JULIUS’S POV

I shot the front door of the Parker’s residence. The family is really something, if you ask me. They’re great people, and very, very fun to be with. Although I have to admit, at one moment there when Mrs. Parker asked me how lame of an excuse maker Saab is, I really can’t side on her ever if what she said is true. I mean, if you were on my position and you saw the look on Saab’s face, you would’ve done the same thing too! I swear if looks could kill, I would be six feet under the ground by now. But seriously, no matter how scary that girl is, she’s the only girl I feel comfortable with.

 A goofy smile was plastered on my face as I walk out of their property and into ours. I left my car in front of their house because I’m too lazy to drive it and move it in front of ours. Besides, I’m still planning on going out for today and I’m taking Saab with me. After all, I’m the reason why she’s going to die in boredom in their house for today.

I was thinking of how much my life is different from the old one I had since I moved here. The boring life I used to have back when I still live at the old house turned to a fun one a month ago when we moved next door to the Parkers. My summer became even more fun when I met Saab. I know her from school of course; she’s very famous there with her brains, looks and friendly personality. But I really wasn’t that close to her. I’m a senior and she’s a junior and we rarely crossed paths. Besides, I was busy with my own life too. And I am currently dating someone.

I know that when you’re in a relationship, it shouldn’t affect the people around you. And the friends that you have or you wanna have. But I am a very different kind of guy in a relationship. For me, I want my time to be only on the girl I am with. When I’m with her, I want to assure her that she and only she will have my attention and that I am true to her. That no matter what happen, she’s mine and I’m hers. But of course I still spend some time with my friends, I’m not the clingy kind of boyfriend and she’s not the clingy type of girlfriend too. I guess trust really matters when you’re in a relationship because if you trust each other, you’re confident with one another.

I rarely agree with the commitment thing because I know that it’s a huge thing to get into. But when I do, it’s real. I never lie or pretend. If I love someone I go for it before it’s too late. That’s exactly what I did with Shannon three years ago. She was still in her grade 11th at that time, and I am a year older than her. But that didn’t stop me from asking her out. We dated for at least a few months and after school, we officially got together. And until now, we’re still standing tall.

Well, were still together but we’re kind of in the middle of… an argument, I think. Shannon and I never fought before. And that’s saying something. Normally when I’m in a relationship I like to be the one in control, but with Shannon… it’s different. She understands me truthfully and we are the same in a lot of things. She and I are really perfect according to her and my friends.

But just like what I said, a lot of things changed in my life when we moved here. And one of those things is my relationship with Shannon. Since the start of summer we became a little distant with each other. I still remember the last day of school a few months ago, when she asked for some time for her to be… alone.
