Adrian Likes Julius

VI

He was in Jesus's car with his friends plus Paulina-Jesus's ex- who they had no idea why she was even there.

"Yeah, we should go to the gym after school." She butt into their conversation.

Adrian sneezed. "Lil bitch is you buggin?"

"I'm allergic to cuuuuuffin." Chris sang along, chuckling.
Paulina turned back to face him, frowning. Adrian honestly saw no point in her being around unless she was giving up the neck. She's nice to look at but her voice was annoying.

"Y'know, those pictures Julius posted of you on snapchat were hot."

He raised an eyebrow, confused. He had no social media and even if he did, Julius would not be added. But he heard around that Julius was famous out here on all social media platforms.

"What snap?"

Paulina grinned and handed him her phone. "Scroll left."

Seeing that they were screenshots, he wondered how many other people have done the same.

The first picture was one of him staring ahead but his eyes were covered. It was captioned, "Always thinking 🙄. Can't stand him."

The second was zoomed in on his lips, which he was biting. That's something he did when he was deep in thought. He captioned it, "Thinking of Daddy 🍆☺️."

Adrian narrowed his eyes at the next one, which was a pic of his butt . "When he wears the gray joggers 👅🍑."

Chris was dying with laughter. "I saw them yesterday a-at track and it had me WEAK!"

"You're fake." Adrian sulked. Julius was an asshole and it wasn't cool.

Oh, today he'll definitely be on edge.

_______________________________
Why Julius had moved his seat to sit behind him was beyond him, but he tried his best to ignore it and concentrate on the stupid lesson.

Adrian scribbled down notes, using his other hand to move his dreads out his face. His band had popped in gym and he was tortured by them spilling in his face.

The only reason he had tied his dreads back in the first place was because he was overdue to get them retwisted and planned to on Sunday.

"You need a rubber band?"

Adrian turned his head and eyed the light skinned male who held out his hand, a large rubberband between his fingers.

"Why are you trying to be nice to me?" Adrian pried, watching him suspiciously. He was probably feeling guilty about the pictures.

Julius chuckled lowly, rolling his eyes behind his reading glasses. "You're coming to my house, can't provoke you." He pushed the band towards him. "Just take it."

Desperate to keep his hair out of his face, the dreadlocked teen snatched the band. He quickly tried to scoop up all his dreads into one, ignoring the soft snickers coming from behind him.

Adrian snapped around to face Julius, raising an eyebrow. "What's so funny?"

The light eyed male bit his lower lip momentarily before allowing them to spread into a Cheshire grin.
