I wish I could say life has been easy. But that would be a lie. Having a parent pass, all but easy. Having a great group of friends though, that only makes it easier to cope. The down fall of that group of friends though, is that after a funeral, long summer vacation, the one friend I looked most forward to seeing, I can't even form a sentence with now. --- The summer before his 8th grade year, Calvin Truitt, his father John, and little brother Brayden went through a devastating loss. Calvin and Brayden lost their mother in a long, unglorious fight to the big C, pancreatic for the record. And John, lost the love of his life, his wife, and his very best friend. His friends spent that entire summer giving nothing but comfort, love, and not to mention good times that Calvin didn't want but absolutely needed. Minus one friend. That one friend, Delilah Martin. Delilah Martin spent that summer away, visiting with her grandparents in Nevada, but little to Calvins surprise, when they came back on that first day of school, Delilah was no longer that girl he always knew. Braces were gone, body filled out, coming in to her own sense of style, and it had Calvin shaking in his shoes. Fast forward 4 years, and barely a word has been said between he, and his former bruh girl best friend turned baddie, until, Calvin's fresh new sister shows up in beautiful St Augustine Florida, and just as much as he and his friends rocked her world, she rocked his by befriending beautiful Delilah Martin. Delilah, she is the girl Calvin has always dreamed of. When it comes to Calvin, Delilah feels that she might as well keep dreaming. But with the help of Haven, Tucker, Colten, Ricky, and Shay, not to mention the loud and over-opinionated friends he's come to share with Haven from New Orleans, can Calvin make his dream girl his reality?

Jace Summers is not your average high school boy, per se. He prefers being himself no matter what anyone else thinks about him, and he's proud of who he is. He has pastel pink hair, stunning deep brown eyes, and a sweet and silky voice that makes all of the girls swoon. Too bad he's gay though, and everyone knows it. Jace has been out to the world since seventh grade and he never got too much trouble from it, which he is thankful for, but he knows he would be okay even if he was bullied harshly. It's just who he is. Alec Walker is a whole other story, however. He is very basic, brown hair, hazel eyes, all-black attire, and he is well-known throughout the school but he doesn't consider himself to be one of the popular kids. He loves skateboarding and singing, has good grades. There's nothing overly unique about him- except his voice could make angels swoon. Both boys are different but not so different that you'd think they would dislike each other. Well, you would be wrong. They hate each other with burning passions. Sorry- hate is a strong word. They loathe each other with deep burning passions. Jace thinks Alec is a jackass know-it-all because that's how he comes off to a lot of people until you get to know him, and Alec thinks Jace is annoying with how he presents himself. Those seem like small things that could be easily overcome, however it's also their encounters in the halls or in classes that cause problems. By now it's just mutual hate that both boys are too stubborn to give up. But when one day they get news that seems like the end of the world... it turns out to be the best thing that has happened to both of them. Not at first, but with time. Read to find out what happens! (Also- it is a mystery to even me how long this story will be. I'll be posting chapters as I finish and we'll see how long it turns out to be. It could be my shortest with like four chapters, or my longest with thirty or more. You never know. I hope you enjoy it though!)
