Okay, not the smartest kid at school or the best looking, but he could always hold his own. Until recently. Until he failed to notice that Lucinda (who, btw, is really hot) has been following him around for weeks. Or that a volleyball was coming straight for his face during gym. But can you blame him at a time like this? In case you havent heard, Kyles mom kicked his dad out of the house. Why? Because of a book. Kyles dads book. The one hes been writing and cant get published. Which means he cant make any money. Which means he cant support his family. So its the big D. Divorce.

So pay attention because hes going to need all the help he can get.
