ASHER is one of the only gay kids out of the closet. He never really came out to anyone, news just spread after he was caught making out with a fellow male student in a supply closet. He never denied them, either. He went about his daily life, struggling to get by. He gets mostly C's and he's terrible at math. He spends his nights studying and cooking. Well tonight he's being dragged to a party in celebration of their schools soccer teams win. Asher was very prepared to leave early. He was never the party type, and knew he'd want to leave as soon as they got there. What he wasn't ready for, was the very attractive soccer captain to start flirting with him.
OLIVER is a straight A student, which is shocking, seeing as how he's always going to parties and never studies. He plays soccer, he's the team captain, and also plays piano. He's popular and has a group of girls who are always trying to find ways to date him. Oliver has never showed any interest in anyone...that is until tonight's party, when he meets an orange haired boy with brown eyes and stars on his cheeks. Sure, he's drunk, but this boy is the most beautiful person he's ever seen, and Oliver wants him.
