"Lalu aku melihat Juli. Dia dua meja jauhnya dariku, menghadap ke arahku. Hanya saja dia tidak menatapku. Dia menatap Jon, matanya bersinar dan tertawa. Jantungku berdegup kencang. Apa yang dia tertawakan? Apa yang mereka bicarakan? Bagaimana dia bisa duduk di sana dan terlihat sangat ... cantik? Saya merasa diri saya lepas kendali. Itu aneh. Seolah aku bahkan tidak bisa mengarahkan tubuhku sendiri. Saya selalu berpikir Jon sangat keren, tetapi saat itu saya ingin pergi dan melemparkannya ke seberang ruangan."

Then I saw Juli. She was two tables away from me, facing my direction. Only she wasn't looking at me. She was looking at Jon, her eyes all sparkly and laughing. My heart lurched. What was she laughing about? What were they talking about? How could she sit there and look so... beautiful? I felt myself spinning out of control. It was weird. Like I couldn't even steer my own body. I'd always thought Jon was pretty cool, but right then I wanted to go over and throw him across the room.
