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

Colin: srly guys! i’m scared outta my mind!


Liz: Listen to Shaun. Uv been doing this since we were kids.


The work desk had been giving him a bit of a headache, so Colin got up and moved away from it. Just a little break. That’s what he needed. He plopped down on his bed. Supine. Help the phone at arms’ length as he typed.


Colin: No it is. i love it it’s just uuuuugHhh!!11! i just suck


He sighed and grunted and glanced over at his almost finished work. There were only three pieces still here. The others, he’d already brought to the studio at school. A knot pulled in Colin’s stomach. Fear and excitement.


His phone went off again, two times in a row before he could pick it up to check it. Colin smiled when he saw two encouraging messages.


Liz: Yep. But you’ve sucked forever. Some things never change! We can drink on it;)
