When I reached the house I went straight to my bedroom. I was so so confused to hear Noah's words. I thought to myself, "Maybe he was just teasing me....." I was overthinking this too much. I immediately wanted to call Naomi and tell her all about it....but I had to get my homework done. After homework, I tried to fall asleep, but I couldn't after the way he talked to me. Eventually I fell asleep.
When I woke up I was even more shocked then I was the night before. I had a dream about Noah! He kept asking me if I cared about him and if I loved him. It just kept playing over and over and over! Even though I got at least 8 hours of sleep, I felt exhausted.
I finally got out of bed and took a shower. Today I wanted to look cute but stay comfortable. So I put on some black leggings, a cozy sweatshirt, and my tennis shoes. I put my hair in a cute bun and added some makeup on my face because I needed it.
I remembered that Naomi was picking me up....with Noah. He better not be driving. Meanwhile, I went downstairs and ate some breakfast and heard a honk. I wished my parents goodbye and walked out. I see Noah's black corvette. I got in the car and of course.... Noah is driving.
Anna: "I thought I told you that you are not allowed to drive." I said, not surprised.
He looked at me and said with a smirk, "You really thought I would listen to you?" said Noah.
I rolled my eyes and started talking to Naomi. He laughed and I realized he was looking at me through the mirror. I looked at him and pointed to the road, he looked at the road and continued staring. Does he always do that? Or did he just start because I said I cared about him? I tried to ignore him but I felt so uncomfortable.
Anna: "How's your head?" I asked.
Noah: "Fine. What other injuries did I have?" He asked.
Anna: "You had a cut on your forehead, from Cole's knife. Luckily it wasn't deep enough to need stitches. Your nose was bleeding and so was your lip."
"Oh my poor luscious lips!" He teased in an anonymous way. Naomi laughed and so did I.
Finally we got to school and all of us stepped out of the car. "Hopefully today is better" I thought to myself. I saw the Principal coming towards us..."Oh no" I thought. He came up to Noah and I and asked If I could check on Noah before school starts. I nod my head and Noah follows me to the nurse's office.
When we get to the nurse's office I ask him to sit on the exam table. He listens and sits down.
Anna: "Oh so now you listen to me." I say in a teasing voice. He tries not to grin. I walk over to him and checked his eyes.
Anna: "Your concussion is getting better." I said. He just nods his head.
I look at his cut to make sure it isn't infected. I went to clean it again and when I dab his cut with a cotton ball and some rubbing alcohol, he immediately grabs my waist again and moans in pain. Anna: "Are you ok?" I said, worriedly.
Noah: "Mhm....yup....fine." He said, closing his eyes and trying not to scream again.
Anna: "Ok..... can you let go of me now?" I said looking down at him. He looks up at me and pulls me in closer. I got Deja vu....again!
Noah: "Why? Do you not like me holding you?" He asks, smiling up at me. I finally got out of his grip.
Anna: "We need to get to class. Your head is fine it should heal in a week or two." I picked up my backpack and walked out.
Before I walked out, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him.
Anna: "You just can't keep your hands off of me can you?" I said. He smiles and lets me go. I turn around and he says,
Noah: "It doesn't help that you are so beautiful." I immediately stop and can't move. He walks past me with smirk and says,
Noah: "We have to get to class." and walks out. What just happened! I can't let his teasing get to me! I walk to class, trying to ignore my thoughts.
Finally it's lunch. I find Naomi and we sit together.
Anna: "Ok random question, what would you do if I asked you if Noah liked me?" She stares at me in shock.
Naomi: "What! Why?" She asked.
Anna: "No reason" I said and shrugged my shoulders.
Naomi: "Anna, I know you. Talk to me."
I took a deep breath and prayed to God.
Anna: "Yesterday when you guys came for dinner, I noticed Noah would glance at me a lot. Then after dinner he took me on a walk and when we got a few blocks away from my house he asked me if I cared about him. I said of course and he pulled me towards him and said good. I was so baffled that I didn't answer. Then today he would keep grabbing my waist. Once when I was cleaning his cut because it hurt and again because I asked him to let me go. Please don't talk to him about it!! And please don't be mad." I said in a worried voice.
Naomi: "Haha. Why do you think I would be mad at you? I was actually gonna ask you about it too because he talks about you a lot recently."
I felt relieved, I laughed and shrugged.
After school, when Noah and Naomi took me home, it was very silent. Noah asked how school was and Naomi and I both said good. It was silent the rest of the way home. When I got out of the car I waved and ran to my front door. I went to my bedroom, completed my studies and laid in my bed thinking about what happened with Noah. I went downstairs to eat dinner and my mom turned on the news. Iran is threatening America with a war. I was shocked....again! My whole family was watching with fear.
I jump when I hear a knock on the door. It's 10:00, who would be knocking at this hour? I walked and slowly opened the door. Because it is dark, I could only see a black figure. It looks as if it is trying to walk, but suffering. The figure suddenly moves closer into the porch light.
Figure :"Anna" It sounds like a male voice.
He comes into the light and I step back in shock... It's NOAH!! He looks extremely beat up. I grab his hand and help him inside.
Anna: "Mom! It's Noah, he needs help." I yelled, in a worried voice.
