Nate Blanchard was a college sophomore born to high class religious parents but raised by what they call hicks. He was a gorgeous guy hiding in the safety of a black hoodie and an impenetrable shield of pessimism and depression. He knew himself that one day he'd wind up spiraling down a pit of darkness and end up dead. One incident when he was younger left him scarred. He wasn't sure if he could trust anyone anymore. He was also not a fan of Aiden Pattinson. He was too often bubbly, loud, and dated more boys than the average boy-crazed teenage girl. He was all too opposite, the trust fund baby was too popular to notice an antisocial like Nate. Of course, these were all excuses. Wayward glances in algebra meant more than a simple look and the ability to spot him in any environment was not a simple coincidence. So, what happens when Aiden pays Nate more attention than he could ever dream of?
