[Edward swallows. This isn't a story he's shared before.]
So back in high school, when I was fifteen... Well. I'd switched schools a lot, already, and when I got to that one the rumors about me kind of started early. It... wasn't great. It made it kind of hard to really talk to anyone, you know?
But, um... There was this boy. Thomas, but insisted on being called Tommy... He wasn't scared off by the things people were saying about me. He thought it was really interesting, actually.
That's what he said, when he sought me out to talk about it.
