Chapter Nine
Not Even Close, No Cigar
;-
The school bell rang quarter after, as students of Eden Hall Academy forced through the hallways to their second period class. Everyone but Julie was rushing for their next class. She was most definitely not looking forward to being in the presence of Adam Banks in that class. She didn't want to look, talk or anything to do with Adam. Frankly, that was going to be difficult, Julie sat next to him in History.
Julie entered the History classroom, a minute late, causing no disruption. She sat at her respective desk, staring straight forward, avoiding Adam. It was without a doubt that it would take a miracle for Adam not to talk to her, but she just wasn't ready to talk to him. She could already tell that he was trying to make the effort to speak to her, but he had given up, knowing that she didn't want to speak with him.
Julie had spaced out throughout History, having a flashback from the past. Back to that day when Adam first came to her dorm, as she came back from lunch.

Adam walked back to his respective seat, but as clumsy as he was with girls, he tripped over the large bean bag. Adam landed on top of Julie, he felt his cheeks burn red from embarrassment. Julie stared into Adam's eyes, she definitely felt a larger vibe than she did earlier that day. He looked away, embarrassed, he didn't know what to do, he froze as his nerves were kicking in once again.
"Enjoying the view from up there?" Julie giggled, asking the question in a nervously joking matter, as she brushed her hair around her ear.
Adam smiled nervously, picking himself off of her. "Sorry, I kind of tripped."
"That's alright, what did Charlie want?" She asked, crumbling up the wrapper of her sandwich.
"He's uh - he's just looking for Guy and Luis," Adam stammered, thinking of a convincing reason.
"Uh huh," she smiled, seeing through him, "You know, I'm glad you came."
"Why's that?" Adam asked, curiously.
"Well, it's kind of hard to have a roommate that has a boyfriend," Julie revealed, she was comfortable with telling Adam. "It's been kind of lonely."
"I'm glad I can keep you company," Adam laughed, "Ducks fly together, if you ever need one of us, we'll be there."
Julie grinned, she really enjoyed his company, "Adam?"
"Yeah?" he replied with a question.
"You're always welcomed to come here to just talk," she squeezed him into a hug.
Adam smiled, hugging her tightly, "Well then, I guess I'll be coming here more often." He laughed, as they let go of each other.

Julie snapped out of it, she didn't want that memory in her head anymore. It hurt her too much to think that the reason Adam just came over to her dorm was Charlie's dare. Her vision began to blur, as the tears slid down her face. Julie immediately wiped them, so no one would notice that she was crying in class.
What seemed to be hours, the bell finally rang for the end of class. Julie sniffled as she gathered her things. She immediately got out of class and being the first one out would give her a chance to lose Adam. She continued walking through the hallways, hoping that Adam wouldn't catch up. As Julie walked along, she felt someone tug on her arm. She turned around and looked into the ocean blue eyes of her Adam.
"I - I don't want to t - talk to you," Julie immediately turned her attention to the floor.
"Julie please, just let me explain," Adam begged, hoping she would agree to let him explain his side of the story.
Julie shook her head, she didn't want to listen to another explanation. She just wanted to be alone.
"Please Julie," Adam pleaded.
"Fine, five minutes," Julie replied, sharply.
"I couldn't back out, the guys would've made fun of me, if I didn't do the dare," Adam tried to explain.
"Stop. I've had enough. You have a freakin' voice, I don't get it, they're your best friends, and they'll always be your best friends even if you don't do the dare!" Julie bellowed. "Tell me, have you ever considered my feelings, if I found out this dare earlier?"
"I - er - no, I honestly didn't, I'm trying to apologize, but everything that comes out of my mouth is a negative reason," Adam sighed.
Adam could see the tears trickling down her cheeks. He hated seeing her this way. His world fell apart when he heard Julie say: "Times up... oh - and I never want to speak to you again."
All Adam could do was watch her cry, as she ran out on him. Julie sprinted for her dorm, ignoring everyone in her way, especially Connie, Guy and Charlie. She passed by them, but she didn't bother to think twice about ignoring them. Julie didn't dare look back, so she continued running for her dorm. She thrust the door opened, not bothering to close it shut. She quickly ran into her closet, hiding behind all the clothes. It was the only place private for her. Julie leaned her back on the wall, sliding into a sitting position as she hugged her knees for comfort.
Minutes later, Julie heard multiple footsteps enter the room. She held tight in her closet, hoping Connie forgot where she would always hid off to. Unfortunately, Julie was wrong, when Connie, Guy and Charlie entered the room. They all engulfed her into a hug.
"Jules, everything's going to be fin," Charlie said, soothingly.
"Yeah Julie, besides, it was Charlie's fault too," Connie added, brushing Julie's blonde hair out of her face.
"Not just Charlie's fault, mostly Adams, so my mind's already made up," Julie said, sobbing in between.
"Did you talk to him, Jules?" Guy asked.
Julie nodded.
"Oh no, Jules, you didn't," Connie said, knowing exactly what she did.
"We're done," She said simply.
"You can't be serious," Charlie exclaimed.
"We're not speaking to each other," Julie continued.
"Julie, don't do this, you'll regret it," Connie stated.
"That's that! Okay, stop sounding like Charlie," Julie finished.
THE END.
allSPARKS: I'm sorry I kind of left it at a cliffhanger. I promise it'll sort of continue on in the sequel, explaining the rest of sophomore year. Peace, love, and reviews please. :D
