"As You Walk On By" by Julian Winters follows the story of **Desmond**, a gay teen navigating the complexities of his senior year of high school. Amidst college applications and the pressure to fit in, Desmond finds solace in his friendships and his budding feelings for **Theo**, a popular classmate. Desmond's journey involves self-discovery, grappling with his identity, and the challenges of falling in love. As he learns to embrace who he is, he must also confront the fears of rejection and the importance of authenticity. The story beautifully captures the essence of youth, love, and the quest for acceptance. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
