• When a new kid, Bryce, moves in across the street, Juli is instantly smitten.
• In second, third, and fourth grade, Juli spends her time pining after Bryce and his super blue eyes.
• In fifth grade, Juli gets in a fight with Shelly Stalls after she tries to steal Bryce. Juli also discovers the incredible sycamore tree and saves Bryce's kite.
• Juli's fifth grade science fair project on hatching chickens is a huge hit—and as a bonus, her chickens stay alive and eventually start laying eggs.
• When sixth grade comes around, Juli helps Bryce cheat on his spelling test by whispering answers to him. She also starts giving him eggs that her hens have hatched. She does this for two years.
• In eighth grade, people come to tear down Juli's favorite sycamore tree so she protests by staying inside it.
• Soon after the sycamore tree comes down, her dog Champ dies.
• Then Juli catches Bryce throwing the eggs she gives his family out and gets really upset. It's a rough few weeks.
• After Bryce insults Juli's front yard, Juli talks to her parents about money. She learns that they rent their house and that her parents take care of her Uncle David, whom she's never met, so Juli decides to lend a hand and fix up the yard on her own. Chet helps her out.
• Juli visits her Uncle David for the first time ever, and soon after she hears Bryce teasing him in the library and decides never to speak to him again.
• The next day, at the Loski-Baker joint family dinner, Juli apologizes to Bryce for being so angry.
• When it's time for the Basket Boys event, Juli feels bad for Jon and bids on him. During their lunch together, a jealous Bryce confronts her and tries to kiss her—but Juli freaks out and backs away.
• Juli avoids Bryce for a while, while he does everything he can to try and talk to her. Eventually he gets her attention by planting a sycamore tree in her front yard.
• Now Juli is thinking that maybe it's time to get to know the real Bryce. Maybe he's not so bad after all.
