Zayn Parker, unlike his mom, Jess, isn't invisible, just feels invisible.
With low grades that make him look like nothing compared to his sisters, mediocre baseball skills and not acting like his true self at school. Only acting like himself in front of his best friend, Macy Fergensen, who had feelings for him since they were kids that he fails to see, does Zayn truly feel alone. It isn't until the popular girl, Michelle Aprils, takes notice of him after his first home run, that he finally feels seen.
Nothing in life, especially high school is ever that easy as something happens at a party at Michelle's that changes how Zayn views Macy. But also changes her perception of him due to how he treats her and a huge secret that finally comes out.
When Zayn truly evaluates his relationship with Michelle and decides to go for Macy, she distances herself from him and gets close with his cousin, the sweet and charming J. P Trent. This forces Zayn to befriend the sassy, lost girl, who eats her lunch on the floor by the cafeteria doors, Lex Fisher.
Will Zayn and Macy find their way back to each other, or just like Zayn's home run, will the unexpected happen?
"We've been best friends for fourteen years. Did you really think I wouldn't notice? I can see it... in your eyes. Your smile never reaches your eyes."

When Aspen Ace falls, he falls hard. It's a gradual descent that happens so naturally, Aspen doesn't even recognize anything's changed until he's already neck-deep in an unrequited love for his best friend, Rafe Alvarez.
Nervous and insecure, Aspen brings this new revelation to the person he trusts most-his older brother, Alex. He doesn't expect to be met with unconditional acceptance, but the reaction he receives is nightmare fodder. Regret barely scratches the surface of Aspen's emotions when his brother decides to blackmail him, but with no other option, Aspen learns to survive. Aspen can deal with the abuse as long as Alex keeps his sexuality a secret. He'll just wait it out. Aspen will graduate high school with a baseball scholarship and get the hell out of his conservative hometown... if he can endure. But he can't, and Aspen's suddenly fighting not only his brother, but the all-consuming monster in his head.
