Ricky

For Dave Felder, his junior year of high school starts with a move from his small hometown to a larger city. With the new home comes a new school, East Leyden High. He isn't the least bit reluctant to leave his old school. Once popular and well-liked, things changed when he was outed to his fellow students. A new school gives him a fresh start, where no one knows him or his secret. Tall, handsome, and athletic, he soon finds himself surrounded by new friends, the popularity he once lost regained. But he doesn't count on meeting someone who brings out the feelings he hoped to keep buried inside. Someone like Ricky. Once these feelings surface, Dave has to make a choice -- continue to hide who he really is and protect his popularity, or be true to himself.

They went on to pick out the rest of Dave’s audition pieces. For his popular selection he decided on an oldie by Buddy Holly, “It’s So Easy to Fall in Love.” For his standard, he decided on “I’ve Got to Be Me.”

They practiced these and then set up a few more meetings to prepare for the audition.

As Mr. Lee packed up to leave Dave said, “Thank you so much for all you’re doing for me. I really appreciate it.”

“Nothing at all, my boy. I’ll check my schedule to make sure I can be at your audition to play for you.”

“That’d be super.”

The day of the audition soon arrived. Dave had been given a pass from the office that let him out of biology, which he usually had at that time.

Mr. Lee was waiting just outside the door to the choir room. Seeing him there gave Dave a surge of confidence.

“Hello,” Mr. Lee said cheerily. “Are you ready for this?”

“Yeah, I think so,” Dave said, taking a deep breath.
