DIAMONDS ❀ SCREAM

1 | YOUTUBE EXTRAVAGANZA

      The sounds of the harsh fall winds slapping the large tree branches against the windows of the Young house was a usual. The potent smell of chai tea that filtered around Ava's room, left a sense of pure joy. Her head filled with an ecstatic high, causing goose bumps to appear along her arms as she laid her head against her plush carpet. Her body was buzzing with excitement as she continued her read, the beautifully crafted book that she held tight caused a shiver to flow freely down her back, the softness of the carpet, increasing her joy. In a matter of seconds her happiness fled, the incoming guilt forcing it's way up her throat as the book that she held so tightly, flew into the wall while the door slammed open.

"I'm gonna ignore that." Noah spoke softly, his eyes shifting from the cast aside book to the blushing brunette laying haphazardly on the floor. In a flash he ran towards the laptop that sat atop a thick chair, covered in various clothing items before zapping towards the ground. "You better watch this because you have some explaining to do."

"How did you get into my house?" She mumbled, her eyes examining a dark curl that circled around her index finger. Noah pulled out a silver key, the letter A painted in thick hot pink nail polish at the tip. She smiled a memory of the duo resurfacing; only for it to be broken the the practically livid boy standing in front of her.

"Stop talking and watch." He heaved, clicking the familiar link. Her body shook as he sat, his body inches away from her own. The awkward tension was enough to make her squeal and remove her focus toward her dented phone. "I'm serious. Watch."

The video started just how Ava remembered it, the camera quality was shaky and muffled giggles overlapped the sound of the two girls in the dimly lit car. The clip was short, mainly because it was suddenly cut off by a voice yelling at the person filming to cut it out. Noah let out a huff and refreshed the video while Ava lost interest, her focus zeroing in on her phone that chimed with a new text message every few seconds. Eventually the silence between the duo thinned out causing Noah to start his spastic questioning session of his arrival.

"I know you filmed the video." He accused, his hands making its way into his hair as he fiddled with the various cow-licks that stood straight. His eyes shifted from her own to the laptop that had now been placed into a loop, the numbers growing with each citizen of Lakewood posting the video. Whilst Noah was practically shaken to the core about the sudden rise of the video, her still managed to focus the small amount of rage he had and throw it towards the bemused Young girl.

"I mean, I'm practically horrified that your bi-curious partner in crime had just managed to out herself without giving anyone a warning. It's clearly ruining my life, not to mention that she's licking the uvula of an innocent Catholic school girl? What a shame."

She let out a snort, her eyes falling onto the ring that had been splayed on her thumb. The simple silver band was too loose against her other fingers due to the constant twisting and turning that had rendered it's simplicity. She fiddled with the ring before speaking up once more, her smile fading as Noah let out a scoff. He stood up, stepping away from the girl who laid on the floor, her hair spiralling around her as it framed her small face while she played with a simple ring. Her entire figure poured out innocence, but after years of friendships Noah knew the snake that hid beneath the walls that Ava put up.

"Though, contrary to your belief I did not film the video. I simply watched in horror as Nina did and then stopped her before it continued on for too long." She finally spoke up, her eyes scanning the concentrated glare that Noah sent her way. She smirked at his expression and lazily stood up, dragging herself toward the abandoned book that rested face forward. ignoring the pestering look that Noah continued to send, she sat down, deciding to finish her daily read.

"Seriously?"

"What? I was bored of you staring at my angelic face." She teased, propping the book against her knees. Her lips curled upwards as she drank in the annoyed expression that was plastered on Noah's face. Giggles bubbled over as he paced around the large room, his hands pulling at his hair while he mumbled incoherently. "You really are quite the gem."

"I have to find a way to take this down." He answered, ignoring her questioning look. "I'll see you tomorrow at school."

"Oh you don't want to stay?" She hummed, her focus already falling onto the book that she held once. He rolled his eyes and turned around, ignoring the buzzing that came from her phone and the laptop that laid still on the ground with Audrey's video haunting him, the comments flooding with horrid students making fun of the poor girl. Ava glanced up watching his slumped figure in confusion, her mouth opening before a sentence even filtered it's way through her brain. "I hope you know starting at the screen won't make her straight."

"Goodbye Ava." He grumbled stepping out the door before side stepping back in. He let out a low breath, thinking of his words as if he was preparing the worlds biggest comeback to a heavily implanted diss. "Oh, just letting you know, your sisters back in town."

"Great."

A/N hells yes I restarted this and kinda changed everything whoops. It's just that I wasn't happy with how I started the fic and felt like the plot line was all wonky & shit. So here it is, whispers (or should I say diamonds) revamped.
