I don’t think I’m alone in saying that I’ve always wanted a fairy-tale romance.

I read all these stories on FictionPress – stories where the badass hottie falls for the shy, quiet bookworm, or the school player falls for the cynic, or the cold but gorgeous rich guy falls for the shabby orphan everyone else overlooks…

And I wonder if that girl could be me.

I wonder if that could be me standing there frozen, my breath caught in my throat, my heart pounding against my chest, my hands shaking, my knees weak, completely and utterly swept off of my feet by the perfect guy and his perfect kisses and his perfect words. I wonder if that could be me who’s world was turned inside out and changed forever because a guy saw something in me I hadn’t seen myself. I wonder if that could be me living “happily ever after.”

It’s a beautiful idea. It really is. But that’s all it is – a daydream for romance-starved adolescent females yearning for their Prince Charming to magically appear out of nowhere.

Things like that, they don’t happen. Or they do…just not to me.

I don’t have unending supply of sarcastic wit the way Raleigh from Against All Odds does. I’m not gorgeous inside and out like Neely from All Along. And I’m definitely not rooming with a guy like Jessie from Life is Beautiful.

I’m a normal girl. I say stupid things without thinking. I do stupid things without thinking. I embarrass myself.

This story is for everyone out there like me. This story is for the die-hard romantics who will probably never find their Prince Charming. This story is for the girls who trip and fall flat on their face in front of the guy they like, and then – getting up and blushing like mad – wonder why all the girls in fictionpress never seemed to do anything as stupid as that. This story is for all the girls who are truly amazing inside and are just waiting to be discovered.

But most of all, this story is for the girls who’ve fallen and fallen again, beaten down by one crushed dream after another…and yet, miraculously, have never lost hope.
