He's on track to play ball, marry his high school sweetheart, and get as far away from his abusive dad as possible--but that's if he can get into college with his shaky math grades...and if he can stop dreaming about having sex with guys. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKyle Meeks is definitely gay, but he's not planning on telling anyone, least of all his parents. All he wants is to keep his head down and get through high school without incident--until Jason asks him for help in math and all of a sudden, Kyle is spending long hours with a boy he's always found cute and it's getting harder and harder to keep his feelings under wraps. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNelson Glassman is out and loud about it, but being proud of who you are doesn't mean things don't get lonely.
