Erin is a beautiful sixteen-year-old girl, who gets on with everybody. She is often labelled as the school’s ‘social butterfly’. However, is there more to Erin that meets the eye? Her desire to be a part of the school’s hierarchy is close to non-existent. She is tired of dissembling her true feelings and herself. But how will she breakout, on her own?
Lewis Connelly is the new kid in town. Lewis is Erin’s polar opposite. He is the 'silent-boy', that no one wants to be friends with. Lewis doesn't associate with anyone, in or out of school. Since his arrival, he has been the subject of school rumours and discussions. Lewis’ well publicised troubled past and his refusal to be put into a clique, only fuels the rumours at the rumour mill. He doesn’t acknowledge the hierarchy; this automatically appoints him the social pariah of the school.
Erin Rickman is intrigued by Lewis Connelly. She wants to know more about him, the person who speaks to nobody, but has the whole school talking about him. What's behind the walls Lewis has built? Will Erin find out? Can the school’s ‘social butterfly’, Erin Rickman, and the mysterious Lewis Connelly go against the status quo? Or are they forever labelled by society? How can two opposites come together? Or is there common ground?
This is a journey of two teenagers, who are searching for happiness and their place in this world. And, maybe a little love is to be found along the road. Join the journey of fire and ice, the journey of Erin and Lewis.

Cold and Charisma (BoyxBoy)
Riley Lachkov's life has only ever revolved around one thing-soccer. Raised in a family where emotions don't really exist, he's kept a cold front for as long as he can remember. 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. He's charismatic, effortlessly kind, and has a way of making anyone fall for him without trying. When Riley's family immigrates from Russia to the States, he struggles to adjust, forced to start over in a place that feels nothing like home. 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. What happens when Archer, Saint Arthur's golden boy, starts falling for the new transfer student who seems to hate everyone? Will Riley finally let him in-or keep pushing him away like he always has? #1 in #gay (12.19.2025) tropes: #grumpyxsunshine, #polaropposites, #slowburn, #temporaryunrequitedlove #popularnerdxlonelyathlete #chasingarc #groveling #redemptionarc All Rights Reserved to Asphericity
