Only Mostly Devastated

Ollie and Will were a summer fling; now they`re classmates. But only one of them is out...SIMON VS THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDA meets a modern-day, queer re-imagining of GREASE. It was the very last Wednesday of August when I realized Disney had been lying to me about Happily Ever Afters. Because, you see, I was four days into mine, and my prince was nowhere to be found. "Please don`t lose contact. I need to see you again," he`d said. So why was I here, banging my head against a metaphorical wall, weighing up the pros and cons of sending another message? This wasn`t a big deal. It was just a guy texting another guy. A guy who knew all my biggest secrets, and had Seen. Me. Naked (TM). A guy who`d convinced me he really, really liked me. A guy who`d better have been abducted by goddamn aliens... When Ollie meets Will over the summer break, he thinks he`s found his Happily Ever After. But once summer`s ended, Will stops texting him back, and Ollie finds himself short of his fairy-tale ending. A family emergency sees Ollie uprooted and enrolled at a new school across the country - Will`s school - and Ollie finds that the sweet, affectionate and comfortably queer guy he knew from summer isn`t the same one attending Collinswood High. This Will is a class clown, a basketball jock and, well, a bit of a jerk. Ollie isn`t going to pine after a guy who isn`t ready for a relationship. But as school life repeatedly throws them together, from music class to the lunch table, Ollie finds his resolve weakening. With the noisy drama of their friends as the backdrop - from ambitious Juliette and frosty Lara, to big-hearted Darnell and king-jock Matt - Ollie has a decision to make.
