His rugby coach expects him to fill the roles once played by his lost friend, Joey, as the rugby team's stand-off and new captain. And somehow he's stuck rooming with twelve-year-old freshman Sam Abernathy, a cooking whiz with extreme claustrophobia and a serious crush on Annie Altman--aka Ryan Dean's girlfriend, for now, anyway. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEqually distressing, Ryan Dean's doodles and drawings don't offer the relief they used to. He's convinced N.A.T.E.
