Phil was always a girly boy. He loved playing with Barbies and wearing pink. Even though his mom assured him it was perfectly normal, he sensed something was different.
One day, a boy appeared on the other side of Phil's fence, sitting by a tree and drawing in his notebook. Phil's mom told him this was their new neighbor, and Phil found him intriguing. Boys had always been a mystery to Phil, even though he was one himself.
When Phil talked to the brunet boy, he became tongue-tied and blushed, yet he couldn't help but watch him through a small hole in the fence.
In just a few days, they grew closer, developing trust and perhaps even liking each other. But they were just kids, with big expectations and a different outlook on reality.
This is a story about coming out, teenage drama, and two boys who live on opposite sides of a big wooden fence.
(teenage Phan)
Phil has a massive crush on Dan, and it keeps getting bigger with every passing moment of his life. Phil is always envious when Dan gets in a relationship or he hits on someone, but he's scared to tell him.
Until he finally does.
He didn't get the reaction he expected.
Rejection.
Dan soon realized his mistake, and that in his heart he had something for Phil all along.
