Stand Tall together-Julie and the Phantoms season 2

Episode 3

-Julie's POV-

It was early in the morning and I had school so I was putting on my outfit for the day. I decided for a pink-blue-white striped crop top and a jeans with a black belt, the day before so I put that on. When I had my clothes on I decided to put my necklace on which I wore every day. My mom gave it to me on my 8th birthday and since then I've been wearing it. I opened the necklace and tried to put it on but because of my messy morning hair I struggled a little.

Just as I nearly managed to put it on I heard a ghost poof in.

„Aaaahhh, oh my god Luke! I almost managed to put my necklace on but now you distracted me!!", I yelled and gave him an angry glare.

„Oops, sorry.. Can I help you?", he asked and stepped a little closer. I felt myself blush a little and nodded silently.

He moved even closer so that I could feel his cold hands on my neck. They were dead but it wasn't an unpleasant cold, a nice cold which made me tingle a little. I felt how he grabbed the necklace and closed it while brushing my neck with his hands.

„There you go..", he said and still stood close to me so that I could almost feel his breath. He moved away and looked me in the eyes.

„Thank you...", I said and smiled at him while still blushing a little. He smiled back at me and we both just looked in each other's eyes for a moment. It was slowly getting weird so I decided to break the silence.

„Ehhh, so why are you even up that early and poofing in my room?", I asked him.

„Well I was bored and figured you would be awake by now so I decided to go see what you are doing..", he answered and I blushed a little.

Luke wanted to see what I was doing. I would have loved to spend some time with him but I had to get ready.

„I was getting ready before you interrupted me and scared me to death. AGAIN!"

„Okay, cool. I-I mean sorry..", he muttered after I gave him a glare again.

I grabbed my backpack which I had packed before and opened the door.

„So you are just gonna leave me here?", Luke acted offended..

„Sorry, but I don't think my dad wants me to be to late to school because a cute ghost boy was in my room!"

Oh shit, did I just say that!?, I thought and blushed.

„Aeh, okay then you should probably leave..", he stuttered, clearly surprised.

Oh shit, it's going to be so weird he I hated me now!! My thoughts were a full chaos..

I managed to close the door and muttered a quiet „Bye!"

-Luke's POV-

Did Julie just call me cute?! No, she probably was just trying to be nice... She doesn't like me more than as a friend.

After Julie left I decided to poof out too. But as I was already ready to leave I noticed a paper on her nightstand. I knew it was an invasion of privacy but I just needed to look at it. What if it were the lyrics to the melody she hummed yesterday, I thought.

I grabbed the paper and looked at it:

Here, in front of me

Shining so much brighter, than I have ever seen

Life can be so mean

But when he goes I know he doesn't leave

The truth is finally breaking through
