Chapter EightScrew. You. All.≋I walked out to the school parking lot to meet Ezra who was giving me a ride home when I was stopped. A hand yanked my arm causing me to abruptly turn around, a scowl on my face as I felt fingernails dig into my skin."What the fuck?" I glared at Madison, yanking my arm out of her grasp. "Ever heard of personal space or are you really as uneducated as you look?" This time she wasn't alone; her sidekick who was a tall light-skin girl with long, curly brown hair and brown eyes also glared at me.Madison glared at me as she crossed her arms over her chest and gave me a disgusted look, "Listen, I don't know who you are to think you can just waltz into this school and expect everyone to love you because they love your brother but that's not how things work around here. That group - Noah, Lukey and all of them only put up with you because they're friends with your brother so don't get it twisted.""What exactly am I getting twisted?" crossing my arms over my

Chapter NineMy Knight In Shining Armour≋I groaned when Noah pulled into the driveway at my house. He gave me a funny look, "What'd I do now?""Not you, idiot." I grumbled, rolling my eyes at him. "It's Ezra.. and Charlie. I need to apologize and...""You're not very good at it?" Noah offered, finishing my thoughts for me. I glared at him at which he put his hands up in defence to. "What? The devil apologizes now?"I reached over and punched his shoulder while he laughed at me, "Oh, screw off. I can apologize, I just... I bitched at you guys okay, it's pathetic."Noah looked at me more seriously now, "They're not mad at you, sunshine. We all understand you weren't trying to yell at us, you just took your frustration out on us and that's okay."I looked at Noah, thinking for another minute before I opened the car door and got out after grabbing my bag.I wasn't surprised when Noah also got out of his car and followed to the front door. I had picked up that Charlie's- now also my hous

Chapter TenThat Is A Fantastic Idea!≋The rest of the week passed with me not talking to Noah whatsoever. He could tell I needed space which he gave me but he also made a few attempts to talk to me at which I would simply turn around, slam my locker in his face, or walk away.This probably seems very extra and dramatic but it wasn't to me. Okay, maybe it was a little bit but every time I looked at him now, all I could see was him falling off a cliff which sounds just as messed up as it's making me.Here I was thinking I'm not attached when clearly I already am.This was what I was avoiding. Now I hardly know much about the guy, nor are we very close but I'm already attached seeing as his one minor comments has throw me into a fit of paranoia.I am not an idiot; I know Noah isn't just going to fall off a cliff or the face of the earth but thinking about having to be around him means I will eventually get more attached the further the friendship grows and that means more burden and wo

Chapter ElevenA Raven≋When I woke up the next morning, I was utterly confused for a couple of minutes.I blinked my eyes a couple of times, adjusting to the light when I noticed I was not in my bedroom. Not the one in Saratoga Springs and not the one in Long Grove.I was about to sit up when I felt a weight on me. That's when the previous night started flooding back into memory, the morning daze wearing off as I woke up more.I looked down to see Noah's arm around my waist as he hugged me with his head nuzzled into the crook of my neck.Oh how cliché, as if my life were a cheesy novel.We were on the third episode of Prison Break when we fell asleep, as far as I can recall.My head was on his shoulder as I stared at the tv screen, oddly intrigued while I slowly ate the popcorn.Noah was more intrigued by my reactions as he had already seen the show before.He was eating the popcorn and watching me like I was the show. It sounds creepy but it was fun because he kept laughing when I

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,
