[i]Maybe I should get to know the other kids.[/i] Looking around the crowd, Julius saw many different people. Boys with big glasses and a gap between their teeth, holding tightly to their books. Boys with sidecut hair, nudging their friends as they make fun of each other and their "big muscles", sneering at Julius occasionally. Noisy girls, talking to each other about some cute boy or the opposite, some not so cute boy whom they make fun of while he pretends he doesn't hear it. But then there was one girl... A red-headed girl with freckles and clear blue eyes. Julius' heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked away. [i]What the hell?[/i] he thought to himself. [i]My heart...[/i] he clasped a hand over his chest. Julius had never known love before, not in this way. He had no idea what he was feeling, but he couldn't help but sneak a peak at the girl once in a while... She looked like a shy type, but her smile made Julius melt. She had friends already it seemed, but he couldn't hear what they were talking about.
Gathering his courage, Julius was just about to go over there when he was bumped into from behind. [i]"Hrm?"[/i] he said, not budging even slightly. Looking over his shoulder, he noticed someone had bumped into him. [i]"Sorry!"[/i] the boy squeaked. Julius grinned. [i]"Don't worry about it."[/i] he said. He was nervous too...
