"It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's just some idiot in spandex." Arabella Jones is your average American teenage girl, she even lives in one if America's most prosperous cities, Empire City, California. She's a sucker for the performing arts and owns two bookcases full of young adult novels. Well maybe she's not so much like your average American teenager. Everything in Arabella's life seems to be finally going perfect, right up until the city's most famous superhero come barging through her widow at two in the morning on a school night. All she used to have to worry about was what part she was going to get in the musical and if the boy she's been crushing on since freshman year likes her back or not. But these worries are nothing compared to her newfound super stalkers. Now it seems that the city's only hope, and her's, is a teenage boy dressed in spandex who still hasn't learned not to wear his underwear on the outside of his clothes.

Hi. My name is Samantha McKnight and up until a few months ago I led a completely normal life. I had good grades and great friends. I never got in trouble. But that all changed the day that Ryder Machen came into my life. You see we got this assignment in one of our classes where we had to be partners and do things each other liked. Simple huh? No. He got me and all of my friends drunk one night. Not a good idea I know but I can’t change it now. Well, while I was drunk I made a list. A wish list. It had all of the things I ever wanted to do. Some of which I never knew I wanted to do. Well, Ryder got it into his head that he was gonna help me do all of the stuff on my list. Stupidly I agreed to let him to it. So he took me on numerous adventures to do all of it. He dragged his friends along and I dragged mine along. On the way we got….closer. It made for an interesting couple of months. If you want to know about it, then you should definitely read this.
