Sixteen-year-old Alex might as well have been invisible. No one noticed him - and he preferred it that way. Staying unseen meant no one could discover the cracks in his reality he worked so hard to hide. Kai Fields had a reputation to uphold. Popular, confident, and living for football, his future was mapped out and distraction-free - until a history assignment pairs him with the quiet boy he’d never really seen. What starts as reluctant teamwork slowly turns into something deeper. As Alex’s carefully built walls begin to slip, Kai finds his focus shifting from the field to the boy who was never meant to matter. Secrets grow heavier, feelings grow stronger, and both of them realise some connections can’t be ignored - no matter how hard they try.

Nathan- I’ve built my entire life around control. I do what’s expected of me, keep my head down, and avoid anything that might drag me off course. Which is why, when Coach gives me the task of keeping Logan Gray in check, it feels like a cruel joke. He’s too loud, parties too hard, takes nothing seriously, and has made an art out of getting under my skin. He doesn’t try to hide how much fun he has pushing my buttons by walking around shirtless, tossing out flirty comments, and refusing to give me any space. I tell myself I can handle him, that it doesn’t matter how many times I catch myself watching him when I shouldn’t. I’ve spent too long being careful to let someone like Logan Gray knock me off balance, but it becomes hard to remember that when he doesn’t play by the rules. I’ve avoided risk my entire life.
 But lately, I’m not sure I want to.     Logan- I’ve always been good at getting under people’s skin. It’s kind of a talent—one that Nathan Hayes is immune to. He’s disciplined to a fault, annoyingly focused, and has spent the last two years barely acknowledging my existence. But when Coach decides his son is the perfect guy to keep me in line, that all changes. Suddenly, he’s watching me. Paying attention. Frowning every time I push his buttons. And I push. Obviously. Because he’s straight, untouchable and completely unaffected. Or so I thought. Turns out, Nathan isn’t quite as immune as he pretends to be. One touch and one unexpected confession is all it takes until we’re sneaking around. I’ve never been one to turn down a little fun, and if my tightly-wound, rule-following roommate wants someone to help him figure things out? I’m more than willing to be of service. What can I say? I’m a very supportive teammate.
