Nessa (short for Vanessa) was a pretty standard teenager. Friends, normal grades, extracurricular activities⊠And daydreaming.
Blaine is also your average teenager. He likes skateboarding out in the town, and playing games with his friends online every week.
She wanted to travel, after school. She dreamed of going to new places, discovering them and the ways people lived differently around the world.
He always likes the sensations he feels on his skateboard. Up in the air, then brutally back to earth. Rolling around fast, while being able to go anywhere, unlike a car or a bike.
She liked sci-fi, he likes dramatic movies with a hint of a passionate romance.
His ex made him feel the ups and downs, but this was too much for him.
She wanted to stand on her own two feet and become a responsible adult, but as a college freshman, she wasn't there yet.
He's still a senior in high school. Giving things like essays and application forms to colleges, searching for the best campus, already missing his friends who are going far away. He wants to stay here, but will he get accepted?
He's in the present, she's in the past. But that's about to change.
