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?

Leo ran a hand through his hair, frustrated. What the hell is she running from?

He had so many theories, so many questions he wish he could simply ask Annie but he knew that couldn't happen.

As guilty as he felt reading her personal thoughts, he was too far in to stop now. He felt like a fish caught on a hook he couldn't escape from.

/"What's going on with you?/" His best friend, Justin appeared by his locker, causing Leo to shove the letter away before he could notice it.

Leo gave him an odd look, /"What do you mean?/"

Justin gave Leo a bland look, /"Come on man, you've been so... weirdly quiet and distant the past little while.
