Noah's P.O.V.

What happened to Evan last night?  I hope he's okay.  I shouldn't have ignored him last night at my house. I should call him. No wait, then I'm going to seem like a creep and he won't ever like me back. Ah, okay. Deep breaths Noah, clam down Noah, he just another guy you like. I threw my phone down on my bed and I hear it ring. I frantically run to hang up but he picked up already.

"Hello?" He says

"Heyyyyyyy," I say with an anxious voice. I grit my teeth and slap my forehead in disappointment. Why am I so stupid?

"What are you doing?" He asks. He seems very calm and tired. 

"Nothing. I just wanted to make sure you were okay after you screamed last night, you knowwww heh heh" I say.  Good job, Noah. Now you sound like an idiot AND a creep.

"Oh well I don't remember anything but I have a huge scar on my right side," He says with a very calm tone in his voice.

" Oh MY GOSH are you okay," I say. Stop it, Noah. You're making it too obvious. How is he ok? 

"Yea don't worry about it.  It doesn't hurt and I kinda wish I knew how I got it. It's already healed over and everything" He said

"well I'm just happy you're okay" I mumble. "Bye I guess." I have to hang up before I say any other stupid things to him

" Wait, what did you say?" he asks

" NoThIng," I say as my voice cracks

"Okay. Anyways, wanna hang out today?" He asks

"Um sure where and when," I ask

" um how about one o'clock at the park," he says. I nod but realized he can't see my face

"sure" I say.  I look at the clock and it's 12:30. 

That gives me 30 minutes to get ready. 

Okay. I got this and maybe I can tell him how I feel. 

Okay, I won't do that because he's straight and I saw like ten different girls check him out and he probably has a girlfriend even though he denied it. As I think of Evan in a relationship I get dressed and brush my teeth then leave my house because he texted me what park he wanted to meet at.

Evan's P.O.V. 

Okay, a girl asked me out last night after I turned back. 

 I didn't know what to say because I think I like someone else but they will never like me back so I was hoping he will help me with my feelings. 

As I get ready, I grab my pink FILA hoodie and put my AirPods in and walk to the park. As I walk, I play with the drawstrings on my hoodie. 

As soon as I get there, I don't see him and it makes me panic. What if something happened to him? 

Then I feel someone pull down my hood and slap the back of my neck. 

"Ow" I say, turning around. It's Noah. I sigh, knowing he's ok.

"Hi I tried calling your name but you didn't respond, and now I see why," Noah says, pointing at my ears. Then I remember my AirPods. I pull them out of my ears. 

"so you slap my neck instead? and hi by the way" I say as I rub the back of my neck, smile at him, then we both walk to a tree and sit down in the shade

"Okay so I have this issue and I need your help," I say

"What is it?" He says, concern in his eyes. My goodness, he's so cute. I smile but then I think about what I just thought. The smile wipes off my face. I'M STRAIGHT. I continue to tell him what I need help with. 

"Well, last night, I got a text from Cassie. I have no idea how she got my number and she asked me out.  I haven't responded but I think I like someone else and I know they will never like me back what do I do" I say not making eye contact.

"Well, I think you should ask the person you think you like out and see what happens from there because I know Cassie a little too well and she's not a nice person," he says and starts to frown but he starts smiling right after but I don't shrug it off I want to know what he's hiding. 

"So who do you like?" he says all happy. 

"First off I don't like anyone for sure and I won't tell you even if I did,"  I say, not looking at him. 

 We talk for a while and I check my phone. It's 4:30 and then I feel something lean on me. 

I look over my left shoulder and see Noah sleeping. How did he fall asleep so fast? We were literally just talking. 

He looks so peaceful. I don't want to wake him. 

Then it hit me. 

I do like the person I thought I like but I have no chance. 

So I take out my phone and text Cassie back, shaking my head, knowing this is wrong. 

Me: so where do you want to go and when 

Cassie😬😒: the pizza place near our school, Friday 

Me: cool, I guess. Gtg, don't text me back please I'm busy.

and with that, I put my phone down and played with Noah's very soft hair and I drifted off. 

" What time is it" I hear. I open my eyes and look down. Noah is lying on my lap and I'm still propped up on the tree. My back aches from the tree bark. I feel as if it's been 10 seconds after I closed my eyes

"4:30 I think, let me check," I say when I pull out my phone I see the time and my eyes go wide.

"5:00. I'm so dead!" I stand up quickly and Noah's head falls off my lap. His head almost hits the ground but he caught himself last second, looking up at me, irritated.  "I got to go! My parents are gonna kill me! Bye Noah" I shout and run off I hope Noah gets home safe.
