............Great story, love the pace and characters. Poor Jake, not even realizing his true feelings until he met Shane. I am surprised the rumors about Shane have never floated back him though, it is after all High School. Looking forward to reading more, very well written.

.........Hummm, the goats plotting? Located in an area where cliffs are common. Eyeing the near vacant Governors mansion. I see a goats evilness unfolding.
Perhaps the real surprise is negated by the main character's realization that he has been set up. Rick is the clueless one, being knighted with gayness and an impending 'boyfriend' in one day in front of newly acquired friends.
...........I once remember while leaving my home a couple of "Mormon' kids strolled up and asked if my parents were home, seeing that I just got off the phone with mom, and was heading over to her place I said "Yeah, they are' I watched as they knocked on the door as I drove off.
