Oh, how silly. I guess I did read at least part of this thread seeing as how I already made a post.
Anyway, this was a completely charming story, and funny of course. Crotchal area? So cute, 'in a heffalump sort of way'. Great silly moments.
I loved the way Chad challenged Marc, both in subtle ways and in encouraging him to rewrite the English assignment. It was interesting to watch Marc's progression from the 'maybe gay' kid to the kid who could write that paper, even if he was sort of afraid to let anyone read it.
I was definitely caught off guard when Chad said he was going to a different high school. I was totally expecting him to come out at that point. What ended up happening was much more creative, and I shouldn't have expected less from you, Cole.
I had to imagine a kiss at the end though!
