Summary

Sixteen-year-old Amber only wants two things: to become captain of her cheer squad and to stay in the closet. Well on her way to accomplishing the first, she keeps any potential outing at bay by fake-dating gay, also-closeted classmate Miguel Santiago. Newcomer Jack just wants to play football; Jack's excited about her appointment as Atherton High's newest quarterback, until the team realizes she's a girl and conspires to make her life miserable.

But as Amber and Jack grow closer, Amber must decide if maintaining the status quo is worth giving up the opportunity to be her authentic self
