There are these few people in the world.
You meet them and it just clicks.
Suddenly you have this one person who supports you and gets into trouble with you.
For me this one special person was Lara Danes. A seventeen year old, who stood at five feet two and couldn't help but break the rules. Getting into trouble was nothing special for her. But there was something about her, it was just impossible to hold a grudge against her.
And then there was me, Julia Blake. Another seventeen year old girl, appearing to be your typical Miss goody two-shoes. But just like TNT and fire, when Lara and I met, we exploded. Not necessarily in a bad way, but let's just say... Maybe it wasn't the healthiest kind of match.
But since you only have one life to waste, it might as well have been the best thing that could've happened.
