Full Summary: He was a senior and she was the youngest freshman. Something drew him to her, like a string was attached to his heart that took him to wherever she may be. Will he be able to break the age barrier between them or will he be whisked away to college before he gets the chance? All human. Edward/OC.

Preface

EPOV

A tiny cough penetrates the silence in my car and I look over to check if she's all right. Her forehead is pressed up against the cold, car window and her chin rest gently in the palm of one her tiny hands. Brown tendrils of hair cascades down her back, creating tiny little ringlets of chocolate. It looks as if she is just watching the evergreen trees race by, but from the steady sound of her ragged breathing, I know she is asleep. Her small lips are just barely parted, every once in a while forming silent words or groans in her sleep.

Everything about her seems too small; too fragile. She is a porcelain doll and with each little cough or sneeze it makes her seem more breakable. Her tiny hands, arms, feet, even her small ears give the impression that she could crumble into pieces with a single touch of my finger. She is a child to me, but she draws me in; she is the puppeteer and I am the puppet, even if she didn't know it yet.
