Noah Schnapp - Will's Love Interest

Chapter Twelve- Crying on a Bench

I didn't want to be mean, but I honestly didn't want to respond to Sierra at the moment. I wanted my full attention on the boy that was sitting next to me in the car.

"Who's that?" Noah asked looking at my phone.

I was looking at my phone debating whether or not to respond. That's when it hit me. Noah can not know Sierra. She is gorgeous, she easily used to get guys. She stole my freaking boyfriend one time.

"Carley?" Noah asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"That's the name." I said, turning my phone off and putting it in my lap.

"Shall I repeat myself?" Noah asked cocking a eyebrow.

"No, sorry. It was just a old friend." I said with a small smile.

"You have friends?" Noah asked, surprising me.

"Um-" I started to say.

"Sorry, no that came out wrong. It's just, you never talk about anyone from your old school." Noah said rephrasing himself.

"It's fine," i said laughing, "we recently reconnected. No big deal. It's not like you talk to me about any of your old friends." I said.

"Yeah, I haven't..." Noah said trailing off.

I gave Noah a weird look. Was he hiding something?

   "What are you guys gonna get from Starbucks?" Millie asked, turning around in her seat.

   "Vanilla Bean Frappe!" I said turning all my attention now to Millie.

   "I'll have that too." NOaH said with a smile.

   "Why don't we just get one large and you both can share it, lovebirds." Millie said snickering at herself.

   My face became really red and was really flustered.

   "What are you talking about?" I said, looking at my lap.

   "It's not like that." Noah said, I couldn't see his face, but his voice didn't seem flustered.

   No, actually he was laughing. I looked at him for a quick second and back to my lap. He had a huge smile and he was looking at me. That's when I started to feel his stare burning me.

   Keep looking at your lap Carley.

   "Okay, let's leave poor Carley alone." Millie's mom said, clearly amused, but she was trying to hold in her laughter.

   Oh boy, remind me to leave a car if Noah ever ends up joining us again...

   We arrived to Starbucks and Millie and Millie's mom ordered for us. I tired to give her money to pay for me, but she wouldn't let me.

   I was sitting next to Noah on the couch that they had in the lounging area. He sat with his arm on top of the chair, so his arm was right behind me. No, he didn't have it around me, but it was for comfort.

   Millie walked over with three frappe's in her are struggling to hold them all. It was really amusing and I was trying my best to keep my laughter in. She looked up and flared at me for a second, and she almost dropped her drink.

   She made it over there and we got our heaven in a cup. Yes, I said heaven in a cup because that's exactly what it is!

   Once we got them, Millie tried sitting next to me, but there was much room. She scooted me over closer to Noah.

   That's when it hit me. She did this on purpose. I noticed how close we were next to each other and blushed deeply. I looked over at Millie and she had a smirk on her face.
