"Hey, wait up!"

You had just been about to call up a taxi when you turn and see Noah running up to you.

"I never caught your name." He says, panting. He must've been running for a long while to catch up with you.

"Oh," you laugh. "It's y/n."

"That's-that's a beautiful name." He comments, a smile forming on his face.

You blush.

No, why are you doing this? You are taken, stop it!

"Hey, uh, do you want me to drive you? Free of charge, you won't need a taxi." He asks hesitantly.

"Yes, I'd like that." You say kindly.

The hospital staff (or someone else, you didn't know for sure) had taken your things out of your car and set them outside for you. Suddenly in a very good mood, you grab your bag and follow Noah to his car.

"So, tell me a bit about yourself, y/n."

"Well, erm..." You pause for a moment, trying to think of interesting things about yourself.

"I have a little sister named Annalise, I like to skateboard, I, er..."

He laughs.

"What's so funny?" You ask, confused."

"You're adorable when you stutter."

You stop walking and stare at Noah. He must have noticed you weren't following him, because he sighed and turned to you.

"I'm sorry... you must have a boyfriend?" He questions. You think you hear a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Oh, yeah..." You say quietly.

He looks into your eyes and you can tell he's disappointed. You look down, embarrassed.

"Shall we get going then?" He asks after an awkward silence.

"Yes."

The drive to Finn's house was uncomfortable at first, but after a couple minutes or so, you and Noah both seemed to have moved on from your little "episode".

"...and that's why she brings in the beet. Get it?" Noah asks desperately. He was trying to explain vines to you.

You shook your head and giggled.

COMMENT IF YOU KNOW WHAT VINE IM TALKING ABOUT BAHAHAHAHA

"Oh come on!" He groans, "You have to understand at least some of them!"

"Nope." You laugh. He raises an eyebrow at you.

"I need to show you da way!" He exclaimed.

You look at him, puzzled. He rolls his eyes.

"My god, you don't even get that one?"

You smile. You enjoyed being around Noah. You felt very comfortable around him. You hadn't really felt this way about anyone else before. It was weird to think that you had only known him for less that 24 hours.

"Hey, y/n, promise we'll keep in touch?" He asks hopefully.

"Oh no, you're a horrible person, why would I do that, I hate you so freaking much!!" You say sarcastically.

He laughs.

God, he's so cute when he laughs.

Stop! Stop! He's just a friend.
