Rim Shot — Skylar M. Cates

Can college roommates go from friends to lovers? 

Kyle: I'm confident that with hard work, my position as point guard can carry me from rural Indiana to the NBA. I also know I'm attracted to guys, but admitting it might disappoint my father, who is all I have in this world. I have big dreams, so I'll stay in the closet. As long as my life remains scandal-free, I have a shot. 

Micah: My large family can't spare the money to help with my education, but that won't stop me from studying medicine. I needed to get out of the house I was sharing with my ex before I went insane. Luckily, I heard about a guy looking for a roommate. Living with a straight jock won't be easy, but it's a chance I'm willing to take.
