"More than a stunning debut. It is the announcement of a bold new literary voice"
—Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Where do I start. When you came to my school, I couldn’t take my eyes off of you. The new boy was the only I could ever think of. Another year went by, and you were still the only thing I could think of. You are shy, and I am shy. I always wanted to talk to you, but I was to scared that I would mess up and say something wrong. I never talked to you, but only looked at you. You were the reason I tried. The reason I tried to look good, the reason I tried in school, and the reason I tried my best at everything I did. The next year came, and you and my best friend were dating. It was devastating news. I loved both of you, but it felt like both of you left me. Everything has been drained out of me. I just want to let you know that I love you. Whatever happens, I hope that you will always be happy. Be with whoever you love, and I will be happy.
