For Dave Felder, his junior year of high school starts with a move from his small hometown to a larger city. With the new home comes a new school, East Leyden High. He isn't the least bit reluctant to leave his old school. Once popular and well-liked, things changed when he was outed to his fellow students. A new school gives him a fresh start, where no one knows him or his secret. Tall, handsome, and athletic, he soon finds himself surrounded by new friends, the popularity he once lost regained. But he doesn't count on meeting someone who brings out the feelings he hoped to keep buried inside. Someone like Ricky. Once these feelings surface, Dave has to make a choice -- continue to hide who he really is and protect his popularity, or be true to himself.

After the horses were put away Wade walked up to Charlie. “How’s them family jewels a yours? Anything I kin do ta help ya out?” He winked. 


Charlie laughed. “I could probably think of something.” 


“Ya let me know then and I’ll see what I kin do fer ya,” Wade said with a smile. “Hey, are ya plannin’ on comin’ ta the bonfire tanight?”
