EYES DON'T LIE

"Sooo, how was your date last night?" Liv asks me. "Liv, I haven't even opened my eyes yet." I tell her rubbing my eyes. "Yeah, whatever." "But it was fun." I tell her. "Mhm." She responds probably not believing me. "I'm serious. He even kissed me when he dropped me off." "Oh, my God, seriously?! He's desperate." "Liv, stop it. I had a good time. Don't ruin it." I tell her poking her arm as I walk towards the bathroom.

"Don't forget the party at the boys house tonight." Liv shouts. "They're having a party?! I love the fact that people enlighten me about this stuff." Not. "Yes girl. Be here at 8 so we can get ready together. See ya!" She finishes walking out the door.

Today I only had 2 classes, so as soon as I finished them I decided to go to the rink to skate for a bit. I put on some leggings and a crop top and put my skates in my bag. Kiara has classes so she's not able to bring me, that's why I'm just gonna walk there. It's a 20 minute walk but I don't really mind.

When I arrive I open the big doors and as I walk inside I see the hockey team practicing. Great. I didn't even know they had practice at this time. I decide to just go to the outside rink seeing as they're practicing inside.

When I tell you I'm not dressed for the outside rink right now, I'm not lying. I'm cold af. I just try to get it out of my mind and skate anyways.

I'm skating around, but suddenly I bump into someone. "Oh, I'm so sor-" I start, but when I look up and see it's Liam I stop. I sigh, "Look where you're going next time." He tells me. "Or just don't stand in my way next time." I spit back. He just stands there smirking.

I scoff at him as I skate away, but he follows me. How can someone be so annoying? "Will I see you tonight, love?" He asks me. "Nope." "You're not going?" "Oh, I'll be there. I'll just avoid you." I smile sarcastically as he scoffs at my respond. "Good luck with that, darling." He smirks.

He sees that my body's shivering and immediately pulls out his hoodie handing it to me. "What?" I raise my eyebrows. "Take it. You're freezing." "No, thanks." I tell him as I try to turn around. "For fucks sake, Noa. Just take it." I sigh and grab the hoodie from his hands putting it on.

I can see him looking me up and down as soon as I put it on. "Is Kiara picking you up?" He asks as I start walking and he follows me. "Nope." "Then what?" "I'm gonna walk." "No, you're not." "Yeah. I am." I smile sarcastically. We enter the parking lot and as I make my way to walk him I hear him yell again, "Get in." I turn around and see him standing next to his car. "I'm not getting in your car." "I may be an asshole, according to you, but I'm not the kind of guy who lets a girl walk alone when it's getting dark." "Okay. Good for you."

"Come on. We won't talk about this ever again. It's getting late, Noa. It's cold and dangerous." "I'd rather get kidnapped, than having to spend 10 minutes in a car with you." I state.

"Just get in, Noa." "No." He slams his car door shut and walks over to me. "Fine. Then prepare for a 20 minute walk with me." He says coming up next to me. "Liam. No." "Noa, yes. I'm not gonna let you walk alone right now. So, it's your choice, 10 minute car ride, or 20 minute walk?" I look at him to see if he's for real right now. Oh, he definitely is. "Urghhh." I sigh as I make way to his car.

The car ride was pretty quiet. Until we reach a red light. "Can I ask you something?" He breaks the silence. "You just did." I answer. "I'm being serious." "Fine." I tell him.
