*this book is ins...
When we got to the house I went into my room and started to get ready.
Noah's parents knew we were going to the party. They thought it would be good for me to go and meet people.
I took a shower and started to blow dry my hair with my revlon hair dryer.
I finished doing my hair and started on my makeup.
I didn't want to do anything too crazy because I had a small feeling I might get into the water even though I wasn't planning on it.
I decided to go with my normal routine and I added white eyeliner in my waterline.
Once I was finished with my makeup I began to pick an outfit.
Because this was a beach party I decided to go with a dark blue bikini with a white button down and denim shorts.

Once I was officially done getting ready I texted the girls and let them know.
"okk my dad is gonna get you so you can ride with us." Mal sent.
"sounds good :)." I replied.
olive and mal hearted your response
I put my phone down and waited for them to text me while I put on some jewlery.
After about 10 minutes I got a notification.
"hereeee." Mal sent.
"lol okk." I replied.
I walked out and saw a cute little van with Mal and Olive in it.
I saw another van with Luka and Arlo that Noah was walking up to.
I got in the car saying thank you to Mals father. He smiled and drove us to the beach.
The girls and I were laughing the whole time on the way there taking pictures and having a good time.
When we finally got to the beach it was full. There were so many people drinking out of red cups and surfing.
"Bye dad." Mal said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for the ride sir." I smiled.
"You can call me John." He smiled. "Thanks John." I smiled back.
We got out of the car and I saw the car the boys drove in pulling up.
We decided to wait for them so that we could all walk up together.
When Noah came out I got a better view of him. He was wearing a pair of swim shorts and a black tee that hugged his muscles.
Woah.
They walked up to us and we started to walk to the beach.
In the corner of my eye I noticed Noah staring at me. "Stop staring at me creep." I said immediately making him flash that heavenly smile.
"Let's not act like you weren't eyeing me down a minute ago." He whispered into my ear.
I looked at him shocked he noticed and he just laughed walking away.
We made it to the party and immediately the boys started drinking and the girls too.
"Here Isadora." Olive handed me a red cup. "No thanks, I don't drink." I politely declined.
"Wow the troublemaking daughter doesn't drink?" Olive joked. "Ironic right?" I laughed.
If only they knew the real reason I don't drink was because of my absent alcoholic father.
Olive and I were talking when I saw Noah and some girl making out. "Ew." I said to Olive making her turn around to look.
"Yeah he does this every time, it's gross." Olive agreed.
I don't know why but something in me wanted to rip that girl off of him. I need to stop looking.
Mal came up to us jumping. "Let's go play flip the cup!" She spoke excited.
"Isadora doesn't drink." Olive said to her. "Hey it's fine. I can cheer you guys on." I smiled.
"Yay!" Mal spoke as she grabbed our arms pulling us to the table.
"Cmon Olive you can do this!" I yelled cheering her on.
"Let's go Olive!" Mal cheered with me.
And she won.
"Yes!" Mal and I both screamed.
I went off to go get some more cups when I felt a pair of hands on my waist.
Oh hell no.
I turned around pushing the guy off but that only made him grab harder.
"Get the fuck off." I spit in his face. He only smiled and continued. He was so clearly drunk.
I tried punching but it didn't work. He grabbed my hands roughly with a smirk.
All of a sudden Noah came up from behind and pushed him off.
"She said stop dick." He said to the guy as he was on the floor trying to get up.
"Aw is Noah protecting his girl?" The guy slurred as he got up.
People were now starting to look.
"Shut the fuck up and go home." Noah spoke angrily. "You can't expect me not to want to grab her when she's dressed like that man." He smiled looking at me.
Noah punched him in his face.
"Noah stop!" I yelled but he didn't care. He continued to punch this guy.
"Stop it!" I continued to yell.
He finally got off and he looked at me.
"Oh my gosh Noah. What the hell?" I looked at him with my hands covering my mouth in shock.
The guy was bloody.
I was embarrassed. Embarrassed that everyone got to hear what that drunk prick said. I could feel my face getting red.
"Isadora-" Noah said.
"Just don't." I replied before walking away.
I could see our friends just shocked at what happened.
"Alright everyone the shows over!" Arlo shouted to everyone.
Noah chased after me. "Isadora cmon."
"Why did you have to do that?" I asked angry. "Why did you have to hit him Noah?" I added.
"I..I don't know...He was being a dick." He said honestly.
"The things he was saying pissed me off and the fact that he grabbed you...it just all made me...I- I don't know." He spoke again looking down placing both hands above his head.
"I could've handled it Noah." I said softly.
"I know but I couldn't just let that asshole treat you like that." He replied looking into my eyes.
We stayed like that for a while. Just looking into each other's eyes before Luka came up to me asking if I was okay.
"Yeah, i'm alright." I said breaking eye contact with Noah.
"He's gone Isadora we kicked him out don't worry." He spoke softly.
Wow. He used my real name this time.
"Yo you good man?" Luka asked Noah grabbing his shoulder.
"Yeah i'm good." He said looking at me.
"Alright let's continue to party yeah?" Luka smiled cheering us up.
We laughed and began walking towards the party again.
