A Closeted Affair - The Chance Encounters Series, #14

When Jeff's at a high school party, he hides in the coat closet to get away from a girl in his class, Macey, who has a major crush on him but he finds annoying.  To his surprise, in the darkness of the closet, he finds Mason, the hot popular jock who's hiding from his crush, Theresa, because he embarrassed himself in front of her earlier.  As they spend time in the closet while the party is going on they start getting to know each other. After that party, Jeff thinks he'll never speak to Mason again and everything will go back to normal. But when Mason sits down at Jeff and his friend's table in the cafeteria wanting to be friends, Jeff realizes something is changing. But nothing could ever happen between them.
I mean, they're both straight.  Right?
