Noah
"Noah, pick one already. We've been here all day." My best friend Luke impatiently looked at me, waiting for me to pick a cereal. We were currently in a grocery store getting a bunch of snacks.
"Relax, will you," I rolled my eyes as I continued to skim through the shelves to find a cereal. I was feeling picky today.
"I'm going to go find chips since you won't hurry up." Luke slapped my back - hard - before he grinned and walked off. I rolled my eyes.
"I saw that!" He called out being halfway down the aisle.
"No you didn't!" I mimicked him, shouting back to him. I laughed and shook my head before focusing on the cereal again.
Finally, I decided on Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I grabbed the box and turned to go find Luke.
"Woah," I mumbled, stumbling slightly after I walked right into someone. "I'm sorry." I quickly stated as I bent down to pick up the two boxes of cereal that had fallen.
I stood up and held out the cereal the other person dropped when I locked eyes with the most mesmerizing hazel eyes. They were a greyish green with light brown around the pupil. Her skin was quite pale and hair was brown and wavy as if she just came from the beach. She was kind of really... attractive.
She wore a white t-shirt with a black hoodie that was unzipped on top of it, her hood was on her head, putting shadows around her face a bit, along with black jeans and black vans.
She grabbed her box of cereal, "Watch where you're going, hotshot."
"Hotshot?" I questioned, an eyebrow raised as she had already started walking away from me.
She turned and looked at me again, "Yeah."
"Why?"
She gave me a hard stare, not holding an expression except for a straight face. "Because you're starring at me with your twinkling eyes as if that's going to make me drop to my knees for you."
My eyes slightly widened at her response because it was very unexpected. I chuckled, "You're not too peachy, are you?"
"Actually I'm quite fine." She smiled a tight lipped smile that was anything but genuine. "No thanks to you, though."
I laughed once again causing her to narrow her eyes at me. "What's funny?"
I shook my head as I grinned at her, "You don't seem quite fine. You seem quite mad, actually."
She looked at me with that hard and cold look that hadn't left for even a moment. She looked drained out and exhausted like she hadn't slept in a while but somehow still looked beautiful. "It wouldn't be any of your concern anyway."
"Why not?" I questioned, raising my eyebrow in an almost challenging manner. I leaned against the shelves in the grocery store, holding my cereal box to my chest as I crossed my arms over my chest.
She licked her lips as she analyzed my face, "Why not?" She repeated, "why would it be your concern if I was mad like you say? I don't know you, nor would I want to get to know you. If you don't know someone, it's hard for them to be important and if they aren't important you can't be concerned because they are irrelevant to you."
A grin grew on my lips even more as I watched her in pure amusement. She was something else, alright. "Maybe it's just basic humanity that gets one concerned about another's well being."
"In that case, no thank you."
"No thank you?" I now looked at her in confusion.
"No thank you," she said slower and firmly. "My well being and I do not need your concern."
Before I had a chance to say anything else, she had already spun on her heel and walked away.
"Who was that?" Lucas asked as he came up behind me and watched the girl walk away.
I kept my eyes on her until I could no longer see her. "Just... a girl."
Luke looked at me, narrowed his eyes and then smirked, "Homeboy got a crush?" He punched my shoulder.
I looked at him in disbelief, "Shut the fuck up, Luke. I don't even know her name."
"Oh Romeo, Romeo, where art thou Romeo." Luke exclaimed loudly and dramatically as I started to walk about from him. "Wait up!" He yelled behind me which caused me to shake my head and laugh as I continue walking away from my idiotic best friend.
"Did you bring the textbook back?" I asked Luke as I rummaged through my backpack at my locked and couldn't find my physics textbook.
"Uh..."
"Luke." I turned and gave him a cold look.
"I'm sorry!" He put his hands up in defence. "I may have lost it."
"The school is going to make me pay for it, you know." I muttered in frustration as I zipped up my backpack and swung it around onto my shoulders.
"Your family is loaded and your parents won't care." Luke retorted, trying to make it easier for himself. "And you can just steal another one from the classroom and nobody will notice."
"I had notes written in that one, jackass." I punched his shoulder causing him to punch me back.
"Will you guys stop it?" Jade, a friend of ours pushed the two of us away from each other which got Luke to snicker since he got the last punch. "You guys act like little bratty children."
"You love us, Jada, darling." Luke smiled cheekily as he swung an arm around Jade who pushed him off because she hated when he called her Jada.
