Everybody at Fairview High knew that Kyle Konstantinov, the school's biggest flirt, and Nath Santos-Rodriguez, the football team's wide receiver and biggest mystery, were close. It was almost odd, the stark comparison between the bouncy, friendly junior and the tall, brooding senior. On paper, it shouldn't have worked. But something in Kyle evened out something in Nath, and despite having nothing in common, their personalities mixed like peanut butter and jelly. No one quite knows exactly how or when they came to be, but soon they became a well known concept, as if they had somehow merged the idea of one another into their own presence. They didn't have a label for whatever they were, they just were. Until one day, they weren't. Nath and Kyle aren't high schoolers anymore. They're in their twenties, secure in their lives, put their past behind them. Neither of them have talked to eachother since that day, both convincing themselves that there's no other option - not with betrayal that big, secrets that hidden, lies that oppressive. But by either a devious twist of fate or a stroke of second-chance luck, the universe decides to bring them back together. The paradox only begs the question: can something so strong ever truly be snuffed out? Or is a spark only ever going to light into flame?

Silver Brooke was a nice sized town with decent enough people. The neighborhoods were clean and proper and most everyone knew each other. Most everyone knew two people in particular especially. Lance Matthews is a very popular football and baseball star. Standing at about 6'2 with broad shoulders and a very fit and muscular physique the teen could win any female over with his charm. He knows he's attractive and he owned it with confidence. P.J. Sinclair is the captain of the swim team. Standing at about 5'9 with a slim but toned build most girls swooned at the air of mystery that surrounded him.
