Fifteen Minutes — A.M. Leibowitz

For fifteen-year-old AJ, life seems pretty good. He's a student at an excellent private school and has a promising future in art. He's just asked out the girl he's crushed on forever, his best friend of nine years. The most he has to worry about is keeping his little sister out of his business. That is, until new kid Connor shows up at school and threatens to shake everything AJ's built his world on. When Connor oversteps his boundaries, it forces AJ to confront what he's been hiding underneath the perfectly painted exterior.
