Bryce and Juliannas Point of View

Juli Baker belives that one day she will kiss Bryce and that they will be together climbing the sycamore tree up on the hill. Ever since she saw Bryce, Juli has been in love with him. Unfortunately, Bryce has never felt the same. He thinks Juli Baker is a weird. "What kind of freak raises chickens and sits in trees for fun?" says Bryce. Then, in eighth grade, everything changes. Bryce begins to like Juli and her unusual interests. And Juli starts to think that maybe Bryce's blue eyes are as empty as the rest of Bryce seems to be. So in the end their lives get Flipped.
