Winning Noah's Heart [Not Edited.]

WNH/Chapter 3

Secrets are supposed to be between two people- sometimes three but usually two.

Noah and I had a secret. Mostly every summer night we would hang out until 4:00 in the morning just laying in the sand at the 24/7 beach. We would tell each other stupid stories and jokes and it was something we always did and no one knew.

Well, not until today when Daisy asked me about it.

I tried to act like I had no idea of what she was saying but then she goes-

"Noah told me, and I thought it was cute. And since we're dating I was gonna ask if it could be our thing now."

The nerve of that girl.

How could she ask to steal what Noah and I do?

How could Noah tell her that?

I wonder if he ever told her anything I said to him...

Noah is blind and deaf when it comes to my love but when other people hear what I say to him they know, right that second they find out.

Sometimes I think Noah knows and he just acts like he doesn't, he just acts like that so he wouldn't have to break my heart and end our friendship. He just doesn't want to make things awkward and I'm kind of happy if that's the case.

I don't wanna lose Noah, he's my best friend. It would be like losing Mike- they both mean the world to me.

But damn is he stupid.

And so am I-

"Sure, it can be your thing now." I said, almost struggling with the words.

"Thanks, you're a good friend." She says walking away, leaving me sad at my locker.

"You're an idiot, Dani. I swear to god you are." Mike said, rubbing his face in annoyance.

"I can't ruin what they have, this is his chance to not be in an arranged marriage and I can't ruin it- I want him to be happy." I say and Mike makes a face.

"Stop saying all this sappy love shit and get the man you deserve to be with!" He shouts and I cover his mouth and look around to make sure no other student heard.

"Dude." I whine. "This- this is all too much for me! I can't! Okay? I can't fucking do it, so please! I beg you to just stop making me do all this, I can't- I can't hurt him and his stupid relationship-"

Mike cut me off by hugging me tightly. "Im sorry, Dani."He apologizes and I softy sob into his chest.

When I feel too pressured I cry, and not normally crying I have like a panic attack and lock myself away from everyone and Mike always makes me feel like this only by accident though, he always feels bad after.

"I'm sorry." He whispers as he rocks me back and forth a little.

"Hey, what's going on?" I hear Noah ask but I don't turn around I just move away from Mike and shut my locker .

"Nothing." I say as I walk away from them and go outside.

Class isn't really on my to do list right now.

"Daniela!" I hear Noah shout from behind me so I stop but don't turn around.

"What do you want, Noah?" I ask as he steps in front of me.

"Why are you crying?" He asks me.

I roll my eyes and walk over to the huge tree that I love to sit under.

"Dani."

I forced a smile. "It was nothing, just felt pressured."

"Pressured?" Noah asks. "Why?"
