Science of Owls

plainly annoying

Chapter 47 

School felt different for the next 3 weeks.

I could talk to Noodle like a friend and still muck around with him.

He'd often scruff my hair, or tickle me in between classes. Or I'd run up and rub his face or play with his lips a little.

He was truly like a guardian, he always seemed to have my back when we were around each other.

Or we'd have an amazing inside joke, share a game or some new music. Being his friend was a difficult job, but it was also had its perks. He was so funny and vaguely caring.

Amelia was sitting with me in Food Tech. She was actually being nice. She was also bleating out stories and information like a sheep on steroids. On the contrary they were all very interesting.

They were mostly about how she wasn't getting over Noodle that well, she was vaguely full of hate and vaguely full of regret. She knew what she had done wrong, and was sorry about it... but she didn't hate me for some reason dobbing her in.

Maybe she was too dense to understand that? Who knows with that girl, she still talked to Noodle too. Like he was still her boyfriend or something. She was less physical around him though. She would still rub his shoulder but she didn't cease to stop being around him.

That was plainly annoying. I could see that was teasing Noodle. His self-control levels must have been going through the roof!

I wonder if she knew she was doing that. I tried to tell her every once and a while too.

" hey , Amelia , you know what you're doing to him right?" I asked most Tech lessons.

" mmm?" she would always say, in a oddly innocent tone.

" you're teasing him, remember he kinda still likes you ?"

"yeah , but I guess we're just friends now"

" well, ok. Friend zoning a what not" I would mutter into my laptop.

She had her bitchy moments I guess.

Connie and Eve were becoming more and more involved with the guys group. The same group that Noodle was from. This was an advantage for me, because Connie and Eve were there too, so I was technically hanging around all my friends at once?He had more or less sild back into their group after he dumped Amelia. They were all pretty tight , and seemed to have his back.

A few of them even had girlfriends of their own , ( believe it or not), so they we're all empathetic.

I was concerned about Eve though. If she was his number two for being pretty... would hanging around her more and getting to know her be a problem.

This annoyed me late into the night, and often made me wake up from a deep slumber.

Connie was unaware of this. And I was tearing my hair out about it.
