"It's hard making friends when everybody thinks you were a freak. Well, I guess I am, a freak I mean."
"Well nobody's perfect. We are all just freaks living in a freaky world."
"We all are freaks."
This is the story of Dibble Benet. How his life is like without friends, and how his life is like in the future. He really is a freak I guess you could say, I mean who wouldn't call someone that acts weirdly, doesn't dye their hair different colors, and always talks to himself, weird? This is the future, where people DO dye their hair different colors, act strictly, and use technology 24/7. The thing is though, stuff is gonna get just a little bit more freaky with Dibble.
Luke has been in love with his best friend, Taylor, for too long now and it's getting difficult to be around him. He knows it's time to move on and find someone who can make him happy, but he feels like that will never happen, not with the way Taylor has his heart...
