Noah at the top

  I got up, making sure I had my book and I groggily made my way over to the edge of the roof. I carefully climbed down and back into my window. By now Mr. Hunter was in my room standing beside Noah, the one who called for him.  I stood staring at them like a kid that was caught sneaking candy. Noah has his hair down, I took in his appearance.
" why where you on the roof? That's dangerous" Mr. Hunter said.
" I was looking at the stars then I fell asleep reading my book" I said embarrassed.
" you fell asleep on the roof?" Noah asked shocked. I blushes and looks down as I could hear footsteps. A soft hand touched my chin and I tried not to flinch. My chin was lifted up and I was staring into Mr. Hunter dark brown eyes.
" Please don't sleep on the roof again. It's not safe, if you want to look at the stars, go to the porch." Mr. Hunter told me softly. I nod my head and blushes as Noah watches us with a small smirk. I tilt my head and wonders why he was smirking.
 
  Mr. Hunter cleared his throat and let go of my chin as he took a step back.
" It's time for breakfast, be downstairs in five minutes" he said then left my room. 
" Join us soon" Noah said then followed Mr. Hunter.  I thought Noah was talking about breakfast but the tone in his voice hinted at something else. I run a hand through my hair and looked down at my clothes. I was still in the same clothes as yesterday. I went to my closet and put on some gym shorts and a sweater, that was to big because it was my brothers. I headed downstairs as I yawn.  I hear people talking, it sounds livelier today.  I went to the same seat that I sat in yesterday. Food was being passed out by Mr. Hunter. I mumbled a small thank you when a plate was placed in front of me. I looked around the table and noticed that they where already eating so I started to eat my breakfast slowly. I was  halfway through my food when I got full. 
 
    The boys where done and was putting there plates in the sink. I got up and picked up my plate. 
" Are you done?" Mr. Hunter asked not liking how much food I left.
" Y-yes sir I am" I said quietly. He nods his head 
" try and eat a little more at lunch then" he said as it was a normal thing. I nod my head and throw my leftover food away then put my plate in the sink. I was about to clean the dishes when the red head boy stopped me.
" It's my day to do the dishes" the red head told me. " oh okay. What's your name again?" I ask shyly as a blush came to my cheeks.
" Cute" he mumbled " It's Alex " he said with a warm smile.  I heard him mumble something but I didn't understand what he said. " is Alex short for Alexander?" I asked since that was my favorite name.
" Why Yes  Alexander the Great at your service" he said joking. I let out a small giggle and blush, it's been a while since I laughed let alone giggled.  Alex look at me for a couple of seconds then blushes. He turn around then started to clean the dishes. Liam came running into the room and up to me.
" Come on Elie we are collecting wood for the fire tonight!" Liam said excitedly. I blush at his nickname for me " I never had a nickname" I mumbled. Liam smiles widely and started to drag me to the door.
" we are going to give you, lots of things that you never had before" he said happily. I wonder how someone could be so happy or even this happy in the morning. He probably get the seven or eight hour of sleep that you need, where I can barely sleep three hours.
