Prologue

People deal with me, but they love Sarah Harper Cresley. She has something about her that draws people to her. Even me. My name is Reese Mordecai Nicolai. And I am unconditionally in love with Sarah Harper Cresley. My crush started two years and three months ago, on the first day of freshman year. All I saw of her at first was her light brown hair with blonde highlights tied into a bun. It was in an intricate braid that she had wrapped around. Those curls were enough to make my unbeating heart squeeze. And then she turned around, and I was a goner.

She has stunning light green eyes that remind me of mint, rosy cheeks, a cute button nose, full lips, and beautiful medium brown skin tone. Her lips were painted dark red. I think my mouth opened and my eyes widened. She gave me a strange look and went on her way.

Most people give me a strange look. With my yellow eyes, black hair in a goth cut, pale skin, and large beak-like nose, I make for an odd-looking guy. What chance do I have compared with Caden Cartwright, gorgeous captain of the football team, or Michael Nales, blond-haired and blue-eyed? Even if I gave myself a makeover, that would not be enough.

I've tried many times to get over her. When I learned that I'm bisexual, I tried dating a guy. I only broke Evan Byrd's heart after we got into a nasty fight and our relationship ended. I considered him my boyfriend until then. And besides all that, he found out about my crush. I felt horrible, but there was nothing I could do.

Chapter One- Party All Night

It was a Friday night when I was laying on my bed, hands laced over my stomach, thinking about Sarah. I started fingering the zipper on my black jacket, when my cell phone rang, blaring "Through It All" by From Ashes To New. It was my ringtone for my best and only human friend in school, Ariella Spears, who, with her long brown hair and beautiful stormy gray eyes, is Miss Popular. I rolled over and answered it.
