The Juliet Dilemma

Fallen

"Julie?" Romeo said from the ground.

"Hi," Julie grinned sheepishly. She blushed.

"Hi," Romeo could resist a laugh. "What are doing here?"

"Um..." Julie didn't even have to say anything. Actually it was the lack of her saying anything that let him know what was going on.

"You were spying on me, weren't you?" His laughter faded. Now she was embarrassed for a completely different reason. They had been caught.

"Yeah..." Julie stated.

Romeo rolled his eyes. What could he expect? It was Julie.

"Are you going to get up? Cause I can't." Romeo teased.

"Oh right." Julie was up in a flash, her face bright red. She extended her hand and Romeo took it. "Sorry,"

"You're a klutz." Romeo shook his head." He laughed.

"Shut up." Julie mumbled, crossing her arms and glaring.

"Who else is here?" Romeo wondered, peering behind her. He raised an eyebrow at his friends' awful disguises. "Hey, Anthony! Ivy," He simply nodded at the redheaded girl.

"Dang... Our covers have been blown." Ivy laughed.

"Looks like it." Anthony smirked, taking off his fake glasses. "Thanks, Julie." Sarcasm was practically dripping from his lips.

"Hey!" Julie shot him a glare.

Romeo laughed at Julie glaring at his best friend. He couldn't help it. She was cute when she was angry. Julie noticed him and stuck out her tongue, like the mature teenager she was.

"So I'm the coolest girl you know?" Julie stated, smirking. Now it was time to tease Romeo. His reaction was exactly as she expected. Crimson flushed across his face.

"Er... Yeah. As a friend of course! I mean there's nothing wrong with that, right? You are pretty cool- And so are you, Ivy! It's just- I mean-" Cameron spluttered, his face completely matching his blood red hoodie.

Julie shook her head, laughing. "Rosie was right about one thing."

Her friends shot her a curious look. Why would Julie admit Rosie had been right? That wasn't something she would generally do.

"What's that?" The crimson in Romeo's  cheeks were beginning to fade as he asked.

"You are pretty cute when you're flustered." Julie stated, smoothly. She laughed at the stunned expression on Romeo's face. It was as if he had been turned into a statue the way he was staring at her in that moment. "Well, I believe that's all I needed to do. Bye, Romeo."

The way she said his name would have sent shivers down his spine if he hadn't still been frozen with shock. They way she walked out the door, the things she said, and her tone all pointed to obvious flirting.

"Huh, looks like she did learn to flirt after all." Ivy hummed. She shrugged before following her blonde best friend.

However Romeo Cameron missed all of this. He was dense as a pile of rocks as he couldn't sense Julie's flirting. Romeo only had one thing on his mind.

She had called him cute.
