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.

Internal Hatred, Eternal Desire by ValeXiaStarr
18 parts Ongoing Mature
Desire and hate aren't as opposing as people think. They can often mix. Kieran Wayne was a very irritated and moody teenager. He was constantly annoyed by all the attention he was always given, due to his striking beauty. However lately he was been extra annoyed with everyone; with soccer getting serious, modeling taking up more time, and senior year activities. But what was really making him so agitated? Ryan King. Ryan king was a friendly and extroverted person. He loves attention and socializing. Even though he should be thinking of only football, his mind does often trace back Kieran. He has hated Kieran forever. He hates how perfect of a life Kieran seems to have, and he especially loathes how Kieran takes it all for granted. After years of a back and fourth war between the two, their hatred final reaches a max. And a new feeling becomes discovered... desire? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ryan had finally realized why Kieran was acting so unusual. Why his hair looked so chaotic. Why he had a deep pink reflecting on his pale skin. Why his eyes were dark and peering through his heavy black eyelashes. Why his breathing was making his whole chest move swiftly up and down. Why his mouth was slightly opened. Why he looked like he was begging for a cavernous desire. All of a sudden there was not even an ounce of hate in Ryan's body. The usual perfect, conceited, model was begging. Or as many would call it ... submitting. This hypnotized Ryan. Ryan wanted to see more of this side from Kieran. He suddenly had the urge to play. He got close to Kieran's ear. With his breath tickling Kieran's skin, he said, "You enjoying this, Wayne?" in a husky voice.

Sage Gibson wasn't prepared for his whole existence to be uprooted and moved away. He didn't love his life, but that didn't mean he wouldn't miss it. Now he's in a small town where he pretends not to notice the looks some people give him. Maybe it's the painted finger nails? He doesn't care all that much. He's too busy trying to figure himself out and how much of his past is affecting him. With his family to worry about and his own personal puzzle that is his mind, he doesn't have time to care about what people at school think of him. He's happy enough with his one new friend and gawking at her hot brother. (He will never admit that last part out loud.) That's all he needs. And if said hot brother wants to become friends too? Well, he won't complain. Marc Yamasaki is normally a quiet guy. He doesn't like to talk too much and everyone has just accepted that. He doesn't have much to say, so why try? He's too tired of trying to get people to care. When a new boy shows up, suddenly his interest is piqued. The freckled face boy is good at basketball and he's a little cute. Sure, he likes to talk a lot, but Marc finds it oddly adorable. The only slight problem is his hesitation to join the team, and the fact that he might be flirting with Aria, Marc's sister. He can't tell if he wants to hate or like this guy. Then he finds out he's gay? Cherry on top. So, what happens when the two boys get closer while playing basketball? Their friendship gets to feeling a little... odd. What will they become when a new tension starts to settle over them?
