"What did I want? I wanted to be someone else. Or I wanted to live in a world where I didn't have to want to be someone else."
***
Connor Hill lives a life of routine: He goes to school, hangs out with his friends, pretends to be straight, rinse and repeat. He lives a life of anonymity, hiding the fact that he's gay from everyone he knows.
But everything changes when he encounters the brooding, enigmatic soccer player, Josh Brooks. As the boys keep finding themselves crossing paths, it becomes more and more difficult to stay apart.
Connor begins to question if his philosophy of remaining anonymous is just as painful as coming out and allowing the world to see him as someone they might reject.
Secrets will be spilled. Will the truth strengthen the boys' bond? Or will their worlds be shattered?

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER!
