"There's Always One Special Kid"  peers beneath  the glossy surface of a privileged Catholic high school to expose the panic, lust, and bewildered hope simmering underneath. In this autobiographical story, the narrator returns to the years when desire first hit like a wrecking ball, raw, relentless, and aimed squarely at Jim, the beautiful boy who became an obsession long before the narrator would even name what he was feeling.

Caught between strict morality, raging hormones, and the terror of being found out, he navigates a maze of stolen glances, accidental touches, and a moment that could have changed everything... if he’d only dared to speak. Jim is a fantasy, a catalyst, and a warning, all wrapped in one enticing teenage body.

This isn’t a nostalgic coming-of-age tale. It’s a confession from the bloody trenches of adolescence, where shame and desire collide, fantasies become survival, and one boy can make an entire world tilt off its axis.
