Trouble | Noah Beck

E I G H T E E N

you were in your final class of the day, which happened to be the one you had with noah and his friends, but luckily you had Athena there too.

he looked upset, it hurt you to see him like that .... but you were both on a break so theres nothing you can do.

Bryce, Quinton, Blake and Griffin we're trying to talk to him but he would just simply nod or shake his head . he glances over at you occasionally.

meanwhile Blake and Athena were flirting with eachother over messages . i- dont ask.

you were pretty bored , since noah was the only exciting thing in your life .

you flipped through your journal , looking for an empty page to doodle on since you finished your assignment early .. as always .

"so... there's another game tonight" you hear Athena say.

you shake your head, "im not going..." you mumble.

"c'monnnn , since your not going to be with noah anymore, maybe you can ask grayson to homecoming!" she whispers.

absolutely not.

"no" you say drawing random shapes on your paper.

"miss ortiz" you quickly look up at your teacher , Mr.Wills.

everyones attention went to you.

"yes sir?" you say tapping your pencil.

"it seems as if your friend isn't quite grasping onto our current lesson very well... do you think you can stay after class to tutor her? since you constantly excel on the worksheets?" he says with crossed arms looking over at Athena.

she rolls her eyes, "of course" you smile, he nods as he walks back to his desk.

and you hear the hyena-like laughters of the boys behind you. they were three other football players.

Vinnie Hacker, Troy Zarba, and Jordan Huxhold. you've sorta had a crush on vinnie since your freshman year but it faded when he started dating Vanessa, a senior. but once she graduated.. they broke up.

"is something funny?" you say as you and Athena turned around.

he had his tongue poking the inside of his cheek, smirking as his eyes scanned you.

"no... nothing at all" you hear troy say with a giant grin on his face.

you roll your eyes, about to turn back around , "you both comin to the homecoming game tonight?" says. Jordan.

"maybe, if i can get this bitch to go" she says .

you scoff, "you should go.. it would be nice to have a pretty face like yours in the crowd to give me a reason to win" vinnie says.

you feel your face heat up. you see noah with jealousy written all over his face.

you brush it off.

"then i might just have to go..." you say smirking.

vinnie bites slightly on his bottom lip while smiling.

"what about you Athena?" says Troy.

"oh- uh-" she's interrupted when Blake walks over to her desk.

"she has a boyfriend." he says looking at all of them.

they chuckle , "woah Blake, calm down dont get your balls twisted." says Jordan.

"shut the fuck up huxhold.." he replies.

this only makes them laugh more.

he shakes his head walking back over to noah who was with crossed arms, flexing hard enough that you could see his veins popping through.

i wasnt trying to make him jealous , i just had to get him off my mind so i wont be tempted to run back to him.

you didnt want him to be mad, you planned to talk to him once you finished tutoring athena.

the bell had rung , the boys rushing out cheering . blake stopping to give a quick peck to his little girlfriend who's also my bestie .

you spent around 30 minutes teaching her after school until she finally understood everything .

"you ready to go?" she says packing up her backpack.

you nod, "i just have to go look for noah... i dont want him to be upset with me over this whole break thing." you say.

"yeah you should , but if your planning on going to homecoming.. vinnie could be an option." she says raising a brow.

you giggle, "he's the last thing on my mind, and i gotta go" you say getting up from your desk.

you wave off the teacher before exiting the class , searching the hallways for noah.

you give up, walking over to your locker to put up your text books.

you turn the corner, finding Noah and Marilyn making out. he had her pinned up against your locker. he was in his football uniform.

you feel your heart drop and your head go light.

"excuse me?" you say clearing your throat.

he looks at you, quickly pulling away... marilyn smirks at you with her lipstick smeared.

"could you both take this somewhere else instead of almost fucking on my locker? it's disgusting" you say crossing your arms.

"what princess? you cant handle me with another girl?" noah speaks up.

your jaw drops, who the hell does he think he is ! "dont you fucking call me princess... get the hell away" you utter.

"awww . little denali is mad .." marilyn says .

"shut it .. dont act like i wont beat your ass again because trust me, i will bitch." you say walking closer to her.

she scoffs, "lets go babe" she says grabbing noahs hand.

he winks at you, you roll your eyes , walking off.

babe? what the fuck ?!

you walk out to the football field , where everyone was already going up to the bleachers . it sucked that you didn't have time to go home and get ready . but whatever

you meet up with athena at the ticket booth, she paid for both of yours.

"alright we need to find blake" she says looking around.

"he's over there" you point to the benches where all the players were standing by on the side of the field.

you both walk over, she runs over to blake.

you see noah hugging marilyn, she pulls away to whisper something in his ear.

you stand there with your arms crossed, waiting for athena to quit making out with blake .

you feel a tap on your shoulder, turning around to find vinnie. he stood there in his slightly dirty uniform. with his blond hair sweaty .

"heyyy" you say dragging the 'y' , he chuckles .

"what are you doing over here?" he says.

you point at athena and blake, he laughs.

"does she do this before every game?" he asks.

you nod, putting a strand of hair behind your ear.

"so... you gonna cheer me on?" he says smirking.

"maybe... if it'll get you to win." you say flirtatiously.

he raises a brow, "oh yeah? if i win will you go to homecoming with me?" he says.

you freeze.... WHAT.
