Ezra was never confident. Never felt comfortable in his own skin. Never appreciated what the universe had to offer. Until his life actually became a mess.
When his mother died, he had to abandon the only home he ever knew in search for peace.
With a guarded, troubled father and a painful background, Ezra is struggling to fit in. Dayton might be a small town, but in Belmont High, trouble can hide behind every corner.
He will meet new people, bearing their own sad stories and one particular distant, mysterious boy, who will challenge him to trust, to believe, to let go.
Will Ezra explore all the new aspects of himself he'd only gotten a glimpse of?
Or will his haunted past hold him back?
Will he embrace this new Ezra that's slowly creeping into existence?
The only thing he knows is that even if life chooses to show you its dark side:
The best things come, when you least expect it.

Love in Denial
Ohm has always been confident in his identity-a straight guy with a loving girlfriend and a carefree attitude. Flirting has always been just a game to him, something harmless and meaningless. So when he starts teasing Leng, his new classmate, he thinks nothing of it. After all, they're both guys, and it's just for fun... right? But as the playful banter turns into lingering stares and an undeniable tension, Ohm finds himself drawn to Leng in a way he can't explain. The more he tries to convince himself it's nothing, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth. He isn't just playing around anymore-he's falling. Trapped between the life he's always known and the feelings he never expected, Ohm struggles to accept the possibility that he might not be as straight as he thought. And in a world that refuses to understand, loving another man feels like the greatest risk of all. Will Ohm find the courage to face himself and the judgment of others, or will he let fear dictate his fate?Concluida
