Description
Callista Ashley Brown. Sometimes known as: Callisto, Cal, Calli, Brown, Brownie, The Bear, Cally Baby, and California. Described as: quiet, shy, timid, smart, nice, and mature for only a thirteen year old. What she's really like: fun, loud, a little dumb, insecure, a little immature at times, and (...a starver - shh!) What she's waiting for: to fall in love. Callista's been waiting a little too long for her Prince Charming to arrive. So long she's beginning to think he really doesn't exist after all - or well, not for her, at least. So, she gives up. Years of endless bullying and family problems at home make it worse. With only one best friend - who's not always very loyal - to lean on, Callista decides to stop daydreaming about her fairy tale life once and for all and just focus on the real world from now on. Everything changes when a new boy, Eric, arrives in town. He takes an immediate liking to Callista, though she's not very sure what she thinks of him. Eric decides he wants to be friends with Callista and doesn't care what anyone thinks about that. Callista's a bit hesitant to that, but she soon agrees - even if it means having to rekindle with Eric's new best friend and her old crush, Dylan; even if it means breaking away from her best friend, Niya; and even if brings her back to her dream world of fairies and princesses. And especially if it makes her believe that she's finally and truly found The One for her. "Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you was beyond my control." ~ Teresa Conroy
