[woman's voice]
I have this reoccurring dream.
I'm a little
girl sitting with my mom,
and she's singing to me.
I feel the warmth
of the sun on my skin
and the comfort of her arms
around me.
[sighs] And I wanna stay there.
Forever.
When I wake up,
I miss the dream.
I want so badly
for this dream to be real,
but that would be impossible
because my mom died
when I was really little.
And I can't go out in the sun.
Like, at all.
I have a rare genetic condition
called Xeroderma Pigmentosum,
a severe sensitivity
to sunlight.
If the sun hits my skin,
I get skin cancer,
and I could die.
Pretty fun, right?
So, I spend all my time indoors
behind special windows,
hanging out with my dad
who is the best dad ever.
Thank goodness,
because growing up,
kids were, uh,
what you'd expect.
- [girl] No way.
- Yep, a vampire.
That's why they have
special windows.
Don't worry. She can't
get us during the day.
But at night,
stay far, far away.
[woman's voice] But not everyone
was afraid of me.
- Hey, Morgan.
- What's wrong with her?
Basically, the light from
the sun, it-it hurts her.
So she can't ever go
in the sun.
I can't be in the sun
for too long either.
Can she play at night?
- Yeah, but...
- See you tonight.
Oh, and I like pizza!
- [acoustic guitar playing]
- [woman's voice] From that point on,
it was me, Morgan and my dad.
Until one day, I saw Charlie.
And that was it.
I was completely,
totally, utterly hooked.
Stupid tree.
[woman's voice]
I saw him every day.
And yet,
he had no idea I even existed.
Over time,
watching Charlie go by
just became
a part of my routine.
Along with constant
doctor appointments.
Sleeping during the day
and staying up all night,
which, from what I've heard,
is the schedule
of most teenagers.
And playing music
every chance I get.
All things considered,
But I still hold onto my dreams.
Stupid tree.
[woman's voice] No matter
how impossible they may seem.
[woman]
Hey, we'll burn so bright
Making all the people
Come to life
Hey, the darkest sky
Can't stop me and you
Tonight
I said hey
We'll burn so bright
Dancing underneath
The city lights
Hey, from way up high
Shining down
Like stars tonight
[male announcer] Jeremy Pierce.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
Kendall Porter.
Congratulations.
[announcer] Peter Rathbard.
- Charles Reed.
- [man] Yeah, Charlie!
[cheering continues]
Congratulations, Charlie.
[man] Katie Price!
What are you wearing?
Oh, cap and gown. Huh?
The faculty and staff
always wear one.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
[chuckles]
Most importantly,
this is for you.
- Hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
I assume, as valedictorian,
you have a speech prepared. Yes?
Um, yes.
[clears throat]
That's me
putting on my glasses.
- I like that. Nice touch.
- Thank you.
Um, first, I would
like to thank my headmaster.
- Well, I mean...
- My Spanish teacher.
[speaking Spanish] De nada.
- My English teacher.
- It was my pleasure.
But I really wanna
state for the record
that my gym teacher had absolutely
no idea what he was doing...
What? Oh, you suck.
I lift weights.
Hey, this is for you.
This is one of the lamest things
I've ever seen.
Yes! [laughs]
I had to go to three stores
to find something this lame.
- I mean, it's horrific.
- Yeah! It's the worst.
Yeah. [chuckles]
All right.
Are you ready for your present?
- There's a present involved?
- Oh, there's a present, yes!
