-This is my first writing that I've ever tried to be serious about. If it gets enough positive reviews and/or good constructive criticism, I will write the second chapter. Thank you to all the people who read and proof-read and edited my story, especially the amazing Misha (not Collins), and everyone who put up with my insane nervousness about this posting. Thank you.
Any characters in this book that relate to anyone in real life is unintentional. Thank you, and please be kind!

He was standing there looking like a Greek god while I was sitting on my bed with a messy bun on my head and a tub of ice-cream, looking like a homeless person. I was staring at him as if he was the 8th wonder of the world. "Wait a minute, you are ...y-you.." "Yes, I am " This is not a prologue.
