Julius didn’t know what to expect when he stood in front of the grandiose gates, luscious fields, and beautiful students dressed in their pristine uniforms looking like a million bucks. He told himself that he wouldn’t get involved with anyone and that he’d keep his head down since the chances of him moving again were quite high. He didn’t expect to find himself to be so entranced with the dorm leader Agares Montgomery, the most handsome boy he’d ever seen. 

“So what’s Agares really like?” Julius asked.

Silas grinned mischievously. “That’s a tough one.”

Julius noticed the sly smile on Silas’s face and realized he’d been teased. 

“Just kidding~” Silas said, chuckling. 

“Well, Agares is a bit of a mystery. He’s strict but has a laid-back side too. He’s cold most of the time but can be surprisingly kind in rare moments?”

Julius couldn’t help but laugh at the contradictory description. “Why do you make it sound like you’re unsure?”

“Because he really is a puzzle. He’s not a bad guy, though. He keeps to himself and mainly communicates through the vice leader, Epaphras. He’s insanely popular, not just here but at Saint Ambracia Academy too. There have been incidents where girls from the academy tried to sneak into East Laurence just to see him. It’s crazy.”

“Anyway,” Silas said, “you probably won’t interact with him much unless absolutely necessary, so don’t stress too much about it.”

That should’ve been the case, and yet, he found himself interacting with the dark haired boy more and more, his admiration slowly started to change into something more.
“Do I like him?” He couldn’t help but ask himself.

A little extra note: 

This is a sweet love story, a bit of a slow burn but definitely worth getting into.. Each chapter includes a song and I would definitely recommend you listen to the song (on low volume of course) while reading. You get to feel the full Julius Loriana experience by listening to the music he’s also listening to with each chapter. 

If this story happens to curry your fancy, then please give it a try, I promise it won’t disappoint (≧∀≦) !

"I've had enough of this bullshit pity love fest." She sneered. "It's clear Agares is only doing this to save Julius' face." 


The crowd looked confused, and Julius recovered from his momentary stun as he looked at her as if she had something growing from her head. At this moment, Amélie had arrived and she was met with the sight of Serene having a sort of stand-off with Agares and Julius. 


"What the hell is going on?" She asked Silas. 


The redhead only shook his head as he whispered: "We're about to find out." 


"Obviously his special someone is Cyric not Agares. As if he could ever pull a Montgomery." She scoffed. "What I want to know is why you're covering for him Agares?" She asked him. 


Agares sighed, his gray eyes regarding her with cold detachment. He couldn't fathom the lengths to which Serene would go to drive a wedge between them.
