Julie is a blind girl who is constantly bullied by the girls at her school, Cynthia and Hannah. They trip her in the hallways, call her names, and tell her that she’ll never be able to find anyone to love her because of her blindness. Julie thinks about this all the time and starts to have nightmares about it. One day, after being tripped in the hallway, she meets a boy named Matt who helps her pick up her books. She starts to like Matt and talks more and more to him. Matt turns out to be the boyfriend of the mean girl at school Cynthia. Julie is devastated, and decides to switch schools and go to Browning’s School for the Blind, which brings much happiness to Julie’s mother, Dana, who had been pressuring her to go there. Julie meets Headmaster Browning who tells Julie that Browning’s is a school for people that have nobody in their lives who can help them. She also meets Amanda, a young blind girl, who has a story of her own. Julie then realizes that Matt cares about her and when nobody else at Browning has the same privileges as her, she rushes back to her old school to find him, only to find out that he moved schools as well. Julie finds Matt at their special park and they both realize they cannot live without one another. Matt decides to take Julie to dinner, which is their first date as a couple. But on the way, they get into a car crash, where Matt is blinded by shards of glass.
