Pride High : Book 2 – Orange
Hey! I haven’t seen you around Pride High recently. Have you heard the latest gossip? Diego Gomez, the hot bully with the big muscles, has been overly protective of Ricky Nishikawa recently. I wouldn’t ask why if you value your life, but there are some definite vibes. Speaking of which, Anthony Cullen and Cameron Huxley are officially an item. A friend of mine saw them making out at the movie theater. They’re super gay for each other. I thought for sure that Anthony was more into his best bud Omar Jafari, who is still dating Silvia Diaz. She’s so private about her personal life that even I can’t get the scoop. I just know it has something to do with her parents. I guess we could ask her friend Mindy Beaumont, who spends more time reading romance novels than living them, although the new guy has been making eyes at her. Oddly enough, I’ve seen Keisha Hart looking at Silvia in the same way. Not that she seems to mind. Love is in the air here in Kansas, but so are the holidays, pressure from parents, drunken parties, old feuds, and way too many well-meaning lies. It’s going to be an interesting few months. If you hear any juicy details, be sure to tell me. I know how to keep a secret!
Jay Bell successfully mixes playful banter, memorable characters, and mature issues in the continuing Pride High series, as a group of queer teenagers try to figure out who they are and who they will love.
