Going through the sophomore hallway wasn’t really my preference at all, but I needed to avoid Sarah who was already trying to follow me. Knowing the most common place I would be in was near the vending machines by the lockers, I took a different direction to get past her. The next class I had was English Literature. Daniel and the others were on the other side of the school building so I wouldn’t be seeing any of them if I had decided to pass through the lower class hallways. I didn’t really know what else to be looking forward to the rest of the day, as it was coming to an end with two classes left.

I wanted to keep my head forward and keep walking straight, but I still couldn’t clutch my eyes away to not at least steal a glimpse of his face as I walked by. The thought of it alone was already tempting enough. A few feet away he was before our shoulders would come close to one another; I started to look at the floor to first see his brown Sperrys, his tall black socks pulled up, typical un-ironed cargo shorts, black cottoned hoodie embroidered with the Colorado State University logo, hands buried in his pockets, and lastly only to see the face of his looking directly at

And that I did.…

    I wish I could start this off by saying that I was wary of or excited about this book when I first picked it up off the shelf at my local library but I can’t. In fact I had no opinion of it at all. I had known it had existed for some time, having passed by it many times over the years, but I had never stopped to look and see what it was actually about. Now I wish I had. Upon reading the dust cover I immediately began to be sucked into the story the way you often are when finding an interesting read.…
