Second Year and I Still Haven't Gotten a Boyfriend Second year was supposed to be my year. The year I'd finally stop being the girl who's always third-wheeling, watching everyone else fall in love while I stay painfully single. But high school has other plans. One rumor changes everything, throwing me into the middle of drama, unexpected friendships, annoying rivals, confusing crushes, and boys who suddenly won't leave me alone. Now I'm trying to survive classes, protect my heart, and figure out whether love is really worth all the chaos. Maybe getting a boyfriend isn't as easy as it looks. Or maybe the right story begins when you stop looking for one. A story about friendship, first love, heartbreak, drama, and surviving the craziest years of high school.

BEHIND THE pristine uniforms and perfect lies a brutal truth.

Adrian Bennett has always been just another student at Westbrook High. He's friendly, dependable, and known for helping everyone-whether it's organizing school events through the student council or staying after class to lend a hand. To most people, his life is ordinary. But Adrian is hiding one secret he's never had the courage to share: he's gay. Only his best friend, Franklin, knows the truth. Balancing school, friendships, and student council duties is already enough to keep him busy. Then there's Lucas Hart, the quiet and composed vice president of the student council. The two have worked together for years, yet they couldn't be more different. Adrian is easygoing and approachable, while Lucas keeps everyone at arm's length. When an innocent rumor begins spreading around school, Adrian and Lucas suddenly find themselves at the center of everyone's attention. What starts as a misunderstanding slowly turns into something neither of them expected. As the Spring Festival approaches, friendships are tested, secrets become harder to keep, and feelings that were once easy to ignore begin to change everything. In a school filled with laughter, gossip, awkward moments, and unforgettable memories, Adrian will discover that growing up isn't just about finding out who you want to be-it's also about finding the courage to let others see the real you.
