Chapter 1
Vince Noir is in love. Properly, totally, completely in love.
He hates it.
He's Vince Noir, Rock 'N' Roll Star! He isn't supposed to fall in love! He's cool, he's popular. Cool, popular teenage boys aren't supposed to fall in love! They're supposed to have relationships, but not fall in love. Especially not the way Vince has.
Cool, popular teenage boys are not supposed to fall in love with their best friends. Their strange, jazzy, male best friends.
Howard Moon, on the other hand, is unquestionably, undoubtedly, not in love. Howard Moon, boy of action, does not fall in love, no sir. He is not in love. He is definitely not in love with his glittery glam rocker of a best friend.
Anyway, even if he is, there's no way Vince likes him as anything more than that. A friend. Vince Noir is cool. Vince Noir is popular. Vince Noir does not love Howard Moon, and Howard Moon most certainly did not love Vince Noir.
