YA Sci-Fi with school setting, telepathy, male protagonist. Read around 2015–2018.

[Anne Louise]

I read this in the 2010s—probably 2015–2018. I think it was in a series. There was a male protagonist, and it was in the first person. He and the other teens in the book could read each other’s minds/see each other’s thoughts. I think he had a girl best friend and a dude best friend, with the dude best friend being described as having a thick accent. I think the cover was orange. Anyone have any idea what this book was?

Where was it set? What type of accent was 'thick'?

Anything on these lists look/sound familar?
