In his last year of UK high school, Jack Dalton has - finally! - learnt to embrace his awkwardness. So what if his hobby is railway enthusiasm? And memorising bus timetables can be useful, right?
There's still a romantic void in Jack's life, though. The London teen worries he'll be alone forever, until an Olympic volunteering opportunity connects him with closeted and troubled classmate, Evan.
On the surface, Jack and his extrovert love interest have little in common beyond a shared appreciation of bad jokes, and pizza. As colourful friends and family complicate their relationship, though, Jack comes to understand how both boys share a deep need to feel wanted.
With their school days ending, can Jack and Evan remain a couple through near-tragedy, and the looming separation of university? Or will it be all-change, for the rail fan?

*THIS STORY IS UNDER COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION.* Prickly, sarcastic, self-aware Austin is roped into a risky dare by his best friend that leads to one of the most frustratingly eventful days of his young life. Not one for attention, Austin has preferred a quiet life within the otherwise chaotic and cruel confines of high school that is fueled by pubescent hormones and pointless drama. For years, he has maintained that normalcy until he wakes up one day to a whirlwind of misunderstandings that he can't take back that was caused by a mistake his sister made. Within the misunderstandings, one new entity in his life --that is not by design of his own, springs up and somehow weasels his way into Austin's world. Noah. Noah is a new boy in town whose mission in life seems to be centered around driving Austin mad! He himself is shrouded in mystery and, despite his erratic mannerisms, something about him effortlessly pulls Austin to him as time goes by that even Austin's resistance cannot fight against.
