1st Place

Kiss

Alex's POV:

Alex woke up the next morning very happy. The memories of her and Noah talking last night was flooding her mind. He put his hand on hers, he stared her in the eyes... it was just so perfect and very romantic.
Alex got out of bed and got some clothes on. She put on a white, lace, crop top and a floral skirt. Alex also added some white, leather flats. She never really second guessed her outfits because if she liked them, she wore them. Alex doesn't care what people like about her. They can say what they want and she won't care. Maybe that's because she is popular and has a lot of friends. She wasn't the "mean, popular girl" in the school. Alex always tried to talk to and be friends with people who weren't as popular as her. She has a very nice heart.
Alex went into the hall and put her ear up against Noah's door. She heard a laugh from inside. Alex opened the door, puzzled at why he would be laughing.
"You aren't very quiet." Noah laughed.

Alex walked over to his bed. "Shut up." She said as she pushed him over.

"Oh, you wanna fight?"

Alex raised her eyebrow.
"Really? You have the nerve to fight me?"

"I definitely do."

"Well then come at me bro!"

Alex ran out of the room as Noah got out of bed fastly and ran after her.
He caught up when she was by the couch. Noah pushed her down and went on top of her, holding her hands by her head. Alex looked terrified, and at the same time, she was giggling.

"I won." Noah winked.

"Not yet." Alex said while pushing him onto the ground.
She got up and ran into her room and slammed the door. The lock was almost turned when Noah barged in, hitting her in the face. Alex caught her balance again and held her forehead. Noah rushed over to her.

"Are you okay?! I'm so sorry!" Noah panicked.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"It was an accident."

"I know, I know."

Noah grabbed her waist and hugged her. He whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry." softly. Alex smiled and hugged him tighter.
When they pulled away, they stared into each other's eyes.

"Why does this always happen?" Alex giggled.

"I don't know, but your eyes are beautiful, just like you."

She was in shock by his respond so she just stared at him more. Alex closed her eyes and then she felt Noah's lips on hers. She leaned in to him. They were kissing softly. Noah pulled away and smiled at her, then walked out of the room.
Alex heard his bedroom door shut. She collapsed on her bed with her mouth open wide. "What just happened?" she thought to herself, several times. Her wish came true, and now she knew Noah liked her back, for sure.

Noah's POV:

Noah had been waiting to do that since yesterday. He knew that moment would've been right, and it was. He wished he didn't pull away from her soft lips. She was amazing to him. Sadly, he wouldn't be staying in the same apartment for much longer. At least they were still living by each other.

Alex's POV:

She finally got the courage to go into the living room and face him. Alex knew she shouldn't be nervous, but it was because he kissed her and she wasn't expecting it. She liked it.
She walked up to him.

"I'm sorry that happened. I just had to." Noah blushed.

"It's okay. I liked it." Alex said as she put her arm around him. She layed her head on his chest.
Noah rested his head on hers and they were in that position for ten seconds until they stopped.

"I'm so glad you like me back. I was so nervous around you and now I'm not because I know." Alex explained.

"I'm glad you like me too."

Alex smiled so wide that it made Noah smile.

"You are so cute."

"Thanks, you are too."

"Alex... I have a question."

"What is it?"

"Will you be mine?"

Alex was shocked, but at the same time she kind of saw it coming sometime soon.

"Yes I will!" Alex gleamed.

Alex and Noah hugged and had a quick kiss. Now that they were together, they were so happy that they didn't need to hide their feelings.

Noah figured out that he wasn't moving into his own apartment, he was staying with Alex. The fact that they were now together and lived together made them both excited for what will come in their relationship.
