I woke up the next morning and I still had no idea what to say to John. I had to meet him at 3, and I was staying over for dinner, as his parents insisted. They really wouldn't take no for an answer, so I finally gave in and said yes. But John didn't sound so happy on the phone. I could hear him tell his parents, and he didn't sound very enthusiastic.

After my encounter with Rider last night, I was still a little love struck. I felt this vibe, and it was just... comforting. Like, just that person that everyone wants to always be around them. He was my safety blanket.

I know I just met him and all... but what would explain the sparks when I touched his hand? I feel like I've known him forever. Like, ever.

I was just about to fall back asleep when my loveable dog, Lucy, jumped eup on my bed, and walked up to me then started licking my face.

"Awww! Lucy! Doggie breath!" I giggled as her tongue went in my ear. She finally stopped and laid down next to me and snuggled up to me underneath the blanket.

"Julia! Breakfast!" my dad called from our downstairs kitchen.

My dad. Now there's a story. He and my mom met in Italy, when she was there with her other boyfriend. But my mom swears it was love at first sight. My dad says he got in a fight with the boyfriend... and the boyfriend won. But she felt so bad for my dad; she dumped her boyfriend and went to my dad's hotel. Then I came. I was technically born in Italy because I was born on the plane on the way to the USA. Gross, I know, but the hospital said I was a legal citizen of the US. I guess we were far enough across the line in the middle of the ocean.

I ran down stairs, with Lucy galloping right behind me. I got down to the kitchen, and weaved my way through our TV room, our living room, and the library, until I got to the kitchen. When I stepped in, the wafting smell of bacon over took me.

"Mmm, Dad, that smells really good. What are you making?" I asked. Hmm I wonder what it'll be, my dad, the cook, is always experimenting with new foods.

"I mixed bacon, Swiss cheese, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, ham, and eggs." He said, giving me a huge serving of the mix. I have to say, it wasn't that bad. After I sat down at our island table, my dad served himself some eggs with the works, and left some for my mom. I doubt she'll eat it, figuring she's a vegetarian.

"Dad, you don't expect Mom to eat this, right? She'll just give it to Lucy." I said, while shoveling the eggs into my mouth. It really was good.

"I made a special batch for her, with vegetarian bacon and ham. Trust me, it better than it sounds." He said, making some toast.

"Shoot," I half screamed, not wanting to cuss in front of my Dad. "I have to get ready for school!" I ran up the stairs, which my mom was walking down. On my way by her she gave me a hug.

I jumped in my shower, got out, brushed out my hair and applied the little make-up I put on. I usually just put on mascara, eyeliner and blush, but I heard there was a cute new guy that just moved here over the weekend, so I put a little extra on. I wonder who he is.

I put on my favorite jeans, black jeans with zippers going half way up my calf, and my favorite Linkin Park t-shirt. I slipped on my black converse, and grabbed my backpack. I ran down to the garage where I had all my cars. Ok, yes I have multiple cars, a dark purple Ferrari, a yellow Audi, and a blue BMW. I took my baby, the Ferrari. I just got it half way through the summer, and school was just getting back in, so no one had even seen it yet. I sped towards school, not wanting to be late on the first day. I got to the gate with 5 minutes to spare. I pulled in, and naturally, everyone stared.

But there was someone there I wasn't expecting to see. Rider, with his mouth open, holding the front door open as if he were about to go in when I pulled in. I got out and locked the doors, and as I walked passed him, I stopped.

"Close your mouth, before you start drooling." I closed his mouth, and walked in, with him following me like a lost puppy.
