Please enjoy and don't mind the spelling errors ^-^
Note: in Noelle's POV

It's not like she wouldn't like me... right? Then again, she doesn't really like anyone, that would include me I know it. I sit there at my desk and fiddle with the pencil in between my small fingers. A soft sigh escaping my lips and making me wish I was somewhere else then in class, which is surprising since I love learning. Ms. Alphys always makes learning fun, even if she has a hard time keeping her words together and trails off from time to time. Today just, didn't feel right. Mist of thoughts clouded my mind and jut trying to take anything else in was automatically kicked out. Doesn't matter though, I was able to quickly pick back up on what was taught. Maybe I'll ask Temmie afterwards for notes, if she hadn't been writing fanfics that is.

The thing that was on my mind was the thought of Susie. The tall purple gator monster that basically everyone in the class was afraid of. I wasn't though. I honestly admired her. I didn't like how people talked about her badly and it pained me to see her eat alone, walking alone, or doing anything alone. I've always tried to talk up a conversation with her, but every time I'm near her I can't help but choke up and go dead silent. How rude of me to never say anything to her and freeze up! God, I wanted to tell her how I feel so bad! Though those thoughts of what if something bad happened jabbed me in the brain and took over.
~
"Stop it Noelle, it'll be alright," I muttered under my breath. I hoped non of the other students heard me as I repeated those words over and over. There was a loud pounding on the door that snapped me out of what I was saying. My focus had landed on the purple skinned long shaggy haired monster that made my breathing stop for a second. Susie. The Very tall, muscular woman that made my heart skip beats from each time I even took a glance at her. Did the room feel hotter? Is it hot? wait no, its winter, just me. I can't keep staring at her so in a quick flutter of awkwardness I looked away and stared down at the floor with my face full red and hot. Hope no one noticed this. If they did, I'd die. I'd die right on the spot.
~
Ms. Alphys gave a nervous smile. "Susie, your late.. ehh... again.. heh, no matter, please take your seat." Susie being late was nothing new, she never really got in trouble for it though cause Alphys tried her best to be friends with all her students. I think its sweet that she does this, though the other students do take advantage of her kindness. There are students in here that would ask her stupid questions and laugh at her nervous breakdown. I would never do such a thing, I don't find humor in it, and Susie, well, she never really cared about it. The only other kids I knew besides me and Susie that wouldn't use our teacher as a joke was Kris. He was, someone that scared me sometimes, not cause he was silent, but because that one time he told me he was bleeding and it was blood. Humans are... a bit strange I guess, heh! Not in the bad way though.
~
I shook my head as soon as I realized that Alphys was starting a lesson. My eyes did wander a little, landing a bit on Susie from time to time, though I had to move my head a bit. She sat almost near me, the middle desk of the middle row. I sat up front. If only she sat next to me, then this position I'm in with my head wouldn't feel so awkward. Honestly, has anyone noticed my positions? Guess not, guess they are just either sleeping or distracted by something else. I should get back to my work now.

