Jack is the dork in his class at school. He gets his head down and tends to stay out of other people's way - minds his own business, really. He gets teased because of his big nose, because he's tall and too skinny, wears the wrong clothes and doesn't fit in, and he isn't the most popular kid in the world.
Alex, however, Alex is the complete opposite. Mr. Popular, thinks very high of himself, he's a bit sarcastic and gets all the good grades without even trying. Everyone loves him, and he loves himself.
What will happen when Jack realises that he has the biggest crush ever on Alex? Two different worlds collide. They say opposites attract, but is that really the case?

And Tell Me You Love Me (Jalex)
Alex Gaskarth is a nobody. He's just one small speck that walks the world alone and barely makes it by. He's lived off of his parents ever since he graduated, but now that they've moved back to England and left him in Baltimore, he's barely able to pay to put food on the table. He doesn't have a job (and doesn't care to get one) so the only way that he's able to make money is playing guitar in the local park, but what happens one day when he's approached by a stranger who just so happens to also be a part of the richest family in Baltimore? Jack Barakat is a somebody. Being one of the four children of a wealthy industry owner, he pretty much has enough money to buy whatever he wants and more. He enjoys having money, but there's one problem... Eventually the money runs out and the fact that his father has an obsession with alcohol and his mother is addicted to cocaine isn't helping any. He thought he could have all the fun being rich, but he's at the point where he realizes that the money will eventually get to your head and he wants out of that life. That's when he stumbles across a man playing guitar in the park. That's when he realizes that he may get the chance to live "normally" for once. This is a story I am cowriting on mibba.
