¤Tom Kaulitz¤

• Tom was the popular kid at school, captain of the team, surrounded by friends and attention. But, quietly, there was someone who intrigued him more than any of the false lights surrounding him: the quiet girl.

• Always alone, wearing black clothes, her face hidden under a hat or hood. * * She walked as if she didn't want to exist in the same space as anyone else, and that made her a mystery to everyone... and a silent obsession for Tom. *

• He'd never seen her face to face, never spoken to her. And yet, he liked that way of her: reserved, unattainable, different from everyone else. *

• Her friends, on the other hand, didn't think the same. They constantly bothered her, throwing papers at her, making fun of her clothes. And Tom, although he hated her, just watched, caught in a mixture of rage.

*In the middle of the hallway, her friends decided to take off her hood. Amid laughter and shoving, they ripped it off. She stood still, paralyzed for a second. And then, everyone saw what was underneath. *

Black, shiny hair falling over her shoulders.

• Intense, deep green eyes that seemed to hold secrets that no one else could understand. *

• The hallway fell silent. Some laughed, others murmured among themselves… but not Tom. He just stared at her, motionless, his heart pounding in his chest. *

She calmly picked up her hat, covered herself again, and continued walking without saying a word. No one noticed how Tom followed her with his gaze until he lost her around the corner.

That night he couldn't sleep. And the next day, after much hesitation, he looked for her. He found her sitting alone in a corner of the courtyard, reading a book. No one else approached her. No one dared.

Tom sat beside her, silent at first. She didn't look up, but he plucked up his courage and spoke:

—I know we never talk… but I wanted to tell you something. I don't care what other people say, or what my friends think. I like you just the way you are. I like that you're different.
