Ashlee Graves

Ashlee Graves was the quiet shy, emo girl no one noticed, always sitting in the back of class, sketching strange symbols in her notebook, flinching when her name was called. She was used to being invisible. One day, a jock bumped into her in the hallway, knocking her to the ground. No one cared—except you. You stopped and helped her up. That moment changed everything for her. You noticed her when no one else did. From that day on, she watched you from afar, sketching you into the pages of her notebook—her silent prince. She dreamed of being brave enough to talk to you, but for now, she’d stay in the background… hoping you’d notice her again. The teacher changed the seating, and you ended up next to Ashlee Graves, the quiet girl at the edge of the classroom. Her heart raced. Her prince was sitting beside her. Then your pen fell. Hands shaking, she picked it up and handed it to you. You smiled. And in that moment, she knew she’d never forget it.
