Enya Woods has anorexia. She's in hospital getting treated for it, but she isn't getting better. Every day, she slips further and further into the depths of her illness and it seems like nothing will bring her back from the precipice. 

Until Henry Clark. An obnoxiously arrogant boy who everyone else apparently likes, but can only seem to get under Enya's skin. Yet, the more time they spend together, the more the ice that's been trapping her starts to melt. 

He begins to open her eyes to all of the things that her disease has taken from her. He begins to change her. 

Maybe there could be more to life than her illness.

Duplicity by howboutnoxoxo

Kieran Tate is the type of person who just floats through life. He had a somewhat average childhood, has somewhat average grades, and isn't really anything special. That's the way he likes it to be; do all of the needed tricks without falling off the skateboard. Do what you need to do to be noticed, but never do enough to be considered an attention seeker. There's only one problem that interferes with Kieran's life that causes everything to not be so simple. Cassius Connor won't leave him alone. Kieran has tried time and time again to ignore his snide comments and nonsensical arguments, but Kieran can only take so much before his fuse blows. Not a day goes by when Kieran and Cassius aren't fighting with each other. The happy-go-lucky skateboard kid and the gloomy, hot-headed teen have nothing in common, so how do they butt heads so often? Soon enough, their lives become intertwined with no way to reverse it. From jealous best friends, to new family challenges, to dealing with an enemy, Kieran has it all. Only it's a lot more complicated than it seems. Cassius is a much more interesting person than what's on the surface. Cassius tries to bury his past, but the closer Kieran gets to him, the more of his dark and forgotten life is uncovered. Not only that, but Kieran is about to find the key to ruining Cassius's life. Will he use it to his advantage or will he use it to unwind Cassius's complexity? With a lot of rage, a lot of laughs, and a whole lot of healing, will Kieran and Cassius finally see eye to eye... or will their relationship blossom into something more? It's your usual enemies-to-lovers tale, but with a twist.
