(they sat across with their legs criss-crossed on the floor, facing each other in the library )
"favourite book?"
"that's a hard question…"
"the book that you like the most right now then"
( alice rolled her eyes around, thinking. as if her thoughts were bobbing around the iris of her eyes. noa watched curiously )
"i think.. the 'faults in our stars' "
"then character crush?"
"charlie. charlie as in -"
"the guy from 'perks of being a wallflower'? not augustus waters?"
(alice blushed)
"well… i like him too."
"oh alice, that's horrible"
(the red hue on alice's cheeks brightened. noa just chuckled)
"what's yours then?"
"wendy"
"but she leaves peter pan in the end"
"that's exactly why. i like independent woman"
(noa wiggled his eyebrows. alice kicked him.)
"what? at least i don't like two people at the same time"
"really?"
(it came more as whisper)
"what do you mean by that?"
(the playfulness in noa's voice faded)
"i don't think your girlfriend likes me very much…"
"elizabeth? what about her?"
"i don't know…"
(alice played with her thumbed, trying to search for a distraction)
"i'm sure it's nothing"
(but noa still frowned)
"i think i have to go…"
(noa stood up to head out)
"wait, noa... call me tonight?"
"of course."
(noa gave a finally smile and walked out. and alice sat alone...)
