oh my god. that blonde beauty i saw on the bus was standing beside me. and he had just seen me fall over.

"hey, you okay?" he says, squatting down while giving me his hand.

i look at him, jaw open in shock and awe. he's even better looking up close.
common sense hits me and i take his hand and stand up with him. his hands were so big. and sweaty but i didn't mind at all. i wish i could've kept some of his sweat in a bottle.

i'm now stood infront of him, looking up at his welcoming brown eyes.

"oh my god. i'm sorry. i blanked. yes i'm okay i just... fell." i blurt out in panic.

he laughs softly, "yea.. i saw you fall." he laughs once again.

my eyes widen in panic. he saw me fall sideways off my bike then saw me rubbing my knee in pain and mumbling swear words. god this is so embarrassing. i can feel my face flushing.

"don't worry, it's probably because you were listening to music." he says, bending down to pick my bike up.

my eyes follow him as he lifts it up with one hand and passes it to me.

"thank you." i mumble quietly.

"no problem. just be more careful, okay? and you might wanna put a plaster on that.." he saysp, pointing at my knee.

i look down at my knee then back up at him and laugh. he smiles at me and puts his airpods back in. he then puts his hand in his pockets and walks past me, slightly brushing me with his arm.

i stare straight forward, trying to process what just happened. a few seconds later i look back, watching him walk away. tilting my head, i admire him. his hair bounces as he walks. i chuckle to myself as he suddenly turns around. i panic and awkwardly wave at him. he does the same, laughs and turns the corner.

i throw my hands into my hair and basically fall to the floor squatting. god this is so embarrassing. not to mention i look like absolute sh*t but pretty blonde boy from the bus also saw me fall over. i cringe and scrunch my face just thinking about it.

standing back up, i put my headphones back into my ears and hop onto my bike. i turn the volume to max, and cycle as quickly as i can. my feet move as quickly as the anger boiling my blood.

noah's pov.

"die, die die!!!!" i shout in anger at my friends.
"oh my god. ur so sh*t aaron, you made me die!!"

"oh shush noah." i hear him mumble through the microphone.

the round ends as we lost the game. i bang my desk lightly in anger and squeeze my fists.

"hold on, i'm gonna go get some water." aaron says.

"okay."

just as i take a sip from my water bottle i hear a loud clang. then another, and followed by two more. i fumble my eyebrows in confusion and head over to my window, peeking through the blinds. i scan my street as i notice a girl on the floor, with bleached, long blonde  hair and a bike next to her. i watch her sit up right and rub her knee, in pain im guessing. she was wearing a bright blue big shirt and longish white socks. i watch her yank out her wired headphones and ball up her fists in anger. my eyes paint her body up and down when she throws back her hair, and it hits me.

that girl was evie. the weird one who sits behind me in spanish. the awkward one who bursted into my class last period. the one i made eye contact with.

i laugh when i realise it's her. i don't know why but she just gets on my nerves. the whole shy, awkward persona. the way she looked at me when she accidentally came into our classroom just angered me. it almost looked like she was disappointed when she saw me looking back at her. she probably wanted my attention as she wants every bodies. but she's not getting it.

i watch her rub her bleeding knee continuously. it almost feels a bit weird. like i was interrupting an intimate moment with her and her knee. god i wish i saw her fall over, it would've been so funny.

i giggle to myself thinking about it, but when i finally manage to open my eyes i notice a familiar figure walking towards her. he bends down and helps her up. i watch them talk, laugh and smile. i watch him help her get her bike back. i watch him walk off. i watch her look back at him lovingly. i watch her awkwardly wave at him. i watch her angrily get back on the bike and peddle quickly away. god. the two people i dislike interacting, but for some reason it angered me too? i mean, why should ben pretend that he's a nice person, and fall for her awkward personality? and why should she look back at ben with love in her eyes. she doesn't know who he really is.

"noah?" aaron shouts into my ear.
"oh yea, sorry aaron, i have to go" i say.
"wh-"
i cut aaron off and end the call before he asks more questions. how am i supposed tell him i felt my heart drop when i saw him talking with her?
