Who would have though that the clumsiest person on the planet would fall in love with the most elegant?
Bobby Jones was what most would jokingly refer to as a clutz. If only they knew that that was an understatement.
Bobby's parents were always ones to be prepared, so on the day of her birth, they had everything typed up, except for the weight and time. So, it came to the expecting parents as a surprise when a beautiful baby girl was born. They thought about it for a brutally weird minute and decided to leave it. Bobby was a girls name. Right?
Her mom, Patricia, was a ballerina; one of the most graceful types people on the planet. She on the other hand was a mess, tripping over air and stubbing her toes on imaginary walls. Sometimes she figured that she was an alien implanted into her mother's womb as a joke gone wrong by her alien godparents. If only.
Bobby's dad may not have been a ballerina, but he was graceful. John, or "the Only Man allowed to ever be allowed to talk to my precious baby girl" as he liked to remind her, used to be a hockey player. Sometimes it looked as if he was skating on the wood floors her mother insisted upon being cleaned Cinderella-style.
Elias Commander Johnson was elegant, graceful, unseemly rich, slightly snobby and went to Bobby's school. To spoil the book, I will say that they do in fact bump in to one another (literally in Bobby's case), they also might happen to "like" each other, but if there is one thing high school is good for is messing up stuff . The question is what and how? For the destination may be the goal, the ride is the most fun.
The point of this story is to prove one simple thing. Opposites do, in fact, attract each other. **
