Science of Owls

don't fall

Chapter 20 

By now it was at least a good 7 weeks into the term and I was already losing my mind.

School work was on overdrive and my head was a mess.

Small exams kept my mind of Noodle and Amelia, which was great. All I could think about was interrupting their sweet reality.

He had been slowly introduced to her group of friends. I had a feeling that this was how he had such a broad range of friends back at his other school. Developing new ones and keeping the old close... he had a smart plan... like he was building his army.

One day it was raining , I was staring out the window mindlessly.

I felt a presence next to me, warm, comforting. Something only I could dream about now.

" Nazz" he said, taking out my left ear phone and putting it in his own ear.

" give it back Noodle" I said, I wasn't really in the mood to talk to him.

" naa, I wanna listen to your green day" he said , and tugged a little at my hair.

" stop it" I said, smiling a little.

" see, I can always make you smile" he grinned.

" shut up , what do you want?" I snapped , pulling back my ear phone.

" fine then... I was going to say we haven't done a meet up in a while, this weekend good?"

" I thoughts you'd be doing something with Amelia , I mean you two are pretty fucking close!" I said, maybe a bit too angrily for my own safety.

" whoa... yeah I guess" he said, his face moving into a confused frown. " is that what's been bugging you! You don't like Amelia?"

" bugging me, it doesn't bug me!" I snapped.

" great , then you won't mind coming to mine with everyone on the weekend?"

" wait what... I thought you were asking me to play soccer as usual?" I asked , now confused.

" that was a warm up, I want you to come over with the guys and Amelia to watch a few movies"
" tell me who else is going and your address then..." I said sulkily and continued to stare out the window.

" great , stop being so grumpy" he said and punched me in the arm.

" don't hit girls you bastard!" I snapped again.

" sorry, what girl" he grinned and moved back to his seat , back to his phone...back to Amelia.

I wasn't looking forward to the weekend, there was going to be at least 7 people there and Amelia.

I was guessing I was going to be one of the only girls there as well... then I'd be forced to talk with her. Clever bastard had the upper hand, in his house, under his rules... anything could happen.

By the time the weekend came I wasn't in the best mood.

Amelia and I had never really talked except to say "hello" in the bathrooms a couple of times. If today was going to be the way I thought it would... then I'd be in trouble.

I walked over to his place, I had to google search it first to make sure I was going the right way. He live only up the highway and down a few streets. The place was big, too big. He must have been rich , to own such a nice place. There were a few moving boxes out the front , empty and ready to be taken away.

" hey, Nazz get in here" Noodle came out of his front door.

" whoa.. didn't see you there... your house is huge!" I said in awe.

" not really, get in here every one else is in already" he said , guiding me through the house.

I stopped in the middle of the hall, and fake fell backwards on him . The pushed me forwards with immense force .

" don't make me carry you Nazz" he said.

" you wouldn't be able to anyways" I said quietly. I probably weighed more than him anyways...

There in his dark living room were 6 of his friends, most of them I knew and talked to regularly. I wouldn't have any issues from them, then I spotted the only female in the room... Amelia .
