I’d never been close enough to him before to really see him.
“Hey, aren’t you Maura?”
*Huh?* How did he know who the heck a nobody junior like me was? Or did my freak status make me far more noticeable than I realized. I started to feel sick to my stomach. I realized I was staring at him dumbfounded, mouth hanging open.
“How do you know my name?” I asked weakly.
He actually blushed and brought a hand up to nervously brush the soft wisps out of his eyes. “Oh, I’ve just seen you around. You really made a mess of me didn’t you?” He laughed and it was the warmest sound.
I opened my mouth wider, horrified. “I wasn’t watching where I was going. I’m really sorry about your shirt!”
He put his hand on my shoulder, “Don’t worry, it’s just a shirt. No harm, no foul. I can just get my t-shirt out of my gym locker and put it on.” He winked at me then. “I’ll forgive you, but only if you promise not to give it another thought, okay?”
“Okay,” I promised. His smile and that light in his earthy eyes were leaving me completely shell-shocked.
Much to my surprise, he turned his head to look at Wendy, who was still barking loudly with amusement. He rolled his eyes and picked up the bit of brownie on my tray and quickly whipped it at her. The chocolate collided with her straight brunette hair, then fell to the floor in pieces. “I can’t stand that girl,” he muttered.
It was my turn to laugh. She looked so startled I really couldn’t help it. Wendy was now picking out crumbs and glaring at both of us. “Ronnie Stine, I swear I’ll get you back for this!”
He was obviously unconcerned by this, ignoring her threat and turning his back to her. He was just a few inches taller than me, but enough I had to glance up a bit to find those glorious eyes of his. He must have been about six feet to my five foot nine.

Maura's life just can't get any worse...or can it?
Isolated and sheltered by her lonely mother, Maura's never been the best at making friends. Unusually pale with a disease-like aversion to the sun, she seems to drive her classmates away, but why?
Even her own father deserted her, and her mother, before Maura was born. Bizarre physical changes her mother seems hell bent on ignoring, drive Maura to fear for her own life. And her luck just seems to get worse.
Life is about to become even more bewildering when her mother's abrupt...and unexplained...decision to move a country away sets off a chain of events that will change Maura forever. A cruel prank turned deadly, the discovery of love and friendship....and its loss, as well as a web of her own mother's lies, become obstacles in Maura's desperate search for a truth she was never prepared to uncover.
