Target acquired. All sensors locked on Puckett. Preparing to engage. She was well aware how nerdy it sounded, but Wendy didn't think nerdiness was necessarily a problem. Shane managed to put every girl's panties in a twist, Wendy's included, and he was an incredible nerd when it came to technical stuff. Besides, even if nerdiness wasn't OK, it wasn't like anyone could read the redhead's thoughts. The only indication they received was a slight quiver of the lips, hinting at a suppressed smile – to decipher nerdiness from that would require abilities on par with Wendy's own.
She discovered her talent shortly after her seventh birthday. Or rather, that was when other people started noticing. Wendy herself had always considered it normal. The psychiatrist described it as "an extensive understanding of body language and inflections, combined with an amazing memory for personality traits, quotes and mannerisms". In simpler terms, Wendy was a mind reader and an empath to the highest extent that reality allowed. Add a large amount of curiosity and good social skills; suddenly one understands why Wendy always seemed to know everything about everyone.
The first time Wendy experienced love first-hand was with a boy: Alex Rose. The joke of A. Rose was quickly discovered by her classmates and exploited for weeks of bullying. Wendy, feeling sorry for the boy, was among the few who defended him, earning her his gratitude and affection. Eventually, this led both of them to their first kiss.
The second time was with a girl: Jess Harisson. To notice the other girl's feelings was a bit of a surprise to Wendy. An even bigger surprise was when she realised those feelings were mutual. Her parents were surprised to hear of their daughter's bisexuality, but they were fairly accepting. Whereas Alex gave Wendy her first kiss, Jess gave Wendy her first orgasm.
The third time was with another girl: Sam Puckett. Wendy had managed to keep her feelings hidden for a while, knowing that Sam didn't return her affection. However, she quickly realised that to love from a distance is even worse than not loving at all. With that in mind, Wendy decided to try and make Sam return her feelings. Target acquired.

A/N: Hurray, a new story. This one's narrated by Wendy, with Sam as the focal character. Why doesn't this chapter follow that format? Well, if a respected member of the literary community were to ask, it's because prologues don't necessarily follow the format of the rest of the story. Just between you and me, I simply had no idea how to do character exposition in that format.
On that note, please let me know what you think of my interpretation of Wendy. Or my approach of the Sandy ship. Or my writing. Or any other reason this story SUCKS. In short, please leave a review.
