Two boys from different worlds collide in the halls of high school. Julián Rivera is a Cuban African American teen with a big heart, a voice like honey, and a deep love for his heritage. He's a little nerdy, impossibly stylish, and wrapped in the protective love of six siblings and an overbearing family. But that love can't always shield him from the racism he faces - at school, in public, and even in subtle ways from those who claim to care.
Then there's Hunter Sullivan - the golden boy. White, rich, and a jock, with a body built like Tom Welling in Smallville. He's got it all - except the courage to be fully himself in public. Being gay is something he keeps behind closed doors, and navigating his privilege becomes a challenge when he starts falling for someone whose life experience is worlds apart from his own.
When Hunter and Julián's paths cross, it's not all sparks - it's friction. But as they're pulled closer by fate, music, and moments of unexpected understanding, they'll have to decide: will they let the world tear them apart, or will they rise above the weight of gravity - and find grace in each other?
This is a story about identity, love, family, the pain of racism, the courage of coming out, and the beautiful mess of first love.

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER!
