Scipio's POV

The next morning I wake up at 7:15.

I need to talk to Riccio to find out what he was doing all day yesterday.

I get myself ready in jeans and my favorite black and white striped shirt and cream colored hoody.

I mess my hair up a but and notice it got shorter. And my face... It's back to normal. My teenage face is back.

I try to fight back the tears that we're trying to come pouring out of my eyes.

I take a deep breath and walk into Riccio's room.

He's sleeping. I walk over to his bed and shake him awake.

"Riccio, Riccio, wake up!" I say still shaking him.

He groans and turns over in his bed and pulls his sheets up over his face.

"Riccio, I need to talk to you, now," I say trying to pull the sheets off.

He grabs at them, "Come on, Riccio!" I say and finally pull the sheets off with all my strength.

Riccio gasps and wakes up, "Scipio! What the heck was that about?!" He shouts frustrated.

"I need to talk to you," I state sitting down in a chair.

Riccio sits up in his bed and wipes the sleep out of his face, "What is it, Scip?"

"More like, where we're you all yesterday?" I ask him right out.

"Um," he hesitates and thinks about it.

"Come on Riccio, what were you doing?" I ask sitting up straight.

He clears his throat and says, "I've been seeing someone.."

His voice is barely audible.

"Seeing someone? Whom?" I say confused.

"Her name is Cassandra," he looks away.

"Where did you meet her, Riccio?" I ask him.

"By the water one time, she was so beautiful in her sundress and she almost tripped and fell, but I caught her just in time," he replies looking at me.

"And you've been seeing her since?"

He nods.

I sigh, "Why didn't you ever tell me?"

He shrugs, "I don't know, I guess I thought you wouldn't understand.."

"Riccio, how long have you known me?" I ask touching the side if his bed.

"About 6 years I think," he says looking down again.

"Have I ever let you down?" I say smiling slightly.

"Never," he smiles.

"Alright then,"

"So, it's okay if I see her?" He asks.

"I guess so, I mean.. You're almost sixteen," I look down.

"Scip... How old are you now?" He looks at me.

"Oh Riccio, I'm not quite sure anymore, one minute, I'm 19 and the next... I'm turning back to sixteen, what's wrong with me?!" I put my head in my hands.

"Well, I don't think your age is changing. I just think your looks are wearing off... You're still 19, Scip," Riccio encourages me.

I look up at him, "I hope so... I don't want to be an orphan... My father died and my mother died, all I have left is you, Juliet, and the rest of the gang..."

Riccio doesn't say anything, but then he says, "You've got a crush on Juliet, haven't you?"

My blushing gave it away when I said her name.

"Yes... I do.. But I don't know if she feels the same way about me," I tell him.

"How about you take her out tonight and see what she does," he suggests.

"What?"

"Just trust me," he winks and gets out of bed.

Okay, I'll give it a shot.

-Juliet's POV

So, Scipio told me he was taking me out tonight for some reason.

Does he like me? Why is he letting me stay at his apartment? He probably feels sorry for me.

I don't have anything nice to wear so I don't bother changing.

I stay in my jeans and grey tank top and black sweater.

Nice huh? Yeah, that's all I got.

I decide to take my hair down and brush it with my fingers getting all the tangles out.

It actually looks nice.

I walk out of the room and Scipio is slipping on his hoody.

"Ready?" He asks opening the door.

"Yeah, I'm ready," I say and we walk out.
