That One Girl

Chapter #4 (Dying Inside) Part 2

   "You have to promise that!" I exclaimed as I placed my arms over Noah's fine arms. He was feeling rather warm.

   "Alright, I promise," Noah agreed and poked my nose softly.

I couldn't stop smiling for that night. Noah stood up from the stool and made his out of the music room and up into his room.

I looked into the mirror that was near the harp and I stared at myself for a brief second.

   "I wonder what does he see about me? Cute? Funny? Or maybe even rebellious?" I posed and gestured to my words.

Well, if it wasn't for Noah, I won't be believing in love now, would I? I exit the music room and went up to my room.

As I shut the door behind me, I scanned my study table and grabbed my purse, and dig into it.

I held a photo of me and Noah with the view of the night horizon just now. Just look at him, he's so cute. I grabbed a double-sided tape and taped the photo of me and him onto one side of the wall of the room where it has a mural of a gigantic tree. I placed the photo at the bottom of the mural tree. I stepped back a few steps and took a last skim at the mural.

   "I think it's gonna look pretty.." I mumbled.

I dropped myself onto my bed and stared at the ceiling that was also covered with murals of my favorite Disney movie characters like Boo from Monsters Inc., Merida from Brave, and Jack Frost from Rise of The Guardians. I stared for so long, that I drifted away into deep sleep.

My alarm went off at 6 a.m. in the morning. It is definitely a Monday, time to get ready for school.

   "Education, Diane, education, you'll get through this day," I looked into the mirror on the vanity.

I hate school as much as every other teenagers do. But we do need to learn. I staggered my way towards the bathroom with my towel. When I passed the porch and into the corner, I didn't see where I was going and I bumped into Noah's chest.

   "Well, you're up already, frizzy," he teased.

I slapped his arm and he moaned.

   "I am a wake-up-with-a-frizzy-hair person." I replied with the duh voice.

   "Well, you look amazing, surprising also with your frizzy, come to think you look like a tiger on the prowl." He teased again as I slapped his arm again, harder this time.

   "Whatever, I'm gonna have a shower now. Move away, boy." I laughed a bit as I had a quick shower.

   "Come on, Diane, school's starting soon." I heard Noah's voice, through my door.

   "Yeah, one minute!" I said as I pinned up my fringe.

I adjusted my dress a little, added a little more makeup and got out from my room.

   "All right, Noah, let's go." I asked Noah.

We walked down the stairs and out of the house. I locked the door behind me before I walked towards Noah and his motorcycle.

   "Here," Noah said as he passed me the helmet for safety. He didn't wear one, he was worried of me so much, he cares for my safety, how sweet.

   "Thanks Noah, even for you having some care for my safety." I thanked as I got onto the back of his motorcycle.

I wrapped my arms around his waist again as he starts the engine, and drove down the street I was living in.
