After getting caught by the police, Axis Imber is sent to a school for misfits. A school to some, a prison for most. Serpenti High is a place like no other. It is ruled by the most rebellious and dangerous teenagers whose social statuses are defined by an unfair system called 'The Ranking System.' The concept is simple: only the fittest survive. Will Axis be able to survive the cruel system? Or will he fall on his knees and become a victim? What happens when he meets someone he never expected to meet again? Axis has changed his name since the orphanage, but he can't change his past. A story of new allies, dangerous enemies, hearbreaking betrayals, and forbidden love. Trigger warning: fighting, swearing, smut, and way too many bad boys *** Rankings: #fiction #featured #queer #gay #depression #bl #youngadult #featured #comedy #bisexual #manxman #teen fiction #boyxboy #bxb #LGBT #romance

It was hard hating someone so much you start to obsess over them. Then again, it really was a small line between love and hate. Charlie: I shouldn't have been there. Not when Jason stood like that, and certainly not with a man on his knees before him. His eyes locked on mine, face twisted in pleasure and vulnerable. He's straight, he's straight, he's straight... Right? Jason: I knew he saw me. Blue eyes wide and lips parted. Lust or shock I didn't know, and I was too far gone to care. It was supposed to be hatred- consuming unadulterated hatred, but the second I grasped the unmistakable lust in his gaze, I was gone. Note: This work is being reedited. Majority of the story remains the same, just rewritten a little with added parts.
