-1"Great view." Delilah said pointing out the window.

"Yeah sure, so…" Julius replied looking distracted by something, "How was your day?"

"Fine. How about you?" Delilah couldn't shake the feeling that something was up 'He's acting like were just hanging out. He asked me on a date, right he used that word right, yes he did. So what did he change his mind about me.'

"Yeah, I'm fine." Julius replied without moving his view from his menu.

Just then Seth came up with Delilah and Julius's drinks. He put their drinks on the table and asked, "Are you ready to order?"

"Yes we are, I'll have the special. Dee?"

"I'll have… ummmm, I guess I'll have the same."

"Okay then, I'll be back later on." Replied Seth while scribbling in his note pad. Then he left.

"Julius…" then Delilah stopped herself from continuing in fear of him getting mad.

"What is it?"

"Oh I, forget. Don't you just hate when that happens. Your thoughts there one moment than gone the next."

"Oh yeah, whatever."

No one said anything after that. Julius sat there playing with his fork, and Delilah stared out the window only looking away to drink her iced tea. A little while later Seth came up with their meals and sensing some tension asked if everything was alright.

"Yeah were just super!" remarked Julius giving Seth a thumbs up and a fake smile.

"Whatever, here's your meals. What's wrong with you?" Replied Seth with the last part aiming at Julius. Then he turned around and left. Delilah just looked disappointed at Julius, then sat quietly and ate her meal. When Delilah looked at him like that it felt like a dagger went through him.

They just sat there quietly eating very slowly. Finally Delilah couldn't take it anymore, "What's wrong with you!"

"I…" Julius started then Delilah cut him off.

"Okay first you ask me out and you're all great and everything now you're not even talking to me. At first I thought it was because you were nervous and now I… I don't know, but when you said that to Seth you were a real jerk, the only thing he did wrong was be nice to you! I want to go back to the academy."

"Wait let me explain."

"I'm going." Then Delilah began to walk out.

"Just wait I'm coming, check." Seth came up with the bill. Julius paid, gave Seth a tip, and then ran out after Delilah.

When Delilah walked out of the restaurant one of the guys told her to have a good night and she said, "I'll try." as nicely as she could under the current circumstances.

Just as Delilah reached the car Julius caught up. "Give me the keys Julius, I want to drive." Julius through her the keys and they both got into the car.

No one said anything on the ride home. Which gave Delilah some time to calm down, and it also gave Julius some well needed time to think, 'great I accomplished what I tried so hard not to. She's mad at me and I don't know when… or if she'll forgive me. But on the other hand there's no reason not to tell her why I was acting that way. Maybe…just maybe she will forgive me. You know if she does forgive me then I think I will ask her out. Again. Because I can't live with her as just a friend. I want nah, I need to be more than that.' His mind was made up and right in time, because as his thoughts stopped they arrived at the academy.
