Once I'm out of my house I shut my window and look at Noah. He is wearing a white, long sleeve V neck, see through shirt and a black, thick hoody over it; he also has on regular jeans and some shoes that I can't recognize by brand. I look up at his chest and notice through his shirt some tattoos. I look up at his face to ask him about it and notice a lip piercing.

I thought he was hot before but something about his "bad boy" look is just down right, well.... sexy. I can't help but stare.

"Is this what you meant when you said you were only acting at school?" I ask him with a smile.

"Part of it." He says grabbing my hand and walking.

After what feels like an hour of walking through our neighborhood and then through some woods we finally reach this large circular opening with a very large rock close to the middle. I hear running water nearby but choose to ignore it. The opening is surrounded by more woods. I notice there's already a blanket on the rock and two pillows. I look up to see if there's a clearing through the thick trees and to my surprise I see stars. I start walking over towards the rock and Noah follows. Once I get closer to the rock, I see a book bag.

"What's in the bag?" I ask out of pure curiosity.
"Just snacks in case we get hungry." He states smiling at me.

I hoist myself up on the large rock and lay back on the pillow. Surprisingly, it's quite comfortable.
Noah joins me on the rock and lays back on his pillow. He looks over at me, and I can't help but smile. I feel him grab my hand. I get goosebumps just by his touch. I look over at him and just stare into his eyes. There were no words needed.

"Stop that." He says
"Huh?" I ask in confusion.
"You're.. You're biting your lip, it's a turn on." He says.
I laugh, and laugh until I feel him cup my face with his hand.

"You have beautiful green eyes." He says running is thumb against my cheek.
I don't say anything back, I just smile.
He gets up and walks over to the bag. He pulls out some strawberries and sits cross crossed right beside me. I sit up and laugh at him.

"What?" He asks giggling with a mouth full of strawberries.

"I figured you would have chips, and soda, and shit that's bad for you, but instead you pull out strawberries." I say laughing at him. I open my mouth gesturing for him to feed me a strawberry.

I shut my eyes tightly and he tosses a strawberry in my mouth. I feel a slight push downwards on my shoulder and I open my eyes to see Noah.
