Delilah suddenly felt sick. She stopped walking and clutched her stomach. Now they were only a few feet away from their rooms. Julius quickly noticed that Delilah had stopped walking so he turned around to see what was wrong. "What's wrong?"
"I don't feel well." Delilah removed her hand from her stomach and finished walking to her bedroom door. She put her hand on the door knob but before she opened her door she turned to Julius and said, "I'm sorry, but I really don't feel well. Maybe we can hang out later or tomorrow. I really am sorry."
"It's okay. You go rest and I hope you feel better soon."
"Thanks. See you later Julius" Delilah opened her door, went inside, and closed the door behind her. Julius turned around and started to walk back down the hall.
Delilah slowly walked to her bed. Then she crawled onto her bed and laid down on her back. As she laid there her mind started to wonder. 'Maybe I do like him. What am I talking about, of course I like him. What's not to like. He's intelligent, sweet, kind, caring, and very cute. Also he knows me. He understands me. We've been though the same things. I have to tell him how I feel.' Delilah stood up and left her room to go find Julius.
Julius was in his bedroom thinking about the same topic Delilah was. 'Why do I always find myself thinking about her and us? Delilah and me are not meant to be. I already went though this. I don't want to jeopardize our friendship, but I love her.' Julius sat down on his bed, in frustration. He buried his face in hands. After a moment Julius said, "I need some air." Then he got up and left his room.
The first place Delilah looked for Julius was his room, but to her disappointment he wasn't there. She went room to room trying to find him but she couldn't. Delilah soon got frustrated and went outside for some air. She walked around the academy and went to the garden. She kept her head down while she was walking. 'Why can't I find him, damn it!' Delilah saw a rock near her foot and kicked it as hard as she could.
"Ouch!" Delilah looked ahead of her to see Julius sitting on the ground a few feet in front of her. "Did you just kick a rock at me?" Julius asked while he stood up.
"I didn't kick it at you. I did kick it but I didn't mean for it to hit you. I'm sorry."
"It's okay." A cold wind came and Delilah shivered. Julius walked over to her, took off his jacket, and put it on her.
"Thank you. Julius there's something I want to tell you."
"What is it?"
Delilah opened her mouth but she couldn't find the words to, tell him how she feels about him.
"Well, what is it."
Delilah didn't know how to tell him but she knew actually how to show him. She quickly leaned in and pressed her lips to his, in a deep kiss. After almost a minute Julius broke the kiss.
"Julius, I love you."
"Delilah I've been thinking about our relationship for awhile and I don't think we should get together. I love you too, but what happens if we break up and we stop being friends."
"First off, I know we'll never ever break up. Second off, nothing could ever ruin our friendship."
"I guess you're right. So there's nothing stopping us."
"No."
"Well then…" Julius got cut off as Delilah wrapped her arms around his neck and passionately kiss him.
