The Last Wave I Encountered

Chapter 2

The game finished and everyone started to leave. "I need to go to my locker real quick," I yelled to Bekah as we stood up over the commotion. "Ok I'll meet you outside then," she huffed, "Be quick." I smiled "Will do," and headed to the other side of the gym. The halls were dark with the lights off halfway down the hall. I went up to my locker and put in the combination 11-49-41. I opened my locker and grabbed my English book and my book of the week I was reading, Thirteen Reasons Why.It was a good book. Sadly it was about suicide witch I knew to much about.

I closed my locker and started heading back to the gym when I suddenly ran onto something knocking me off balance and my books dropping to the ground with a thud. "Crap," I muttered, "I'm such a klutz, sorry, " I started to pick up my things when a guy said, "My bad I wasn't looking. Seriously." I looked up. Of all people it was Noah freakin Woodard. He bent down and helped pick up my things. "I haven't seen you around here. Have I?" he asked giving me a half grin. I stood up with books in hand, "Umm... no, probably not I don't talk to many people." He gave me the book. "Guess I need to introduce myself," he bit his lip then outstretched his arm,"Noah. You are?" "Mai," I smiled taking his hand. "Well nice to meet you Mai. Maybe I will see you around school then," he smiled.That smile was to die for.

 He pulled out his phone and checked the time. " Well I need to get going. do you have a ride home? I could drop you off, if you'd like." He combed through his black hair with his fingers. "My friend Bekah, her brother Elijah is actually driving her and me home," I quickly stated, " Thanks anyways." "Ok well, see you around maybe," Noah said giving me a sly smile, I started to leave."Hey Mai! Wait! Could I get your number by chance?" This put me in shock I turned around. He half smiled. " Uh, yea it's 527-980-8457," I said brushing my hair out of my face. "Ok I'll text you later. I got to go,'' and like that he left.

I walked back to the car. "What the hell took you so long?" Bekah huffed. "Um...I just ran into someone and I dropped my books and he help picked them up. Nothing happened at all," I said slowly trying to hold a smile back. "Mhm... Had fun in the hallway I take it? Who's the guy?" Bekah asked smirking. We got in the car. "Umm... no, just ran into a guy. No big deal," I muttered. I wish... She flipped around from the front seat, "What about the guy? Details now!" she practically shouted. She put me off guard, "Ok, ok, so I went to my locker grabbed my things and when I left I ran into a guy and dropped my books. It turned out it was Noah and he wanted my number, so I gave it to him end of story," I finished. Bekah gave me a weird look. "You ran into Noah Woodard and he wanted your number, really?" "Yes." "Sure. No offence, but a player wanted a nerds number doesn't happen, like, ever." I rolled my eyes. "Ah, no offence taken. I just was making out with your brother." Elijah and Bekah gaged. I bursted out laughing. The rest of the ride was quiet besides the music playing. When we arrived at my house I hopped out and said, " Thanks. Sorry Elijah for saying that I had too," then went inside. "Yea it's fine." "Byes."

I went inside and looked at the time, 8:30.  Crap I still got homework. I'll do it tomorrow. Ding! It was my phone I grabbed it out from my back pocket while I threw off my shoes.

Hey!! :p It's Noah.

Hey :) Mai here

What's up?

Not much going to get some food. You?

Watching TV.... So what do you do for fun? :p

Um... I'm listen to music, draw and a golf and tennis player

Ohh really? umm I'm a wrestler (duh XD) and a gamer pretty simple.

LOL

I grabbed out some pizza from the fridge and stuck it in the microwave The house was always quite from my parents always working. I've been alone most of my life. I became my best friend and also my worst nightmare. But who had to know that...  Ding!

You a gamer?

Not really my friend is.

Oh cool. :p so you think I could see you around? If you have the same lunch and things maybe...

Sure :) what lunch do you have?

First. you?

Same I'm usually in the courtyard if you want to hang out with a nerd like me. XD

Nerds are cute though. Well the one I met tonight is n_n :p see you tomorrow nerd then.

If he only saw my face go 50 shades red...

 Umm... thanks... your the only guy that has called my cute.  I guess I will  see you tomorrow then... jock.What's so special about nerds though?

Really?!?!?! Your extremely cute... They're smart and sweet and If you get lucky they're pretty but that's a bonus to me and I think I got lucky :)

Awe n_n Your not the typical jock are you?

Nope, but you're not the typical nerd... :p I gtg see ya tomorrow nerd :P 

Well monday. I will talk to you tomorrow. n-n

For once I somehow felt a little better than I typically felt in a long, long time. I felt happy and that scared me shitlless. I threw my plate into the washer and then I went upstairs to my room. The sweet scent of lilacs filled the room. The room was medium sized.  there was a soft blue with the bed on the far side of the room with my dresser to the other. I grabbed out my sweatpants and a tank out of my drawer and flipper on my cd player that was playing My Chemical Romance. I walked into the bathroom witch connected to my room.

I looked into the mirror I had medium bob  hairstyle now due to a pixie cut 6 months ago; I had it dyed to a soft blue and purple laced through it that made my soft blue eyes and round face look like those girls who look beautiful in anything, but the glasses made me look like a geek. I had a curvy hour shaped body,that I hated because I had a few extra pounds on me. I couldn't see any one looking at me and going 'that girl right there, ya, her she's mine,' but yet here I am with a guy wanting to say that. I still didn't see what Noah saw in me, but whatever it was it made me feel worth something. He made me in that five minutes feel like I was important than in the rest of my life if trying so hard to be worth something.

I quickly changed into my sweats and tank top and walked back into my room and flipped off my cd player to go to bed. when my phone went off.

Goodnight cutie sleep well :)

I smiled ear to ear. I knew he wasn't good for me, but I wanted to be able to live again and if it only last two weeks so be it. I wanted to live for once. I wanted to be alive in the hellhole I lived in.
