"We're only teenagers Scarlett! We shouldn't have to save the world everyday!" He shouted at her.
"We don't get a choice Jesse! Maybe its too early but it doesn't matter," Scarlett yelled back, standing across the other side of the couch. "We were chosen to save this world from those people who want to endanger everyone."
"We were burdened with an impossible task to protect everyone, yet people are killed everyday! Do you really think we were the right people for this?" Jesse questioned, moving into the middle of the room.
"We both know that no one else is willing to step up to the risk, we're the only hope this world has." Scarlett returned, moving to stand in front of him. Tears brimming her eyes, looking sadly up to him. Jesse knew deep down she was right, no one else was willing to step up.

He was bullied for his appearance and withdrawn, relying on Matthew as a pillar of support. Despite Ray's insecurities, his gentle humor and genuine nature made him shine in Matthew's eyes, even if he didn't initially recognize the depth of Ray's affection. As they navigated high school, Ray secretly fell in love with Matthew, confessing his feelings not once, but three times, each time hoping for a different answer. Each rejection stung more deeply, eventually leading Ray to withdraw, hurt yet unable to forget. Now in their third year of college, Ray has grown from the insecure, pimpled high schooler into a confident young man with a striking new appearance.

I can still hear you rolling your eyes. Superheroes. Like in comic books? Like people with super speed and mutant powers? Yes. But this isn't about the fight they have. More about the lives they lead without the masks. But just keep in mind, people who live in the world have all different skin colours. Do not assume my characters are of one unless I state them explicitly. and diversity is welcome here in my novel! Anyhow, back to the story. Ever wonder where supervillains go after their fight with the hero? What about the other side of the story? It's not like they sit in their lair cackling all day and planning how to kidnap reporters. What about the lives they lead? And instead of just focusing on that, what if the superhero and the supervillain knew each other? I mean, can they see behind the mask? No, so their identities are secret. So what if the hero and villain were best friends? What if they were roommates? What if they were falling for each other? And what happens when they find out? Now, I assume you know all of these questions will be answered in this book. But hold on. It's going to take a while. You're in for a bumpy ride.
