"A black coffe please." I think I have seen this guy before. Maybe at school?
Without my music to keep me awake, my eyelids almost fall shut again before 'Eli' asks me a question I didn't expect. "Would you like whipped cream on that?"
Are there actually people who do that? Whipped cream on a pure black coffee? "No thanks, I'm not a such a huge menance to society." I answer.
Eli seems to like that answer, laughs and shoots me a smile, which I can't even answer because of my lack of sleep right now. It probably looks like my facial muscles have a seizure. I pay and he hands me my coffee.

At school, he's smart, mysterious and only has a few friends.
Let me present you James Laurent, your typical nerdy kid, or isn't he?
Seems so at first, but like we all know: don't judge a book by it's cover. At home, he's sweet, classical music-loving and artsy. He doesn't need anything more than his family and stuff. But then a certain boy from school arrives to shake his calm and collected life.
Let me present to you the 'certain boy', our classical 'jock' Eli Sullivan. He needs to do a joined project with James, whom he always found interesting, and slowly gets to know him better.
But when some feelings start to from, he doesn't know what to do with them. He hasn't had feelings like this for a boy before, no?

Sorry, I suck at descriptions. Check out the story if you want some bxb romcom (kind of).
