  Summary

  Maurice and Roger are best friends. Roger doesn't make best friends very easily. Maurice, however, does and befriends Sam a little too well.

  Not only that, but they proceed to hang out everyday. The problem is, Roger is fatally in love with Maurice.

  That turns a supposedly normal sleepover into a love trap.

   

  Or: Roger likes herbology and commits crimes.
