In the late nineties asexuality is all but ignored as an orientation. Jess doesn't understand her complex array of emotions or why she finds it so hard to relate to her fellow classmates. Catholic high schools and churches simply don't address the issue, and the internet is still nascent. Jess can't tell anyone the truth. Not even her best friend Care. Instead, she hides behind the guise of faith. Behind a mask of celibacy. Until she meets Eric, that is. He lets slip that he's asexual, and Jess wants to learn more. --- Watty Winner 2021 for best cover, best YA, and the Wattpad Books prize! --- Status: completed and unedited Rating: PG-15 for moderate language and frank discussions about sexuality Genre: teen fiction romance featuring two heteroromantic ace characters --- Cover designed using Canva Pro August 2020 --- Please note: This work is a teen fiction novelization of my multimedia novella "Mask of Celibacy".

Angel's dream has come true- she's met her favorite YouTuber, Squid! But it's so much better than she ever could've imagined. He's so nice and altruistic and he actually wants to hang out with her, outside of Minecon. Wait... that can't be right. She's just a fan. Surely he wouldn't want to talk to her. But somehow, they become friends. Possibly even... more than friends. Hey there peoples of Wattpad, it's your gurl Elsie here. Somehow you have stumbled upon this book, so I suppose I should welcome you. But, I'm not going to because I'm lazy. *shrugs* You'll learn to deal with it if you stick around. Anyways, this is an iBallisticSquid fanfiction, if you couldn't tell by the cover. I've been working on it for... let's see, I think coming up on two years now? I know, a whole two years invested in something I'll probably be ashamed of in the future, but oh well. Enough about that, I've gotta tell you something before you attempt to start reading this, if you're at all interested for whatever reason. There are some chapters that are "mature," but I put a warning at the beginning of them so you can skip them if you don't like reading that type of content. It never goes into detail so I'm not going to mark the whole story mature, but I'm just telling you now as a heads-up. But please don't let that scare you off! It's quite far into the story and like I said, you can always just skip it if you want. I encourage you to just give this story a try. There's always the back button if you decide it's not for you, which I know it won't be for a lot of people. But if you're willing to take a chance and come on this journey with Angel, David, and myself (as the author I mean) then be my guest! We always enjoy a bit of company.
