SANTINO is convinced that all he has for Marie is a small crush. Nothing more. Besides, he can't fall for a girl like Marie. She's popular, beautiful, and wouldn't think twice about him. That is, until he can't stop looking for her in the halls, hearing her voice, imaging her laugh and thinking of her smile. Until finally he's smiling at the thought of her. He didn't want to fall in love, because all that leads to is heartbreak. But now he wants to hear her voice again and again...until he finds out that someone else also likes her. Someone he's pretty close to. MARIE wants to stay focused this year. She can't stomach the idea of falling for anyone anytime soon, especially when she's just gotten over her ex boyfriend, Raymond. At least, she's pretty sure she has. She makes sure to stay busy to stay far away from another relationship ever again, such as extra study sessions, dance, theatre and debate. She's confident she can successfully end this year without falling for anyone...
