Both of his parents are Christians who live according to God's teachings. It's why they have raised their son according to the ways of the bible.Carl however has a secret, one that is considered a sacrilege by his faith and the only person who knows about his secret is, Gavin Mileford, his arch nemesis and bully.

Or writing a whole poem about my dick. Tell me, do you have time for all that?" His questions prompted my eyes to bulge and the pace my heartbeats to escalate.
