The title character is an "accelerated" 14-year-old who hangs out on the outskirts of his high school's social life, giving the excuse that he finds athletics and such to be superficial while being in [[denial]] about his social isolation. He shows new girl Maggie (16) a mansion and tell her that he lives in it, that he's "helping the gardener" with mowing the lawn. But actually he's desperate for a friend, and he doesn't realize that monopolizing Maggie is not a stable situation. | The title character is an "accelerated" 14-year-old who hangs out on the outskirts of his high school's social life, giving the excuse that he finds athletics and such to be superficial while being in [[denial]] about his social isolation.
