Vincent and Julian have been inseparable since grade 3, despite being total opposites. Julian's the charming, popular football star, while Vincent's the brainy, music-loving introvert.
But their rock-solid friendship is put to the test when Vincent develops feelings for Decker, and risks everything to keep his secret safe. Meanwhile, Julian's girlfriend is the queen bee of mean girls at Arrison High, and she's got a score to settle with Vincent.
As Vincent navigates the treacherous waters of high school, he finds solace in new friends Katherine and Tae, the school playboy and the school's devil. But things take a dark turn when Vincent becomes the target of relentless bullying. A single party sets off a chain reaction of events, and Vincent finds himself facing humiliation, intimidation, and cruelty at every turn.
Amidst the turmoil, his feelings for Julian still linger, while Tae is steadfast in protecting the boy he calls "cherry blossom".
But Vincent's got a lot on his plate. He's struggling to balance his dreams of becoming a musician with his mom's expectations of him becoming a doctor. He's fighting to survive high school, and to find his voice in a world that seems determined to silence him.
Will Vincent find the courage to be himself, to pursue his passions, and to follow his heart? Can he overcome the obstacles in his path, and find true love with the one person who truly understands him?
Can two broken souls, scarred by the tribulations of life, find solace and love in each other's embrace? How far will they go to shield themselves from the pain of their past, and will they ultimately find the courage to open their hearts and let love in?
Dive into this emotional, romantic, and dramatic ride to find out!
[boyxboy] Adrian Sanders has had a crush on Derek Peterson for three years in high school. They played on the same side of the field, locking up any receivers that tried to get receptions on them. Adrian is the only person that knows that Derek is gay, but Derek doesn't know that, until Adrian sees something that will change their relationship completely.
WARNING: There are massive spoilers for Teammates With Benefits. If you don't want a book full of smut, then this book can kind of be read as a standalone, but I would not recommend it. There will most likely be smut, but this is going to be a slow burn. Homophobia will be way more present than it was in Teammates With Benefits.
My updating schedule will be the exact same as it was for Teammates With Benefits. Every Monday and Friday at 7 AM PST/10 AM EST. This will be consistent throughout the entire book.
This book will probably be under constant editing, similar to Teammates With Benefits.
Again, the schedule of these football (American football) games will not be the same as it is in real life. In real life, college football ends in January, but in this book, games will go until May.
This is most likely not going to be the only sequel/spin off I write off of Teammates With Benefits. I'll see where all the characters are by the end of this book, decide if I want to or am at least motivated enough to write another book with these characters. I most likely will be.
