Annie Halden was the exact definition of a wallflower. She lived on the sidelines, didn't like attention and worried too much. 

She wrote letters to herself as her way to get her thoughts out. She never told anyone or let anyone see. 

Leo Smith, one of the school star athletes and most popular boys, found one of her letters. He started breaking into her locker to read the letters every time there was a new one. 

He grew concerned about her and wanted to protect her, he wanted to know why she was so broken and who hurt her, he wanted her to know he was there for her - be her shoulder to lean on. 

How would this friendship work out with Annie being as shy and quiet as she is, never getting close to anyone? How would this friendship last if Annie came to find out the truth about Leo stealing and reading her personal letters?

Letters

I'm honestly a little confused as to why Leo has been talking to me. Maybe it was just because I was there so it would be rude to ignore me.

Then again, he didn't have to come sit on the bleachers with me.

It's odd because we're from two different worlds.

Maybe it's not as big as I'm making it out to be.

Leo sighed as he read the letter. He just wanted her to feel comfortable around him so he could be her shoulder to lean onto but every time he spoke to her, he was starting to realize that she would only get more conflicted.

Annie wasn't someone who had a lot of friends. She kept to herself and tried to hide away in the shadows so now that one of the school's popular boys was starting to notice her, she didn't know how to feel.
