The hand I can't hold

Will just moved to a new school. Just late enough in the year that people would notice him, just late enough so it would be awkward. Behind, he left Matt, without being able to fix the mess he made first, and he doesn't want to talk about that. Behind, he also left Peter, but he isn't allowed to talk about that. Here, he meets Lena and her purple hair, Austin and his baseball obsession, and Noah with his golden eyes and his three freckles. Here, he could be happy. But this is very confusing when he gets stuck between the joy of falling in love and the pain of knowing that the other boy won't ever let him hold his hand in public. Can you be a shameful little secret and still be happy?
