That One Girl

Chapter #4 (Dying Inside) Part 3

♕ Diane's P.O.V. ♕

The school bell rang to signal the students and teachers that the last period of school was over. I rushed out of the classroom and ran down the stairs and through the school hall towards the main gate. Noah was already waiting for me there. He was adjusting his motorcycle and waved at me. I smiled and walked towards him.

He greeted me with a lip kiss. I swear he's the best boyfriend ever. I was shocked in awe. I pulled out a smile when he backed off.

   "That was awkward, I'll not do it again if it makes you feel awkward." Noah said as he laughed a little.

   "No, no, no, it's completely fine, I want you to do it everytime if possible." I replied.

   "Do you want to have lunch? I'll give you a treat, my lady." Noah said.

   "Sweet, just how much sugar did you have this morning?" I asked, joking.

   "A tonne of Sugar. It'll last forever." He joked as I laughed.

I put on his helmet as he started the engine of his bike and I climbed up and sat at the back and wrapped my arms around his waist. He rode the bike towards the cafe that I used to see him go to since we were in primary school.

The cafe was still as beautiful as ever, it was like the most Retro cafe I've been to. The place is not really crowded, just a few groups of people aged 16 to 20s.

Noah brought me to a table near the counter as he thought it'll be convenient.

   "What would you like, Diane?" he said, sophisticated as if he worked at the cafe.

   "I think I'd go for the raspberry juice." I replied. "Hehe..."

Noah went over to the counter to order our beverages. I pulled out my Samsung Note 2 and checked my messages. Apparently, an unknown number messaged me the following:

   Hey, you've got to remember me. We went to the same school during primary.

I ignored it and deleted the message because I had a feeling it was Kendall. Noah came with a tray of our beverage.

   "Raspberry for my lady." he said as I laughed.

   "Hey, uhh.. Noah?" I called for him.

   "Yeah, Diane?" he replied.

   "Are you looking for a job during the summer holidays?" I asked him.

   "Not really, but sure, I'd love to look for a part time job." he acknowledged.

   "I have a solution for you." I smiled as I showed him my phone. "You can thank me later."

   "Woah, cool! I'll go for the interview."

   "Sure, you can, but.." I stopped him.

   "But..?"

   "You have to work there.. with me."

Noah smiled and laughed.

   "Of course I'd work there with you. Just text me the details later."

We both continued chatting as we took our time having some small at the cafe. The date wasn't boring, it was off the hook. I couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole date.

                                            -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-

We had our lunch, it was already 6pm and Noah wanted to bring me to the beach, Sunwater Beach, again. Maybe that's our iconic place to have a date or hang out.

We were both taking a stroll down the coastline.

   "So, my cousin is like the best, she is the one who taught me how to play the xylophone when we were little, the harp when we were in primary. But that was before she moved to Italy." Noah told me.

   "Your cousin seems like the kindhearted person." I replied.

   "Trust me, she is. I bet she'll like you when she have a first sight on you." He reminded me. "Here, take off your shoes."

   "Whatever for?" I asked, unsure.

   "Dip your feet into the shore. It's nice, especially in the night." he said.

   "Well, alright. " I accepted and went over into the shallow water to dip my feet in with Noah.

   "Noah?! Noah! Hey! Noah!" a familiar voice came swinging in.

Noah and I turned around as we looked at a familiar girl, running towards us. She ran and reached us. I thought she wanted to say Hi to both of us but...

Instead, she dived in onto Noah and kissed him right in the lips.

I got shocked as I watched her and Noah kissed their way. It was Tricia. I had no words..

   "I see.. I'm just a third wheel on this. I'll be going now. Thanks for the day, Noah. I can't believe this.." I told him in shock.

   "D-Dian—" He tried to stop me but Tricia dived in for his lips again.

I walked away from the shores and put on my sandals. I ran as fast as I could.

I could just burst into tears right now. I heard Noah calling out for me but I would never turn back anymore. My house was about 20 minutes walk from the beach.

                                            -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-

I stroll along Sherwood Street where my house was placed. Did Noah really mean it? If he did not, why did he allow Tricia to kiss him more? I reached the front porch of my house and unlocked the door.

I walked in to see Jerome laying on the couch, he noticed me crying really hard. I locked the door behind me.

   "Hey, li'l sis, are you okay? What happened?" he asked.

   "I-it's nothing.." I rejected to answer his question as I ran up the stairs and into my room. I slammed the door shut and threw my bag across the room and onto my study desk.

I dove onto my bed and cried. I looked towards the mural of a tree with a picture of me and Noah and cried even harder.

   "How did this happen?! Does he not love me anymore?!" I screamed into my pillow.

P.S.: Hello guys,

Finally, I have not updated the story for so long. Well today, my older brother got into an accident. Road accident. I couldn't stop crying over him being unconscious. But now he's okay! I'm glad he chose to stay strong...

Anyways, thanks for waiting, it's Finally out! I keep on procrastinating. Next chapter coming up soon.
