"You coming out?" The phrase "Coming out" never meant anything to me until I reached the age of 14. I was an ordinary kid whilst I was growing up, I would eat, sleep and hang around with my friends. I was never alone as a child because my friends were always there for me. Always.

    I was never really popular at school as I was somehow classed as a nerd. My Mum always supported me no matter what. My best friend, Leo, has always known every secret of mine, but it's time I figure something out on my own. Without the fear of being judged I could spill my rainbow beans but I can't. And when I turned 13 I started having feelings towards a girl in my class. The feelings would be normal, if I wasn't a girl myself. I tried to ignore my feelings towards her but I couldn't, I shouldn't.

    My name is Skye Langham and this is the story about how I came out to my Mum, my friends and my whole school by accident. I can't tell what this will end like. So wish me good luck. This is a story of how it was like for me when I started "Coming out".

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home!

With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat.
