A Gentle Reminder

Chapter 8

September 5, 2019

For the whole week I was hanging out with Noah, he seemed nice, he takes care of me, he knows what makes me smile, he even gave me a bouquet of roses, which was so nice of him, although I was allergic to roses,

"How was Noah?" Charlotte asked while we were walking to the hallway, about to go to lunch,

"He was nice to me, he gave me flowers, roses to be exact," I said, I don't know if I should feel safe around him, Charlotte looked at me, pointing at me,

"Aren't you allergic to roses? Are you okay? Noah's so stupid," she asked worriedly, I chuckled and shook my head,

"It wasn't his fault, he didn't know," I answered, she sighed softly as we continued walking, she hummed, about to say something,

"Remember Chul Daewon?" She asked, I hummed, nodding, if I can recall, he's the captain of the basketball team and is Korean,

"He's at our table, he just came home from Korea," she said, that made my social anxiety go up, not really, it just scares me that he might see me and be disappointed that their new friend, sucks,

As we got inside the lunch table, I already spotted probably Chul Daewon, he was sitting with James, Elias, Max, Beau, Lyne, Raven, Alan and Xylene, everyone was there, including Noah?

We are now standing in front of the table, Charlotte looking at Chul Daewon with a smile,

"There you are Char, I thought you didn't want to see me," he said, Charlotte rolled her eyes and shook her head, while Chul Daewon was looking at me,

"Ah, Dae, this is Solace, my cousin," Charlotte introduced, I waved at him, softly smiling, as he gave me a nod,

I was a little bit confused as to why Noah was here though, Charlotte hated his guts,

"Why's Noah here?" Charlotte asked, and I was right, Daewon drank his coffee and sighed,

"Char, come on, give him a chance, I heard he was courting her?" Daewon said, looking at me, which made my anxiety worse, my hands were shaking and sweating,

Charlotte and I sat down, I was sitting beside Noah who was on my right and Xylene on my left,

"Hi Xy," I greeted, she smiled and waved at me, whenever Xylene smiles, her eyes faded, which is a pretty thing to see, she held my hand to calm me down as I whispered a thank you,

"Hey, Noah," I said, he gave me a grinned smile, and gave me a nod, I chuckled and shook my head.

The rest of the time in the table, everyone was happy to see Daewon again, which was nice, and so when everyone started leaving one by one, I was left with, Noah, Max and Daewon at the table,

I looked at the time and saw that the bell was so close to ringing, I stood up and smiled as the two followed, I looked at them confused, probably because they also have classes,

"I'll see you guys around?" I asked, Noah grabbed his backpack and walked towards me,

"What's your next class?" He asked, I cleared my throat and licked my bottom lip,

"Math," I replied, he hummed and nodded, putting his arm around my shoulder, Daewon just stayed sitting, watching as the tension got worse,

"I have the same class, Walk with me?" He asked, I thought about it as Max gave a small chuckle, sighing as Daewon, Noah and I looked at him, confused,

"I'll bring her there," Max said, Noah glared at him, his jaw clenching, what in the fuck? I really wished Charlotte was here to take me, because I can really feel the tension between the two boys,

"We have the same class, you have gym, so I will bring her there, what's the point of you bringing her there when you're not even in the same class as her," Noah fought, Max's hand clenched, this is annoying honestly, the fuck are they even fighting about? I faked a cough and smiled at them,

"Fuck it, She's coming with me, stop being so immature," Daewon suddenly said, he stood up and grabbed his bag, walking towards me,

"let's go," he whispered, I looked at Noah and bid him goodbye as Daewon and I left the lunch room,

"Thank you," I said, as he gave me a slight nod, we both have the same class, which was good, so we both walked together, he was so nice,

"Excuse Max, he's just.. overprotective of his friends," he said, I smiled, nodding understandably,

"May I call you Won?" I asked, it was very random of me but I wanted to ask so that I can call him easily, he thought about it for a while and hummed,

"Sorry, that's what my mom calls me, but sure," he said, I smiled as we continued walking,

"Nice to meet you then Won," I said, he chuckled, smiling, it was also very nice of him to allow me to sit next to him,

this is the true definition of being mature, I didn't like the way Max and Noah fought earlier, I find it annoying to the point that I almost walked out of that lunch room.
