The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chapter 0430
I set out to show Julian what having a real girlfriend should be like as soon as I could, so early the next morning, I dressed in my cutest sundress and showed up to his door with a basket of fresh bread I plucked straight from
the kitchen. It was still warm.
I knocked on his door. Brian opened it, and his eye twitched in what I assumed was surprise. It was the most emotion I had ever seen out of him.
"Is Julian awake yet?" I asked.
"He's getting dressed," Brian said. Before I could ask to come in, Brian
stepped back and let me inside the room.
I stood just inside the door in Julian's sitting room. Brian glanced at me again, before disappearing into what must have been the bedroom. A moment later, Julian himself came bursting out.
"Piper? To what do I owe the pleasure?"
I held out the basket. "I thought we could spend some time together today."
He walked closer, glanced into the basket, and then snatched a handful of the bread. He bit into it, chewed, and swallowed.
The show was in two days, and with our final dress-rehearsal tomorrow, Bridget personally requested that everyone take it easy today. It had been some time since we had a day without practice or some other event, so it
seemed the perfect time to have a date with Julian.
"Is this part of your elaborate plan to prove something to me?" Julian
asked.
"Yes," "I said. There was no reason to hide it. I'd been upfront from the
start. Might as well continue to be, I reasoned.
Julian tilted his head. "You don't have to do this."
"No, I'm definitely doing this," I said. "We're friends, and I won't rest until you recognize how important you are and how much you deserve."
Julian huffed out a laugh as he rolled his eyes. "You are stubborn."
And just like that he was convinced to spend time with me.
"Let's take a walk in the garden," I said. "It's a beautiful day."
Since Bridget had been brought into the competition, a lot of the protesting had dwindled. There were still a few hardy regulars, but for the most part, the biggest danger had passed. At least from what I could tell.
I was sure some tension still simmered under the surface, but everyone
seemed distracted now. The competition was once again serving its true purpose, captivating the kingdom.
"Alright," Julian said. I took his hand in mine. He smirked a little and
squeezed my fingers.
Together, we walked down the hallway to the stairs, then down the stairs to the doorway to the gardens. Since it was our day off, there were other girls out there taking walks, though no one seemed to pay Julian and I any attention. We wouldn't stand out. After all, we were supposed to be dating.
As we walked, we talked about this and that. Julian and I already got along very well, so it didn't take much for us to have an enjoyable time in each other's company.
