The Midnights

Twisted Four

        I change and turn of the lights and turn on the bed light and get under the blanket. "So.. what happened today" max asks sitting on bed "Nothing, we had a new boy in our class that it". "What about him". "He's mom's bestfriend's son and Sam said that he  is a good at studies". "Ohh... So he's like you, he sounds interesting". "Is there anything more about him". "I don't know he just came to our school". "I really want to know about him, you talking about him makes me interested". "That's trash, sleep now". He gets under the blanket and soon falls asleep.
   
       I have a habit of looking at the stars at night, so I went to balcony and look at the stars, today the stars are shining more than ever. I saw a couple of stars and started joining them and they traced the letter "N". Then I heard the neighbours balcony door sliding open. I saw that it was Noah. The room I have a clear view of is Noah's room. I looked away right after cause he noticed me looking at him. "What are you doing" he asks "Nothing, I like looking at the stars at night". "Oh really..". "Yeah". "What's your name". "Mi-ra". "Mi-ra beautiful name, I'm Noah". "Hmm...". Then it's complete silence.

        I sit down on back to wall and my legs stretched. He does the same thing. Our balconies have an inch gap between them it's almost like they're touching. After sometime I go into my room and close the balcony door.

      I was walking to class when I saw Noah staring at the school notice board  I walked past him I was a few steps away from the classroom when I felt someone pulling my bag backwards. It was like almost off one of my hand I turned around, it was Noah, he was like one step apart from me. "Do you really think you are better than me at studies". "Yeah, ofcourse". "Do you wanna compete". "Why to compete, when I already know the answer". "You're scared huh...". "Who's scared of you, if you really want to compete against me let's see that in the upcoming monthly test". "Ok, Let's see who win's". I ignore him and walk to the classroom.

        I was writing when Issa came by "Hey" I say. "Heyy...  about your homework". "Yeah.. is there anything wrong in it, I thought it was fine" I say while writing my notes. "Yeah, yeah... It's fine, but about your book though". I look up at her, she was pointing at the seat beside me at "NOAH". "Ahh... What about him now!!". "Nothing,.. he just took your book from me and said he'll give it back to you". "Ok...". "Did he give it back". "No, not yet". "Ok just letting you know ask him if you want it, bye". I nod and she went to her desk.

       The bell was about to ring and he still didn't give my book back so I went and asked him. "Hey!" I say hitting my hand on his desk. "Yeah" he says coldly. "Issa told me that you took my book, I want it". " Yeah, I was just looking at the sums, there are some corrections, I did them with a pencil " he says while hold the book in his hand. I snatch my book from his hands, "Thank you" I say with a crooked smile and walk off. Then I sit on my desk and looked at what he corrected, to my absolute shock, he was right, I erased the one that he wrote with pencil and corrected mine.

       The street was empty, I was alone Issa didn't come with me she went with Sam cause she had some work with him. I was walking in silence the sun was setting it was all orange, pink filled sky it was beautiful. After a while I heard a cycle bell behind me, I looked back and saw Noah, he was riding his bike. I yelled at him "why are you ringing the bell in a freaking empty street". "To call you". "Why!!". "I saw that you changed your sums solutions". "The answers are correct". "But the solutions are crooked right". "Not every sum, it was only one" I say scoffing. Then I start to walk fast. He appears beside me and he not riding his bike anymore he is walking with me. "I am going to be on top of you in the monthly test" he said coldly mocking me. I just ignored him. We didn't talk the whole time.
