In the complex world of relationships, when two people face their own challenges and pain, the only way to progress and find peace is to become a team. Not "you" and not "me", but "we". Art and Beam, Pim and Oat, four people, each struggling with their own problems on their own path, must learn that in order to continue living together and find meaning in love, they must stand together and rely on each other.
Can these four people become "we" in the face of the challenges and doubts in their hearts? Does true love only find meaning in being together and supporting each other?
This novel is a story of friendship, love and sacrifice in the face of hardship. One big question remains: will they be able to reach the end or will each be left alone on their own path?

Growing Pains
In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.Complete

Love in Denial
Ohm has always been confident in his identity-a straight guy with a loving girlfriend and a carefree attitude. Flirting has always been just a game to him, something harmless and meaningless. So when he starts teasing Leng, his new classmate, he thinks nothing of it. After all, they're both guys, and it's just for fun... right? But as the playful banter turns into lingering stares and an undeniable tension, Ohm finds himself drawn to Leng in a way he can't explain. The more he tries to convince himself it's nothing, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth. He isn't just playing around anymore-he's falling. Trapped between the life he's always known and the feelings he never expected, Ohm struggles to accept the possibility that he might not be as straight as he thought. And in a world that refuses to understand, loving another man feels like the greatest risk of all. Will Ohm find the courage to face himself and the judgment of others, or will he let fear dictate his fate?Complete

How to Lose your Best Friend
A cliche plot that got disturbed when the supporting characters became far more important to the plot than the main ones. I've never had anyone tell me that I could do anything more in life than exist. The sound of someone believing in you shouldn't be something new to your ears. It should be something you hear on a regular basis that keeps you going throughout the day. It's hard to believe that I could ever accomplish anything after failure seemed to be imprinted on my forehead.-PJ Eagle sees me as someone who's there for her when she needs advice about a boy. She doesn't see me as the boy she needs advice about. I've watched her go through everything. Her first boyfriend, her first breakup, her first kiss, her first high school party, and everything in between. I didn't mind watching her go through everything but I wanted to be something to her. I wanted to be more than her best friend. If I'm being honest I wanted to date her but I knew it'd never happen. -Blair WARNING: This book mentions triggering topics such as assault, abuse, depression, and other similar topics. If you are sensitive to the mention of these topics this story may not be for you.Complete![Levels [boyxboy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/125205811-256-k798478.jpg)

They Met on the Night Train (bxb)
Ben never expected to cry with a stranger on a late-night train, but heartbreak does strange things to people. The next morning, he wakes up beside someone who seems like the last person he'd ever click with - the "straight" football player. Reeling from the fallout of a toxic relationship, Ben is struggling to find his footing-and his voice. As he dives into preparing for the provincial art competition, he's forced to confront the emotions he's spent years burying. Between navigating his ex's shadow and creating a piece that truly reflects who he is, Ben begins to realize that art is about more than just perfection-it's about honesty. And then there's the new guy. His unexpected partner in art, whose easy laughter and unfiltered energy challenge Ben in ways he never imagined. As their worlds collide on the canvas and off, Ben has to decide if he's ready to risk opening his heart again-for himself, and maybe for someone new. Honest, tender, and brimming with hope, this is a story about finding your own colours in a world that's too often black and white.Complete
