The boy with skinny jeans - 4

Chapter 4 - I'm so hungry I could eat a horse

" You two know each other ? " Mrs Field asked the both of us with a twinkle in her eye.

" Me and Bella are science partners , that's all mum " Noah responded,  actually saying my name right. 

" Well how about you show Bella around while I put this delicious pie in the kitchen , I might pop over to see your mum as well "

I know we're newly acquaintances but neighbours ? Maybe that's a bit too much .

" So where should we start " said Noah thinking out loud

" The garden ? " I asked

" Yeah sure "

As we walked through the main corridor , I couldn't help thinking that it looked exactly like our house . The doors,  the carpets,  the entire layout . When we reached the french doors to the garden , I looked at Noah , wondering if he would ever tell me about his dad . My dad travelled a lot with work which sometimes our family found difficult so I couldn't imagine what he was going through. 

" Belle are you going to come outside with me or are you gonna stand there all day ? " he asked,  again with his signature smirk .

" How many times do I have to tell you that my name is not Bell  ! " I shouted irritated. 

" Woah calm down , I didn't think it would bug you that much "

" Why else do you say it then "

" Because I think it suits you better , you know like the girl off beauty and the beast " he looked down to the floor. I think he just said that I suit a name of a princess,  was that supposed to be a compliment  ? He continued walking out the backyard in which I followed him . An awkward silence filled the air till...

" Oh my god ! " I yelled,  amongst the shrubs that lined the fence separating our houses , I spotted a basketball that looked familiar.  I ran to it , sure enough mine and Luke's initials were inked on the basketball .

" That's mine and Luke's ball ! "

" So... " I heard a voice say behind me

" So!  We thought it had been barbecued " he gives me a weird look

" Long story "

" So what's the deal with you guys ? Are you together or what " he asked looking me in the eyes.  I let out a chuckle.

" What?  Me and Luke? Never,  we're just best friends " I said positively,  he looked at me not so sure,  I shrugged him off .

" Look I'm sorry if I offended you its just I heard a few rumours " I was about to respond,  like what but then it suddenly clicked. 

" Who were you arguing with today ? " he stiffened.

" No one. "

"Didn't sound like no one " I responded. 

" Bella ! The foods here " My mum shouted over the fence ,  I completely forgot about that .

" See you tomorrow Belle " he winked,  returning to his normal self. 

" Bye fields " I called,  nearly at the door .

Once I got out the door , I quickly rushed over to my house and called Luke to tell him the food arrived.  I started taking out the food for when Luke got here because i know he will be starving .

" Bells?  "

" In the kitchen " I called

" I'm so hungry I could eat a horse " Told you. 

" Den ? " I nodded . When my family moved to this house which was just before I was born,  there was always an empty room . As I grew older it still didn't have a use so one summer me and Luke asked mum if we could make it into our den . Now me Luke and Em always hang out there and have sleepovers because my room is quite small .

" I see you've got new neighbours ! " Luke said as I entered the den

" Noah Field,  can you believe it!  Oh and guess what , I found our basketball " I told him excitedly

" Your joking , I thought they barbecued it ! "

" So did I "

" Anyway I wanted to ask you something , don't you think Em's acting a bit... weird "

" She seemed fine to me , probably just getting used to being at school again with people that aren't her grandma " I said,  taking a big bite out of my pizza .

" Yeah your probably right " Like always,  I thought
