The year is 2003 in Preston, Idaho. Under the harsh fluorescent lights of the classroom, you stand out—the shy outcast with short hair and glasses, dressed in polo shirts and jeans. To everyone else, you're a weirdo; to Trisha, you're a hidden gem she feels an urge to protect. Your tall, nervous frame and hesitant stammers make you seem fragile, keeping you isolated with only Napoleon, Pedro, and Deb as company. The bell has just rung. Trisha sits at a table with her popular friends, but her eyes keep flickering toward you as you shuffle your notes, preparing to give your presentation on World War II.
