hey now! | noel gallagher

one

I breathe a sigh of relief as I'm finally let out of my last lesson of the day - maths, which my teacher claims I'm good at but I still hate with a passion. My legs carry me closer and closer to the other local school that's just a short walk away; the school that all my friends go to.

I wish they could go to the same school as me, but it doesn't work like that, unfortunately. They go to an all boys school and I (you guessed it) go to an all girls school.

Pulling out my phone, I send my friends a quick text.

I shut off my phone as I see Graham, my best friend, approaching me. "Hey," he says, giving me a hug, which was pretty awkward considering the fact that he was carrying his massive guitar case as well.

Seconds later, Damon appears, looking slightly disheveled. "You'll never fucking believe it," he says, breathing heavily. "I saw Bella with her arm around another lad!"

"You weren't exactly official," I chime in, which makes Damon give me the middle finger. It's the truth, though: he's been going after her for ages, but they've never actually become a thing.

"So... did you run over here to tell us this?" Graham asks, gesturing at Damon's out-of-breath state.

"No, I ran so she wouldn't see me-" He's cut off when Bella appears from the school entrance with an arm around a boy who's a few inches taller. He has dark, curly hair and piercing blue eyes.

"Damon!" Damon's face flushes red at the sound of his own name. Bella advances towards him, taking the other boy with her.

"Uh... hey?" He scratches the back of his neck nervously. "How'd you get here from the other school so quick?"

"I ran! I couldn't waste any time not talking to Noel, know what I mean?" She gestures to the boy, who stares blankly at the ground.

"That's great!" Damon's voice is noticeably higher than normal.

"So, who are your friends?"

"Uh... this is Graham." Graham smiles awkwardly and adjusts his glasses. "This... is Graham's guitar. And this is Heather."

At the mention of my name, Noel looks up and stares directly at me. I break eye contact, feeling slightly embarrassed.

"Well..." Graham interrupts the awkwardness and I mentally thank him. "It's fucking cold. And I've got to go home. Hey Heather, you live next door! Let's go."

"Wait for me!" Damon yells as we run off.

Before we turn the corner, I turn around again and notice that Noel is still looking at me.
