Peyton Reyes knows two things about himself for sure. Though he doesn't fit any stereotypes, he knows that he's gay, and due to his own human stupidity, he also knows that he's in love with James O'Connor. To Peyton, everything else is a bunch of puzzle pieces scattered around and missing from the picture; that is to say he doesn't understand anything. He doesn't understand why he fell for James, who is in love with a girl, or why, no matter how hard he tries, he can't love anyone else. But as Peyton grows closer to James, he learns that James has his own secrets and Peyton is determined to break down his walls.

His Pride
Bully × Victim? No. Bully × Bully? Worse. Jayden Parker is Crystal High's golden boy. Top student. Basketball captain. Straight-A student. The kind of person teachers praise, parents brag about, and everyone secretly wants to be. At least, that's what it looks like from the outside. Behind the perfect grades and flawless reputation is someone far less admirable. Someone who laughs at cruel jokes, looks the other way when people get hurt, and never questions the world he's grown up in. Especially when it comes to Oliver-the openly queer student that Jayden and his friends love to torment. Then Axel Rivera becomes a problem. His best friend. His partner in crime. The one person who can make him laugh after a terrible day. The one person who somehow sees through every carefully built wall Jayden has spent years hiding behind. What starts as denial quickly turns into confusion, guilt, and feelings. As the cracks in his perfect life begin to spread, Jayden is forced to confront the truth he's spent years mocking in others. And for the first time, he has to decide whether he's willing to stay the person he's always been... or become someone better. Even if it costs him everything.Complete
