Ten Reasons Why
Chapter Nine
He stood there, looking handsome as always, staring at me with an unreadable expression.
An expression I hadn't seen on him yet, and desperately wanted to know the meaning of. Then all of a sudden, as if suddenly snapping out of some sort of daze, he sent a small smirk towards my direction,
before looking over at his sister.
"Nice work Del," He said simply. And for some strange reasons,
I felt a tad disappointed. I shook it off and smiled a bit.
"Yeah, thank you for this. I actually feel really great about myself for once," I told her gratefully.
She grinned at me. "It's no problem at all, I like adore giving makeovers."
I chuckled. "I could seriously tell. I think you almost poked my eye out at one point with the mascara brush because you were jumping around with excitement so much."
She smiled sheepishly, before winking at me.
Suddenly realizing that Noah hadn't said anything else since his first comment,
I turned and spotted him now leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, a far away look in his eyes.
He looked so deep in thought, I wondered curiously what he was thinking of so hard.
"Hey, No!" Del exclaimed, trying to get his attention, as she must've also noticed his state.
"Huh?" He snapped his gaze towards her as he said this.
She rolled her eyes. "Lost in thought much?"
He ignored her and stood up, walking towards me.
"Alright, so we've got this part of my plan down. Now all you've gotta do is go to school tomorrow like this and you'll work your magic."
I frowned as I realized I had forgotten the fact that tomorrow, everyone would see me like this.
And suddenly, millions of butterflies formed in my stomach.
"Ye-yep." I stammered. He chuckled. "What, you nervous?" I shrugged, and put a straight face on. "Nah, I'm perfect."
His smirk widened. "Oh yeah? You sure?"
Looking over at him, I stumbled back a bit, surprised at how close he was all of a sudden.
Was he not all the way over there just now?
I suddenly realized his sister had ran off somewhere.
"Y-yes," I stuttered. Our noses were almost touching.
Well, not exactly since he was so much taller than me.
"What's the matter, is my close proximity making you nervous?"
I shook my head.
He leaned in, and I held my breath.
"Well see you at school tomorrow, Rain," He whispered in my ear, before sauntering out.
I exhaled.
