Vince

Loser. Outcast. Freak. At seventeen, the names no longer hurt Vince Sanford. He's different from other students at his school and always has been -- the pep rallies, school dances, name-brand clothes and football games and fifth quarter parties, none of that interested him. Not anymore. There was a time when he did fit in, when his best friend had been Eric Somers, the most popular boy in school. They lived around the block from each other and were inseparable. But something happened between them the summer before high school that tore their friendship apart, leaving Vince with an anger, a hatred, that he can't control. Now, a few years later, Eric wants back in his life again but Vince is afraid to give him a second chance.
