The one who is constantly lying.
The one who is constantly hiding.
The one who has to lie.
The one who has to hide.
The one who knows to let go.
And the one who is afraid to let go.

High school tends to be cruel to those who go against the natural order of what is considered cool and what isn't. It's why Carter Knowles and Xander Quinn always felt the need to hide their love of ABBA music from their peers. After all, if the scary goth girl and the popular jock swimmer were both open about their love for the Swedish pop group, no one would take them seriously anymore.

When one day brings these two unlikely friends together, they unknowingly begin to unravel the lives of the people closest to them. It soon becomes obvious that no one really knows each other the way they thought they did, but everyone is about to learn more about each other whether they're ready for them to know or not.

*Trigger warning for violence
**All chapter titles are named after ABBA songs, but the songs itself don't always represent what's in the chapter. Sometimes, the title is just fitting.

A Touching Of Lips (BoyxBoy) by mossfordgreen
63 parts Complete
Why does life come with so many different possible answers to the same question? Which answer is the correct one and how do you know for sure? Finding your true self, amid all the decisions you're forced to make in growing up, is quite a battle, isn't it? I was doing okay. Really I was. Then I literally bumped into him and that was it. That was when everything changed. My life took a new turn and became an exciting adventure. I found myself swept along in a sea of change that I either had to swim along with, or sink and drown. It was a no brainer to swim but fully embracing the changes to the way I thought and felt was quite a journey. This is my story.

Match Your Weakness With A Name by kellallyourfriends
25 parts Complete
Geoff's an inexperienced lifeguard with a deep, dark secret he doesn't dare tell his friends: he's gayer than Neil Patrick Harris riding Nyan Cat's rainbow dick through the sky while making out with hot shirtless alien men. Awsten's a model on hiatus who hasn't worn short sleeves since November. One chance encounter at the Houston Community Pool could mean absolutely nothing...or it could change their lives forever. Given that this is a gay fanfic written by a queer hormonal teenage boy, the second option is more likely. If you need anything tagged as triggering, tell me.
Love... Not Romance [BoyxBoy] by JSBelard
36 parts Complete
Everything started the night before we moved out of our town. I decided to take a late night swim at the lake I love the most. It was sort of a goodbye, a way to somehow wash the pain brought about by my parents' divorce, but then he appeared. As I was floating in the lake, watching the moon and the stars, I heard a noise in the water, and as I turned my head, I saw this guy drowning. I saved him, I brought him back to life, and then... I kissed him and fell in love with him. Things changed after that one stolen kiss. I ran away, and I never thought that I would see him once again, but I did. Little did I know that the moment we meet again, my life would never be the same. This is a story, of how I learn what love really is, of how I came to accept it, of how I came to fight for it. This is not a story about romance. It's way more than that. This is a story where love, family, and little bit of mystery collides. This is a story about my love.

"This story is still ongoing, so stay tuned! I regularly update with new chapters, so don't miss out!" -------------------------------------- I keeps the email in the draft folder, though, just in case. It sits there, quietly waiting, nestled in my inbox-a constant, silent reminder of everything I can't bring myself to say. The words are there, lingering, yet I can't seem to make myself click 'send.' I wonder if I'll ever find the courage to open up, to release those feelings. Or maybe it will just remain there, forever unseen, never spoken aloud, always tucked away in the background of my thoughts, like a secret I can never quite let go of. @stupidfreak
Where Am I? (boyxboy) by dontgetyourhopesupp
27 parts Complete Mature
Dawson has had it rough. Not as bad as some, worse than others. He lives in constant secret, heart ache and pain. After his parents died he under went a transformation, rendering him unrecognizable. After three years of pain, cutting, and one suicide attempt, he returns to his hometown. As Dawson hides his identity, it will become harder and harder to seal away the truth when faces from the past start revealing themselves, including his gorgeous ex best friend Alec. Only Dawson isn't the only one with secrets and when a lie reaches Dawson's ears, it will take all he has in him to protect the one thing he has left. Himself. Dealing with depression is hard, and Dawson will have to learn it's not something that can be handled alone. He'll have to open up his heart once more, even if it risks him getting hurt, if he wants to achieve happiness. ---------------------------- This is a trigger warning, to anyone that has problems with self-harm I recommend you don't read this as there are some graphic scenes. Also, this is a boyxboy story, so if you don't like hot steamy action between two boys, this is not the story for you. If you don't like it you shouldn't even be reading this anyway and I will not tolerate hate. You do not choose your sexuality and no one else has the right to make someone feel bad about who they are. Also, if any of you are having problems, or the story has triggered you, please inbox me. I love to hear from my readers.

A Breath of Fresh Air by HeyImZackC
10 parts Complete
For 17-year-old high school senior Evan Brooks, life could be better. He's a social outcast at school, stuck in a rural Alabama small town he never wanted to move to, and he's got a secret he's desperately trying to keep: he's gay. When he, his hypermasculine brother, homophobic stepdad, and aloof mother all embark on a weekend vacation to the Florida panhandle, none of them can anticipate how much a simple 3-day trip will change their lives forever... CONTENT WARNING/TRIGGERS: Please note that this story contains very strong language at times and some mature themes. Some characters face emotional abuse. There is also a small amount of physical abuse, but it is mostly implied apart from one scene which is not extremely graphic. Some characters are homophobic, and a slur is used a handful of times. **2025 Update: Hi! This was my very first attempt at crafting an entire story from scratch all the way back in 2020, and I'd like to think my writing has since improved. I will soon be revisiting this story and making some enhancements - most notably, splitting up current chapters into smaller ones so they are much more easily digestible. In addition, I'll be making some edits to grammar and formatting, as well as giving some of the dialog a refresh in an effort to be less...cringe. Lol. There are also a few plot points I want to smooth out. While all of this is happening, the story will still be available in full here on Wattpad, though you may notice some "construction" happening (i.e. one chapter is very long and then there's a super short chapter, one chapter is formatted differently than another, etc.) Thanks for your patience while I work to spruce up this story :) I hope you still enjoy it in the meantime!
