The Seat Next To Me (bxb)

In the bustling halls of Eastwood High, Victor, the popular jock, and Nicholas, the openly gay nerd, find themselves seated next to each other for the entire school year. Victor, struggling with his own hidden feelings, hides behind a facade of homophobic jokes and comments. His world is turned upside down when he has to share a desk with Nicholas, the very embodiment of everything he mocks to protect his own secrets.

As the year progresses, the unexpected proximity forces Victor to confront his own prejudices and insecurities. Initially harsh and dismissive, Victor gradually starts seeing Nicholas beyond the stereotypes he's clung to. An awkward truce forms between them, leading to moments of unexpected understanding and vulnerability.

Outside the classroom, their paths cross on the daily train ride home, pushing Victor further out of his comfort zone. Through their shared journeys, Victor begins to see Nicholas in a new light, questioning his own identity and the mask he wears, and as time passes by...They take their friendship to a new level.
