And before long, it seems like Ethan wants to be more than friends.

He can't believe a guy this cool wants to be his friend. When Ethan gets Alek to cut school and go to a Rufus Wainwright concert in New York City's Central Park, Alek embarks on his first adventure outside the confines of his suburban New Jersey existence. He never could've predicted that he'd meet someone like Ethan.Įthan is everything Alek wishes he were: confident, free-spirited, and irreverent. Alek is sure this experience will be the perfect hellish end to his hellish freshmen year of high school. Why bother, when their home cooking is far superior to anything "these Americans" could come up with? Between bouts of interrogating the waitress and criticizing the menu, Alek's parents announce that he'll be attending summer school in order to bring up his grades.

Everyone knows that Armenians never eat out.

Alek Khederian should have guessed something was wrong when his parents took him to a restaurant.
