Noah Schnapp - Will's Love Interest

Chapter Three- Instagram Ship

CARLEY'S POV

   "There isn't much to say." I said shyly.

Honestly there was a lot to say. There was freAking 10000 chapters about me, but they didn't need to know that. I wasn't ready to open up about my past right now.

   "I'm sure there is something." Caleb said becoming interested.

   "Everyone has a sob story I guess." I said trying to hide my smile forming on my lips.

   "Indeed." Millie said looking off into space.

   "Well, my favorite number is 3. My favorite color is purple. I enjoy readin-" I said before getting interrupted.

   "NO! You actually read my choice? Why would you torture yourself that way?" Gaten said frantically.

   I got that a lot. I told everyone the same thing. If you actually find a book you like it isn't that bad. Which is absolutely true, but that only 20% of the reason why I like to read.

   Sometimes I just don't like dealing with my life. When you read, your in someone else's shoes. You aren't making the choices. You are in another world. I liked the idea of that. It helps me to escape.

I looked down at my lap and smile, my hair falling out from behind my ear. I look up to face Noah and tuck the hair behind my ear.

"Yeah, but it's not torture. I like it because it helps me escape and forget for a bit. It's peaceful." I said turning to face Gaten and smile.

"I can understand that." Millie said staring off into space.

"You better keep your book in hand because it's never peaceful here on set." Noah said smiling.

I started to feel my face become hot, so I looked at my phone in my lap to hide it.

I grabbed my phone and looked up. "There is a reason I always have my phone on me. That's where I read." I said as I tapped my phone.

Noah just sat there and smiled at me amused. I felt my face heat up again.

I looked over at Millie quickly before it got worse and she smiled big like she got an idea. I saw her quickly mouth something to Noah that looked like "watch this", but I wasn't for sure.

She back at me, "You should get all our numbers, so if you need to ask us any question. You know!"

I simply nodded, unlocked my phone, and handed it to Millie. I watched as everyone passed my phone around the table to enter their numbers.

A smile crept across my face when Noah got my phone to put his number in. As you can tell, Noah is the one I have a huge crush on.

   "She could have just told us her phone number and then we texted her. That would have been easy." Finn said.

   Yeah, probably. I just smiled over at Finn.

What any other girl would do to get anyone from the cast's number, I thought. They would kill for a single digit. I laughed.

"What's so funny?" Noah said as he raised his eyebrow, a smile following right after.

There my face goes again, going red. I looked away, "Nothing." I laughed again.

"You should come over tonight! Sadie is coming too!" Millie said smile with a beaming smile.

   I smiled. Nobody has ever been that excited to invite me over to there house. HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL I'M GOING OVER TO MILLIE BOBBY BROWN'S HOUSE.

   "I'm sure my mom would be okay with it." I said trying to control my excitement.

   "Great!" She said clapping her hands together.

    Suddenly, my phone started going off. Usually, my phone never even made a noise. I was shocked to see people following me on Instagram, the likes, comments, dms.

      The directors had posted a picture of everyone at the table. Finn and Millie were talking, Sadie, Gaten, and Caleb were laughing about something. When I looked at me and Noah we were just looking at each other like we were moments before this picture was posted.

   I looked at the comments,

"She's really pretty!"

"Looks at the way Noah looks at her!"

"She'll make a great new member to the cast!"

"My new ship! #noley"

   I went wide eyed as I stared at the comments. I quickly turned my phone off when I felt Millie come closer to my to look at the comments too. I practically threw my phone on the table.

   "Strong arm." Noah smiled amused.

   "Strongest on my pro cheer team." I said confidently.

   My smile dropped as I started thinking about the comments on the post.

   "What?" Noah said and his smile dropped too.

   "Nothing. Hey Millie, let's go ask my mom about that sleepover." I said trying to change the subject.

   Before she could answer I got up from my chair and started my way toward my mom. She was talking to the directors.

   "Hey mama." I said smiling.

   "Hi Charwey." My mom said smiling back.

   My smile dropped at the nickname, "Stop calling me that. Can I go over to Millie's tonight."

   "Carley, you know I don't like you going over to-" My mom started to say.

   She was really over protective when it came to me going to others people's houses. I have no idea why honestly, but I always told her I understood because she felt bad telling me no.

   "You know what. Call me if you being kidnapped. No offense Millie. I'm sure you have a lovely family." My mom said with an award winning smile.

   Millie laughed, "I understand, but if you aren't comfortable wit-" she started to say, but was interrupted.

   "No, it's okay. She can go." My mom said.

   Millie looked at her phone, "Speak of the devil. My mom said she on her way to get us." She looked up with a smile.

   "Okay, well I guess I'll leave. Have fun sweetly. I love you." She said smiling.

   "I love you too and thank you." I said looking at my mom in the eyes.

   She just smiled and walked out the door.

   (10 minutes later)

   As soon as the car door shut, Millie screamed, "LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!"

   "I'm ready to talk about you and Noah." Sadie said aloud.

   My eyes widened and my face flushed red. I stared at my phone that I had turned off.

  That's when I heard Sadie and Millie start laughing. Millie's mom even awed. Frick, I won't escape it. I am beginning to feel what Finn and Millie feel when they are shipped together. Except this time, I have had a crush on Noah for 5 months.

   My phone lit up. I looked at the name on the screen.

NOaH SCHNAPP😝- Heyy Carl!

I smiled down at my phone when I read the message and began typing on the screen.
