I'm just an average guy. Really, I am. I'm dealing with my first (bad) breakup, while simultaneously leaving behind the only home I've ever known. It sucks, but it could be worse. And by worse? I mean falling for the school's biggest badass, who also happens to be the captain of my basketball team. Spoiler alert: I do fall, hard. So now the only question is, how do I stop before he finds out?

Let's start the apocalypse.

It's not like he's looking for fights, it's more that fights are looking for him. But he's looking for someone to save him. All the fights have got Lucas into trouble.

First, he needs to figure out what to do about that crush who smoked his last cigarette. But it's so confusing. In fact, he's pretty confused about everything. And the only solution to everything seems to punch someone in the jaw and move on to the next one.

It's hard to believe that a boy who didn't believe in love and a boy who didn't believe he could love himself would have much to learn from each other. But it would turn out that way, of course; with everything to gain and even more to lose. As it turned out, both Liam and Jamie needed to learn not to trust the dim lights and neon nights. This is a backwards love story.
