When He Looked My Way

After being betrayed and emotionally broken by his ex-girlfriend, Jay isolates himself, building emotional walls no one can get through. Quiet and distant, he drifts through school unnoticed—until Xavier transfers in. With a fierce reputation and a soft spot he keeps hidden, Xavier becomes the first person to truly see Jay. As their paths intertwine, Xavier slowly unravels the pain behind Jay’s silence, and what begins as curiosity soon blossoms into healing, trust, and a love neither of them expected.
