The Dare

Chapter 8

A few weeks go by and I decided to school. It's getting colder and darker. Winter. My favourite time of the year. I used to love Christmas. I used to love waking up to snow every year and Christmas decorations coming into stores making me so excited. But two years ago my parents decided to get a divorce on Christmas and it just brings back bad memories and it's just not the same.

I wait outside Ellie's house and we kept walking to school.
It was chemistry class and we got put into pairs for an experiment. I got put with Noah. The experiment was to colour fire all different colours like blue, green, red it was awesome. It was even more awesome because I was out with Noah. We were sitting down after the experiment writing down on the evaluation sheet. How it went, what turned out the best, blah blah blah.

Noah was sitting beside me as we watch the Bunsen burner lit a flame on the top. I could feel the presence of his legs right next to mine and was suddenly touching mine. We don't move we kinda just sit there, wondering if anyone is gonna take there leg away. But no one does.

We both turn our heads towards each other and I look into his brown eyes. Goddamn. They're the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. I could get lost in them.

I wonder what I look like in his eyes.

I notice I've been admiring him for too long and I quickly and I look back down at my sheet. I could see at the corner of my eye, his mouth slowly smiling, which made me smirk.
"You're really pretty you know y/n"
My mouth slighting falls open, still staring at my page then clamp it shut again. I slowly turned my head to face Noah's who's staring at me smiling. A massive smile forms on my face. "That's the nicest thing anyone has said to me in a while."
Noah opens his mouth about to say something and Bryce comes over and wraps his arm under his head and pretends to choke him childishly. I could see his smile disappearing as soon as Bryce came over and kinda gave me the "I'm sorry" look on his face. The bell rings and schools over.
"I'll see you around" I say as I grab my backpack and stand up.
Noah smiles and says "bye y/n"

My mom was waiting for me in the car outside of the school and I hop into the back seat. Rachel is normally there before me so I ask "No Rachel?"

"She gone to her friends house" I turn back into my seat and nod. I close my eyes and I fall deeper into the passenger seat. So exhausted from the school day but also replaying chemistry with Noah in my head over and over.
