Tom K

I'm Tom, a 16-year-old guy who obviously knows what it's like for teenagers in the neighborhood. I go to a public school downtown, but it's not so bad, it's pretty good. Sometimes exchange students come over. A couple of days ago, a redhead came. I thought I wouldn't be interested, but I was wrong. After three days, she was crazy about me, totally smitten. But it was weird for someone like me. I'm not someone who falls in love, I'm someone who makes others fall in love. I don't do drugs or steal, I do smoke, but I feel like she doesn't notice me because of my friends. They're anything but a good influence. I didn't try to talk to her, and it's weird, because I'm embarrassed. I feel like I'm not enough. But somehow, I had to win her over...
