Next day at school/ lunch:
Julia's p.o.v;
I walked out of history class towards my locker.
I quickly put all my stuff in it and went to the cafeteria.
"Hey." I heard from behind me.
I turned around with a weak smile.
"Hey Ethan." I said.
"How are you ?" He smiled back.
"Good, what about you ?"
"Good." He scratched the back of his neck. "Julia, right ?"
"Yeah." I said awkwardly.
He doesn't even knew my name...okay no wonder Julia.
"Do you wanna like ehm hang out with me...now ?"
"Uh sure. Alone ?"
"Yeah but only if you want to." He giggled.
"Okay, I don't want to."
"Oh okay." His smile dropped.
"Awh I am just kidding." I laughed.
He laughed along with me.
"Oh my god, this is so embarrassing." He blushed.
"No, it's kinda cute."
He blushed once again and took my hand.
"Come with me." He said.
"Okay." I felt my cheeks heat up.
We went out of the entrance, behind the school building, where a big tree was standing.
"Why are we here ?" I asked confused.
Nobody except of us was there.
"I don't know. We can talk, chill...you know." He kept smiling at me.
"Okay." I sat down on the ground and leaned my back against the tree.
"So..." Ethan sat also down. "Sorry about yesterday, again." He said nervously.
"Don't worry, I am still alive." I chuckled.
"Luckily."
We sat there in awkward silence. Not saying a word. Just staring at everything in front of us.
"Why are you suddenly talking to me ?" I asked out of nowhere.
"I wanted to get to know you." He answered simply.
"All of a sudden ?"
"Yeah, since I saw you with my brother...I don't know." He tried not to make eye contact.
"Since then you noticed me." I looked down.
"No, I didn't meant it like that."
"It's okay. I'm kinda invisible. To everyone." I said gazing at my hands. "It's a wonder that Grayson noticed me. Well I thought he did but after our little 'conversation' he again treated me like air."
"You into him, aren't you ?" He smiled weakly.
"No." I shook my head.
"Don't lie to me." He hit my shoulder playfully.
"I'm really not into him and even if I were, I am way to ugly for him."
"Don't say that. My brother don't knows anything about girls or woman's. And by the way in my eyes you are one of the most beautiful girls." He looked me straight in to my eyes.
"I-I should go."
"What why ?! Did I do something wrong ?" He asked worried.
"No but...you have a girlfriend, you should spend time with her. Not with me. Even though she isn't even in our school, well I never saw her here before. I am sure she wouldn't like it if you are with other girls." I said.
"Yeah my girlfriend- wait my what ?" He furrowed his eyebrows.
"You're girlfriend." I replied myself.
"Damn..." He leaned his head back. "I didn't know that I have a girlfriend. Who's the lucky girl ?"
"Stop joking. This Cameron girl you were playing basketball with." I rolled my eyes playfully.
"Cameron ?!" He laughed. "She's my sister."
"Your- oh my god." My whole expression dropped.
I felt my face getting pale.
This is so awkward...
"I'm so sorry." I put my hand over my mouth.
"It's okay." He smiled.
"I'm so dumb." I closed my eyes in embarrassment.
"No your not. It's not happening every day that I am hanging out with girls. I am only sometimes with the ones I like or I am interested with." He smirked.
"So, do you like me or are you interested in me ?" I smirked back.
"Both."
