Noah

Grace and I are hanging out after school and I couldn't be happier. I was going to get her to say yes to me and not perfect little Gabe. The guy every girl dreams about. What's so cool about him anyways? I grab my bag and walk outside and get into my car. I start my car and feel my phone buzz.

Luna (Grace's best friend): Hurry, go pick up Grace.

Me: Why?

Luna (Grace's best friend): JUST DO IT!

I shake my head and drive grace's house. I pull into her driveway and get out of my car. I stroll up to her door and knock. I hear grace saying something and the door click and she is standing in the doorway. She looks at me surprised.

"Noah? What are you doing here."

"I'm your ride." She looks at me and shakes her head. She laughs and steps outside and shuts the door.

"My hero." She jokes and I smile and walk over to my car. I unlock the doors and Grace and I get into the car.

"Wait!" Grace darts back into the house and comes out with a Contigo and her phone. She gets back on and sighs.

"Ok, now we can go." I smile and drive out of the driveway to the school.

I park close to the school and we both get off. She groans and I walk next to her.

"What?"

"People are staring Noah."

"No, they aren't." I cover her eyes and she squeals.

"Noah! I can't see!"

"See, now you can't see them stare. Problem solved." She giggles and pulls my hands off her face.

"Thanks." I smile and nod.

"No problem." Then as I'm about to go down the hallway grace speaks up.

"One point for Noah." I turn around and raise my eyebrow.

"What?"

"Well you and Gabe are competing for me, so one point for you," She says and shrugs. I laugh.

"That makes sense. How much does he have?"

"One, you two are tied." I mentally roll my eyes but I'm glad it's only one point and not five.

"Cool." I turn around and walk down to my locker.

Grace

I smile and turn around almost running into someone.

"Sorry." I walk down the hallway and over to my locker. Luna is leaning against my locker with her arms crossed.

"Grace Bennet. We have not been hanging out because of those two boys." She pretends to pout and I laugh.

"Yeah, and you have nothing to do with that," I say sarcastically and she gasps dramatically.

"I would never."

"Oh my god, Luna. You are hilarious. So who told Noah to come to pick me up in the morning? and who gave Gabe my address and who-" Luna covers my mouth and shushes me.

"Ok, ok. Maybe I did a little bit to boost your chances of actually choosing a guy. Instead of wimping out at the last second and not going out with either."
