Tenth-grader Kyle, addressed as "you" throughout, is always on the verge of flunking out. School becomes a bit more interesting with the arrival of Zack, kicked out of private school, who helps Kyle when the jocks decide he needs a lesson. This portrait of a high school hoodie captures the emotions, both torpid and turbulent, of adolescence in brief, charged paragraphs.
