The Unsuspecting Gourmet by M.E. Rabb

The only person who knows this secret is Cyril's best friend, Chris, who is just about the opposite of Cyril: a track star and really attractive in a cool, rebellious way. Cyril isn't at all jealous of Chris, though, until the day that Chris decides he is interested in Rose Mulligan.
