After years of being bullied and ignored by his peers, when popular student Eli Feldman, tells off a gang of bullies composed of Eli’s boyfriend Rowan Rockwell, Lev Carpenter, and Colton Hartford, Sunny falls in an obsessive love over an oblivious Eli. To get closer to Eli, Sunny changes his classes to match his schedule. Eli, oblivious to Sunny’s utter infatuation, befriends him out of pity.

Dream Cast

Sunny thinks not with his brain but with his heart. From years of isolation when he met Eli he let his emotions overtake him, almost every choice from that point was rash and based purely on emotion
Eli Feldman – Chance Perdomo
Eli Feldman is the heartthrob of the school. Eli has very strong morals and will stand up for what he believes is right no matter who disagrees.
Rowan Rockwell – Ross Butler
Rowan to an outsider is stand offish, seemingly cold, calculated. To those close to him, though quiet, he is very protective, witty, and a bit of a smart ass.
Lev Carpenter – Luca Chikovani
Lev is loud and high energy, he can be best defined as rowdy and does not have a filter but he is loyal to a fault and will always back up his friends no matter the situation.
Colton Hartford – Jay Lee
Colton Hartford is another one of Rowan’s close friends but seemingly the opposite of Lev. He will say and do whatever is needed to keep himself afloat no matter who is affected by it.
