Sorry it took so long for me to update! I have SO much homework this year, and I also don't have time after school to write because I have 11 hours of dance every week. Hope you enjoy!

When I woke up the next day, I had an overwhelming amount of fear. Can you blame me? I was about to meet my father, who doesn't know I exist, for the first time. Wouldn't you be nervous?

Anyways, about an hour and a half later, I was fully refreshed and ready to go to Reefside.

"Are you sure you are okay that I'm going to meet my dad?" I asked my mother for the tenth time today.

She sighed and said, "Juli, for the last time, I am completely fine with you going to meet Tomm- er your father. That's why I told you about him. Now, go or else you won't get to Reefside until late."

"Thanks, mom." I said as she walked me to the door. When we got outside, she gave me a kiss on the cheek, then went back inside.

When I arrived in Reefside, it was after noon, and I hadn't had lunch yet. But where do I eat? I don't know this town.

"Excuse me," I said to a blond haired girl wearing almost all yellow clothing. " Sorry, I'm new in town, and I was wondering if you know a good place to have a quick lunch?" I asked her.

She smiled at me and said, "Yeah. Just a half a block down there is a great place called Haley's Cyberspace."

"Thanks." I said and started to walk away when the girl turned back around.

"Hey, welcome to Reefside. I'm Kira, by the way." She said.

"I'm Juliana. Thanks for the directions. Sorry, but I'm in a hurry. It was really nice to meet you. Maybe I'll see you around town."

"Yeah. Oh, if you want to, you can go to Haley's Cyberspace on Friday at around 6 to see me preform."

I smiled and said, "Thanks. I'll be sure to do that." And I headed to Haley's Cyberspace.

As soon as I stepped into the Cafe, it was like I was transported into another world. An AWESOME world. I wonder why we don't have a place like this in Seaport.

"Hi. How can I help you?" A red-haired woman said from behind the bar. She looked really friendly.

"Can I have a grilled chicken sandwich?" I asked after looking at the menu.

The woman nodded and asked if I wanted anything else.

"Can I have a strawberry smoothie?" I asked. That's mine and my mother's favorite smoothie (I heard that this was Kim's favorite smoothie, but I don't know if its true)

"Trent," The woman called, as a boy my age stepped out from the back room. "Can you get this girl a grilled chicken sandwich and a strawberry smoothie?"

"Sure Haley," The boy said as the woman - Haley - stepped into the back room. "Hi. I'm Trent." he said while chopping up some strawberries.

"Hi. I'm Juliana." I said.

"You're knew around here, aren't you?" Trent said, jokingly.

"What gave it away? The fact that I've never been here before, or that I look incredibly confused about where everything is in this town?" I asked while smirking.

"All of the above." He said and smiled. "Here's you're food. Do you need anything else?"

"No, I think I'm good. Thanks."

My the time I got back in my car, It was 1:45.

I got lost many times looking for my father's house. Why does he have to live out in the middle of nowhere? I swear I past the same tree stump 13 times before I figured out where I was going.

"This is it, Juli," I said to myself as I walked up to the door. "This is the moment you have been waiting for. Just tell him who you are. No big deal." Scratch that. HUGE deal! What am I going to do if he doesn't believe me? What if he doesn't like me? What if-?

Before I realized that I had reached the door, I knocked and waited. I considered running away, but what would that accomplish? I tried not to hyperventilate as the door swung open, revealing the man from the envelope my mother gave me. The only difference was that he had shorter hair that in the picture.

"Can I help you?" He asked.

What do I do now? My mind is screaming RUN! I stuttered for a few seconds before I saw the boy, Trent, from earlier run into the room with the other girl that I met, Kira, and two other boys.

"Trent? Kira?" I asked, shocked.

Okay, so I know it wasn't the best way to end a chapter, but I am really tired and I haven't updated for a while, so here you go! Please review!
