charmaine's pov.

i stood still, staring at noen, before he cleared his throat.

"um, hi..charmaine." he said.

i quickly blinked my eyes, snapping myself out of a trance.

"hi." i smiled back.

"um, chase, come with me." cynthia stayed, grabbing chase and dragging him off with her.

leaving noen and i alone.

"um, i don't know...what to say." he said.

i softly blushed, looking down at the ground.

"so, charmaine, are you and cynthia related? or are you guys good friends or something?" he asked, making conversation.

i looked up at him, trying to contain the blush on my cheeks.

"we're cousins, i'm from colorado. what about you? i'm guessing you're just friends?" i asked.

"uh yeah, i met her through tiktok, you know what that is right...wait, that was a stupid question, i'm pretty sure you kno-."

"yes, i know what tiktok is." i giggled, cutting noen off.

he smirked, falling back on the couch.

his hair fell in front of his face, he stuck out his bottom lip and blew it up.

"blue hair eh?" i asked, sitting next to him.

"yeah, it was purple before...pink before that." he said, running his hands through his hair.

"it's cute, i like it." i said.

he smiled, a small blush crept up on his cheeks.

"this is weird, but, i like, don't...know how to talk to, uhm, girls?" he said, looking towards me.

i immediately broke into a smile.

"especially, like, really pretty girls." he finished.

"thank you, and you seem to be talking just fine." i giggled.

"no, i know how to talk," he scoffed, slightly rolling his eyes, "im just awkward."

"it's cute, i don't have a problem with it." i continued to smile.

"why's cynthia never talked about you?" noen quickly asked.

"uhm, well, i guess we're kinda distant."

"ohhh. so, you said you're from colorado? what's that like?" he asked, scooting closer to me on the couch.

we continued to talk as the party went on.

i ended up getting to know this boy very well, we became close within a few hours.

i soon checked the time.

"noen, i think, i needa call an uber and head home." i said.

"you're not staying with cynthia?" he asked.

"uhm, no, there's a vrbo that was rented that i'm staying in." i said.

"oh, um, can i have your number?" he asked.

"uh, yes."

i put my number in his phone, before calling an uber.

we waited a little bit, making small talk, until the uber pulled up.

i stood up from the couch, getting the notification it was here.

"it's here, gotta blast." i said.

he stood up and walked with me to the door, and walked me out, to the gate outside.

"so, i'll text you." he said.

i smiled.

before i could walk away, he pulled me into a tight hug.

i don't think i've ever had such a good hug.

"bye, charmaine." noen said.

"bye, noen, i'll see you soon." i said, before getting in the uber.

i shut the door, and the car began moving, i watched noen turn around and head back towards the front door.

i watched out the window, listening the hum of the car under me.
