● PLEASE IGNORE FOR TIME BEING. Under intense reconstructing ●
Floyd Taylor is a teenager who's in love. It's cliché that he's in love with a boy, it's cliché that he's in high school, and in love with a boy, and it's cliché that this boy he's in love with is such a saint. However thinking back, Floyd seems to remember the tiny detail that the boy he's in love with, however cliché it sounds, is in fact the younger brother of the douche that takes pleasure in teasing him. He may be small, but Floyd has a wish so big that it could fill the entire universe; so big that it never ends. He wishes that someday Leigh will walk up to him and romantically drop down on one knee, asking him if he'll be willing to share his gummy bears with him for the rest of their natural lives - his heart too of course. It sounds pretty bizarre to those that can't see the future, but Floyd can, well, he like to think so. And as cliché and bizarre as it comes across, Floyd may just get his wish, albeit a little less cheesy. His father has just announced that both his bully and his babe will be coming to stay with them for the next two weeks. Surely, something's got to happen.
