"What is your type, then?"
I jolt, his question catching me off guard. Rolling my head to the side to look at him, blades of grass press against my cheek. Thank god he's not watching me because he can't see the war happening inside of my head.
On the contrary, Miles eyes are fluttered shut, one of his hands resting on his stomach.
Every inch of his dark skin is illuminated by the moon, like angels poured silver glitter over him. There's no part of his body that isn't tastefully sculpted, almost like he took a shearing knife to his muscles before coming here simply to carve out a perfect body to tease me with.
His t-shirt pulls taunt with each breath. The fabric catches on his muscles.
The words are caught in the back of my throat.
You. You have always been my type.
Instead, I snort. "Whatever it is, it sure as hell wasn't her."

Parker Graham is totally content to be living his normal life.
He has everything a teenage boy could dream of: rich parents, a nice car, crazy athletic skills, the star spot on the football team, and girls from around the state chasing his every move.
But that contentment is stirred up when Miles Holt moves into town.
Miles is everything that Parker isn't: steadfast, tall, a party animal, bilingual, black, and openly gay... which he has no problem admitting nor proving.
And, to Parker's dismay, it's love at first sight.
In order to keep his life straight and continue the image of perfection, Parker cannot let out the secret of his sexuality due to his scholarships and quarterback reputation on the line. Miles shouldn't get attached regarding a court law for his messed up family.
They won't risk everything just to have one shot at keeping each other in the end... will they?

"Promise me you'll stay strong, for me, for us"
Smiling at the older boy below him Blake rested his forehead upon Alec's.
"I promise"
Hearing these words Alec smiled once more. That promise was all he needed to keep going. For them, for Blake.
***
Blake was a nerd, shy, Introverted. Doesn't have many friends other than the school librarian, parents and the local café owner. He's never been one to interact with his fellow classmates. Always been put down upon, bullied by the schools football team. Starting his Sophomore year in high school all Blake could do was hope for the best, be able to merely pass this year in a flash.
However a certain jock had other plans. Alec was new to school, becoming popular quite quickly. His angelic looks, body like every girls dream. He soon became the captain of the basketball team. His cold demeanor, bitter attitude girls drooled over him even more. All he hoped was to find a girl to make his, spoil. Except fate chose to completely switch his life upside down.
Practicing for his next game Alec didn't expect to stumble upon a certain boy. His heart doing something it's never done before, skip a beat. Following his gut Alec knew what he wanted and when he wants something he gets it.
However will Alec's family secret scare the only thing he's come to care for away in the world?!
Can these two push past the jealousy and hatred from others to find freedom?!
