End of the Beginning

In book 2 of this series the narration switches to the jock, Brad. If you've been reading so far you're aware that Brad outed both himself and Kyle in rather dramatic fashion at the end of book 1 before the entire school. Kyle has suddenly ceased to be invisible and Brad has abdicated his position as the golden boy.

Brad talks about the sports experience in the locker room, on the field, and in the dugout in rather homoerotic terms, though of course most jocks would staunchly deny having any gay tendencies. Book two is full of introspection which tends to slow the pace down considerably. What becomes apparent is the fact that even in one's darkest hour help may come from the most unlikely of sources.

The action takes place over the course of a Friday and the weekend following.
