Strange Passion by AuthorXan

Michael wasn't the type of guy to fall for just anyone. It wasn't his fault he turned out to be gay. If not for his father claiming it was a good thing, he wouldn't have questioned his sexuality at the age of 12. He didn't have a thing against homosexuals, but not many people in his city accepted him. Moving to another country was his best option and that's exactly what he did. Sydney wasn't your typical girl. Opposite of Michael, she went after any and every person who showed interest in her. She didn't grow up learning the pros and cons of being bi. Her mother didn't seem to care and her father was barely around to care. Her best friends were guys who had dated each other, putting the thought in her head that being a homosexual was the way to live. During a vacation for Sydney and her friends and Michael's big move, Sydney literally falls into his arms. Michael is hesitant about having a new girl friend, considering many girls always threw themselves at him without knowing he was gay. Sydney was more hesitant about Michael's sexuality. Though she had surrounded herself with her gay friends, she couldn't figure out if he was gay or not. As the relationship between the two grow, they began to realize their true feelings for each other. Is it just a phase or is it really affection?
