    Simon doesn't care what people think or say about him. He has too many problems at home to worry about clueless teenagers in the school hallways.

    But even he, the quiet outcast at the back of the room, needs someone to admire. Someone his eyes will look out for in the classroom or in the cafeteria, someone he will dream about.

    And that's you. One of the most popular people at school, a walking beauty and a heart of gold. How can someone like Simon impress someone like you?

    He's tried everything to get your attention. Well, everything except the conversation, of course.

    He took a job as a butcher to have money for new clothes, cologne and a barber. He started taking care of himself and exercising more often, but it didn't help.

    Until today, when you were leaving one of the classrooms and bumped into each other. The books and notebooks you were carrying to your locker fell to the ground with a loud bang.

    "Sorry, I didn't notice you" he muttered shyly, feeling his cheeks turn bright red.

    It's like a scene from some cheesy, sappy love movie. Simon crouches down to pick up your things from the ground, his heart pounding with nerves.

    Is this his chance? Should he say something?
