Bryces's POV.
Everything up to seventh grade was a blur. Juli baker was obsessed with me. I mean obsessed. I wasn't one of her "little crushes", I was the "future husband" to her. She would chase me and annoy me and flirt with me and sniff me... I did just say that. All I ever wanted was for Juli Baker to leave me alone.
That is until one day last year I hatched the most devious plan... I was going to ask out Shelly Stalls. I mean she's hot and she's got a hot bod but I never really had a crush on her. To understand the true greatness of this plan, you have to know Juli hates Shelly. So I asked her out and we went strong for about a week until my supposedly best friend Garret decided to take an interest on Shelly.
The next thing you I'm getting slapped in the face standing at my locker. I always knew Garret had a soft spot for that girl.
In that short week of dating Shelly Juli left me alone.It was absolutely great. But she started talking to Brandon, one of my good friends. Everywhere I would go I would see them talking and laughing about something. Everytime I see them, I got this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. I didn't know what it was and it had me guessing all day. I knew, I just knew that that feeling was NOT my getting jealous of Brandon. I would never get jealous of one of my best friends for talking to my nosy neighbor. Or would I?

Juli's POV.
Bryce Loski was gorgeous. I could never take my eyes off of him. Ever since he moved here I was in love for real. Time flies when your having fun I guess. It's now seventh grade and still to this day have the biggest crush on Bryce. He was so shy and so cute just so... irresistible.
I woke up to go to school one Monday last year and everything was just fine. Just fine until I see Bryce.. MY BRYCE.. walking in the halls holding hands with Shells Stalls, my mortal enemy. I never liked Shelly. She was always one of those stuck up full of themselves popular people. This made me hate her even more seeing her with my boy. I could take seeing him with her. I just couldn't.
I ate lunch in the library that day to escape seeing them together and I ran into one of Bryce's best friends, Brandon. We talked that whole entire lunch. He was different from all of his friends. He was so smart and knew how to act in front of girls and I found it charming.
The next couple days we hung out in school. We had almost every period together so that was perfect. I would be walking the halls with him, making fun of all the teacher or talking about the test in the last period when I would see Bryce ever so slightly glance over at us when we walked by.
The more and more I hung out with Brandon, the les and less I thought about Bryce. Brandon was very cute and was so funny. Every Time I would see him I got butterflies in the stomach. At this point, Bryce was just another face I would see in the hall, making eye contact every time we saw each other.
Could I be loosing feeling for my first true love Bryce Loski? And gaining feeling for his adorable best friend Brandon? I'm not sure what has gotten into me but I think I'm staring to like this weird feeling that has started to develop in the pit of my stomach.
