When Mauricio joins a new college partway through his final year, all he wants to do is get the grades he needs and get out of there as quickly as possible. But when he's seated next to Raiden, someone who's nicer to him than anyone has ever been, he starts to develop new feelings he isn't willing to face.
Through his panic attacks and grades on the line, is it really a good idea to get involved, when he doesn't have anyone else to turn to if things should go wrong?

the perfect pair
When Isaac Tissera accidentally becomes the target of the most popular girl in school, escaping her attention without destroying his social life seems impossible. Until Nate Bedford offers him a solution: Pretend they're dating. Nate is confident, popular, frustratingly attractive, but worst of all, his older brother's best friend- meaning fake dating him should be a complete disaster. Instead, it works ridiculously well. As rumours spread through school and their fake relationship becomes more convincing by the day, Isaac finds himself caught between what everyone else believes and what he's trying very hard not to feel. But the closer he gets to Nate, the more obvious it becomes that maybe Nate has been keeping some things that Isaac should've known about... And when the truth finally comes out, it threatens to destroy both of them.
Now or Never
Thomas is in his last year of high school. He's captain of the basketball team, pre-emptively invited to all the parties this year, and about to finally ask out his crush, Mia. It's gonna be a great year. Bailey is his best friend. He's smart, studious and loyal. He's also on the basketball team and he knows Thomas better than anyone. Oh, and he's in love with Thomas. That ought to make things interesting. ~ "Not funny, Tom." "Very funny, Bails." He raises his eyebrows in amusement at the nickname. "Bails?" "Well what would you call you?" I ask defensively. "I don't know. Lee?" "Do you want me to call you Lee?" "Nah." "Then that wasn't a very helpful suggestion, was it?" "It doesn't have to be. I shouldn't have to come up with my own nickname." "Well how am I supposed to do it?!" "I came up with yours!" "It's literally the first syllable of my name. It's not that amazing." He shrugs nonchalantly. "I don't hear anyone else calling you Tom." "That's because..." Huh. I actually don't know why that is. I don't let anyone else call me Tom because I have some vague memory of my father calling me Tom, but somehow it's okay when Bailey does it. Because Bailey's nothing like him. He would never leave me. **This is a spin off of Since Forever but can be read as a stand-alone.Complete
