Here As We Are
Noah Armstrong
6♥
Since lunch last week, Clare and I were closer than anything. We were talking more and hanging out more. It was just wonderful. Maybe asking her to homecoming was the best thing I could have done. (if you didn't realize, what he was going to say in the last chapter was, "Will you go to homecoming with me?")
Even though every sing one of my 'friends' were mad at me for talking to her, I stayed on my feet.For once I felt like a polition, stround and independent. I didn't want to have the picuter being friends with Noah gave me. I didn't want to be popular. I wanted to break free, break free from everyone else's expectations. It was time to be myself.
So in History, I took a chance. I told Kevin how I felt and he was going to like it. Even though I already knew what was going to happen.
"Kevin, why were you so rude to Clare the other day?"
"Because she's a nobody." I didn't know a guy could be so self-concious.
"WOW. You popular people really have it cut out for yourselfs.No one is good enough to talk to us!" I spat but he didnt realize that I was being sarcastic.
" Yeah, I guess. But i'm not too sure. You seem to work it out, sleeping with a different girl every night." He picked up on it alright.
" Did you ever stop and think about anybody but yourself. Did you ever stop and think that maybe it was top take out the pain. The pain of a child who is always doing something wrong, and I mean always. Oh and it's not like I live in a mansion with tons of money. No, my sister killed herslef last year, my best friend. My twin. And ever since that happened, my dad drink himself to sleep and before he can pass out he beats me, with a belt. Even through my strong skin, it hurts. It hurts to know that he would do that, that he turned into that. My mom hates it and has now filed for a divorce. It's hard. Now tell me, have you ever stopped to think?" My voice was loud and everyone was starring. I stormed out of the classroom leaving everyone speechless.
I walked down the hall about 20 feet to where Clare's honers English classroom. I flung the door open, more starring.
"May I please excuse Clare for the rest of the period?" I asked the teacher.
"Well I suppose Clare, I will give you your work tomorrow. You are excused" Good. Although Clare was a shade of red that I thought was impossible. She was furious.
"Thank you."
When we were in the hallway, I grabbed Clare's hand and pulled her. I walked strait our of school. It was pouring rain but I didn't care.
Clare pulled herself out of my loose grip around her wrist.
"Noah, where are you raking me?" She yelled over the loud rain, about 5 feet away from me on the sidewalk, a block away from school.
"Does it matter?" I replied.
"Well since I'm missing school, I think it should be somewhere werthwhile."
"Clare!" I walked toward her. "I love you." I pushed her wet hair out of her face, gripped her face with my hands -- continuing to hold her hair out on my way -- and kissed her.
After the kiss, i continued to hold her face. Our faces seperated as we looked at each other and smiled softly.
" Do you really want to do this, a relationship?" she said bitting her lip.
" Well it was a good kiss, and I don't kiss and tell. So in order to me to tell, it would have to be a relationship, you up for the challenge?"
"Readier than ever!" She said as we leaned in for another couple of kisses.
The thing was, the kiss was different. It wasn't me on some other girls lips. This kiss was something and that something felt amazing.
They are finally together. HELLLLLLYEEESSSSS♥
