Quincy Thoms is a dork who loves turtles, and likes poetry and reading. And he has a tiny little secret- He's also gay. And he likes the most popular guy in middle school...Verne Crescent. Verne is chill, relaxed, and popular. He can be a bit of a meanie. But he is straight. Or he thinks he is. But when he and Quincy come in contact, that all comes into question. They start hanging more. And they grow close as friends. Will they find true love? Or will they remain just friends for the rest of their middle school career?
