At least, Ryan tells himself that’s the reason he’s putting so much thought into the gift. Jamie deserves something good, though, after all the crap he has to put up with at school. Finding the perfect gift is gonna be tricky. He hopes Jamie will appreciate all the trouble he’s going to for this assignment. It’s a good thing no self-respecting boy would be caught dead in a craft store, because otherwise he’d be at risk of being spotted when his mom drags him to her weekly craft workshops. If word gets out that he has to make a handcrafted gift for flamboyant and openly gay Jamie, Ryan will be the laughing stock of the school. Ryan is assigned to Jamie Peterson for his class’s secret gift exchange. |
