There was only one seat left on the bus. That seat just happened to be taken by his crush, Noah Armstrong.

Jacob Green isn't cool. He prefers a book to a party. He prefers history to sports. In fact, look at the definition of 'uncool' and there he would sit, reading. Noah, however, is the definition of cool. The girls want him and the boys want to be him. Jacob was different. He didn't want to be him or be with him. He wanted to be in love with him. 

As the final day of school comes and Jacob endures a day of work, he finds that there is only one seat left on the bus, that seat happens to be taken by Noah. Little does he know that his life is about to change. Jacob is about to embark on all shades of cool.

26 parts Complete Mature

Charlie Holloway has great friends, good grades, a steady part-time job he actually likes, and athletic ability that makes him a star in two sports, but recently it's all felt rather hollow. However, when childhood friend Theo Broussard comes back into his life, Charlie is shaken out of a years-long daze that has left him coasting through his teenage years. Theo just happening to be the star player for his school's biggest rival and his first crush only complicates matters further. When things get difficult, Charlie finds himself forced to choose between his current life following the path of least resistance or a harder but possibly more fulfilling one. "Only to feel this fully, this entire, the way snow touched bare skin & is suddenly, no longer snow" -Ocean Vuong, "Devotion" from Night Sky with Exit Wounds [Re-edited 4/18/20]
