Finn Acker takes his anger out on hitting baseballs. That might be why, senior year of high school, he finds himself captain of the team, with D1 offers on the rise. He's the school's "Golden boy." Known and loved by almost everyone in his small town in North Carolina. Well... almost everyone.
Scotty Landry has had it out for Finn ever since sophomore year, and Finn has no idea why. Scotty's first and only love has been music. He spends his time booking gigs for his band and smoking outside of a run down gas station, the complete opposite of Finn. The two, like oil and water, just don't mix. And that will never, ever change.
Until it does.

What I Wasn't Supposed to Feel
Story by honeyinki. Oliver Reyes thought he had his life figured out. He was the amazing staring quarterback, the teenage boy the Friday nights love, the one everyone counted on to win. At 5'6, he'd spent years proving that didn't matter, not when he knew how to dominate the fields and claim the crowd as his own fandom. Then comes the biggest game of the season, without a doubt his team wins-he wins. Everyone's cheering, his name echoing from the bleachers, his teammates lifting him up like he's an untouchable trophy-shining bright and proudly. It's everything he's ever wanted-what he dreamed of. But in the middle of it all, Oliver's glaze fixes on the crowd and....that's when everything changes. Because he sees him. A quiet boy, broad shoulders sitting in the bleachers next to Oliver's brother. Someone unfamiliar. Someone who shouldn't matter-but somehow does. Damon. And for a second, the noise fades. The crowd, the game, the moment-it all disappears. All Oliver can feel is his heart racing, but not from the win. From him. Because Damon isn't just some random guy in the stands. He's his brother's best friend. Someone he has never looked at. And whatever Oliver just felt? It's the kind of thing that could change everything. His reputation, his life, and most importantly himself.

Most people think they know him: a cocky, arrogant, rude jerk who couldn't care less about what anyone thinks. But there's a part of him no one's ever seen-and he intends to keep it that way. Archer Wilson has everything going for him. Top of his classes, most popular boy in school, and Saint Arthur's golden boy.

His closed-off attitude and tendency to act like a total douchebag don't help either-they just push people further away. But Archer doesn't back off. If anything, he's more intrigued by the new transfer student, determined to break down every wall Riley has spent his life building. He can't help but praise him for everything he does, and quickly realizes he's smitten the moment he meets him.

My One Regret (BoyxBoy)
"Remember this - don't fuck up my life more than you already have, pretty boy. You're gonna regret it."

With his parents firing half of the town's shop owners to make room for more chain restaurants and stores, the town of Redcliff is enraged at the Wrights' actions. Especially Blake Brooks, a popular and obnoxious jock, who just so happens to live next to the Wright mansion, and coincidentally, goes to the same school as Theo. When Blake finds out the news about his parents' unjustified unemployment, he's angry and provoked. And what better way to get back at the Wrights', than to find his way into their business secrets? But to achieve this, he first needs to find his way into Theo Wright's heart.
