The Alliance
From the Series Surviving Southside
“One Down . . . You’re Next.” Or so said the note Carmen Mendoza found in her locker. Carmen is out, loud, and proud, so the threat doesn’t faze her . . . much. Jamie was Scott King’s best friend. Jamie was also gay. Scott never imagined Jamie would kill himself. If Carmen and Scott can figure out how to get along, they’ll be an unstoppable alliance.
