CHAPTER 5- THE X

                                                                  FLORA'S P.O.V

After we got our essentials, Noah offered to drop me off home and I definitely wasn't going to refuse and walk instead, so I signed at him my address and climbed onto his scooter. We were there in less than 10 minutes considering that he's a psycho on the road.I got off the scooter and faced him. He had gotten off the scooter as well which made us face each other very closely.

Thank you, I signed at him

My pleasure, He replied.

So I waved at him one last time and turned around heading for the door and when I nearly had reached it a hand grabbed my forearm and turned me around. When I turned around I felt a little peck on my cheek.

No, Thank you.

He turned around heading back to his scooter. I was frozen in place; I slightly touched my cheek where he had kissed me. He had kissed me. ME! When I finally got out of the shock and turned around to head inside my mum had already opened the door and was watching me with a slight smirk and wiggling her eyebrows. "So.... Who was that?" Instead of replying to her, I ran inside and upstairs to my bedroom and flopped onto my bed, lying down and closing my eyes and grinning from ear to ear. My face red as a cherry still. I can't believe that he had actually kissed me.

A few minutes later my mum came up in my room and sat down next to me, which I had to sit up first.

"Who was that?" She asked smiling.

Noah, I replied

"Did you guys meet at the mall?" She said looking towards the bags of essentials and sighing with relief that I had actually gotten them.

No, we met at a coffee shop.

"So you did wander off"

Kind of at first, I replied sheepishly smiling.

"So what does he do? Does he go school?" My mum asked

Yeah, he's starting the same College as me tomorrow.

"Good" She replied, "Do you like him? Do you think he's a good person?" She asked.

I think he's great! And yeah I guess, kind of. I answered while looking down trying not to blush remembering the kiss and how he had asked for my number before that. Yes, we had exchanged numbers, to only text obviously. What a great conversation we'd have. A mute and a deaf on a phone call.

****Next Day****

Around noon the next day I had gotten a text from Noah.

12:17pm, Noah: What are you doing?

I had replied after a few minutes, trying to sound not too desperate to talk to him.

12:20pm, Flora; reply to Noah: Nothing, just lying down on the couch watching TV.

12:22pm, Noah: Well, seeing as you aren't doing anything, do you want to hang out at the park?

12:24pm, Flora; reply to Noah: Sure, which one? The one next to the milk bar or next to the boutique?

12:25pm, Noah: Milk bar, be there in half an hour.

12:26pm, Flora; reply to Noah: Okay, see you.

12:27pm, Noah: See you. x

Did he just put an x? Oh my god! He just put an x. I may not be the social bee but I know what x stands for. Well, he did kiss me on the cheek yesterday. Anyways I have to get ready quickly so I put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt of a band on the front who I have no idea of.

I went downstairs and my mum was washing the dishes from the breakfast that we had.

"Hey honey, where are you going?" She asked when she saw me enter the kitchen.

Meeting Noah at the park, is that okay? I replied.

"Sure, but be back by 3 okay?"

Sure! Thank you. I answered and went out. The walk was only about 10 minutes and when I arrived, Noah was already there, seated on a bench across from the slides.

I slightly touched his shoulders from the back and he jumped in the air turning around, finding me grinning. And he smiled back at me playfully.

You're going to pay for that.

Oh yeah? How?

Let's just say you won't be enjoying it.

Try me. I replied smirking, already taking a few steps back, getting ready to run.
