D E S C R I P T I O N Adrian Gonzalez knows the painful truth about liking someone you have no chance with---they never like you back and you're left heartbroken. Ever wonder why it's called a 'crush?'
But when the hopeless crush he has is on Parker Thompson---school hearthrob with an impeccable fashion sense---he can't help but wish things would turn out differently. He knows that staring at Parker from two seats behind in Biology is fine, and he knows that praying he doesn't get a boner when Parker jogs ahead of him in gym class is less fine---but neither are as satisfying as he wishes they were.
A class group chat is all it takes to intertwine Adrian and Parker's lives. And one impulsive, stupid, never-wish-I-typed-it reply is the turning point for Adrian's love story.
Especially when Parker ends up in his DM's with that text as his starting point.
D I S C L A I M E R This is a work of fiction. References to real people, events, establishments, locales and organizations are intended only to provide a sense of authenticity, and are used ficticiously. Any other names, characters, places and incidents are a product of the authors imagination, any resemblance, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
A U T H O R ' S N O T E The fourth ONC is underway and I'm so excited because this is the first year I'll be participating. I want to thank you for clicking on this book and giving it a chance!
The prompt I chose was prompt number 73, and it says "In a group chat, you reply to a message that was not aimed at you and yet inadvertently start something new with your crush."
Sincerely, Mysterious will feature my first nonbinary character and I'm so excited for all of you to meet him! (Yes, Parker uses he/him pronouns as well as they/them because he was socialised as "male" growing up and doesn't mind being referred to as so. Still, it doesn't invalidate Parker as nonbinary. Period)
You can follow me on my socials for updates on this and the rest of my books!
