Chapter TwelveTake My Room≋I spent another night at Noah's.We all did. When people were going to head home including Ezra and I, Noah's mom had just gotten home.A beautiful women who was aging gracefully but still looked younger than she was, stepped into the house, the door shutting loudly behind her. She exhaled a deep breath as she closed an umbrella that she was holding.That's when she looked up and noticed a bunch of teenagers looking at her."Hey, Mrs.Coates," Luke and Charlie both grinned, saying hello to Noah's mom."Oh, hello kids. I didn't realize Noah had friends over." She smiled politely and then looked at Jade who was putting her coat on. "Where are you headed? You're not headed home, are you honey?"Jade looked confused as she realized Mrs.Coates was smiling and talking to her. "Oh, yeah I was actually. It's getting quite late and my parents are probably wondering when I'll be home."Mrs.Coates shook her head, looking between all of us in the room. "It's terrible

Chapter ThirteenDouble-Take≋That night wasn't as awkward as I expected it to be. I for some reason thought it would be awkward after mine and Noah's encounter in the kitchen but it wasn't.I was in Noah's room, about to get in bed and go to sleep before he got upstairs because I wanted to stay mad at him and ignore him for now but of course that plan didn't work out when Noah entered his room.I turned around and looked at him standing by the door. He took a step in and shut the door behind him."Do you need an extra blanket?" He asked casually, as if he didn't just trap my in his arms and nearly kiss me in the kitchen. Well, we wouldn't have kissed because he is Noah and wouldn't have kissed me anyways and I was Tiffany who wouldn't have let him kiss me either way. But his lips hovering right above mine was close enough.I narrowed my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest, "no and I can take the recliner." I started walking towards the recliner in his room that was set up in a co

Chapter FourteenI Can Make It Steamy In Here≋I walked out of the bathroom connected to my room after taking a shower."What the fuck?!""Woah, sunshine." Noah laughed sheepishly as his cheeks tinged crimson. He covered his eyes with his hands."What the hell are you doing here?" I gritted the words irritably, holding the towel that was wrapped around my body tightly. With my terrible luck, I wouldn't be surprised if it fell."I thought we were hanging out." A grin danced on his lips but he kept his eyes covered. He was sitting on the edge of the my bed, his body facing me.I exhaled sharply, frustrated. "Yes-because unfortunately you won't leave me alone. I left you downstairs for a reason, you know?"Noah separated his fingers to take a peak at me. He grinned wider-showing his pearly white and perfect teeth when he saw me standing with my arms crossed over my chest, glaring at him."You know," he covered his eyes once again. "Normal people just change in their bathrooms, sunshine.

Chapter FifteenHappy, Like All The Time≋I knew what was happening.I'm not an idiot and I read enough books.Noah and I were clearly getting closer and I was starting to let my guard down around him. Sure, I let him in but I wasn't going to tell him anything about what he really wanted to know - the raven, the bad luck, why I was afraid to get attached.Those memories were locked somewhere deep and far, very, very far at the scary corners at the back of my mind that were filled with cobwebs.I was letting my guard down, letting him know me better but those things, those memories that I left in Saratoga, those things were for me to know and that was it.I didn't even talk about them with Charlie and Ezra so there was no way that Noah would find out about them. That was something I needed to make clear.Anyways, after laying awake all night on Sunday after Noah left my house because Ezra had interrupted what was about to happen, I did some thinking.For the very first time in a long,

Chapter SixteenSketchy Note≋Wednesday at lunch, Luke caught up to me."Hey, princess!" I turned away from my locker where I was putting my things away to see Luke smiling brightly. He hugged me. "Where have you been? I feel like I haven't talked to you in forever."I grinned, "I see you everyday, Luke.""Hey so," he watched me put my things away and close my locker. I looked at him with my eyebrows raised. "What do you say we go to that ice cream parlour from the other day? Just the two of us.""Not the rest of the group?" I was surprised. He usually was good at getting everyone to join in on plans.Luke shrugged as the two of us started walking down the hall, "Well we haven't been talking much so I thought we could catch up, you know? We can tell the others to come if you want, though."I shook my head and smiled at him, "No, I'm fine with us two."Another lunch with Noah was avoided. Honestly, Luke and I had a really good time.He bought me ice cream and we talked crap about math

Chapter SeventeenI Wouldn't Say No To You≋We walked through a door, Noah continuing to hold my hand and guide me until I was standing... in a shower. I looked around until I realized I was in the boys locker room but nobody was around because school ended and there was no practice for any sport going on today.I couldn't tell what Noah was thinking as I looked at him. His face was hard but eyes were soft.My eyes followed him as he stood me under one of the shower heads and then let go of my hand as he reached over to turn the water on."I'll uh... I'll go grab a towel."I didn't say anything as he looked at me for a minute and then walked away from the showers. The hot water rained on me, finally getting my muscles to relax. I didn't realize how tense or how cold I had gotten but once I stood there under the water with my eyes shut for a minute, I already felt a lot better as I tried to stop replaying what just happened in my head.I turned around so I was facing the shower handle

Chapter EighteenNo Beef≋The next day at school was kind of hell. I was beyond, beyond thankful that it was a Friday but it didn't help the day go by any faster.All day at school people were staring and murmuring quietly as I walked by. Nobody had the guts to laugh even if they wanted to because although Madison pulled that stunt, they had all seen me tell her off and almost beat her face to pulp three times so nobody was going to laugh in my face.Madison was nowhere to be seen which was good because it meant she was scared but it was also disappointing because I wanted to watch her go into armadillo mode when I glare at her because everyone knew she was still scared of me... and of Noah.I walked through the halls like a living Mona Lisa, knowing very well all the stares and hushed conversations were directed at me. However, thanks to Ezra who I had by my side, he would give people a cold and harsh look that would instantly make them scatter away. He was intimidating like that."

Chapter NineteenAfraid Of The Possibility≋I leaned against my locker, continuously tapping my door anxiously as I waited for Noah who said he'd meet me here after class. I stared at the ground to avoid looking up and see people who were still staring at me from the incident yesterday."Hey," I looked up to see Noah. "Ready to hit the books?"I nodded quietly as the two of us made our way to the school library.We got into the math basically right away. There were only a few other kids in the library but by 7 pm it had completely cleared out, the librarian not even in sight.The janitor ended up kicking us out shortly after that because the school library was closed so we ended up sitting in the dimly sit hallway, our backs leaned against lockers with our books and papers scattered in front of us on the floor.It had been over four hours at this point.We had done nothing but work on math as Noah continued explaining more things that I couldn't understand. By the time he finished he
