Numbering Our Stars

Chapter 1

So many of the kids I know are teenage clichés, like you might find in a book or movie. But I'm far from the average student. No parties, no pep rallies, no stereotypical 'popular or nerdy' categories will I be associated with. I'm more of a stay-hidden-and-unnoticed type of girl. Until I met Harry. He spun my life around and I can't imagine where I'd be without him. I'm about to tell you a story. Be prepared for the most typical romance saga you've ever heard. Well, not exactly. There may be a few twists and turns along the way. Maybe emotions you've never felt before, feelings you thought were impossible to have. Or, maybe you'll be mad at me for wasting your time nagging on and on about love and hope and other crap. Before I share my cheesy story with you, let me introduce myself. Hi, I'm Katherine Woods. I'm a teenage rebellion, and, very recently so, a teenage cliché. I'm an antisocial looser with the most bland personality ever. At least I used to be. If you think you can guess the plot—"well obviously the popular guy falls in love with the main character who no one likes and the popular girl gets pissed off"—then you, my friend, are wrong. I guess you'll just have to wait and see what really happens.
