Short Story :) Sixteen-year-old Luca Vance has a system: keep your grades high, your sarcasm sharp, and your secrets close. It's not that he's ashamed of being gay-it's just that Ridgeway High isn't exactly bursting with rainbow flags. So Luca coasts through junior year with carefully managed charm and zero emotional attachments. Enter Rhett Sanders: quiet, intimidating, and allergic to small talk. The two have nothing in common-until a twist of bad luck (and one particularly cruel seating chart) throws them together. What starts as a string of awkward silences becomes casual conversations, becomes actual friendship, becomes... something Luca really didn't plan on. But between whispered rumors, cafeteria politics, and the minefield of being a teenager in a small-town high school, falling for someone might be the riskiest thing Luca's ever done. --No smut-- -2025- #504 coming of age #14 gay teen #370 gay romance #86 heartfelt #15 closeted #254 wholesome #94 opposites attract #228 no smut #27 secret crush #561 found family #29 queerromance #6 mom romance #1 Boysxlove #3 enemies to lovers
