Breaking The Rules

From the minute I stepped foot into Noah Allen's room, I knew I wasn't leaving just yet. Him not being here gives me the benefits of being able to look through his room, entirely.

I guess you could say I have a little crush on him, but that's all he'll ever be.

Not only because of the fact that I'm his sisters best friend, but also the fact that he's a senior. A high quality, good looking, senior.

He has girls lined up at the edge of his feet, and unfortunately, I'm at the end of the line.

My thoughts were caught off guard as a picture of him and his sister, Courtney. They were both so happy together.

The small picture frame was placed at the corner of his dresser, the image had a lot of meaning to it.

Courtney was on his back holding onto him tightly with a deep, cheeky smile, and Noah's head was tilted back in laughter. My lips curved and I felt my insides jump around as I examined Noah's features in the picture. I couldn't help but notice how his eyebrows raise up whenever he laughs hard. The littlest things draw my attention, Noah draws my attention.

I trailed over to the wooden shelf cornered up to the window, the pictures of his basketball team stood out from how much bigger it is from everything else.

That's something Noah and I have in common, we both have a passion for basketball. That's about the only thing we have that's even close to being similar.

Noah is a senior, and I'm a sophomore with a childish, pointless crush.

I've been friends with Courtney for years, and I bet he doesn't even know my name. I've been over here so many times, and I bet you he wouldn't recognize me. It might have something to do with him never being here.

Usually I see him down the school halls with his group of friends and usually a girl hooked to his side. I'm n-

"What are you doing in my room?" I turned around to see the familiar face, and I'm almost positive that my heart dropped a little.

I quickly turned around to face his confusing expression, gently knocking into the corner of his dresser and a small shriek escapes my lips.
