Quinn Evans is a high school cheerleader. He's 17 years old and openly gay. Has been on the cheer squad since freshman year and he's now in his senior year. Gets a lot of crap from others for being a 'male cheerleader.' James Marshall is Quinn's best friend since the 2nd grade. Also on the cheer squad, he's 17 years old and is straight. Doesn't receive any crap for being a 'male cheerleader.' Alex Blyth is captain of the football team. He finds it odd to have not one but two male cheerleaders. Quietly lusts after Quinn from afar. One incident puts Alex in the position to decide to help Quinn or let it go.
