Before you start reading, you've got to know that this isn't like the typical guy-loves-his-best-friend-but-doesn't-have-the-courage-to-tell-her story. No, Noah's story is so much more complex and heartbreaking than just a cloaked crush. It started 12 years before the death of Ava Miller, who knew that two 14-year-olds nearly falling asleep in math could turn into an early death.
*5 months before the death of Ava Miller*
"Hey Noah, could you drive me to babysit Sophia. Sorry, it's just that my Mum's friends-" Ava went on and on.
"Yeah sure, but you've gotta come with me to get through the hell of grocery shopping after your babysitting is over," Noah replied, he didn't mind driving her around since it gave him something to do with his spare time.
Noah parked his car out the front of Sophia's parents' house and decided to wait out the front since the session would only go for half an hour. So, a bit about Noah. He was 20 and 6 days today, he had longish hair that Ava always told him to cut and always wore the variation of between 2 different shirts; a plain red t-shirt with stitched on chalice right about his heart and a black jumper with invisible pockets inside. But to be fair, during winter he did wear the shirt under the jumper and he had 5 exact copies of both of these tops.
Storytime: during high school, he was called stinky since people thought he didn't change clothes. One of the bullies actually sniffed Noah, he was surprised and told everyone that Noah didn't really stink at all. That was a weird day.
It was during high school when he met Ava, during math class and they both were as lost as Alice but not yet as mad as the hatter. Their teacher was talking about linear equations and so, naturally, both of them were on the verge of sleep.
Noah's head had drooped sideways onto Ava's head which had caused them both to jump up and scream, the whole class had silenced and looked directly at them. They were frozen for a couple of seconds, staring at each other, then started laughing hysterically. They both met the next day in lunch detention.
"Oi, open up! It's bloody hot out here!" Ava whacks her fist against the window, reefing him back to the present.
Something that he hadn't mentioned was that since her twentieth birthday he had unwillingly fallen under her spell. As in her started liking her. As in he developed a crush.
"So, where to next?" She smiled at him, her lips a perfect pale red, the perfect shape.
"I heard that Dylan's hosting a party at his tonight, wanna go?" He slyly asked her out, well he didn't really ask her out, think of it as a night out as friends.
"Sure, I'm assuming it starts late so pick me up around 8?" She asked him, giving her best puppy dog eyes. It might sound like she's taking him for granted since he has a car but they had made a bet earlier that week which he had lost and that's why he has to drive her around now.
