When Worlds Collide

This is the story of two lovers that had to keep their love a secret from anyone and everyone.

Shawn had always had a secret he kept from everyone, even his own parents. He's gay. He can't tell anyone at school either, he goes to a very religious school. Everyone that goes there talks about how gays are "the spawn of the devil" and how "they shouldn't be allowed to live." He can't talk to his parents about switching schools, because they always know when he's lying somehow. He's classified as the "nerd" type at school: he's not in any spots, he's really smart, he always gets his homework done before it's due, and he's the first one done tests. You could also say he is the biggest target for the "jock" types to bully.

Erik was what most people would call a "classic" jock: he was the quarterback of the football team, he never got his homework in on time, he always disrupted class, and always picked nerds. He really liked to pick on Shawn for some reason. Shawn started to skip classes from the bullying that occurred every day.
