I stare at the familiar face smiling down at me. Noah Derhath THE NOAH DERHATH. My idol. The one that kept me going through all my struggles. My hero is standing right in front of me. In my school.

"Look, I know this might be weird. I mean it's not every day you’re cornered in a deserted hallway by a tall dark and handsome stranger. Don't freak out. I'm not going to hurt you. It's just I've been looking for you for a very long time. Do you remember me?"

"Uh... I know who you are. You’re Noah Derhath. The greatest guy alive. But I've never met you personally. Sorry. I think you have the wrong person."

"No, it's you alright. You just don't remember me. But trust me. You will. Meet me at Starbucks after school. I have to show you something" and with that he was gone. 

Walking down to the Starbucks I start to get nervous. What if this is some cruel prank. What if he realizes it really isn't me he is looking for?

I am forced to swallow my fears as I open the door to the air conditioned cafe. A quick glance around the room leads me over to a table in the back where Noah is seated. 

"Hey, Noah. What did you want to talk to me about?"

"Oh hey Soal. Here's you hot chocolate."

"How did you...?"

"Know you like hot chocolate? I know more about you than you think. I know you're allergic to coffee; you hate artificially flavored grape products. I know you are freakishly smart and you hate breakfast food. I know you love reading and writing and you have a weakness for cute things. I also know you love chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, but only the turkey hill brand, and that you live with that abusive dirt bag Brady. I also know that you have been having nightmares about the day your parents were killed."

I stare at him, shocked. 

"A-are you stalking me?" I start to get up but he pulls my arm, pulling me back down.

"Please don't freak out. I haven't been stalking you. I know all this crap about you because..... I'm your brother.
