"His smile lit up the immediate area and melted my insides. As he walked away towards his own car, I stood there, amazed at what had just happened. Then Jason turned around, once, and waved. As I lifted my hand in response, I felt my entire body melt into a puddle on the asphalt."
Piper Oakley didn't like Valentine's Day. She was never "popular", and wouldn't describe herself as pretty, funny, or social. A self-labeled nerd, Piper kept to her own group of nerd friends and felt as though romance was only something she could read about in her favorite books or observe around her, not to be a part of. But this Valentine's Day, things are about to change...
There was a boy that likes a girl. He always took notice of her even when she wasn't aware of his presence. With his nerdy appearance and his black-rimmed eyeglasses, he thought it was improbable that he could have a chance with her. He was just a nobody.
Always afraid of taking chances, fearing of stumbling in the midst of his words, and his confidence shrinking. Even the thought of her, he has the butterflies growing in his stomach. With just one look at her and he was already in trouble.
All he needed would just be that little push to overcome his shyness and taking a step forward.
