around to face the teacher again. My insides were screaming and there was a temper tantrum going on in my stomach but my head was being more reasonable. I promised Lindsey and Sue that Lindsey would drive me home and I didn't want to cause any more trouble. Noah would have to wait. Besides, he probably was just being nice, surely he knew Stacey had practice and was just being a good neighbor. I forced him out of my head, with the exception of sneaking occasional glances at him, but he didn’t turn around again.
After class I took my time gathering my books since I knew Lindsey had to meet me outside of class and was surprised that Noah appeared by my desk and scooped up my books. Smiling he said “at least until we get you a book bag”. Oh man, my heart was beating so fast. He is so perfect. I just laughed at his remark and let him follow me into the hall with my books. Lindsey was waiting and looked really excited.
“ Oh my gosh!” she was squealing but trying to keep her voice down “Sean and Jake just invited us to the beach with them, I already told Stacey where you’d be and she OK’ed it with her mom if you want to come. Say you’ll come!” She was practically dancing now, then when she slowed enough to see that Noah was standing there with me leaned against a locker, so casually sexy in spite of his heavy load of books he was carrying, ok well that last part was my thought, but she fumbled then smiled, eyes lifted in semi shock. “Oh! Noah, hi! Um… did you want to come with us to the beach?” Noah and I looked at each other and I gave him a begging look.
“ Sure – on one condition, I’ll take her home to get her suit since your house is the other way and I’ll assume you need to get yours too. Don't want to keep the boys waiting.” He winked, and her I both sighed in relief.
“ Assumption correct”, she turned to me, “is that ok with you?”
“ Yeah, yeah, go!” Me and Noah both flashed our dazzling smiles at her, which seemed to strike her because she stood there looking at us strange for a second then turned and practically skipped off leaving me and Noah standing there awkwardly. “Well,” he cleared his throat “I guess I’ll be taking you home after all”.
“ Give me some of these”. I rolled my eyes and reached for my books but he was too fast and ducked way leaving me to follow him down the hall, until he stopped at another locker, his I assumed since he was opening the lock, and he started putting them in. I started to protest but he said “You won’t be needed these tonight”.
I didn't have anything good to say to that so I shrugged content to watch him. We were both quiet on the ride to my house and I began wondering if he really was just doing Stacey a favor by being nice to me. I looked myself over and started to smooth my hair and caught him silently looking at me perplexed and I blushed in embarrassment. “What?”
“ What yourself?” He reached over and put his hand on mine, which made my whole body tense, and turned his eyes back to the road. “What’s wrong?”
I swear my heart stopped for a moment at his warm touch and soft voice. “Nothing” I sighed, and I genuinely meant it. He looked at me again and frowned, hand still on mine. He squeezed it slightly, “Do tell” he murmured. The only thing my mind was thinking was that he was holding my hand and all I managed to squeak out was “I’m just excited to go to a beach is all”.
He glanced over again and nodded, thoughtfully. He let it go though and lightened the mood. “Yeah I’m excited too, I haven’t been in too long, do you surf?” Me? Surf? I hadn’t thought about it. I suppose I sort of surfed when back at home, willing myself to be light as a feather under the moonlight and using my body as a board to glide over the waves. “It’s not a tough question” he laughed, “I don't surf but those dizzy kids do is why I asked”.
