This is my first book so it may not be the best but I had an idea and decided on writing a book about it. Hope you guys like it.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Noah's pov.There I was , walking through the halls of the school with my earphones and music at all volume thinking about what I'm gonna do when I graduate.
Graduation is a few weeks from now and I don't know to what college to go to yet. I shrug off that thought off my mind and keep walking my way to the library.
As I enter the library to finish some work for a project I notice all the tables are taken. I go to the back corner where no one goes. It's quite there so it's good. As I start my work I notice someone sit on the other side of the bookshelf. I can tell it's a guy but can't see his face , only his back.
He's wearing a gray sweater over a blue flannel. Has brown messy hair. Kinda muscular.
Yes , I'm basically checking him out. Well guess what....I'm gay. No one but my parents know this. I wanna keep it like that for now. Not ready to come out to the world.
"Hey , needed a quiet place too?" I say loud enough so only he could hear me.
"Yeah...I um..." he says.
"Sorry , I'm being a complete weirdo" I say and laugh.
"No , don't worry , I just like coming here pick a random book and start reading" he says and laughs too.
As I'm about to say something back I hear a phone ring. I stay quiet for a moment.
"I gotta go , hope I can get to meet you some day stranger" he says.
"Maybe...talk to you later Books" I say and I hear him leave and giggle at the nickname. Books.
I start working again and when the bell rings I go to class.
*AFTER SCHOOL*
As I got home I start to think about Books. He seems like a pretty chill dude. I mean who else goes to the school library just to read a random book? That's cute.
I start to think about if I'll ever see who he actually is.
Should I ask him who he is? Maybe it will be fun to just figure it out without names.
As I fall asleep I just think...Books.
*THE NEXT DAY*
I wake up to my loud alarm clock and yawn. I go to the bathroom and realize how messed up I look. I yawn once more.
I get in the shower and just stand there thinking of college. This thought has me stressed out.
I finish taking a shower , get dressed and make my way to the kitchen. I see my little sis on her phone doing who knows what. Dad on the couch and mom washing the dishes.
I open the fridge and grab some strawberry mom always buys for me. I sit next to my sister and start to eat and use my phone.
"Well...schools almost over" I hear mom say.
"Yeah" I say and look down.
"College?" She ask lifting and eyebrow.
"I still don't know mom , I haven't received a letter from Harvard and I really wanna go there" I say and scratch the back of my neck.
"Honey it's ok , but you have other options , we've received so many letters from other schools" she says.
"I know , but I've worked so hard , I just think I deserve it" I say looking down again.
"Calm down son , give it time" I hear dad say from the couch in the living room.
I look at mom and smile , she smiles back.
"I gotta get going , I'm gonna be late" I say and give my mom and sister a kiss.
I grab my bag and leave. Get in my car and start driving to school.
I find a good parking and start heading to class.
