When Oliver was in the 7th grade, all the other boys started talking about dating and getting girlfriends. He went along with it, pretending to feel the way they did, when in reality, he felt no such attraction. It wasn't until the summer between 8th and 9th grade that he finally realized he was attracted to the same sex. Now, months into the 9th grade, he's starting to feel strangled by this secret that he has to keep. But with a very religious family, and friends he doesn't know if he can trust, he has nobody to confide in. Between this and being skinnier than all the other guys his age, he's starting to feel outside of it all, and his nerves are starting to get the best of his highschool self. And on top of everything else, he's started feeling differently about a close friend. Seeing one of his best friends, Logan Anderson, in a different capacity. Having lived with a complicated family situation all his life, Logan has learned to manage a lot going on in his life. With his father's bipolar disorder holding a big part of his life, he often stresses about his chances of ending up the same way. Seeing the way his siblings see his father, it's one of Logan's biggest fears to end up the same way. So he represses his depressive thoughts, his minor addiction, and his clear suspicions that the path he's headed down has already been set. Now, halfway through his freshman year, he has yet another thing in his life that he needs to repress. Because now, he can't think about his best friend Oliver without his mind filling with all the wrong things. And he is far from okay with it.

"I need you to be the put together one because I'm so fucked up. You've saved me." He whispers. "Carter, we saved each other." I mutter looking at him through my eyelashes. I lean into him, our lips not even an inch apart. "Sophia we shouldn't..." He looks hesitant. "Please, I need you." I almost started crying. "Please." I mutter one more time, my eyes begging for him. My body needing him. Sophia Carrington. She just moved from New York to California in search of a new life. When her life took a dark turn she's forced to leave everything behind. She just wants to finish her final year of high school, numb to the world, while learning to cope with the trauma she's endured. Carter Marquez. Newly single after being dumped by his girlfriend of two years. After losing his dad in a car accident he's fallen apart. The list of people he trusts is short, he hates letting people in. He's constantly trying to make up for his mistakes of the past, trying to find a new purpose in life. When the two of them collided, they instantly took a mutual disliking to each other. Misunderstandings and a dash of alcohol set a flame between them. Sophia hates the snarky remarks and stupid nicknames that leave his mouth. Carter thinks Sophia is just another trust fund brat. Soon their rivalry begins to dissolve and they learn that sharing the pain of their past can form connections they never thought to be possible.
