Romeo and Julio

Chapter 2 Illness

I sat on my bed and looked at Julio. He was to busy looking around the room. "So Romeo I heard its your birthday." He spoke trying not to look into my eyes. " um yeah it is." I said while trying to read his body language.

He looked like he was nervous. Thats normal for the new boy.

Isnt it?

"Oh well happy birthday... um.. I hope I didnt ruin the birthday atmosphere." He stuttered. "You didnt ruin the atmosphere you made it more supicous and mysterious." I chuckled."Oh.. ha..okay"

The bell for dinner rang "Thats the dinner bell, You hungry?" I asked with a smirk. He opened his mouth as if he was going to answer but he closed it again and instead nodded.

"c'mon then lets go. I said as I guided him out of the room with my hand on his back. I guided him through the orphanage.

We reached the dinning area. Half of the people where seated. I sat beside Marco while Julio sat beside me. "Hi im Marco welcome Julio." Marco said over me. "Hey Marco." Julio said with a smile.

Why did he talk normally to him but to me he would stutter and be nervous? Did he hate me? Im the type who wouldnt care if someone didnt like me but for some reason the taught of Julio hating me made me feel sick.

"What was your old orphanage like?" Christopher asked on the other side of Julio. " psh where do I start.. well the girls orphanage was next door and on sundays we go to church together and.." He was so loud and clear yet when he held a conversation with me it was silent and mumbled. Do i make him uncomfortable?

Why is he like this?

Why am I so worried?

I swear im sick.

Dinner ended and we went the chapel and had evening mass. Then we had to go to bed.

I retreated to my room to see Julio sitting cross legged on the bed. "oh...hi" he shyly said. Seeing him shy is kinda cute. Did I just call boy cute? Im supposed to say that about girls. What sickness is this?

"Hey." I said coldly. "Whats wrong with you." He asked anxiously I looked into his eyes that looked he was about to cry.

"Im sick" I said showing no emotion.

"Is that why your being so... moody."He asked cocking his head to the side.

"well....um yeah." I lied."That must be tough considering its your birthday. Is a cold of flu?" He asked. Come to think of it what was it? maybe I ate something bad. Maybe I caught something off Julio after all this feeling started off when I saw Julio.

"I would explain but you would think I was insane." I informed him.

"I hope its nothing serious."

Me too Julio.
