Prologue

            I know that you are probably wondering who I am and why you should even bother reading this book. However, I know that you are interested in what I have to say. The mere fact that you have opened the book to this page proves my point. The mere fact that you have either purchased this book or are reading it right now in the bookstore proves my point. But, enough about that and let's go on with what I want to tell you.

            I want to confess something—this you have already figured out, I am sure. But confess what? I want to reveal to you what exactly goes on in my world. The screaming, the pom-pom shaking and the hero worship is just the surface of my world—the world of a fan.

            But.

            Revealing my world to you is just part of what I want to do here. You see, this is a confession, and I intend to confess everything. I intend to give you every single juicy detail. I promise not to leave out anything—no matter how pleasant or nasty the details are. And, I intend to confess most of all, to someone very dear (who I am sure also picked up a copy of this book) exactly how I feel.

            Mushy no? Sorry about that.

            So, my loyal readers, and of course my dear super-rookie RK, care to join the ride?
