A very good examination of the difficulties faced daily by our youth, difficulties with bullying, and coming to terms with self awareness and sexuallity. Dave has moved with his family to East Leyden, and despite doing this while a senior in high school, he moved willingly. He was glad to escape his old school and town after an indiscretion at his old school made him the subject of harassment and bullying. He's looking forward to a fresh start, then he encounters Ricky. Will he fall under Ricky's spell and have the cycle start over again or will he be strong enough to be true to his true self and help Ricky or will he retreat into hiding to fit in. A very good short read.

It was a nice story. It could have been longer, but because I don't see that happening, it needs a sequel!

Very short story. Not very deep or inventive. The author is completely out of touch with teenage jargon.
