   Summary

   If anyone asks, Alexander Claremont-Diaz is neither overwhelmed nor overextended, thanks. Rowing is fine. Working out is fine. Classes and homework and abject loneliness? Fine, fine, and fine. But that blond guy he keeps seeing around campus—the one he can’t get up the guts to talk to—that might be the most fine thing of all.

   If anyone were to ask Henry Wales, he’d say fine was a 4-letter word. But between his panic! at the student center and off-campus antics, he stumbles on an even more surprising one: Alex.
