Ketika semua yang kamu inginkan tak selalu kamu dapatkan. Alvin titisan Dewa Yunani memiliki tubuh atletis dan dikaruniai otak yang cerdas, ini pasti pria yang diimpikan banyak perempuan tak terkecuali Agatha si ketua osis SMA BIMA GARUDA nan perfeksionis, pecandu buku, dan siswi terpintar seangkatannya. Tapi, kenapa sulit sekali untuk mendekati Alvin kenapa sepertinya semakin Agatha mendekat semakin Alvin menjauh seperti memberikan jarak yang tak mampu Agatha tempuh. Hanya ada satu jalan yaitu melalui Aldo, bad boy sekolah yang selalu ada diperingkat terakhir, pergi ke sekolah bermodal sebuah buku dan juga sebuah pena, tidak lebih. Aldo yang suka membuat guru-guru pusing tujuh keliling dan membuat buku pelanggaran sekolah penuh dengan namanya. Aldo adalah adik Alvin, ketampanan mereka sudah tidak diragukan lagi, hampir dari segi fisik mereka sama tapi hanya otak dan tingkah laku yang membedakan mereka. Agatha tidak akan pernah mau memasuki daerah teritorial Aldo, baginya sangat membuang waktu berurusan dengan manusia yang tidak berguna seperti itu. Apa kalian pernah mendengar seorang yang pintar, berbakat, serta sangat disiplin berurusan dengan orang yang suka bertengkar, pemalas, dan suka membuat onar. Sanggupkah seorang Agatha mendekati Alvin yang dingin dan kaku? Namun, sebelumnya 'Sanggupkah Agatha mencuri celah melalui Aldo, adik Alvin?' Atau justru Agatha dan Aldo terperangkap perasaan asing yang perlahan menyelinap melalui celah-celah pertemuan tak terduga yang dikerjakan oleh takdir?

🍌🍌🍌Think Netflix's SEX EDUCATION, but without the accents, and instead of pictures and sound, I put the words on the screen, and you paint the pictures with your mind.🥒🥒🥒 *** Some guys are showers. Some guys are growers. Then there's Peter. He's got a big secret about a little problem (in his pants). But one day, that secret gets out, and Peter's life is ruined. The guys at his high school mock Peter without mercy. The girls giggle at the idea of dating Peter. But the situation isn't entirely without hope. Peter's best friend Elroy is a wannabe teenage business prodigy who sees Peter's predicament as an opportunity to develop a product that will help him "tap into the bajillion dollar market for addressing male insecurity." Meanwhile, a mysterious art student named Audrey seems to like-like Peter, despite his, ahem, little problem. Which is weird, because the rumor around school is that Audrey is a size queen. Why else would she be collecting so many dick pics? Peter's Little Peter is a story about the truth behind the myths of male sexuality, the awkwardness of teenage romance, surviving high school, and the bumpy road to self-acceptance.
