It's the year 2000. Summer here in London is almost over. There are rumours the world is about to end, and yet my soft little universe is finally opening up, just getting started.

When I see him I fall through the ground. He's just a boy but I am lost in a starburst galaxy. A rip tide.

A hurricane. Sweet and delicious as crisp cherryade. I'm on fire.

I'm in love…with my best friend.
