Noelle | ongoing

Chapter 6

[HERO]

Jesus christ Noelle is definitely a control freak, she has to critique everything I do.

"Hero no, your spinning is crooked do you not know how to spin in a straight line?"

She shows me, I have absolutely no problem with her dancing for me. I do have a problem with her trying to make me dance.

I roll my eyes, "Can you calm down? If I don't get this right it's not the end of the world."

She glares at me, "It'll be the end of my  world." She made sure to emphasize the word 'my'

"Okay watch this, this move is called a ciseaux. It's basically a leap, I'll jump and one leg will be in front and the other in the back, okay?"

"I hope you don't expect me to do that," I raise my brows.

"No, but you can try, now hush and watch."

She gets in position to do her little leap thingy. Next thing I know she kicked me...in the face. I cover my face with both of my hands.

She places both her hands on my wrist, "Oh my god I'm so sorry are you alright?"

I remove my hands from my face, "I'm fine."

"Um...are you blushing?"

"What?! No, where'd you get from?"

I'm definitely blushing but it's because she's still touching me, and her hands are warm. She's closer to me, more than she usually is. I've only known her for less than a week and I'm so intrigued by her.

"I got the idea from your face."

***

The class end and Noelle goes into the locker room, I wait in the hall for her. A few minutes pass by and she's finally out.

"Where are you going?" I ask.

"My next class."

Dammit, I also need to go.

"Oh yeah, well what are you doing after?"

"I'm going to see my family at the airport."

"You're asking too many questions, I'll see you tomorrow."

"At what time?"

After that, she goes to another professor's class. My phone beeps in my pocket.

PARKER: Hurry up I'm in the car.

ME: Okay.

I put my phone back into my pocket and go to the car.

I enter on the passenger side.

"Do you have Avery's number?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Can I have it? I need to know how to make Noelle like me."

"Maybe start calling her Elle that'll give you some extra points."

I blankly stare at Parker, "No, the name Noelle means like Christmas or something and that's my favorite holiday."

And I want her to be my favorite person.

Um...how many chapters do you guys think a slow burn should...burn because tbh Idk how many to do until Noelle finally caves in just a bit. Ok bye until my next update lmao.
