"No, you asshat, it's because I'm in love with you!"
------------------
Zane Starburn, the bisexual high school bad kid. He smoked, drank, went to parties, and slept around. Though he still had problems of his own, one of which include accepting himself for being bisexual.
Noah Andersyn, high school jock. Once he finally ended his toxic relationship of two years with his girlfriend, he started to notice another girl. Amelia Starburn. Though she was a year younger, he couldn't deny nor forget about his feelings for her. However, he could never seem to get her attention and he was willing to go to the extremes to get that to change.
Noah's best friend, Callum was openly gay and struggled to keep relationships long term as most gay guys at school were closeted. Will he meet someone to change that?
Emmet and Clay did not meet on the best of terms, but that doesn't stop them from becoming fast friends. As their bond grows stronger, they will do whatever it takes to maintain this new friendship. Even though that may not be all that either of them wants.
After years of living in a conservative southern town, Emmett has developed a hard shell that is not easily pierced. It's gotten even more difficult since breaking up with his first serious boyfriend left him feeling devastated and betrayed. Then a new friend comes along to peel back all the layers of protection, making Emmett feel happy again, and perhaps making him feel something more.
The loss of his father at a young age left Clay with severe anxiety. His girlfriend says he's emotionally distant - because he is. Clay never gave much thought to his sexuality. He started dating because all his friends were, and although his relationships never seem to work out, he continues to try, because that's what's expected. The steady track he's been traveling is suddenly upended when he becomes enamored with a boy he just met. Now Clay has to figure out what he wants and how far he's willing to go to get it.
