"Love can be difficult. Sometimes you fall in love with the wrong person, sometimes you fall in love with the right person at the wrong time. But if you play your cards smart, hold your deck close to your chest, place your bets just right, and don't fold, your chance at  love can be your winning hand at life."
                                                                                                   ****
  Heartless. If you were to ask anyone how to describe 17 Year old Kairo Woods that's the exact word they would spit out. No one knows his story, where he came from, or why he's the way he is and frankly no one cares. Even his "best friend" of 2 years, he keeps at arms length never quite letting her in and mean muggin everyone who even thinks about talking to him. After all that is what heartless people do.

   Happy. If you were to ask anyone how to describe 18 year old Zyaire Moore that's the exact word they would gush out. Everyone knows his story, and  where he came from, and why he's the way he is. Or at least that's what he lets people believe. His hundreds of "friends" adore him, throw him parties, and invite him everywhere and he goes to all of them "enjoying" the company and "laughing"  the whole time. After all that is what happy people do... Right?

"One of my favorite tropes is someone who believes they're hard to love and someone who loves them like it's breathing." TW: Mentions of suicide and abuse Forest Gray is what everyone would describe as a golden boy; perfect grades, the star of the football team, and a damn good friend. He is rich and good looking, he has it all. Except the one thing he's wanted his whole life; his parents love and acceptance. They are never home, yet they hold a protective barrier around him no matter what. They even own the school he goes to. Forest is to do and be who they say, and he's never been one to disobey or displease anyone, except for when he falls in love with the one boy who's able to break his parents spell. Atlas Hart is different from most people, because most people don't skip school and disappear for days or even weeks at a time. But most people don't have his intense emotions and outbursts of anger, or a broken family, or looked at as the outcast of the school. When Forest meets Atlas, he can't believe he's never noticed someone so perfect for him, and Atlas just can't believe someone like Forest is even talking to him. They fall helplessly in love, creating a bump in the plan Forest's parents laid out for his life before he was even born. Follows the struggles of falling in love with someone you're not supposed to and coming to terms with it while facing obstacles like family and friendship complications in which the characters have to overcome.

I'm Finn Vasco but that's not quite important right now. I'm a pretty sarcastic guy if I'm gonna be honest. I'm closed off and I literally only have one friend. I might hate everybody in my school... but there's this guy there. He's... let's say, dreamy, someone who I thought would never even acknowledge my existence. That guy who was too damn good to be true, who was too good for me, who was too good for... everybody! You get what I'm trying to say. He's that cliché king of the campus and a popular and attractive heartthrob and with just one wink, he can send people on their knees... That sounded so wrong, anyway. So can you blame me for being over the moon when one day, he approached me only to what? ...To ask for my help courting my freaking best friend. I knew it was stupid for me to hope I'd even have any chance with him anyway. So I just agreed to help him. Even if I was hurting myself and potentially my best friend in the process, my best friend who has been there with me through the thick and thins, I still did it... I mean what could go wrong besides literally everything? So my plan was to just set my crush and my best friend up, and then everything would be alright... right? But of course, life doesn't like it when people have it easy. *** Highest Ranking #2 on #lgbtfiction #5 on #boyxboy #6 on #gay #8 on #teenfiction *** ~ WARNING: This story contains strong language and bullying.
