He's in the closet, has an unrequited secret crush on a fellow high school athlete, and an awful home life. It's a good thing he has his friend Billy to distract him and to show him that being out has its benefits. Billy is everything Jamie isn't: openly gay, wealthy enough to follow fashion trends, and with a social calendar full of dates with older men.Then Jamie's life spins into a downward spiral. Billy starts acting weird and hiding things from him. His stepfather's abusive behavior escalates until Jamie dreads going home. His English teacher assigns him to tutor the object of his affection, gorgeous track star Dylan. Jamie's not even sure he can talk to Dylan, let alone tutor him, and it's impossible to talk to Billy about it. Billy's too wrapped up in a dangerous game called bug chasing: trying to catch HIV. Billy's risky behavior nearly shatters their friendship and forces Jamie to look at the world in a whole new way. Can Jamie keep Billy safe, stay on top of homework and a new boyfriend, and convince his mom to give his stepdad the heave-ho? 610 $aTeachers 610 $aFiction 610 $aFriendship 610 $aFathers and sons 700 $aChase$b Dakota$01245026 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157554803321 996 $aChanging Jamie$93596376 997 $aUNINA
