The Last Wave I Encountered

Chapter 3

It's Friday and I am in math staring at the bell. Thirty more seconds. I hated math it was my worst subject. Ding! Ding! Ding! I grabbed my books and headed down the rows to exit. It was my lunch period. I get to see him again!!! I ran down to the basement to grab my things from my looker. The courtyard was just to the doors on my left. My heart raced.  Him, why him?

I could see my small group of friends sitting at the table outside chatting away at each other. I closed my locker then I walked outside to join them. The air hit my face. It was a nice spring breeze. Somehow I had hope that Noah would show up like he said but, after all it was just me. I knew he wouldn't, I was just a flirt of five minutes.... I could hear Bekah arguing with Vicky about what new book is better, Divergent or Delirium and Bri is staring into her phone most likely texting a friend of hers she met from omegle. I was glad that I was with these weird people I called friends.

"Hey,' I said to Bri.

"Hey girlie, you ain't missing out on anything going on. They are just book arguing again," she sarcastically put it, pointing to Vicky and Bekah who were still bickering. Bekah then looked over and flicked Bri off laughing. I rolled my eyes at them setting down my things at the table. "I'm going to go get some food, later," I gave the a peace sign and left.  How did we stay friends?  "Hurry up! I can't stand the girls book fighting anymore!" Bri yelled. I laughed to myself. Heading into the lunch doors to the cafeteria and went in.

 I weaved my way through the huddle of teens and made it to the lunch lines. Today's special was nachos or pizza. I swung into the shortest line which was the nacho line and then I paid for it.  I wanted to get out of that cramped cafeteria as quick as possible. I almost reached the doors when a voice kept yelling wait. I stopped and turned around to find It was him. It was Noah flipping Woodard.  My heart raced and I could feel my cheeks turn red.

"Wait!" Noah said finishing running up to where I was. he was slightly out of breath.

"Hey," I replied bewildered. "Care if I join you?" he said looking at my with his blue eyes looking at my face. "No, just have to deal with the rest of the group," I replied heading towards my table. "Ok,"he said. It amazed me that he just kept walking with me instead of going to find someone else to hang with.

I came to the table and every one stoped mid-sentence. "Noah, Bekah, Bri and Vicky. You guys Noah," I said pointing to each person. "Hey," Noah said while he wave his hand.

Everyone gave a wave back and went on their way talking again."Could we walk and talk?" Noah said ran his fingers through his short blond hair."Yea, sure " we walked down the small hill in the court yard.

"So what do you want to talk about," I ask. "Tell me about your self," he replied.

"I am 15. I play golf and tennis . Let see I have my lip pierced and two ear piercings. I love to read. I am into mcr, bmth, ptv and many others. You?"

"I'm 16. I'm a wrestler, I play video games and I'm the class jock as you say."

I glanced at him he had fair skin, blue eyes and a slender but, built figure. Somewhere in my mind that I aloud my self to fall for him. I just laughed," Yea, exactly. What I said." He just stared at me and smirked,"Your something." There was something about him. I just didn't know what it was just yet that I was falling for.

"Can I asked you something?" I said looking at my feet then glancing at his face. This was going to be so idiotic of me to do."Yea, what is it?" He looked at me. "So why exactly me, I mean there's all these other girls that are prettier and thinner than me but, why me?"

He faced me towards him and related his hands on mine. "When I saw you there was something different about you. Yea there might be prettier and thinner girls but, you form the moment I started talking to you something in me said you were different. That I needed you in my life. I don't know what I just know." My heart stopped. I didn't know what to say. This was something I never expect from anyone.

"Okay," I muttered. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to come out that wired," he muttered rubbing the back of his neck. "You didn't,"I giggled, "It's fine." Ding! "I got to go. Umm you think I could see you tomorrow," he asked I smiled, "Okay Jock." He gave me a hug and we went different ways. I headed up to my table to grab my books.

"So what's going on with you and Noah of all people?" Bri asked. This girl loved the scoop on everything. She wasn't going to let this down easy, I knew better. "He was just a person I met yesterday. No,big deal," I said heading to my classroom. "Sure, give it a week," she said giving me a smirk.

" Bye."

"Bye."

I went into English. I loved that class almost as much as Biology. The hour flew by fast. I had Band last hour. We were doing the piece Pop Culture. It was a mix of old TV theme songs and movies. The bell rang for the end of school. I hated going to my locker, it was the worst part of the day. I had to deal with a group of girls who were flat out rude. I would rush down the stairs to get to my locker to leave even though I was in no hurry to get to my locker because of tennis that started at 3:30.

I reached my locker the group was already there. "Damn!"I mumble. I walked up to my locker, "Excuse me." I looked at the group who slowly moved rolling thier eyes. I could here them whisper," Fat cow. Maybe she should stop eating and start working out more." I tried to pretend I couldn't hear them. They're a part of the reason I dread every morning coming to school. I finished putting my books in my bag. I slammed the locker shut and left heading outside to the tennis courts.

I needed to get my mind off of things. I grab a few tennis balls and pulled out my racket. Victoria would be out by 2:40; she comes ten minutes later. I start working on my serves taking my aggression out on the balls.

"Hey."

"Hey," I replied.

Tennis went by fast as usual. I got out and started my 2 1/2 mile walk home. I pulled out my phone to turn on my music. When I turned on the screen it said one new message. I opened it to read, Hey I know this is a shot in the dark but, I was wondering if you want to go on a date? I could feel my face turning three shades of red. I replied to it, I would love to !:). This day just got a whole lot better.
