Astronomy Class 5th period doesn't actually exist, but after a scheduling error Molly Williams, Sammy Jefferson, Wyatt Henders, and Harry Adams are all placed in the elusive class, they form together, bonding over music tastes to create the Parakeet Marquee a band that doesn't even leave Sammy's bedroom for a whole year.
No one thinks that the 4 teens could be anything but a passing obsession, or that they could produce anything deeper than the usual YOLO songs with repetitive meaningless choruses and confusing lyrics. But Parakeet's Marquee is determined to be something more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It's the Parakeet's Marquee."
"Parakeet's Marquee? What in the world is that?"
"No, no, you're doing it wrong. Slur Parakeet, like Para-key, and then Marquee, if you say it right it rhymes."
"You mean if you say it wrong it rhymes."

My band geek." --------------------------------- Hudson Diamante is the son and heir of KD Tech, a worldwide technology company. His parents decide to home a transfer student for publicity.

Imagine his shock when he realizes this 'band geek' is prettier than most girls at his school. Once Alannah arrives in sunny Los Angeles, she is attracted to Hudson, but she doesn't need another guy like him in her life. She is there for one and one reason only-- to get away.

The Aid
*MAJOR EDITS/REWRITE IN PROGRESS* Evie has dealt with her fair share of traumatic events, and she just wants to focus on college and her beloved paintbrushes and bass guitar. Harry is just beginning to deal with the most traumatic events of his life: cancer and the American healthcare system, respectively. The two fellow students meet on a bus when Harry notices a stranger following her, and he walks her home to make sure she's safe. Months later, when she learns about his diagnosis, Evie returns the favor in the only way that makes sense: by marrying him. It's meant to be just on paper. She's merely helping him out financially through her mom's health insurance plan. Neither of them expects this simple favor to come with growing worry that turns into a reluctant friendship, which then spirals completely out of control before either can stop it. But it does, and now they're dealing with it in their own unique ways: Evie ignores it, and Harry ignores her ignoring it. // TW: cancer, strong language, alcohol/underage drinking, mentions of substance abuse, mentions of physical abuse, sexual content
