-ON HOLD-
''Have you ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with?''
Meet Gabriel,the Satan of Wood Valley High School. When you look at him, the only thing you can see is the cold and heartless bastard with a leather jacket and heavy boots who get's into fights everywhere. But is this all? No. Gabriel is not heartless, he is not cold and he doesn't get into fights..every day that is. He stands up for people who are gay and are picked out on, of course, he gets all the blame on himself and makes sure that the 'Jocks' aren't figuring out his plan of helping the weak. He loves cute things and cries while watching Titanic, he only has one close friend Anna and a cat called Freddie. He deals with depression, self-harm and he is secretly gay.
Now, meet Levi, the popular guy who everyone looks out for. He's invited everywhere, has the best grades, the perfect looks and girls swooning over him. He never get's into trouble, he's the President of the GSA, the captain of the football team and everyone just loves him! Because, what is there not to love right? His parent's love him and praise him; he's the golden boy of the family. There are no flaws with his perfect personality..or are there?
So what does those two people have in common? They're step-brothers. The Sherman brothers. The ones everyone knows about. The opposites. But as everyone says, opposites attract right? Or maybe the hate that Gabriel feels for Levi is too strong to be more than friends? Will those two finally realise where they're standing or completely ignore the growing feelings?
