He never thought he'd get a chance.... When Griffin graduated high school, he was voted most likely to die a virgin and most likely to have a pen leak through his pocket protector. The only sport he played was chess, and the only club he was a member of was the Thursday Night Gaming Club he started at the local library. He hated high school, especially football, but he adored Kyrie. Kyrie had been an all-star football player for four years in high school. He could have slept with any girl he wanted. The only problem was he wasn't interested in girls. He was interested in boys. One boy in particular. He was interested in Griffin, the dorkiest kid in school and the kid who lived on the same street as him. Ten long years later, his high school crush is back in town and looking sexier than ever.... And this time, Kyrie’s not letting Griffin slip away again. This is a 23,000-word novella, previously published under the pen name Reese Winters (me, still me!). It's been updated and re-edited, but no significant changes.
