Trouble | Noah Beck

N I N E T E E N

"homecoming? really?" athena asked as you both walked back to the bleachers.

you nod, "and what did you say?" she says.

"of course i said yes, i wasnt going to reject him... especially with how hot he is" you say chewing on the inside of your cheek.

"what about noah" she says as you both sat down on the top row.

"i caught him making out with little marilyn , so i guess it isnt a 'break' we really are over" you say scanning the field as the cheerleaders performed their same cheers.

you see marilyn in the crowd , along with nat and jess. she had noah's jersey number written on her cheek with eyeliner. you cringed at the sight.

"are you kidding? the same girl who tried to manipulate him into breaking up with you?" she says disgusted.

you shrug your shoulders, "i dont really care anymore... he made his own bed, now he has to sleep in it" you say smirking as you watched as Blake, Noah, Vinnie and the rest of the players ran out to the field. you had forgot that your school was playing against Graysons again. he looked up at you, sending you a slight smile that you also returned.

you watched his team jog out too. "look at my man" says Athena, referring to Blake.

"how are things going with you two?" you ask.

"amazing, he's the sweetest boy ever" she says blushing.

"wow, cant relate" you say crossing your arms and sitting back.

"oh c'mon... you have vinnie and maybe grayson chasing after you, that sounds like a dream" she says .

you sigh, "your missing the point, you expect me to get over noah in a matter of hours." you say.

"well he did" she says . it was sad but true .

you shake your head, "there's something going on within... this isnt something he would do. i saw marilyn whisper something in his ear earlier." you say.

"she couldve said anything D..." she sighs.

"but what if it wasn't just anything?! she could've pressured him into dating her.. or even something else worse!" you exclaim.

"Denali... your going to have to move on." she says rubbing your shoulder.

you didnt want to, but you had to face it.

you nod, "cheer up, its almost halftime... and our team is winning!" she says clapping.

you giggle, "im hungry... im going to get nachos, you want some?" you ask grabbing your purse.

"nah, go ahead.. but you better be up here in like 10 minutes or im going to go down and get you myself." she says.

you push her playfully as you both laugh.

coincidentally, vinnie happened to be benched at the moment. you walk down the stairs onto the green grass. the line to the concession stand was pretty short.

you go and take your place, tapping your foot anxiously as you waited. two people still stood in front of you.

you feel a tap on your shoulder, you jump turning around, it was grayson.

"well well well, long time no see." he says smirking.

"i-...hi gray" you say pushing a piece of hair behind your ear.

"hey im sorry... for you know calling you a-" he says scratching the back of his head.

"its fine, i would be pissed too if your ex should up after we fucked." you giggle .

he laughs, "getting a snack?" he asks .

you nod , smiling slightly.

"me too, my treat?" he says .

"no its fi- .. shouldnt you be playing?" you say snapping out of your anxious trance.

"nope, im benched... coach caught me hooking up with a girl in the locker room." he says biting the inside of his cheek.

you giggle, "wow.. wh-"

"i dont know either, she said she was turned on by the smell of sweat?" he says fumbling with his fingers.

"ew" you say disgusted.

"yup, dropped her real quick after that." he says, you both laugh.

grayson was actually a pretty chill person... if only you got to know his personality before fucking him.

"denali!" you hear someone yell, you turn and see vinnie seated on the bench , he waves for you to come over .

"hold that thought... i'll just come down and get a snack later, i need to talk to him." you say to grayson, he nods.

"are you two like a thing?" he asks smirking.

"not really, he just asked me to homecoming." you reply.

"mhmm ... sure" he says, you playfully hit him.., walking over to vinnie.

you approached him, he was dripping in sweat .. which was pretty gross.

"hey, you talking to dolan?" he asks, tilting his head slightly.

"we're just friends." you reply crossing your arms and leaning against the fence.

"friends who.... fuck eachother." he says raising a brow.

is he jealous? i cannot deal with another man like this.

"it was a one time thing... we dont see eachother in that way. in plus, i have you and homecoming ." you smile.

he nods , "so we're for sure going?" he asks.

"yeah, why wouldnt we?" you reply.

"well, your gorgeous... and im just pretty basic so." he says fumbling with his fingers.

a rush of confidence washes over you, you grab his hand. he looks up at you.

"you're fine.... dont think of yourself like that, and in my opinion .. you're hot." you say smirking.

he laughs, "well thanks, you....too" he responds.

you giggle. he stands up holding out his arms for a hug.

"you're really sweaty vin." you say.

"so?" he runs up to you, wrapping his arms around you, picking you up and spinning you around.

"stop!" you laugh. he puts you down, but still has his hand placed at your waist . you both go silent as you look at eachother .

"do i get a kiss?" he whispers as his eyes stared at your lips.

"if you win, yes, if you lose, well thats just too bad" you say smirking.

"we'll see about that" his coach calls him into the game . he sighs, winking at you before walking away.

you hear someone obnoxiously clear their throat behind you, you turn around and see Athena.

" bitch.. i've been waiting for you for like the past 20 minutes." she says crossing her arms.

"oh shit, im sorry .. i got caught up with vinni-"

"and you dont even fucking have snacks!" she groans.

you giggle, "well, lets get back up there."

she rolls her eyes following you up to the bleachers.
