I've realized the me and Noah have most classes together. If being neighbors was not enough.
He didn't bother me for the rest of the day, so it was fine.
When the last period bell rings, I have to leave the safety of the classroom to go wait at Vivian's car.
crash!
"Omg, I'm so sorry," the girl I crashed into says. She had another girl next to her side. I didn't think much of it. They are both really pretty, one with dark hair and chocolate skin and one is a blond. They seem pretty nice.
Whats with the people bumping into me today?
"It's ok, it happens all the time." I said to her.
"I'm Kenna and she is Cassie," the dark haired girl says.
"Olivia, nice to meet you," I shake both of their outstretched hands.
"Your new right? If you ever wanna hang out with this just ask."Cassie says to me.
"Sure," I nod, I'd rather be friends with them instead of Vivian and her toxic clique.
"Bye, nice meeting you," Kenna says walking away, as she does this I really don't know if my eyes were deceiving me but I think I saw her wink at her friend.
The cold air hits me as I walk out to the almost empty parking lot. I stop in my tracks, there are 2 reasons.
1. Vivian's car is gone.
2. Noah is standing in the parking lot talking to some friends, Kenna and Cassie included.
I throw my hands up in frustration, I didn't even take that long.
I sat down in a nearby bench, debating wether or not I should call my aunt but she can't leave work. I could walk home but I don't even know where that is and the drive here was about twenty five minutes so that would just triple the time.
Unless...
Wasn't Vivian saying something about Noah being our neighbor.
Now I was debating weather or not I should ask him for the address and walk into the group of people he was talking to.
He's leaning on the drivers door still talking to the same people excitedly. A guy says something, he laughs. Which is something I though he was not capable of doing. At least he is in a good mood.
I decide to wait until the crowd disperses. It's just Kenna and Cassie and him left.
I slowly walk around his car and approach him nervously. My palms begin to sweat so I rubbed them on my skirt. Kenna spots me and nudges Noah. He glances up and turns his gaze up at me.
He takes on a threatening stance as if I'm gonna throw all the condiments of the world at him.His shirt is changed into a white tee. I wonder what he did with the other black one I wrecked.
"Hey, I just want to apologize for earlier,"I nod awkwardly as I stare at the floor. I feel his gaze on me as I brush a hair out of my face."Can I ask you a question?"I glance up at him and find him scrutinizing me.
"This is like talking to a brick wall," I mutter as I kick the gravel beneath my feet. "Anyway, since we are neighbors do you mind telling me the address, since my cousin left me."
"Ow!" Noah says grabbing his side."Huh?" I said confused, Kenna and Cassie are just standing there smiling.
"Why doesn't he just give you a ride? Huh, why don't you Noah?" Cassie says smiling nodding towards him.
"No, it's ok, I just need the address." I said panicking, I don't wanna sit in a car with him." Ah-ouch, OK!" Noah says "I'll take her, lets go." He says opening the door.
"No really, its ok," I say, I don't wanna sit in a car with him.
"Come on," he grunts as he kicks off his car and opens the door for himself. I shuffle over to the side an open the door for myself, in fear that he will leave me.
What am I talking about, he would run me over, then run me over again. This is Noah we are talking about the guy who hates my guts and I hate his.
As he starts the car, I grow curious."Aren't you waiting for someone?" I wonder as I look back at the tall building we were just released from.
"Nope and stop talking," He concludes. He puts his hand on the back of my headrest I glance at it but ignore it.
"We have to stop and get gas."
"Okay," I nod at him and start thinking of ways to get back at him for all those years of torture he put me through.
I know he hasn't been that mean this year, but that doesn't make up for the past and I'm different now, I can defend myself.
As we reach the gas station, he gets out of the car, before he closes the door he leans forward and says " Don't touch anything."
No promises
