Colin Hunt, a vivacious and outspoken art student, is a comic-reading, anime-loving, all-around geek. What he lacks in size, he most definitely makes up for in personality. But things have been tough for him lately. A heavy workload. A showcase to prepare for his final. A sick mother to take care of. Ever the optimist, he's more interested in finding someone to have some fun with rather than finding anyone serious. For Dexter Erikson, life has been difficult ever since an accident left him in foster care and cost him part of his arm. After discovering music therapy, he found an outlet for his pain and the perfect way to express himself. Now, sporting tattoos and piercings, Dexter is the lead singer of a pretty kick-ass punk rock band and owns the stage like it's nobody's business. He’s also goofy and dorky, shy and bashful, with a bad habit of falling in love yet a horrible fear of commitment. So what happens when vivacious geek meets shy punk rocker? The first answer is a lot of sex. The second answer might bring both Colin and Dexter to places they never dreamed possible.

Rock and Roll Chose Me

The grin he gave him was accompanied by a wiggle of his eyebrows. Ducking his head down again, Dexter scratched the back of it and sighed.


“No. I mean…maybe. A little. Fuck.” Dexter grumbled a few more obscenities and then glared at Maddie who was already making friends with Liz. “I really hate her.”


“And don’t worry about it,” said Dante, who strolled on over with his hands in his pockets. “I heard about you today. I only got in a few hours ago and you should’ve seen this kid light up.” He reached out and pinched Colin’s cheek. “Kid in a candy store, I’m telling ya.”


Unlike Dexter, Colin didn’t get embarrassed at all. He just gave Dante a cheesy smile and shrugged at Dexter, like being happy about him was a simple fact.


“So, I hear you guys are pretty good,” Dante said.
