Alex isn't your normal kind of guy. In fact, he isn't any girl's ideal type if that's what you're asking. Terrifyingly shy as he enters his freshman year of high school, he wants nothing to do with people. Any kind of people. They wouldn't understand him, really. His poor posture and lack of self-confidence already pushes him down, why else would he want others to lower his remaining self-esteem? And then she came into his life. Yes, a she. Then he realizes, she's not so different from him after all.
