A dropped extracurricular, a C on a calc quiz, a non-Jewish shiksa girlfriend?one misstep, and his meticulously constructed life splinters and collapses. The countdown to HYP (Harvard, Yale, Princeton) has begun, and he will stay focused.That's why he has to keep it a secret. The pocketful of breath mints.

And he certainly can't tell Julianne, the "vision of hotness" he so desperately wants to love.Only Parker's little sister Danielle seems to notice that he's withering away.
