A Game of Love

Chapter 2

**Noah's POV**

I finally reached home after a long day out and got some rest. Emily and I had secrets and I don't think she planned on sharing them with Camille. She would probably freak if she knew about what happened. I didn't want her to think that I was a bad guy. After all, I'm sure I changed.

How was ur new school bro! Seen any girls worth going after yet?
-M

I received a message from my best friend, Mike. I transferred schools as my family moved and my school became really far away.

Haha apparently Emily goes to that school! Her best friend seems cool ;) -N

I wasn't sure why, but my feelings for Camille came pretty quickly. I bet she won't like me. Emily probably made up more stories about me so that Camille would stay away from me. There's no harm in trying though. I started thinking of asking her out. But what if she says no? I don't want to get rejected...

Noah, stay away from Camille. She's my best friend and I don't want her to get hurt. Please stop talking to her in class.
-Emily

Wow. Was she serious? Well that hurt.

Firstly, ouch. Secondly, I'm not going to hurt her. Why can't I just make friends? Please remember that I'm a transfer :/ -N

She never replied me after that which made me a little sad but I put aside my phone and went to start on my homework.

Hey Noah :) I missed you! Come back to school! -♥

The next message I received was from my ex-girlfriend in my previous school. She obviously couldn't accept the fact that we had broken up long ago and had continued to send me messages. I didn't tell her that I moved away and so she thought that I was sick. When I was doing my homework, I heard my doorbell go off. Next came footsteps pounding up the stairs, followed by incoherent shouting, and knocking on my bedroom door. Curious, I swung open the door and Mike ran in, tossed a huge bag onto my floor and gave me a big hug. "What are you doing here mate!" I stared at his backpack that looked like it was about to explode any second. "I missed my best bud so I came to stay for the weekend! Anyway, your family always welcome me over," He couldn't stop grinning and automatically went to my cupboard to pull out my extra matress.

"So tell me all about this new girl!"

"Her name's Camille, she's best friends and bedroom neighbours with Emily, and she seems cool!"

"Going after her?"

"I want to but Emily told me to stay away from her," I pretended to look sad and depressed.

"Ask her tomorrow then! Before Emily tells her anything," He gave me a look that seemed to say 'I bet i just gave you a great idea'. It was a great idea. Almost immediately, I grabbed my phone amd texted Camille.

Hey again! Can I meet you tomorrow? I really wanna ask you something extremely important.
-N

I waited for the reply by talking to Mike about the previous school. It had been a month since I left but I only just started school here. 30 minutes passed - no reply. An hour passed - still no reply. After two hours, my phone finally beeped.

Hey sorry I was at Emilys'. Yeah sure I'm free :) -C

I felt relieved and quickly arranged a time and place. After dinner, Mike and I continued talking until we went to bed. I somehow couldn't fall asleep- I kept thinking about the right and less creepy way to ask her out when I met her the next day. But thankfully I was worn out and managed to fall into a deep sleep.
