Summer, 2003. An easygoing teen skateboarder and his insensitive best friend must navigate their changing friendship when a flirty boy comes between them.

*****

Sixteen-year-old Matteo is a simple dude. It's 2003, his brother is fighting in Afghanistan, and his best friend Logan is obsessed with gay jokes, but Matt doesn't like to worry. He just wants to film his skateboard video.

Then cute emo boy Quinn applies to work at the skate shop with Matt.  Being friends with clever, flirty Quinn is like learning a new skateboard trick: a little bit intimidating but totally (probably) worth the challenge. Now Logan hates Quinn, there's money going missing at the shop, and Matt can't seem to figure out if Quinn might possibly, maybe, want to kiss him back. This summer just got a lot more complicated.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! I wanted to write a one-shot for pride month, but I turned it into a short story because pride month and my gay readers deserve more than just a one-shot. Tyler Joseph is a great high school kid: He's popular, is great at basketball, has great friends and good grades. However, he chooses to live a lie every day again: He's gay, and very much in the closet. He's terrified of what would happen if people would find out about him being gay, and it's taking a toll on him. WARNING: self harm, thoughts about possible homophobia, also some gay stereotypes Started: 27 June 2018 Finished: 16 December 2019
