Sixteen-year-old Nathaniel "Nate" Holloway has everything-a prestigious last name, a mansion in the best part of town, and a reputation as one of the top rugby players in the country. To the outside world, he's the perfect son in the perfect family. But behind closed doors, his father's relentless expectations and brutal discipline control his every move. Failure is not an option. Weakness is unforgivable. And love? That's a privilege he doesn't deserve.

At school, Nate moves within the elite social circle, his best friend-the golden boy everyone adores-shining in the spotlight while he plays the role expected of him. Quiet. Strong. Unshakable. But inside, he's drowning under the weight of his father's grip, convinced that this life, this pain, is normal.

Then he meets her.

She's nothing like the world he knows-carefree, defiant, and unafraid to challenge everything he's been raised to believe. With her, Nate starts to see life beyond the rigid walls of his father's control. But breaking free means risking everything-his status, his future, and the illusion of perfection his family has worked so hard to maintain.

And his father will never let that happen.

Trapped Under Perfect is a gripping coming-of-age story about breaking cycles, finding freedom, and the courage it takes to choose your own path-even when the whole world is watching.

Growing up in a toxic environment, sixteen-year-old Jay Foster has always had psychological problems, coupled with a quick temper. But one night something happens which finally pushes him over the edge, and as a result, he leaves his house the next morning with two things: his mother's gun and a plan. Living with a neglectful and drug addicted mother wasn't easy for Jay, and it definitely didn't help that his father abandoned the family while he was still a child. He harbored a hatred toward his parents, and that hatred extended to almost everyone and everything around him, producing a very troubled and damaged young kid. As Jay enters high school, he becomes very intrigued with one of his classmates. Kind of obsessed, actually. Her name: Mikayla Keeler. Mikayla is very unique, and like Jay, she doesn't seem to fit in with her contemporaries. Instead, the two of them keep each other company, and their friendship very quickly escalates into a romantic and intimate relationship. Despite having Mikayla, Jay's troubles continue to burden him. He and Mikayla are fighting habitually, his home life is still unbearable, and his time at school is hardly any better, made worse by a bully named Calvin. Their mutual dislike of one another leads to a lot of hostility, routinely leading to Jay being sent to his school's principal. One confrontation in particular goes much too far, resulting in Jay's expulsion from school. With everything seemingly piling up, Jay is very close to his breaking point, and late one night he is blindsided by the unthinkable, pushing him much too far and effectively planting in his mind a cruel and horrific plan for revenge.

14 parts Ongoing Mature
Romeo O'Brien has always known who he is. On the pitch, he's one of Tommen College's star rugby players-fierce, fast, and impossible to miss. Off the field, he's surrounded by a family that shows love like it's second nature. But even in that world of safety and strength, there's one truth he hasn't dared to speak aloud. Not yet. McKenzie Donahue is used to silence. Quiet by nature and more comfortable on the sidelines than in the spotlight, he plays hurling at BCS not because he loves it, but because it's expected of him. In his house, appearances matter, and anything outside the norm-especially who you love-isn't just unwelcome. It's dangerous. They meet by accident, thanks to a cousin who drags McKenzie to a Tommen rugby game. Romeo's energy is electric, his confidence magnetic-and for reasons McKenzie can't explain, he can't stop looking. And Romeo? He notices the quiet boy who doesn't quite fit in but sees everything. What begins as a few stolen conversations quickly deepens into something neither of them planned for. Friendship becomes a lifeline. And then... something more. But in a world where secrets are necessary for survival, falling in love isn't just risky-it could cost them everything. Torn between the safety of silence and the freedom of truth, Romeo and McKenzie must navigate growing feelings, complicated families, rival schools, and the harsh glare of expectation. One is ready to fight for love. The other isn't sure he's allowed to want it.
