[ boy x boy ]
Ethan Ryder wasn't planning on moving to a new town just before starting his final year at high school. He wasn't planning on leaving his friends behind, only to have to make new ones. He wasn't planning on leaving his dad behind, either.
But after Ethan's mom caught her husband cheating, she ran off, taking nothing but her two children and a lorry full of furniture. And leaving nothing but the divorce papers. Ethan's family was struggling with money; leaving on such short notice it was hard for his mom to secure a job.
And with Ethan starting brand new at a new school, he had his own problems. Babysitting his little sister, dealing with a new, demanding friend, the threats of beginning at a new school, and a cute guy in his photography class that won't leave him alone.
