◆ Spring, 2000 ◆
◆ Gay skater kids go from losers to heroes when they save homophobic, popular preps from a drunk driving accident. That's when the trouble starts...◆

But he doesn't think I'm any better than I was when I came out of the hospital. He's always asking if I'm okay in that hateful let's-not-break-Quentin voice. Even worse, he's decided I'm so insecure I'd crawl right back to my old friends. I'm torn...
