chapter 2 -  noel

___________________________________________________

I couldn't stop staring. I felt allured into her presense. I felt like she was a shower: I never wanted to get in, but when I do, I don't want to get out. She sat with her feet up on her chair, and her head on her knees. She never spoke in class, and she never made eye contact with me. Everyday she came to school, a different hairstyle, makeup look, or style. But today, July 17th, she came into the classroom with sweatpants, no makeup, hair in a bun, and slippers. She sat in her chair normally. I finally heard her voice for the first time. She raised her hand high, and the teacher answered.
"Yes, Noel?"
So that was her name. It fit her, I guess.
"My nose is bleeding."
It wasn't like I could see her nose bleeding. But somehow, I felt like she wasn't lying. The teacher nodded and waved his hand.
"Go to the nurse's office."
"I'm very dizzy. Can Markus accompany me?"
I think at that moment, my mind drew out to a blank. White fuzz. Did she just ask me to take her to the nurses office? I was so confused. Why her? She was so touch, couldn't she just do it herself? Lazy a/ss. Before I could construct an idea in my head, she was grabbing my arm and pulling me down the hall. I was too flustered to say anything; I think that if I did, it wouldn't sound like English at all. She stopped and turned around. Her face was flushed dark red.
"Y-you're coming to my house!"
