arabella sat quietly in the uber next to noah, noah's eyes being glued to his phone as he tapped away. arabella had no idea who he was texting and what was making him laugh but she knew she had no right to ask him or know. he could text who he wanted, they're not together after all.
noah let out a laugh, arabella finding curiosity getting the best of her.
"who's that making you laugh so much?", arabella asked, a small fake laugh passing her lips.
"oh, it's just loren. she sent me some funny memes and said hi," noah shrugged with a laugh, putting his phone down.
arabella's nodded her head awkwardly.
"oh," she deadpanned.
"what's wrong bella? you haven't been okay since the interval, what's up?", noah asked.
arabella rolled her eyes.
"i'm fine noah, i'm just confused as to why she's non stop texting you and why she can't just leave it. she always flirts with you," arabella explained, picking at her nail varnish.
noah let out a small laugh.
"bella, there's nothing to worry about. she just said hi and sent me a meme, there's no issue with that. you can't tell me there's nothing wrong because there clearly is," he sighed.
"sure she did. and i've told you already, i'm fine . just leave it!", arabella snapped, growing frustrated with everything.
arabella gets overwhelmed and frustrated quickly so she found herself tensing up. noah was now aware of arabella's low tolerance to frustration due to her adhd so he spoke in a softer tone.
"bella, please calm down. me and loren are just friends okay. and i know something's wrong, you need to communicate with me," noah reasoned.
arabella could feel herself become frustrated and her body overheating in the uber. she took deep breaths as she looked out the window to see the house.
"we're here," she spoke, her voice almost a whisper.
the uber slowed down and parked, arabella giving the driver a weak smile and a small 'thank you'. she opened the door and hopped out closing it behind her and making her way towards the sway house. noah thanked the driver and quickly got out of the vehicle, closing the door behind him, the uber pulling away. arabella silently got her key out of her purse and began unlocking the door, noah jogging over to her.
