Why Can't Life Be Like Pizza?

RV is a good kid starting his freshman year at the demanding Boston Latin School. Though his genes didnt give him a lot of good things they did give him a decent brain. So hes doing his best to keep up in high school despite all the additional pressures hes facing: His immigrant parents who dont want him to forget his roots and insist on other rules. Some tough kids at school who bully teachers as well as students. His puny muscles. His mean gym teacher. The Guy Upstairs who doesnt answer his prayers. And the most confusing fact of all-that he might be gay.Luckily RV develops a friendship with Mr. Aniso his Latin teacher who is gay and always there to talk to. RV thinks his problems are solved when he starts going out with Carole. But things only get more complicated when RV develops a crush on Bobby the football player in his class. And to RVs surprise Bobby admits he may have gay feelings too.
