asian; noah centineo

ni | so warm and cuddly

i don't know what to think about noah. he doesn't seem to want me around, and i can tell the effort he's putting in to be nice to me. after i got the job, i stalked him on social media. i may be a film kid, but i havent watched his movie yet. he seemed nice online, and his tweets are weirdly deep for a guy like him. whatever i expected of him, was completely wrong.

im alone in my dorm because my roommate chloe was out partying again. we're friends, but we don't get to hang out a lot in social settings because i don't like going to parties like she does. i know she really tries to help me get out of my shell but being brought up in a conservative asian society with strict partents doesn't help much. it's been a few days since i went out with noah, and chloe freaked out for me. she's been trying to push me into the dating scene since we became roommates, but little does she know.

noah: im going on set tomorrow, and my friends will be going as well. i was wondering if you want to tag along too? it may be good exposure for your course.

emma: omg sure! i've never been. are you sure i can come along though, does ben and amanda know?

noah: yeah they do, they said it'll be good for you too.

emma: thank you! what time should i be there?

noah: i have to report at 8am, but my friends are coming at around 8.30am. i can meet up with all of you guys in the lot at that timing? its at the hollywood studios, you know where that's at right?

emma: i do! i'll see you tomorrow, thanks for inviting me.

im giggling to myself before i even realise. ever since i moved here, i lost contact with most of my friends from singapore and japan, it just happens with moving. i havent even realised my lack of friends until recently.

i'm rushing towards the lot, im running about 2 minutes late because i couldnt find the place. i see noah and 2 other guys.

"im sorry! im sorry i got a little lost." i rush towards them.

"woah calm down, you're fine. we're just chilling." noah is holding my shoulders as i pant. thats when i truly felt short. noah is tall, i've already established that. but his friends are nearly all the same height as him.

"this is luke and this is jack." he gestured towards the two guys and i smile, introducing myself as well.

"you're so short! how cute!" im 154cm, i don't think im super short, but i know im not tall either. before i knew what was going on, im thrown over jack's shoulder.

"dude! put her down, don't be rude!" noah is slapping his shoulder and im dropped back on the ground.

"sorry shortstack, couldn't help it." he winks and i couldn't help but internally flinch.

"don't pay him any attention, he's just like that, we'll try to keep him in check." luke says, slapping jack's stomach. noah loudly announces that we should go so we all follow behind him.

the set was amazing, i couldn't believe how close i was to all the action and cameras. never would i have thought that i'll be here. noah did the fantastic job and i'm not surprised why he's called the internet boyfriend. he's absolutely charming on screen and he seems to get along well with everyone, and if i wasn't put up for the job, i might even fall in love with him.

"so how did you and noah meet? spill the tea." cierra looks expectantly at us as we all pile into the booth. they wanted to have dinner together, and i somehow got roped in. noah didn't seem too happy to have everyone all over me today.
