Inspiration: J.D. Salinger's book Franny and Zooey

Character: Zooey

(Zooey falling in love for the first time is making my heart melt!)

_____

Her name was Margaret. Her friends called her Madge. All she had to do was smile or say 'hi' to him and he was a puddle. 

How did this happen?

Zooey was easily the most intelligent person in any given room. But when Margaret was concerned he lost it all. He either behaved as if a cat got his tongue or he blubbered on like a real phony. He hated himself for that. 

He'd leave set every night feeling lousy about how much of a phony he was in front of Margaret that day. 

He managed to say 'bye' tonight.
