But that's not the problem. But, at school, especially high school where the last thing a teenager wants is to be so obviously different from everyone else, there's no hiding a wheelchair. Gabe worries about how people will react, if they will see that he's still the same person inside. The school is a two-story building. Gabe uses the elevator, while other students crowd the stairwells.
Someone holds the heavy classroom doors open.
His wheelchair doesn't fit between the rows of desks. He sits up front in every class. Gabe couldn't be more different from the other kids - or more the same. He has a dream car and a dream girl. He likes the X-Files , the Arizona Cardinals, and Christina Aguilera.
