Noen had gone to his second class after I dropped him off. Unfortunately, we only had 2 out of 4 classes together. Attention from other people, and especially girls had been at an all time high. Girls craved his attention but he refused to give it. In fact, he only huddled close to me and dared looked anywhere but at me. And I kind of loved it. I also kept in mind that it was that attitude that got me in to hell in the first place.
"So, you and Noen. You guys seemed closer than 'new guy meets his tour' type of close."
It was Dylan. He had walked to my table in the back to talk to me because aperently, Mr. Peterson, told the class to pair up. It was normal for me and Dylan to pair up in out classes, we had all our classes together except for 1st.
"Well, funny story." I twirled a piece of hair, that hung in front of my ear, between my fingers. It was a nervous glitch I did all the time, and Dylan knew it. He also knew I lied when I bit my lip, either that or I was confused. So there was no point in trying to lie.
"We've got time. Spill." Dylan smirked at me and I instantly got into my position I always did when I was either ranting or spilling tea on someone.
And I did. I spilt all the tea, about how Noen called me thinking I was Jr, and how we talked a lot and flirted. I also told him of our late convo's and how we had a good connection. As we talked, we worked on our lab we were assigned and continued to play around.
"Wow. It sounds like there's something there." Dylan had finished writing our final finding in our science lab, as I finished my tea spill, holding my legs to my chest in a desperate attempt to keep myself warm.
"No, we just had a good connection." I felt my cheeks redden and look away from Dylan, hoping he wouldn't see my smile. Somewhere inside me, I knew he was right. There was something there, and Noen didn't seem like the type of guy to flirt with just anyone. I still knew I could just allow myself to fall for him and then realize he's not here for the long run.
"I can see you smiling. You can't hide anything from me." Dylan took my face in his hand and squished my cheeks with his fingers like he always does. I rolled my eyes and he pursed his lips, looking away, and dropping his hand.
"Tyler and John are fighting again." My mind went instantly to the fight the best friends previously had over me, as soon as the words left Dylans mouth. As if Dylan can see the question in my eyes, he answers it. "Yes, its about you and Noen." He sets his jaw and something about it makes me feel terrible. "Well its started with you and Noen. Then it became about the past. Ya know..." I nod and close my eyes, trying to calm my anxiety. Not one day Noen had been here and everyone was upset already.
"How long do you think its going to last?" I knew that Tyler, Josh, Dylan, Noen, and I all had our final class of the day together, which was going to make things very awkward. Dylan shook his head as if to say, 'It may never end' and I understood.

I had been stressing the last minute as I walked to my final class. My 3rd class was on the opposite hall of the school from anyone I talked to besides Josh, so he walked alongside me to class as I stared at my feet. He had tried to bring up Noen a few times and I told him I couldn't hear him and to tell me when we got to class, even though I very well knew what he was saying.
When we did arrive to class, Tyler was in the class already and saw that Josh was with me. I blew out a sigh as I took a seat far from both of them, plopping into the seat with angst. Noen and Dylan walked in next to each other instantly Noen smiled at me, making me rose at the cheeks. He sat in the seat next to me and Dyaln followed in front of him, leaving the seat behind me and in front of me.
