PrefaceA Chapter by M. L. SmithThis is really sucky, but it sets the story up for what's coming up later.Preface Up until the
age of twelve, Stella Verderame had never imagined herself dating, falling in
love, or getting married. She didn’t see what the thrill was in it. The
fairytale ending that most girls her age longed for, she felt, was superfluous
and not easily achieved by most girls. Only the pretty ones, she felt, or the
ones with a lot of money to pay for a wedding would actually get married. Then when she was in the seventh
grade at the age of twelve, she was asked to the dance by a boy. It didn’t
really matter that he smelled a bit odd, had pants at least three sizes too
big, or even that he stood her up - for that moment, a boy had shown emotion for
her.
But she really started looking at boys when she was fifteen and met Hugo
