Chapter 1 - Chapter 1:I'll be leaving you

"I need to see Ariel" Julius said to nema who was standing at the door

Julius was at his last year at Hemrage high school,he wanted to see Ariel and tell her he was leaving very soon but nema told him Ariel don't want to see him or talk to him because she was angry at him

"Nema move before push you" Julius said with an angry look on his face.He was really getting annoyed at nema

Nema was Ariel's best friend and roommate,she didn't want Julius to meet Ariel and tell her the truth because she was having feelings for him but rejected her every single time she came to him.She noticed he will always cling to Ariel so she made a perfect plan with Cole.

"You can't see Ariel because she doesn't want to see you Julius"nema said as she smirked at Julius "you broke her pure and innocent heart Julius, she was such a good friend to you but you deceived her , you lied to her you slot"nema said as she smiled mischievously at Julius

Julius felt something was off with the way nema was acting and a thought stroke him and he said"Ariel are you in there " there was silence in the room but the feeling only grew stronger and he was su"re Ariel was close so he continued

"Ariel I don't know what happened,I really don't understand why you don't want to see me but I'm sure it's something nema and Cole has done.Ariel I came here to tell you that I'm leaving school today....I..I wanted us to hang out together but it seems like you're really upset with me and don't want to see me so I'm just gonna leave you but Ariel you should know that I'll always be a good friend to you I really enjoyed the time I've spent with you "he said as he turned to leave but stopped as he remembered something he came back to the door,he put his hand in his left front pocket of his black pant and brought out a bracelet"Ariel I bought you this bracelet as a token I want it to be a reminder of me to you and I really don't want nema to touch it with her dirty hands so I'll drop it on the floor for you,bye Ariel, I'll be leaving you

Julius turned and left without looking back, immediately he was out of sight nema looked at the sparkling bracelet on the floor and wanted to pick it up but before she could she heard a voice

"It won't be nice to do that nema"Ariel said and gave nema a angry look before picking up the bracelet and held it tightly

"You heard him clearly,and he said he didn't want to you to touch it" Ariel said to nema

"Don't tell me you're listening to what he said and also consider my hands dirty"nema said with a surprised and questioning look on her face

" Dirty you just said...huh... you think I don't know your deeds with Cole right"she gave a sarcastic smile to nema and continued " I know everything both you and Cole has done,I know you planned this but I decided to play along for my personal reasons nema.I gave you the name of my best friend because I trusted you with all my heart but behind my back you had a relationship with my so called boyfriend Cole right "she smirked at nema and walked directly to her,she stood in front of her and smiled"the only reason I just played along was because I was looking for evidence to show my dad because he didn't want to believe me when I told him that Cole wasn't a good man so I decided to use you but you didn't even figure it out because you were busy chasing after Cole at the same time you were also chasing Julius, truly disgusting "Ariel gave nema a disgusted look and walked passed her but before she could get out of the corridor she heard nema's voice "how dare to you think you can use me like that"nema shouted at her and from her voice it was clear that she was really furious "I didn't want to use anybody but you volunteered by dating Cole behind my back"Ariel said and opened the door of the corridor and went out

She went straight to Julius hostel but when she knocked on the door it was his roommate who opened the door

"Emmm.. sorry where's Julius "Ariel said anxiously

"Julius already left his dad came to pick him up and I guess it's really important because he didn't even take his stuffs along "Elvis said

"His he coming back "she asked with a nervous look on her face

"I don't think so Ariel"Elvis replied

"Do you know where I can find him, it's really important Elvis"Ariel could feel herself getting really worried and nervous "what if I can't find him again" she thought too herself

"No Ariel I don't know,I also feel something is off about him, I've been with him for years but I don't even know who he is or where he's from, when ever I ask him he'll just change the topic,I really don't know where to find him but I guess he'll be in Athens because he always talk to someone about coming back to Athens" Elvis explained to her

" Thanks Elvis"she gave him a smile and watched him close the doors before she turned and left with a very disappointed look on her face.

Julius has been a very good friend to her from day one he truly cared about her,she smiled as she remembered the first day they met

..........

She was really a failure when it came to her studies she was starring at her results when she received a call, it was her dad,he definitely got the news of her failure

"Hello dad"she said lazily

"Ariel"a loud shout came from the other end of the call she knew her dad was already very furious

"Yes dad,I know you want to scold me about my results but I really tried my best this time dad

"That's what's you always say when you fail Ariel,you better go and work on you academics because you her my daughter and the child of Dylan Arcus can never fail

"Dylan said in a really serious tone

"Alright dad I'll work on my studies okay can you stop pastering me now "Ariel hung up the phone before her dad could give her an answer

Ariel was the only daughter of Dylan Arcus and his late wife.Ever since the death of her mother her father became a strict workaholic and never give time to his daughter. So Ariel grew up with the love of her nanny Sophie.Nanny Sophia became Ariel's mother figure and treated her as a daughter but after nanny Sophie got married Ariel was all alone so her dad decided to send her off to hemrage.

Ariel couldn't stop thinking about her dad,even her room became sophisticated, she knew she needed time out door.she went straight to the chair in front of her hostel and sat stirring at the people walking around, she was completely lost in thought but she felt someone close to her.

"Ah...who the hell are you"Ariel said as she stirred at Julius with her big sparkling eyes

"I only came to study....why you so shocked"Julius answered with a smile on his face

"Well you startled me" Ariel replied as she looked away

"Sorry if I did" Julius turned to read his book. They both remained silence for some minutes, Ariel broke the silence

"I guess you must have past your exams with flying colors"Ariel said with a sarcastic smile on her face

"Yeah, I know you're being sarcastic but I did get good grades"Julius said still focused on his book

"You got good grades!!!!! Then why are you still studying"she was utterly surprised

"I'll be having my last exam next year so I'll just start right now"he didn't even look at her, Ariel knew it was gonna be hard for her but she had to ask him to tutor her, she just had to try

"Have you ever tutored someone before "I asked,she thought Julius was really annoying because he didn't even pay attention to her,he just acted like she was invincible

"Nope and I'm not planning on doing so" Julius replied still giving the same attitude

"Never mind" Ariel said and stood up about to leave but Julius stopped her

"Hey, young lady don't you have anything to say

"Well I do but....bu.. but you won't agree anyway " Ariel stammered

"Why don't you ask me first, try asking me with a really nice face just drop your ego aside"Julius said looking directly to Ariel who was already boiling

" When you know what I'm going to say why don't you drop your ego aside and agree without stressing me "Ariel replied pointing at Julius

"If you're not going to ask I'll leave then"Julius said totally ignoring what Ariel just said

Ariel couldn't believe it,he just walk past her which meant he is going to the hostel opposite her's, Ariel remembered her dad's angry voice and couldn't hold it any longer

"Wait please,I have something to ask you"Ariel shouted

Without turning back he replied "I'm listening,I really don't have much time"

Ariel felt embarrassed because of the attitude he was giving but she really had no choice "I need to you to tutor me"

"Hmph"he smirked "meet me tomorrow I'll think about it today

Ariel was about to go crazy,who was this guy,who the hell does he to think he his,how dare he talk too her like that.....lost in thought she heard Julius voice

"By the way Ariel my name is Julius "he said as he walked away without looking back

"How on earth does he know my name, this is the first time I've met this guy, he's really strange " Ariel thought to her self

.................,..................

But she was never going to see him again, Julius was really gone, she was going to miss such a good friend and tutor. She stirred at the bracelet on her hands and decided to pass her exams and made Julius proud of her. She wasn't sure but she knew she was going to see him again one day
