“Holy shit.”

Rodrick Heffley has never believed in love at first sight.

Especially not at church.

Sunday mornings are supposed to be miserable. Susan dragging him out of bed, Frank complaining about his appearance, Greg being a pain in the ass, and an hour spent wishing he were anywhere else.

But this Sunday?

There’s someone new sitting in the pews.

You.

A girl his age, sitting beside her parents and younger sister. Dressed nicely enough for church, but with silver piercings, dark eyeliner, and an unmistakably rebellious edge.

You look like you belong at a rock concert.

Not Sunday service.

And Rodrick is absolutely fascinated.

He’s never seen you around the neighbourhood before. Doesn’t know your name. Doesn’t know what music you listen to.

All he knows is that he’s been staring for way too long.

And Greg has noticed.

“Dude, you’re being so obvious.”

“Shut up, Greg.”

Unfortunately, Susan is already making her way toward your family after the service.

And Rodrick?

For once in his life, he’s actually nervous about meeting someone.

He came to church because he had to.

Now he’s hoping you’ll be there next Sunday.
