I lived the first 10 years of my life thinking I was normal - that I was human - but that image was shattered when the incident happened. Now, 6 years later, I just try to blend in and stay out of everybody's way while doing secret research on what happened to me. But apparently that research wasn't so secret. Some school for 'The Gifted' had noticed me and have now 'recruited' me. So now I'm being dragged away from what I never understood and being thrown into a world of things that can't possibly exist. I'm gonna need a lot more than just luck...

And Shane was just that — he was just another chameleon. Until a certain note from a certain someone threatened to change that. As Shane blindly chases love in the search for the girl of his dreams, will he ever meet this mysterious “piano player”? Or will he let his ignorance blind him from finding that something — or someone — who can possibly change the way he looks at the world? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- so this was my entry to the COMMON ROOM CONTEST by the Freshman15's. i didn't get in, sadly, but i'd still like to post this and have other people scrutinize it. not everyone's a critic, but that doesn't mean that no one can give good advice.

But aren't the cliche love stories the best kinds of love stories? I have this theory where if you want a cliche story, you have to become apart of the cliche. Become that cheerleader, become that nerd anything to get the guy. But here's my problem, I can't become that cliche because too much is riding on that line. To make it worse I'm the kicker on his football team. So to him I'm just "one of the guys"
