Science of Owls

was she pretty?

Chapter 8 

Noodle POV

She looked slightly broken at this angle , like she was uncomfortable with the way her back was laying . She seemed fairly insecure about this topic.

That's not the usual question a girl asks, I mean aren't they supposed to be the experts here?

" erm" I finally stammered, I moved a little back from her .

" I don't have much experience in this, but I guess you just know" , my mind was legitemently going blank.

" but there's got to be some kind of feeling you get right?" she asked, putting her hands on her stomach. She always wore cool shirts, today it was a doctor who singlet.

" I suppose... Maybe you feel nervous around them, sweating , couldn't it be like that?" , I was running out of things to say.

" so physical signs are one thing? What did you feel the last time you liked some one?" she looked at me, her almond eyes were such a pretty hazel. Outlined in green and a beautiful brown colour, they were quiet fierce when she was so serious.

" erm... " I took a moment to remember my last love.

" well back at my old school, there was one girl" I paused for effect. " I don't know, I tried to show off to her by getting to the top of this wall. I was trying to par core my way to the top"

" and then?" , she moved to look up at me as I was story telling.

" well, I got half way, then fell off" , I looked down at her smiling.

" haha, my god your pathetic haha" she laughed, she had quiet straight teeth I realised, and such pretty pink lips.

" I am not, she loved my broken arm thank you" I laughed, " that was my playing card , that I broke my arm for her , she loved it and so did I"

" stop grinning, you hurt yourself! For a girl, who now is not with you" she laughed and reached up to touch my chin. She patted it.

" well it felt great, I mean , there was something about the chase she put on! Man that was fun!" I grinned remembering the familiar face of that now distant girl.

" was she pretty ?"

" my god yes!" I said , and began to describe to her what this other girl looked like, she listened intently.

" did anything happen between you, I mean , erm, did either of you make a move?"

" move... well yeah actually. One of my friends just asked her out for me and we went out for a while" I trailed off. That was probably the biggest mistake.

" and was it good?"

" yes , it was for a while"

" I'm sorry, that's painful" she said , the atmosphere dropping to a grim state.

" why do you want to know what it feels like ?" I asked, suddenly realising , that maybe this was leading to something more.

" well, I don't really-" she began .

" Ohhhhh do you like someone ?!"
