Life Before You

Chapter 8

During the entire ride to school, I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss that Noah had given me. It felt good. 

This was the first time a guy had given me a kiss.

 When I arrived at school, Carla was already waiting for me. 

"You're going today???" she asked eagerly.

"Hi, Carla. How are you today?" I say sarcastically. 

She eyed me.

 I don't know if I'm going. I say 

"How come you don't know??? It's easy, either you're going or not, nothing complicated."

 "I want to go, but I've never been on a date with a guy before."

 "You mean you've never been on a date at all?" 

 'What's scaring you? I'm going to." 

"Noah's acting strange." 

"What do you mean, strange?"

 "It's just that I barely know him, even though he claims to have known me since we were kids, but I don't remember."

 "I see." 

"And now he wants to go out with me. Today, he waited outside to walk me to the bus stop, and he gave me a kiss on my cheek." 

"Hahaha, you're such a dummy! He likes you, it's so obvious, girl." 

"Do you think so?" 

"Of course! I saw how he kept looking at you, and he asked me to please convince you to go to the movies with him today." 

I hadn't really thought about that. 

Does Noah like me? 

What does he see in me? 

I'm just a simple girl. 

The million-dollar question is.

 Do I like him?
