Chapter 19 | Noah

First class was music. As I walked in the class, I spotted Emily. Great we even have this class together. I took a seat with a distance of 5 chairs between us. I sat in the row in front of her and took my phone out.

I chose music because of drums and guitars. I love to play both instruments, the drums even turn your anger into a badass music and a guitar just has the best tune. The class began playing different instruments, trying to form a song. It was so boring and since when did they start using triangles. What's the use of it?

I looked at my right and couldn't look away. She was seriously asleep in the first class. Her eyes were closed and just like before, her lips were parted. A few strands of her hair were fallen on her face.

"Noah!" Someone called out making me look away from her.

"Hey Kolen" I groaned.

"Why are you groaning in the morning - ahh" he said looking at Emily in the end.

"You got no one to annoy ?" He pouted. I rolled my eyes.

"Shut up if you'd like to live" I mumbled.

"Oh damn, I'm scared " He laughed.

"Okay students, we have a music competition so if anyone is interested I-" he stopped .

I looked at the direction he was glaring and it was the sleeping Emily.

He picked up his chalk, broke it into a tiny peice and threw it, making it land straight on her head.

"Ow!" She groaned rubbing her head. She looked so adorable. A confused and sleepy face. Nice.

"Miss Emily, last warning please pay attention" He growled.

Emily rolled her eyes and opened her closed book. She turned to her right and open the zip of her bag looking at the teacher.

The teacher and the class was all gone for me. I was amused to see what she was doing. She took out a chocolate bar and kept eating it, keeping the book infront of her to make it seem she was reading.

The whole class passed and I still had my eyes on her as she tried to talk to a guy sitting a few seats away. He glanced at me and his eyes widened as I gave him a smirk, he just got up, gathered his things and ran away.

Emily looked behind to see what that guy was looking at and she looked at me. She glared at me as if I had something to do with it. It did have something to do with it indeed.

"Bro you can't just threaten all the guys to stay away from Emily" Kolen smacked my arm making me look at him.

"I didn't threaten them, I just told them to stay away." I shrugged.

"Oh really, you literally said that if you don't wanna have broken bones, stay away from Emily. If you look at her, talk to her or even touch her or bump into her, then look forward to being in hospital"

I rolled my eyes and walked out with him following me.

"You like her, just admit it" he said making me stop and turn towards him.

"Say that again and that threat goes for you too" I glared at him to which he laughed.

"So you do agree you threatened the whole school" he smirked making me groan and roll my eyes and I continued walking.

"You didn't deny " He yelled as he walked towards his next class which was the opposite way. I knew exactly what he meant.

I like Emily? Impossible.

I went to my next class which was French. Great, just another Emily spice.

"Your late Noah." Ms. Claque stated as I opened the class door.
