I wake up in the morning to Lee opening the door. "Rise and shine sleepy head."
"How did you get a key to my room?" I say wiping my sleepy eyes.
"Oh, if anyone asks, I'm the janitor." Lee winks.
"Lee!" I semi yell.
"Just kidding, I just answered questions and they gave me the key." Lee says giggling.

After getting ready in ripped jeans, a white shirt and cardigan, I go downstairs and wait for the rest of the class. Some people are already here but not everyone, not even the teachers yet, which is surprising.

After everyone came down and the teachers took attendance five million times, we finally leave to go tour New York. We start walking around town all bunched together, I'm at the back with Lee and Rachel, oh and Rachel's friend Amelia, which I barley know, except for the fact that she dated Noah for a day. As we walk by some people I could swear I see Noah in a crowd, but he's in Boston, today's a school day for him, so it's not even him.

"What's wrong?" Lee budges me.
"Hm? Oh nothing." I shake it off.
"Whattttt?" Lee whines.
"I just swear I saw Noah in a crowd of people, but obviously it wasn't him." I say.
"Oh, stop thinking about him. We're in New York Elle, think about that instead." He says putting his arm around me.

We're walking past Central Park when once again I swear I see him just standing there. I swing around to see that it is him. He smiles even though we're across from the street from each other and I face across the street to him. I jump into his arms and nearly start crying.

"What are you doing here." I say kissing him.
"Well, why else do you think I asked you when you're coming here?" Noah says hugging me tight.

I laugh. "Wait, but doesn't you have exams this week?"
"I did, but I was able to do them last week, so I have this week off to be with you." Noah smirks.
"Did Lee know about this?" I ask.
"I don't know, maybe looking behind you." Noah points for me to see Lee standing across the street smiling and waving.
"Of course." I laugh.
"How else do you think I'd know you'd be here in this right moment?" Noah says wrapping his arms around me.

After a couple moments of realization, I realize I need to get back to my class.

"Wait, I gotta get back to my class!" I say facing Noah.
"Let's go." Noah says grabbing my hand.
"Wait you're coming?" I ask Noah.
"What do you think, I'm going to hide in a hotel room all day alone?" Noah says looking at me.
"I mean, wait, are you the reason I got a couple sweet?" I say realizing.
"Am I?" Noah winks as we walk back to the other side of the street.
"Finally, our class is like half way around New York." Lee whines.
"You know you didn't have to stay?" I tell Lee as we start walking again.
"Meh, Rachel was just talking with Amelia so I thought I wait for y'all." Lee says.
"Since when does he talk like a cowboy?" Noah whispers to me.
"Just know I guess." I giggle.

Once we finally catch up with the group Noah decides to go upfront to see my teachers, since they were his teachers last year.

"Noah Flynn, is that really you?" One of my teachers, Mrs Camila, asks.
"It is." Noah laughs.
"Aren't you supposed to be in Boston? I could have sworn you were the one who got into Harvard." She says thinking.
"I'm supposed to be, but I thought I'd come down to see my brother." Noah says jokingly.
"Oh, and her too." Noah laughs.

Mrs Camila just laughs and gets back to talking to our class.

I spot Ethan staring at us and I just tug Noah away.

"What's up?" Noah asks.
"Ethan." I say quietly.
"He's still a dick isn't he." Noah says looking at him.
"Mhm." I say moving closer to Noah.

It's later that night and we're in bed, finally I like this bed.

"Ethan, he said you kissed someone when you were here for Valentine's?" I bring up.
"Huh? You're going to believe him?" Noah says sitting up looking at me.
"No! I'm just asking you about it." I gulp.
"Oh my God Elle. Fuck me. I'm sorry that was rude." Noah says realizing he was a little rude.
"No, it's okay, it's just, did you?" I say biting my nail.
"No, no, no." Noah says shaking his head.
"That's what I thought." I say turning around.

Should I also tell him about Annie. And how she still seemed just a little obsessed with him.

"Did you sit with him on the plane." Noah says as he turns me back around.
"I did, but then switched spots." I say.
"And I sat with someone from Harvard." I gulp.
"Who?" Noah says noisy.
"Annie." I say under my breath.
"Annie, as in the Ann-"
"Mhm." I say.
"Oh wow. Wow."
"Yeah. That's what I thought when I realized it was her."
"It's okay though, let's just forget about that." Noah says wrapping his arm around me.
"And let's get to something else." He says pulling me onto on top of him.

As Noah kisses me and unbuckles my bra like he's done it a million times (which he has) I hear the door kinda move, but I just ignore that. But when I realize the door is opening I fall off of Noah almost onto the floor until he catches me and Lee just stands there with his mouth wide open regretting everything he just saw.

"I'm gonna head out now." Lee says turning around and leaving.

Me and Noah just look at each other and laugh.

"Wanna get back to where we just were?" Noah says laughing.
"Anytime." I say laughing too.

I wake up to the sound of the door closing but no one is here, so it must have just been next door. I turn around to notice Noah isn't there, I'm confused until I realize it's six in the morning so he most likely just went out either for a jog or food.

I decide to get up because there's no point in going back to bed. I get up and almost fall over because of being light headed, but I just shake it off. Today we're going to somewhere in Brooklyn, over the Brooklyn bridge. I decide on a mustard yellow knit sweater and black jeans.

"Good morning." Noah say kissing me and handing me coffee.
"Oh so this is why you weren't in bed when I woke up." I say kissing him back.
"Mhm, have you talked to Lee yet?" Noah asks.
"No, not yet." I say taking a deep breath.
"It's gonna be something awkward to talk about." I say taking a bite out of the donut Noah got me.
"Why don't I, talk to him?" Noah asks me.
"Sure, I don't care I'd rather you talk to him than me." I say licking the glaze off my lips.
"Okay, I'll be back." Noah says giving me a kiss.
"Actually, I'm gonna come with you, I need to talk to Rachel about something." I say grabbing my purse.
"Since when are you and Rachel friends?"
"Since never, I just have to ask her about something." I say opening the door.

Noah shrugs and follows me out of the room.

"Rachel, can I talk to you?" I ask her.
"Uh, yeah, I guess." Rachel says coming outside the room.
"What do you want?" Rachel says rudely.
"I don't have any other friends that are girls really, well that I can talk to right now, but how do you know when Lee's lying?" I ask.
"He never lies so I wouldn't know." Rachel says being selfish.
"Rachel. Please." I beg her.
"No Elle, I don't give a fuck about you and Noah's relationship." Rachel says rolling her eyes.
"I'm not asking you for relationship advice, I'm asking you a question."
"Well I'm not going to tell you the answer, just go run along now." She says pointing to the elevator.
"I'll be waiting for my boyfriend thank you very much." I say leaning against the wall.

Rachel just rolls her eyes and goes back inside. Not to long Noah comes out with Lee following.

"Heyyy." I say trying to make it a little less awkward.
"Elle it's okay, I'm not gonna get made at you for having sex with my brother. We're not it third grade anymore." Lee says putting his hand on my shoulder.
"It's my fault anyway. I'm the one who walked in even though I heard moaning." Lee says shrugging.
"Waittttt. We're you guys doing it that one time I knocked on your door and you said you were watching porn? Before I knew about you guys?" Lee says with huge eyes.

I look at Noah and let out a small giggle.

"Oh my God! That's disgusting." Lee says making a disgusted face.

My teacher allows Noah to take the bus with us to Brooklyn since Noah's always been the teacher pet (even with all the fights he has gotten into).
