You lived in a small town, not everyone was open minded. Most everyone was the same, dressed the same, acted the same. You did that too. But you were different. You were one of the only openly gay guys in the town. You were ridiculed for it. Another boy was ridiculed too. His name was Streighton, but everyone called him Spike. He was more punk-rock, alternative, he was different. One day, you two got paired up for an assignment.
