At first putting his studies on the backburner so that he can spend time with her, he suddenly becomes the top student in his class when it seems that not studying will upset Hanna and cause her to spend less time with him. He is not just in love with Hanna but obsessed with her and is quite cunning in the way he manages to create opportunities to see her without his parents' knowledge. He seems to be the instigator in their relationship and is almost immediately both the leader, and subordinate, simultaneously. Prior to meeting Hanna, he has had no sexual experiences at all, but is attracted to her in a way he does not comprehend. When Michael meets Hanna Schmidt, he is immediately drawn to her but does not understand why. There is no middle ground to these feelings. Sometimes he feels like an enormous failure who has no friends and is not at all pleasant to look at. Sometimes he feels incredibly confident, briilliant, charismatic and popular. When it begins, he is a fifteen year old boy, anxious to grow up, feeling the conflict internally that is felt by the majority of teen boys the world over. Michael is both the narrator and the central character in the novel. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
