~•~(Julia's POV)~•~
I ran down a hallway and proceeded to laugh until it hurt my appendix. (A/N: Yes that is possible. Don't question a shinigami.) 'Although the incident itself made me blush like crazy, when I kneed him, his face was so adorable that I- ACK! IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN!!!' I continued walking and thinking about band, Lisandro, and food, but then I realized I had no idea where I was. I had wandered into the seventh grade half of the school, which messed with my sense of direction. 'Oh no. This is bad. This is really really bad!' In a sort of last resort, I just began running in a random direction and ended up in the athletics hall. (don't even ask me how.) Suddenly, I heard the tiniest noise coming from a door, and that was enough to give me hope of finding Lisandro, or just anybody really. Without bothering to read things on the wall, I pushed open the door and found myself to be in a locker room. If my logic was working, I would have realized that the girl's locker room would have smelt a lot better than this, but in my lonely, desperate struggle, I just continued to go towards the noise. I pushed open another door and realized the sound was running water, as in a shower, and with horror, realized the only person it could be was Lisandro. 'He can't see me in here! He'll think I'm perverted or something!' I heard the water turn off and, thinking quickly, I dove into a bin that unfortunately was for holding used towels. [(>﹏< )-ew] I clamped a hand over my mouth in order to stop myself from gagging. I suddenly heard the door opening and closing, signaling someone had left. I counted to twenty in my head and burst out, gasping for air. Half of my body was still in the bin, but even the sweaty, humid, locker room air was better than inside the towel bin. Suddenly, the door opened again, and I stared in disbelief into the familiar black eyes of none other than Lisandro. He only had shorts on, with a towel hanging around his shoulders. I felt my face heat up as he raised and eyebrow. "Um... Julia? What are you doing?" I raised my hands in denial, about to explain, but the sudden weight shift was enough to tip the bin over, spilling me and a bunch of dirty towels onto the floor in front of a confused and slightly amused Lisandro.

'Well, today officially tops the list of most awkward days of my life. I'm just glad I already had shorts on... (｡ŏ_ŏ) yeah. That could've been worse.' By now, Julia was just completely exasperated, and she had slung her arm over her eyes, still on the floor. "Look, I'm not a pervert, I just got lost, heard a noise, and followed it here, failing to read any signs or notice anything off about my surroundings." I laughed a little. "Then, why were you in the towel bin?" she groaned and stood up. "I didn't want you to see me so..." I smirked before finishing her sentence. "so you jumped into a pile of dirty, nasty towels?" she nodded, slouching. 'Hey, this is another good time to see if I can embarrass her...' "So, did you like what you saw?" her face jerked up, surprised. She blushed and stuttered, causing me to smirk again. However, once she saw I enjoyed her reaction, she forced herself to steady before poking me in the chest and saying, "Aye. I will admit you are attractive and have sex appeal but that does not mean I am attracted to you. We just met today, so it would be IMPOSSIBLE for me to have a crush on you, because I'm not a slut that instantly throws myself at a guy. You even ended up getting kicked in the balls!" I stared at her, in awe, before regaining my composure. "Technically, I was kneed, and you're the one who dove into dirty towels." she groaned and hung her head. "Anyways. This was fun and all, but I should be going now." I smiled. This actually was a pretty amusing day. "Yeah. See you tomorrow Julia." She grabbed her bag and turned towards me waving goodbye (and slightly smiling) before walking out the door. 'What a day indeed...'

My brother pulled up and I got in the car. 'Did all of that really just happen?' my brother leaned in and hugged me, but immediately pulled away saying, "Woah. Why do you smell like you came out of a camel's anus?" I sighed, slightly smiling. "Nice choice of words. And it's a long story." he nodded as he began driving away. "Just know, I'm not hugging you until you shower." Julia shuddered. 'Showers... The incident... Gross...'
~•~•~•~
The next day at school, things were really awkward for me every time I saw Lisandro. But hey, I get to meet my history class. Upon arrival, Karissa jumped up and beckoned me over to her table, consisting of her Avery, and a girl wearing a My Chemical Romance shirt, thick eyeliner, and had dirty blonde hair with black streaks in it. "Hey Mr. Stephenson! We got a new student!" Karissa yelled as the teacher rolled his eyes and welcomed me. "Nice to meet you Julia, I guess you can sit at Karissa's table." she and Avery high fived suspiciously as the other girl smiled at me. "What's up? I'm Allie. And I'm kind of stuck with these two weirdos so yeah." Avery flicked a tiny wad of paper at her. "Wow. First off, we're friends and you chose to sit here. Second, you're a weirdo too." the trio glared at each other before bursting out laughing. Allie looked at me amused. "Don't worry, this is pretty normal behavior for us. You're gonna have such a fun school year."
'Yeah... Tell me something I don't know.'
