To say that yesterday with Noah made me happy was a huge understatement. I never felt so good opening up about a lot of personal things.

Even though I opened up. And even though I told him things that not even Becky knows about me because they never came up. It still made me really happy. I wanted to find out more about him. I wanted know what made him happy and what made him unhappy, I wanted to know more about what he loves and more about what he hates. I wanted to find out his hobbies and his interests.

But with that, came a lot of questions about me. I hated opening up to people because I felt like I would just be judged and ridiculed. But maybe with Noah, I wouldn't be. Just maybe...

Three lessons in and I have history. My palms began to sweat and my pulse quicken. We would be finding out who we were paired with. I don't know what I would doing if it was with someone I didn't know or didn't like.

"Alright class, on your desk this morning there is a small slip of paper..." Mr Crocks began.

"On that slip of paper there will be your name and a number. You will have five minutes and only five minutes; to go into the other classes and find someone with the same number as you. That is then who you are paired with. You then come back here and write down your partners name and your name on this sheet of paper. Alright... You may go."

I shuffled into the other class room and looked around at people inside. I was number nineteen. I spotted Becky at the back of the class.

"Becky! What number are you?" I all but screamed across the class, walking her way.

"Fifteen, what number are you?" She smiled hopeful.

"Oh come on! I'm number nineteen!" I felt like ripping up the piece of paper.

"Shame!" She gave me a small smile and then moved on to find her pair.

I walked in between the desk softly asking people's numbers. None of them were Nineteen. I was about to give up when I felt a small tap on my shoulder. I spun around and saw Noah smiling down at me.

"Hey!" I smiled widely.

"Hey, I'm number nineteen what are you?" He asked me trying to see the paper in my hand.

"Seriously? I'm number nineteen!" I nearly squealed.

"No way, That's good then!" He smiled again and I saw relief wash over him. I sighed in relief too.

"Well see you later then yeah?" He asked nicely. I nodded in reply and made my way back to my own class.

Wait, what if Noah being my partner was a bad thing? Should I have actually hoped for someone that I don't know? These thoughts flew through my mind as I wrote our names down on the page.

What if I ended up saying something stupid again and making the moment awkward. Why would I care about this? I thought to myself.

'It's because you like him! MORE THEN FRIENDS.' the annoying voice inside my head screamed. No I don't, I whispered under my breath.
I should really consider shooting the voice inside my head. She's never a good person.

The lesson started again and fifty five minutes later it was lunch. Praise the Lord.
Scrambling at my feet I all but ran to the lunch hall. I filled my tray up with food and sat down waiting for the others.

"Hey again!" Noah's voice from behind me came. I turned around and looked up, bringing my gaze to his eyes.

"Hey." I smiled.
