Julia

The upcoming week would be filled with the preparations for the party, dress shopping and a few more days of school. The first two days went by peacefully, but Jenny did feel like the eyes she had felt a few times before, were becoming more frequent. Especially now that she was having lunch everyday with the boys. Just now before she joined them, she felt it again. But she was always a little too late to see who was giving her these looks. Though she felt no danger, the feeling she got wasn't exactly joyful either. Especially after the weird person who was standing by their classroom door and left without saying a word, Jenny felt that she should let Jason in on her thoughts. As she sat down next to Jason, she voiced her concerns. She told him about the feeling she got and told him about the girl from last week. Jason told her not to worry. He said that no one in this school would dare to harm her and that it was probably nothing. Though she still had her doubts, she would let it be for now. What else could she do when she did not know who the looks belonged to.

While Jason was reassuring Jenny, in his mind he had formed a speculation of who it could be. He didn't share this speculation with Jenny, because he didn't want her to be concerned about other people's problems. So instead he went to the person involved. Of course he didn't do so right away, as to prevent suspicion, but waited until the end of lunch break. "Harry, we need to talk" Harry turned around with a surprised expression as he watched Jenny and George walk towards the rooftop door. "What's wrong? Why so serious?" "I need you to take care of your business. That person has been showing up around Jenny. I cannot have her worrying about your loose ends. Either accept it or end it completely." Harry's expression grew a bit darker as he understood who Jason was talking about. He had been avoiding this confrontation, but it seemed it was no longer possible. "I understand. I will take care of it" Jason left after hearing these words and left his friend to gather his thoughts. Harry sighed and stared off in the distance with a calm expression, before turning it into a serious one and heading for the rooftop door as well.

Jenny and George were laughing happily as they walked towards the classroom, seemingly having forgotten what had happened before. When they got near the classroom Jenny once again saw the beautiful girl she had seen a few days ago. She was looking back and forth between the inside of the classroom through the windows and the hall. As she turned to look down the hall, she saw a familiar face looking in her direction. Seeing as it wasn't the face she was looking for, she turned around and wanted to leave for her own classroom to avoid suspicion. Not knowing they had been watching her for a while. Before she could leave George called out to her "Julia! Wait." Jenny was surprised to see that the suspicious woman she had seen before, was someone George knew. If he knew her, that meant that Jason and Harry probably knew her as well. If that was the case, why wouldn't she enter their classroom. Who was she looking or waiting for?

Confused by the situation Jenny was frozen to her spot. It wasn't until Jason caught up with them and put a hand on her shoulder, that she was awoken from her daze. She had been staring in the direction of George and the person named "Julia" without interruption. They had been talking with each other from the moment George had called out her name. It seemed like a heated discussion, where George was trying to convince her of something. But what? She looked in Jason's direction and it wasn't until now that she was actually aware of what he was saying. "Are you okay? Why are you standing here in the middle of the hallway?" Jenny pointed in the direction of George and Julia and said, "Do you see the woman standing next to George? That is the woman I was talking about. She was standing in front of the classroom, just like today, looking like she was trying to enter. However the moment I got close, she left without saying a word. It seems like George knows her. Do you know who she is as well?" Jason's eyes followed in the direction that Jenny was pointing at, but without looking he knew who would be standing there. As he predicted, it was Julia. They hadn't seen or heard from her in a long time, so he thought that she had given up. But it seemed like she had come for round two.
