EDITORS' PICK (November 2019) || COMPLETE Nick Buckingham is three things if nothing else: salty, antisocial, and the quintessential gay theatre nerd. He's content to drift through the rest of senior year throwing himself into productions to avoid his peers - until it arrives. As an anonymous classmate begins courting Nick via text, he's suddenly desperate to figure out just who this dashing secret admirer is--even if it means actually socialising. He'll be fine--so long as he keeps his wits about him and doesn't fall for this probably-catfisher. Can't be too hard, right?

Gavin is a guy who doesn't like the forced being nice to people. He's popular, but not many people are OK enough for him to be around. Until he meets Luke and no matter what Gavin tries, Luke won't leave him alone. ---------- SHORT STORY, for real not more than 3 chapters!
