Carnivalle the School of Darkness

chapter 9 Dress

Noelle POV

I woke up early Julius was still asleep I really wanted to talk about the kiss but I didn't want to bother him so I slowly got up and got dressed and tried to leave but I felt someone's hands wrap around my waist.

"Where do you think you're going at this hour Noelle" Julius laid his head on my shoulder and I couldn't help but feel so weak my legs felt like they were about to give in. I slowly held Julius and brought him back to his bed I slowly placed the covers over him and kissed him on the forehead I walked out to see Sophie waiting for me I promised her that we could hang soon so we walked down the road and started to talk I told her about the kiss and everything and she seems to be very into it she didn't look away or interrupt me.

"I am sorry I keep on babbling but I don't know what to do"

"Hmm I see your problem but I have one question"

"What is it," I asked

"Are you in love with Julius...?"

And that when it hit me the big words I didn't think I word hear ever in my life in love with Julius?

"I wouldn't call it to love but when im near him my heart beats fast and he makes me blush like crazy he's kind and a little aggressive but I like him" I was shocked by my own words.

"Noelle I think that is love" Sophie giggled and ran ahead I stood there shocked at myself I can't believe it I really am in love with Julius. I giggled and skipped toward Sophie.

I am in love with Julius! I shouted in my head it was wrong very wrong but I didn't care I loved him and I really wanted to tell him but I couldn't if I did he might reject me or worse he might send me the principal. I hung out with Sophie for the rest of the day before returning back to the dorm I opened the door to see Julius sitting on my bed his head was down like he was stressed about something.

"Hello, Julius"

Julius shot his head open and ran towards me he hugged me tight sending both of us to the ground. "Julius, what happened?" I asked looking up at him "you had me worried sick about you I couldn't find you I was gonna call security and ask to look for you, you gave me a heart attack" he said.

"I am so sorry Julius I was with Sophie we were hanging out I had no intention of making you worry" I soothed Julius head before he got up his whole body was on top of me I blushed and looked away he was so close to me.

"Please look at me"

Julius held my chin and turned me to face him we were staring at each other for a long time.

"Um, Julius is something wrong?"

"No, I just..." Julius leaned in closer and our lips were gently touching each other then there was a knock at the door and Julius and I quickly separated.

"Coming!"

I quickly stood up and watched as Julius opened the door "umm who is it?" I went to the door to see Julius girlfriend Dana I think her name was standing at the door. "Julius I am breaking up with you! You have been hanging with that stupid girl from the light I am done with you". I watched as Dana through a necklace at Julius before walking down the hall it seems that this was not a shocking thing to Julius because all he did was shut the door and throw the necklace in the trash.

"Umm Julius, aren't you gonna go after her?"

"Why would I do that I never liked her in the first place she was only using me for my popularity and money I hate her" even though he seems serious I could tell there was a little pain in his heart so much had happened to him.
