Noah Campbell.

One of the most famous boys at Westwood high. And no, not for your typical reasons. Not for being the school's star quarterback. Not for being funny. Not even for being a nerd. He is well known for the simple fact that he is unknown.

As weird as that sounds.

You see, Noah wears a hoodie.

Now I know what you are thinking: "So he wears a hoodie. What's the big deal?"

Well, Noah's hoodie covers his whole face. As in you can't see anything. As in no one knows what he really looks like. As in... Well, you get the jist.

Of course, with mysteriousness comes theories.

"I heard he's a celebrity trying to hide his identity."

"Really? I heard he is running from the cops."

"Dude no, I heard he got into a knife fight and his face was chopped off."

Oh, and those aren't even the worse ones.

"I heard he's an alien from Saturn here to take and eat all of our souls for lunch."

Yeah, you heard that one right.

So, as you can see, the theories get dumber the more you hear them.

And the most ridiculous part is that people named him.

Hoodie Boy...

I mean seriously, who comes up with a name like that? Who came up with the name?

I just don't understand how anyone ca-"Thinking about Hoodie Boy again?" My best friend since the womb Rachel asks, breaking me from my thoughts.

"Noah," I emphasize. That is the only real thing we know about him, his name.

She rolls her eyes. "Anyways... Why won't you just admit your little crush on him?"

It's my turn to roll my eyes. "Shut up, you can't crush on someone you don't even know."

"Yeah, well the way you study him, I wouldn't be surprised how much you do know him." This would be the part where I blush, but I never blush, ever. It isn't a crush, I'm just intrigued.

"It's not a crush," I mutter, looking over at him. He's just so mysterious. No one knows anything about him and it makes me wonder.

Does he have long hair or short hair? Does he even have hair? Is it blonde or brown? Red maybe? Are his eyes blue? Hazel? Brown? What does his voice sound like? Is it deep? I bet it's deep. Maybe- "Yup, totally not a crush." Rachel says sarcastically.

"It's not a crush!" I yell a little too loud, as anyone within three tables looks at us. They go quiet for a moment before realizing nothing good is going on and getting back to their conversation.

"Ok chill, jeez," Rachel mutters playfully as her boyfriend, Ched, comes over and sits next to her, pulling her in for an obnoxious kiss. I freaking hate Ched, I mean what kind of name is that even?

Ched...

Sounds like some kind of cereal.

"Come and get your ChedMix for ¢.02 because we all know it isn't worth the nickel in your pocket!

All of a sudden I stand up. "I just remembered, I am getting a new book from the library," I say angrily. But the 'happy couple' didn't hear me. They were too busy playing tongue hockey.

I scoff before walking away, fuming.

Stupid Ched and his stupid disrespectful nature and his stupid hate for me. Ugh! he's just so stu-

"Oof!" I say as I bump into a brick wall. But brick walls don't wear cotton. And brick walls don't smell this good. Like a mixture of clean clothes and this earthy scent.

I stumble a little but don't fall, dropping all of my books in the process.

I gasp, looking up.

"Noah..."

For a second we just stared at each other.

For a second I got to take another deep, yet subtle inhale of his delicious scent.

For a second I was up close to the most closed off person in the entire school. Maybe the entire planet.

And for a second, I never wanted it to end.

But then he pushes past me and storms down the hallway.

And in that second, I felt the disappointment as he finally disappeared around the corner.

♥ Hey, guys so this is my new story. My first one. For the time that I have been on Wattpad I have only ever read stories and decided that I wanted to write like some of the great authors on here, including sweetdreamer33 JessGirl93 Midika and xThePineappleGirlx.

♥ This doesn't even put a dent in the plethora of great authors on this Website/App.

♥ I can only hope that one day I become as good as one of them.
