" I love them." "Holy...!" ... This is a story of boy meets girl. The boy, Tom Hansen, grew up believing that he'd never truly be happy until he met THE ONE.

"So you've a boyfriend?" "No. Who needs it? We're young. Might as well have fun while we can and..." "Wait... wait. What happens if you fall in love?" "You don't believe that, do you?" "What? It's love, it's not Santa Claus." "I think it's official. I'm in love with Summer. I love how she makes me feel." "Did you ever even have a boyfriend?" "Well, of course." "What happened? Why didn't they WORK OUT?" "What always happens. Life." You'll GET OVER her. I don't want to get over her. I want to get her back." "We've been like SID AND NANCY for months now." "We had some disagreements, but I hardly think I'm Sid Vicious." "No, I'm Sid!" "Oh! So I'm Nancy."
