Don't Turn the Page

I was a bookworm, although most people just called me shy. Honestly, it's not that I was afraid of people, I just enjoyed the characters of books more than the living ones. There was always far too much drama in the world. Thankfully, the crowds tend to ignore 'shy' kids, so I could get away and read my books in peace.

I was always eager to finish a book, racing through it without really learning anything. It was just another distraction from life. When I met him, everything changed. They always said you can't let someone else change you, but he opened my eyes. He made me slow down and appreciate each story for what it was. And eventually, he helped me rejoin the real world.
