a story about two boys who end up in detention, and it somehow brings them closer. lowercase intended

Eli has a pretty crazy life, a dead mom, a drunk father, a twin that doesn't want anything to do with him, a friend who's been paralyzed from the waist down, two bullies that won't stop being dicks, and a huge secret. He's gay. His life turns upside down when he learns he has to share a house with a hot and sexy (not so foreign) foreign exchange student, Noah. But of course it seems like they have nothing in common. Noah's popular. Eli isn't. Noah's athletic. Eli isn't. Noah seems to get along with everyone. Eli doesn't. But once you start seeing the Shades in between, you realize that they aren't so different after all. [I know. Very sucky description but I promise the book is way better]

Growing up, learning everything that comes along with it, including the varying perspectives in life, death and everything in between. A story told by two boys trying to figure out their fleeting youth, in a coming-of-age story of their own. Copyright © 2016 Zen. All Rights Reserved.

Elijah's not stupid, he knows his friends are pretty fake, seen the drooling stare with money in their eyes, blinding them from seeing Elijah as something more than walking money. Elijah had a busy schedule, which was probably why he never noticed Watson, the small cello player in the school's orchestra. He never saw the guy who sat in the back of his classes, never speaking a word to everyone. But neither did anyone else, if they had, maybe they would have noticed the bruises covering Watson's arms from a mixture of bullies and his drunken father. What happens when the school's wealthiest attendee notices the quiet cello playing boy with too many unexplainable bruises?
