To his peers, Liam Kingsley has it all-girls, good looks, loving parents, and a best friend that'll fight for him until the death.
Little does the school know that Liam's faking it. Faking it all.
Fearing the loss of everything he's worked so hard to achieve, Liam forces himself to constantly keep up the act of a charming young bachelor. But when Liam becomes friends with the mysterious Connor Hawkins, a dreamy eyed misfit, he begins to lose all the control he's worked so hard to maintain for seventeen long years.
Eventually, Liam realizes he knows very little about the mysteriously quiet boy, despite all the years they have attended school together.
Connor breathes new life into Liam, and soon Liam discovers that when love, lies, and lust intertwine they can have consequences. Consequences he's not quite sure he's ready for just yet.

If you're not okay with that then I suggest you leave. Fair warning, this story is really poorly written. It's filled with plot holes, grammar errors, and everything else under the sun that makes a bad story. It pains me to reread it but it's like my own writing history so I don't want to take it down. It was written when I was 12, if that says anything, so keep that in mind before you read it!Complete