The bell had rung and I quickly gathered my things, the other students already heading out. I saw from the corner of my eye that Susie was already leaving as well. Had to be quick, this was my chance, I was gonna tell her! but, could I actually do this? I hope so. Once my stuff was packed away in my bag I picked it up and walked out of the room to catch up to Susie. Hopefully she didn't get too far. My gaze whipped around back and forth, trying to catch a glimpse of her. Yet there was no sight of the large purple girl anywhere to be seen. A soft sigh escaped my lips, she wasn't at her locker either, and I was beginning to doubt if me and Susie were even meant to be. Temmie came bounding over and tilted her head, I looked down at her and tilted my head. "Temmie? what is it?" I spoke in my soft tone. Even if Temmie was my school class mate and one of my friends, I was still nervous to say things.
~
Temmie gave a give goofy smile before speaking in her quirky tone. "Noelle want to talk to Susie, yes? mmm!" She already knew I had feelings for Susie. With the eyes of her, she could see a crush a mile away. Guess reading all those fanfics gave her the power of ship eyes. At least, thats what she called things that included pairing two people up. I'm not big on those words, heh. I replied to Temmie with a small nod. That goofy smiled appeared on her face again, "mmm! Tem Tem know where Susie izzz! She at forest next to cemetewy down woad!" I felt my face light up and I wanted to hug Temmie, but my anxious nervous self prevented it. Instead I happily thanked her a bunch before heading off the the cemetery, which wasn't that long away thank goodness.
~
The cemetery that big. In fact, there is only about four gravestones here. The town is small and still a bit new, so I guess that does make since that there wouldn't be that many deaths yet. The forest was big though, In fact it almost wrapped around the whole town, the only thing that kept it from being completely wrapped around was the road that headed into the next town. The leaves on the trees were a golden brown and there was a slight breeze in the air along with the smell of fresh dew. Must of rained a bit while we were inside. Now, if I wasn't so focused on something else, I would of stayed and filled up on the nice weather of this. I saw a bench in the distance and thought I might as well rest for a bit, I proceeded to walk over before I heard a slight huffy voice nearby. I whipped my head to where I heard it from, but didn't see anything. I think it might be Susie, I should check it out! As I proceeded to walk where I heard the voice, the forest trees seem to be filling up more and more gaps of spaces. The huffy sound was much more closer though and the rush of emotions filled my chest. This is it, this is my moment! I hope she doesn't eat my face off though.
~
It got much harder to walk through the more dense trees. Almost like I could be suffocated at any time. Luckily though, it started to clear up, though, I accidentally tripped over a tree root that was sticking up. Falling down I ending up landing in a clearing where the trees didn't seem to want to grow. I groaned and rubbed my head, I didn't hit it or anything, just had the instincts to do so. I looked around a bit, the clearing was shaped like a circle, the trees lining up to make the outline. It looked pretty, there were orange and yellow leaves covering the floor like a rug. Slowly, I got up and brushed the leaves that stuck to my skirt off. It was warm here, a nice cool weather that made me feel relaxed and lack any anxiety. It wasn't until I heard a certain voice that my anxiety came rushing back.
~
"What are you doing here?" The voice was familiar and I knew it belonged to no other then Susie. She was standing beside me, I probably didn't see her because of that, I was mainly looking forward. There was a slight chalky smell coming off her that was almost completely masked by the smell of the woods. I looked up at her and felt my cheeks heat up and I wanted to hide it, but knew I'd look even more suspicious. Susie didn't seem to like my long waiting response and repeated herself. "What are you doing here? Actually, how did you find this place?"
~
The roof of my mouth felt dry, no matter how many times I tried to get it moist again. What was I going to say? Could I even say anything? Well... I had to or else a fist might end up on my face. "W-well... I heard noises and I was curious and found myself here..." that was semi true, not far from the full truth. I looked down for a second then back up at Susie who seemed to just shrug off what I said and looked away out into the clearing. I guess this must be her quiet place, just a place for her to get away that was special. And me finding must not make it special for her that much anymore. I felt bad. "I.. I can leave if you need me to. I'm sorry for coming here." That snapped her attention right back to me. Her dark purple locks of hair streaming down own side of her face and off her shoulders. The gazebo her yellow eyes staring at me made me shiver slightly, but in a more, loved induced way. Those sharp teeth baring in, maybe a grin or a slight frown. Either she was about to yell at me or not, I'd still be entranced by those eyes more then anything.
~
Susie opened her mouth for a second but stopped suddenly. I tilted my head in confusion for a second and then felt a slight shuddering under my feet. I stared down at the floor and saw the leaves rustling and shaking. My gazes went back at Susie who looked just as confused as me. Looking around I saw that the trees were more dense then before and that there was no way Susie and I would get through them. What was going on? Terror filled me and was about to actually cling to Susie for comfort and safety, but before any of that could happen, the floor... disappeared. I felt myself falling, and I closed my eyes, wanting to scream, but all that came out of my body were tears and soft sharp gasp. I'm going to die
