jaime preciado lives a lonely life. his mom works a lot, his step dad is trouble, his friends are nonexistent and school offers him nothing but torture. vic fuentes lives his life content. he's got his brother and his dad, it's never hard for him to make friends and he has a fresh start. a new home and life to make his own again. on vic's first day of school his new english teacher assigns him a seat next to a particularly cute boy who happens to have a thing for tan skin and long hair. also boys. obviously. from then on their friendship blossomed and everything was falling into place. but there's always one piece of a puzzle that never seems to fit quite right. ((trigger warning: mentions of self harm, suicide attempt, SA)) but if you can make it through that i promise it will be worth it
