I stare at the list of names in front of me while I take a bite of my toast. I decided to take a look at the website the doctor suggested to me to check out to find a psychologist that would suit me. The thing is that I don't understand a single word there, it's all too complicated for a Saturday morning. I still call two or three numbers, just in case they'd have a place for me, but none of them were taking new patients. I finish my toast and go take a shower to get my day started as soon as possible since I have a lot of studying to do. I have like five exams next week so I have to study for everything. It's also getting a lot colder outside since winter is starting so I didn't plan to go anywhere during the weekend, except maybe to buy myself a winter coat. I then dress up and install all my stuff on the kitchen table. This is going to be two long days of studying...

Finally! All done! I spent almost two whole days studying, apart from actually going to the store for groceries and a coat, so I'm exhausted. I didn't eat a lot again, I was too busy to even be hungry. Now, I finally have the time to think about the Noah issue. I decided that I really have to talk to him. He's too important to me, I can't afford to lose him. I just need to figure out how to do that. I guess I should start by getting his attention. Then getting him to talk to me and finally, convincing him. I think I'm going to slip a letter into his locker. It's cliché but looks cute so why not? Considering how sweet he is, it should go well. I go to sleep peacefully, not really worried about anything this time.

I'm sitting in class, nervous because, first of all, I have two tests today and, second of all, I slipped my note in Noah's locker earlier this morning. It said to meet me at the park close to my house after school because I need to talk to him. I'm just wondering if he's actually going to show up... I stress out about this all day long and when it's finally time to go home, I hurry out of the school and run to the park. It only takes me 5 minutes to get there so I'm pretty sure he isn't here yet. I walk around the park to calm my racing heart, thinking I'm still waiting for him to arrive, until I see Noah already sitting on a bench, looking around. I take a deep breath in and go sit beside him.
"Hey..." he looks at me, surprised as if he totally forgot that we were supposed to meet here. His surprised eyes turn to angry and uninterested ones. He looks back in front of him as he exhales sharply.
"What did you want to talk about, Maddison?" It's only now that the actual nervousness takes over me.
"I-I'm sorry..." I admit.
"You know why I'm angry at you, right?" he sounds a little angrier but his eyes hold less furry.
