Billy Baer and Brian Miller have been best friends literally since birth. The two boys have developed an interest in girls, two in particular – Lilly and Amber Brubaker. This story follows the two best friends stumbling attempts to ask for a date, through their developing relationship with the twins, their consummation of that relationship and the nearly inevitable breakups. After all, middle school and high school romances rarely last long.

A mysterious vintage Leica begins delivering photographs Alex never took—intimate moments with a woman he hasn’t met. Each image pulls him deeper into the city’s shadows and toward Maya, a poet with secrets of her own.

This is the draft prior to final edit, which reduced it from 6,500 words to 1,700.
