I'd never been much of a talker. I was the last to put my hand up in class, and the first to cower away when given an opportunity to socialize.
I was never an admirer of any kind of attention. I guess you could call that my 'disadvantage'. I couldn't possibly get very far in life if I just kept to myself, as my mother would put it. But these last couple of weeks; they've been everything to me. I had never realised how big of a problem my 'disadvantage' actually was. It kept me from being me, from living an ordinary life, and finally, from meeting Edward.

Edward Cullen, the quarter back of the football team, the guy all the school girls fantasized over. He was known as human perfection, well as far as a teenage boy can go, and if you wondering what he's got to do with anything, well, where else to start but at the very beginning?
