•~" 🌊 I've been watching you
for quite some time
can't stop staring at those
ocean eyes 🌊 ~•
Sophia Shilo, a graduate from high school, is now just starting his college life with a new roommate. He got thrown in a dorm-a small kitchen, one shared bathroom, and two, small bedrooms, with a jock, Connor Whiteton. How could life get any worse? Sharing an apartment with a gay, frisky, football player wasn't easy. But identifying as a genderqueer bisexual and going by male pronouns wasn't the that stunning either, when you have long hair and a higher voice than most males, not to mention more feminine than masculine.
Sophia's college peers made fun of him-he only hoped for it to come out playfully. But what he didn't expect to find was love. He thought he had sworn off a boyfriend or girlfriend ages ago-in middle school, when that girl broke his heart.
Then, he gave Sophia those ocean eyes, and Sophia fell hard.
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
