-1Shortly after Julius left Delilah's room and went to his own. Julius laid down on his bed as he began to think. 'I did the right thing…right. I mean she said that she wouldn't change her relationship with me for anything. Maybe that was a hint. I guess we were meant just to be friends.' Julius closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning Julius got up changed his clothes. Then walked across the hall and without even knocking, he opened Delilah's door and said, "Good morning De." Julius looked around Delilah's room and found that she was not there. Julius looked over at her clock; it read 7:30 a.m.

"Where would she be 7:30 in the morning on our day off?" Julius asked himself.

The answer was so obvious, "The library."

Julius walked to the library and sure enough she was there.

Delilah was sitting at a table all alone, in the corner of the academy's enormous library, reading. Julius walked over to Delilah. For a moment he just stood behind her looking over her shoulder. Then he placed his hand on her shoulder. Delilah shuddered under his hand and she quickly turned around and saw Julius standing there.

"Oh hi Julius, you scared me."

"Sorry about that."

"It's okay."

"So…What are you reading?"

"Oh just a book."

"Well that's kind of obvious. So…What's it about?"

"It's a romance novel."

"Oh So…"

"Do you what to go do something?" Delilah interrupted.

"Depends. What do you have in mind?"

"I felt like going for a swim."

"Okay then lets go swimming. I'm going to go change. I'll meet you by the pool."

"Sure." Julius was just about to leave when Delilah said, "Just wait, why don't we walk there together."

"Okay then."

Delilah stood up from her chair, grabbed her book in one hand, turned around to face Julius, and was just about to hold his hand until she realized what she doing. Then she put her hand at her side and started to walk with Julius back to their rooms.

They walked out of the library, turned a corner, and started to walk down a hall.

Delilah looked at the ground as she was walking and started to think. 'Why did I do that? It was like a reflex. Now that I think about it I've been wanting to do a lot of stuff like that lately and not just things like holding his hand. Lately I've been getting these urges to all of a sudden kiss him…on the lips.

Have I? No I couldn't have. Could I? Maybe I have. That's crazy talk. Is it? Is it really? Maybe I have falling for him.'
