Romeo's pov
September 2nd, 20XX (Monday)

"I want to go to the garden" he whimpered while holding my hand. His hands were very warm for some odd reason. My body is always cold, buts his was warm enough to make my hand warm

I stare at him for a second and sigh with frustration, "I'm dealing with you for two weeks. Two weeks only"

"Go ahead. We'll continue this talk later on ok" he said with a smile as I nodded. He looked at me and whispered close to my ear, "meet me around 10pm at school in my office so we can talk, make sure your alone"

I looked at him and nodded at him then looked at Julian who was looking around the room, gazing out the window and the posters hanging on the walls in the room. "Grab your things so we can go to the garden Julian" I told him as he nodded.

"I'll meet you at the back of the school" Mr. Gram explained as I walked to the door as Julian followed me.

"Ohhhh~ someone's gotta play a new play toy!" A girl yelled in my class making everyone look at us. I look to see it was Heather, head of the cheerleaders, popular, oh she's dating the most popular guy here which is James.

"Suck a dick Heather. I mean, not like you Prince Charming has one" I smirk as she growled at me. The class started to laugh and whisper but quietly

Heather has straight bright blond hair that stops in the middle of her back but she has it in a ponytail. She has a body like an instagram model, not too curvy and not too flat. Her height was around 5'5 and skin color is a fair light peach. "Oh go to hell with your new whore!" She spat and I flicked her off.

"Oi watch your fucking mouth bitch!" I spat at her. "Or do me and your boyfriend need to go at it again?"

"...."

"That's what i fucking thought" I scoff at her.

I opened the door for him as we walked out, the door closing behind us. The garden wasn't too far from where we are so it was just a few steps away from us. Julian was skipping in front of me, joyful humming a song that he seemed to know so well. When he skipped his hair would bounce up every time he skipped, making a little tap sound that echoed throughout the hallway.

"I'm humming 'Demons' by Joji. He's an amazing singer. His new album just came out this year with most of his new songs'' he noted as he stopped skipping and I stopped walking.

"What's wrong with you? Why'd you stop skipping?" I ask him, tilting my head to the side.

"It's nothing but," he started with a careful tone "I wanna get to know you better. Not as my guide but as a friend. So let me hang out with you after school  please"

He finished saying, turning towards me with a light smile on his face. His face was friendly but I could see the nervousness hidden in his smile. I looked at him with a surprised expression but that turned into a frown.

"I um....appreciate you trying? But my life is a mess and I can't get you involved" I sigh as I watched his smile fade. "Plus we just met"

"But please? I won't ask anything too personal!" He whispered while looking down at the ground. I could see tears hit the ground and I started to panic.

"ok ok. Julian? Don't cry" I panic while walking up to him. I whipped his tears with the end of my Grey sweatshirt. "Stop crying will you?!"

He looked up at me and smiled, "so we can hang out today!"

'Damn. If I say no he might cry again and I don't do well with emotions. But if I say yes he might want to know where I live or more about me and my family. She paired me with a baby! This was not the deal!' I thought and sighed at him. "Sure why not. Just stop crying"

"No, no you said you didn't wanna be friends with me" he cried while turning his head away from me.

"I never said that! I'll be your friend?" I question myself as his face lit up with joy. I sigh in relief as he starts to skip to the garden door ahead of me.

"Yes! This is going to be so fun! We're going to become best friends!" He sang with an alive tone while skipping down the hall. I started to walk after him with my head down, trying to hide my smile from him. "Look at all the snow!"

'This kid is a hand full already!!' I thought as I made it to the garden door. I open the door to feel a rush of cold air hit my face, moving my hair out of place. Julian's hair moved around and it looked messy.

"Ahh!" He gasped with amazement as he ran outside into the snow. I walked out behind him, closing the door behind me. "It's so cold! Where I come from it wasn't cold at all. It didn't even snow there!"

"Where did you move from exactly?" I ask him while sitting on a bench with a roof over it. He looked at me with a smile as he squatted down to look at the flowers that were now covered in snow.

"I came from Florida. That place is really hot." He answered then looked at me. "I can tell you more about it if you want. That'll be the first thing you learn bout me as your new friend"

"Sure why not" I shrug, leaning back on the bench. I laid my backpack on the ground next me. I put my hands inside my pant pockets as I listened to what he had to say.

"Florida is supper hot in the summer and it rarely rains there! Well sometimes it does rain but when it does it's super humid. The beaches are so pretty there too!  Wonder if they have any beaches here in Pacific Grove..." he trailed off into his thoughts. "But it's super fun there. There are so many things you can do there. Plus it's beautiful at night!"

"Hey Romeo?" He called

"Yeah" I answer to him

I watched him get up from his spot with a flower that was stuffed into his pants pocket. His fingers twirling in little circles as he looked down at me. "Do you have a girlfriend?"
