"Because you're you and I'm me, and we just don't fit."
-Robinne Lee

Skylar O'Hara believes that some people do not go well together, especially when it comes to jocks and nerds. Despite him being on the diving team with his godbrother Jorge Fernandez and their friends and families being well-acquainted with each other, Skylar wants nothing to do with Jorge and plans to keep his priorities in line with the goals and expectations set by his late grandfather: finish college, get a scholarship, and keep the family name clear from scandal. And even though he has been dreaming forbidden fantasies, Skylar knows that he couldn't afford any distractions whatsoever.

But Jorge has other plans in mind, as do his and Skylar's families as well as their social circles and even the school's matchmaking principal and vice-principal. Everyone knows that Skylar's been crushing on Jorge but has let his fears and grandfather's high expectations keep him from acting on it. So what happens when an end-of-summer house party leads to a drunken one-night stand? And what happens when a year-long senior project, family dinners, and other arranged events force Skylar to be by Jorge's side?

Skylar knows that Jorge wants him bad.
Jorge's not the type to give up, even if his godbrother wants him to forget him.

With the passions and romantic desires building between them, will Skylar's bias and jaded personality keep him and Jorge apart for good? Or can Jorge finally shatter Skylar's castle walls and teach him what it means to be on the edge of seventeen?

So, after looking back on Skylar's original story "Supers and Haute Couture (my ONC 2025 novella)" and noticing the inconsistencies and everything; I figured that it was time to retell this story in the way that it's mentioned: plenty of teenage angst, only one love interest, some smutty/steamy goodness, a villainess and her henchwomen, and so much more with the central theme of learning to step out of the comfort zone and finding love with the one person you knew for most of your life. And now, fine friends, I'm proud to announce that Skylar O'Hara and the others will be back in a way that you'll be familiar with yet wanting to be reintroduced in a new way. You'll laugh, cry, and be inspired to take chances and find love!

Now, I will have to warn you that some of these chapters will include BOYXBOY action that will not be suitable for certain readers. And yes, there will be steamy content!
