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.

Everyone loves Nicholas Dawson. He is the golden boy, the one with perf*ct grades, a gorgeous girlfriend and a bunch of popular friends. Nathan Dawson is his identical twin and Nathan is nothing like him. It isn't easy to be compared with the perf*ct brother, the perf*ct son and the perf*ct student in a world that demands for perf*ction. But it's all about to change when Nathan stumbles upon a guy to whom perf*ct is a swear word. °°°° "Perf*ction is an illusion, it doesn't exist. Think about your brother. Can you tell me something that isn't perf*ct about him?" "Well.. He can be a bit selfish sometimes." "Good. What else?" "He lets his friends laugh at me even though he knows it hurts me. And.. He hangs toilet paper the wrong way." "See? He's not perf*ct. He just seems that way, because no one is looking close enough." "But everyone likes him more than me." "Not everyone. I like you a lot more than I like him. You're not perf*ct and you don't try to make people think you are. You're real and I love that about you." °°° 2021-2022
