Just Friends

Anna's POV

N: so I have a question for you ...

A: um ok ..

N: wait, can you come over for a sec?

A: sure ...

I grabbed my shoes, coat, and yelled to my mom that I was going over to Noah's for a second while heading out the door. I was just walking a couple doors down, but it seemed like forever. What would he want to ask me? I took a second to calm myself down before ringing the doorbell.

"Coming!" I hear Noah yell. "Hi .. Hi Anna" he said with a sheepish smile on his face. I swear my hearts about to burst.

"Hi Noah" I said, with a small, shy smile of my own.

"Um .. So .. I wanted to ask you this in person, so that's why I asked you to come over. After that .. That convo we had a couple minutes ago, I was ... Was wondering if umm .."

"C'mon Ghant, spit it out" I said jokingly.

"Haha fine. I'll just 'spit it out' then - Will you be my girlfriend?" He literally spit out so fast I could barely tell what he just said.

"What did you say? I couldn't understand ..."

"I said .. " he took a deep breath, "will you be my girlfriend?"

I can't breath. Is this actually happening?!

"Of .. Of course Noah!!"

His face lit up with a huge smile, and I'm pretty sure mine mirrored his. He spread his arms out to hug me, and I returned the favor. Being in his arms .. It's perfect. I went up on my tip-toes to put my head on his shoulder, with my arms wrapped around his neck. He put his arms around my waist and I feel like I'm about to melt. As he pulled away after a minute, I tried to control the absurd smile on my face.

"Well, I'll let you go back to your house so you're mom doesn't get suspicious of anything haha. Text me?"

"Don't worry, I will Noah. See ya on Monday."

"Bye Anna."

"Bye!"

As I walk down his driveway, it takes every ounce of self control that I have not to start skipping. I can tell that he's watching me as I walk away. I still can't believe that just happened ...

~•~•~•~

As I walk back inside my own house, my mom asks me from the kitchen, "So what did Noah want?"

"Oh, he just had a question on our language arts homework."

"Oh ok."

I raced up the stairs to my room and texted Noah.

This has easily been one of the best days of my life ...
