Seth was happy to get out of the house for a while that night to celebrate his best friend, Steven's, birthday and party with a bunch of his classmates. But he never once could have expected to find himself in the glorious presence of Adler Prince when he saw him at the party too. Surrounded by a bunch of other people who don't know about his attraction to other boys...all while being in the presence of the biggest crush that he's ever had up to this point in his young life...is going to be quite an interesting ride. That is...as long as Seth can find a way to hold it together long enough.

It had been years since they last spoke on equal playing fields. How would they react, or you: being locked in a room with your worse enemy, primary best friend. Though today, everything changes as two young boys struggle to find themselves amongst a bitter rivalry. Will they makeup and abandon their woes or will they further the confusion and mistaken mutual feelings for more bitterness. Who We Are is a story about finding yourself in the midst of confusion and mending old wounds.

This story stands alone, but most of the characters you may have previously met in the Appetites series, also known as Catering With Benefits. It is not necessary to have read the previous books but is recommended.
