Against The Notorious Bad Boy: Fifteen

ATNNB Fifteen

Two weeks had shoot by – not shot by. That sounded and made much better sense. That partly made no sense to me. But now, the only that made sense to me is that two guys are on my mind - Noah and Alex. I mean when does anything make sense to me? I’m still clueless about Alex’s behaviour at the party to currently; he has been either A) avoiding me completely or B) too busy. This would be ideal for any other chick that two guys are on their mind but I’m not normal as you heard me from my previous insane thoughts/comments.

Noah and I had been getting together after school and also, hanging out in school. Ben, Cassie and even Gina have been teasing me that we will be cutest couple however, I fully protest that we won’t even date each other. It’s simple and besides, I never dated any guy in my life due to my unfortunate and idiotic brother despite the fact – I don’t live with him anymore. Recently, Noah and I had joined our after school music club where a few people like us wanted to perform music.

“So, would you like to hang out at Carol’s Diner after this?” Noah asks whilst packing his guitar in his case. Okay, hanging out even more – well, this could go in a good way or bad way? Besides me making a fool of myself and stuttering around him. I say, why not? Might as well get the free food if he is paying.

“Sure,” I say. “If you are paying.” Noah genuinely smiled at my comment. I love that smile – it is so inviting compared to Alex’s face which is always either smirking or murderous. Why am I thinking of Alex at a moment like this? Ugh. I’m such a girly girl.

“Cool.” Noah finished packing the rest of his things. He holds out his hand indicating I should hold it. I don’t know if my body is able to respond. Now, I’m freaking out holding a guy’s hand – how weird can I be? Don’t even answer that question because you read my story so far and unfortunately, it is completely different.

“Kara?” Noah interrupted my crazy thoughts. His facial expression looked worried. Great, now he thinks I’m a psycho!

“Let’s go.” I grabbed his hand without thinking and raced out of the music room.

We both reached Carol’s Diner in matter of ten minutes from school. We sat at an empty booth and ordered our meals and drinks. Carol’s Diner is the most amazing diner and also our local diner. It is known for its delicious juicy burgers and the perfect chilled milkshakes homemade. If only I could show you.

“So, I noticed you and Alex seemed close,” Noah said folding his arms. I held his gaze for a few minutes whilst coming up with the best excuse. I thought he hadn’t noticed it when he came in the kitchen during the party but I guess he had. I completely avoided Alex in my though – okay, almost. But still, he had mention Alex again.

“Yeah,” I say slowly. “Well, he never noticed me before. I – he – I get - he saw me and thought I was a good bang or something.” Stuttering so helped me there. Crapiest lie ever. Also, face palm – I mean who says good bang anymore? Noah didn’t look convinced at all.

“Well, I heard he is quite the huge popular guy in our school.”

“Yeah, he is and so is Blake and Chase,” I reply. Why he is so interested him of all of sudden? I mean the attention should be on me. Oh god, I sound like one of the Barbies at school.

“Yeah, rumours have circling around that his ex from before is coming back apparently. Nothing has been confirmed.” That sentence made me freeze in my spot. His ex?! I can’t remember her name. I know she was popular but disappeared right after Alex dumped her. At the time, I was living at the hell hole with my drunken mother and idiotic brother – the whole town thought she had run away or been kidnapped but her family confirmed they were moving. Even others thought Alex has something to do with her disappearance but nothing was confirmed. Just like Noah said – they were rumours.
