Chasing Fields

Sixteen-year-old Alex might as well have been invisible. No one noticed him - and he preferred it that way. Staying unseen meant no one could discover the cracks in his reality he worked so hard to hide. Kai Fields had a reputation to uphold. Popular, confident, and living for football, his future was mapped out and distraction-free - until a history assignment pairs him with the quiet boy he’d never really seen. What starts as reluctant teamwork slowly turns into something deeper. As Alex’s carefully built walls begin to slip, Kai finds his focus shifting from the field to the boy who was never meant to matter. Secrets grow heavier, feelings grow stronger, and both of them realise some connections can’t be ignored - no matter how hard they try.
