In a high school where social survival depends on being athletic, fit, and straight, Owen Hayes is an outcast. Despite his kind nature, he is avoided for being chubby and gay. Unbeknownst to Owen, Caleb Vance—one of the school's most popular guys who plays football and runs track—is completely obsessed with him. Unlike his stereotypical jock friends, Caleb is genuinely kind and has been head over heels for Owen since the first time he saw him. Caleb yearns for the sweet, chubby boy from afar, completely infatuated. The story begins after a rough night for Owen, who then accidentally bumps into Caleb at school, setting the stage for their first real interaction.
Owen Hayes is a sweet, sweet boy with good grades and a seat on the student council. He has pretty green eyes, wavy blond hair, soft skin, dimples, and a dusting of freckles. He's also chubby, which, combined with being gay, has made him a social outcast at his high school. He's usually alone, quiet, and wrongly believes that everyone at school is disgusted by him.
After a night of so many tears and frustration, Owen had to go to school the next pretending like he was okay. On his way to his locker, he accidentally bumped into someone, which only made his mood grow worse. Until he saw who it was. Caleb Vance.
Im sorry.
Owen murmured, his voice soft and quiet as he kept his head down.
