Chapter 12: It’s Enough, Noah

Astrid's POV:

The next day I went to college and sat beside Noah again. He didn't speak anything. Then Lucas said in sign language to come out. I got out and then Noah started looking at me. But I didn't react and went out with Lucas.

"Let's skip the college" he said.

"Are you crazy!" I yelled. I was shocked.

"it's because then you'll not need to stay after college"

"But"

"That's safer, Ari"

"Okay" I said and went out with him. We went to some park and had fun. Then we went to eat ice cream. Then he took me to shopping mall and then we went to eat in a restaurant. I was enjoying myself.

Noah's POV:

She's not coming back. It's going to be lunch soon. Lucas is not here too. I think he convinced her to skip college. He's ruining her. She's so good in studies. Because of him.. She'll stop studying. I have to talk to her today.

Astrid's POV:

It's been so much time. This is the first time I've missed the college. But it's fun to break the rules sometime.

"Do you want to meet up with Ava?" he asked me.

"Well yea" I spoke.

"So let's get back now "

"Okay" I said and followed him back.

I waited for Ava at the gate. I guess Lucas went to meet his friend. Then Ava came and started asking thousands of questions. I answered them but she was quite angry and disappointed. She told me that I should focus on studies and shouldn't miss my college like this. I promised her I won't repeat it. Just then I saw Noah coming towards me. I stood there watching him come.

"Meet me at café at 5" he said and went.

What is this. They can come and tell me to meet them like this??

"Hey! Why did he say so??" Ava asked me.

"I don't know.. I'll see" I said and then we both went back home.

I was thinking about the past days. I've changed remarkably. And I don't understand what's happening around me. I don't know who's right and who's wrong. I don't know who's good and who's bad. And right now, I'll have to consider everything to figure that out.

Just then my eyes saw the watch. 4—50. Oh god, I've to meet him at 5. I got ready and I got there five minutes late.

"Hello Astrid" he said.

"Noah, what's it?" I asked directly.

"Are you so busy with him that you can't even greet me?" he asked.

"Sorry.. Then.. Hello Noah" I said.

"Sit here" he pointed towards a seat. I sat.

"I'm telling you somethings.. You don't need to respond to them.. Just listen" he said.

"Okay" I agreed.

"Actually.. Yesterday I talked with Lucas about you.. So, he... He told me that he doesn't love you" he said.

I'm sorry guys, but I can't control my anger. Can't everyone see that he loves me? I really can't figure out what is his problem.

"As I said don't react or respond. I'm just warning—" he was speaking when I interrupted.

"It's enough Noah. That's enough. Please, stop interfering. Please" I said and went out of the café.

I could see that he patted so hard on the table that everyone was shouting at him.

I didn't stop there and went back to my house. I was angry. I received a call from Lucas.

"Hi Lue" I said.

"Hi Ari. What happened? You're sounding like you're so angry?"

"What no.. I'm fine."

"Okay good" he said.

"So?" I asked.

"Did you enjoy the day?" he asked.

"Yup I did" I said.

"Great.. Have you done your assignment?" he asked.

"Yes I did it yesterday"

"Wow cool. Can you.. Send me?"

"Okay" I said.

"Thank you, bye" he said.

"Bye" I said, and the call was cut.

Oh this assignment... Mam told that it should not be copied.. What if he copies... Hey what the hell am I thinking. It’s of course fine!

And I sent him the assignment.

The next day I got to the college, and he was not on the gate. Of course, I'm talking about Lucas. But maybe he was busy. I went inside and sat beside Noah. He didn't look at me, nor did I.

Ms. Sophie came and asked for the assignments she gave two days before. We all submitted the assignment and then the classes went on.

It was lunch and I and Ava had a lot of fun. Yea, I had made a rule. I'll spend a day with Lue and the other with Ava.

The lunch was going on when the class president came to me.

"Ms. Sophie is calling you to her office. Go now. And yeah, be prepared. She sounds dangerous" he said. He's a friendly classmate.. But Ms. Sophie isn't.

Oh god. What's happening!
