boy who has admired her from afar for a while. Just sixteen and still in high school,
Billy lacked the courage to talk to Paris before. But now that he has a chance to be
her hero, he digs deep to find his bravery.
For Billy, it is love at first sight. Paris may be slightly older, but Billy slightly is wiser; and he
