Best friends Jack and Ben have very different lives. While Jack is popular, and, for the most part, happy, Ben is lonely and miserable. Though they are just in 8th grade, Ben is severely bullied. But Jack doesn't know any of this, for he is living in a different world than Ben. But being bullied isn't Ben's only problem, as he's also gay and in love with Jack. However, he is as sure that Jack is straight as Jack is that Ben is straight. But by the time they each discover the other's secret, will it be too late?
Sam and Fred are best friends, sharing laughs and messing about during science lessons they probably ought not to. With twelfth grade soon coming to an end, some secrets are revealed about Sam that could change their entire friendship. Will fate be on their side? Or will things take a turn for the worse?
Growing up is never easy and for Sam, it's even harder. Concealing a secret and an overwhelming crush on his best friend is no easy feat. To make matters worse, no matter how hard he tries, Sam cannot escape his past.
