So, I'm back with the sequel to Your Lies are Art, sorry it took so long. If you haven't read the first it would be more helpful if you did to understand this one, but I mean it's not a law that you have to. There is some Italian written down in this and obviously, I must warn you that it could be inaccurate as I used Google translate. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the first chapter ;D.

Nathanael let out a sigh and lay his head on the table. Rose and Juleka glanced across the room at him before looking at each other. "He's been like all day, the poor darling" Rose said.

"All day! More like for the past three weeks!" Juleka hissed.

"Juleka, be nice!" Rose frowned.

Juleka put her arms on the desk "Sorry...it's just...he's so mopey lately!" she quietly grumbled.

"He misses Lila, it's only understandable," Rose said, she glanced back over at Nathanael who was sitting upright again and staring out the window with sad blue eyes not listening to a word Miss Bustier was saying. Rose gave a soft smile to Juleka "Wouldn't you be like Nathanael if I wasn't here?"

Juleka blushed "Of course I would miss you...but I wouldn't annoy everyone else about it!"

"Juleka" Rose chided.

"What? He's acting like she's dead!" Juleka said folding her arms "She's only in Italy, she'll be back in like...I don't know, three days"

Rose giggled "Well, until then you've got to be nice and put up with Nathanael's moodiness, okay" Juleka nodded as Rose smiled. Then the bell rang for the end of school. Its rings echoed through the corridors as Children rushed out of their classrooms like a herd of stampeding bulls as the pushed each other in a hurry to get out of school.

Nathanael did not rush as he packed away his things slowly. Lost so far in his own thoughts that he did not notice Rose coming to stand alongside him. "Nathanael," she said, shocking him out of his thoughts. He jumped a little and looked at her with wide blinking eyes. She looked at him in concern "You okay?" He nodded "Uh yeah, sorry...you just surprised me...I was lost in my thoughts"

Rose giggled "I could tell"

"You two coming?" Juleka called from beside the door.

"Yes, wait up," Rose said, walking down towards Juleka.

Nathanael stood up and followed behind slowly.

As the trio walked down the school steps in silence, the crowds of hyper teenagers mostly gone Rose decided to speak. "So, Nathanael have you heard any word from Lila?" She caught Juleka giving her an annoyed glare over Nathanael's head. She ignored her. Nathanael glanced at Rose "Yeah, we text each other every night, sometimes if we have time we video call each other"

"So is she enjoying Italy?" Rose asked.

"I don't think anyone would enjoy going back home because their grandad died" Nathanael responded bluntly.

Rose and Juleka's eyes widened at Nathanael's bluntness. He caught their stares and a small blush dusted his cheeks in embarrassment. "Er, sorry, I didn't mean to be rude...I just miss Lila...Ignore me" Juleka cast a look at Rose that said 'Look what you've started now' Rose once again ignored her.
