"I didn''t know that Noah would be that hot! His perfect jawline was just so deadly, Raine! If I were you, I would always make him angry!" Jess laughed flirty.

    "You don''t know how that face made me feel like I''m dying that night. I just wanted to pull your hairs!" I glared at them.

    I was thankful that Noah and I had reconciled that night or else, I rant at my friends all night.

    "Just be happy that your baby didn''t didn''t leave you!" And Sam had the loudest laugh.

    Oh god. I should go now.

    "I need to go now. You''re starting to tease me again!" I placed my bag on my shoulder.

    I needed to go on the shop early, so Noah doesn''t have to wait for me. I told him that he didn''t have to pick me up today, because I wanted to commute. And it''s a miracle that he let me do that. I''m happy.

    "Take care, bitch!" My friends shouted as soon as I stepped outside.

    What a brats.

    I walked faster through the elevator so I could go in quickly. After that, I immediately headed towards the lobby and went outside. I just walked to the streets since I''m used to it. I wanted to commute today ''cause I missed it. I''m sure there will be no next time after this. I know Noah was just giving a chance.

    "Come on, Sarah! We''re running late!"

    "Wait! Look at that book! It''s beautiful, Jane!"

    The two girl students were standing on the side of a bookstore while looking at the new published book. Yeah, it really looked good.

    I smiled when I saw my book. It''s the last piece that I wrote before I quit. I was the one who designed it and it''s just felt good that others appreciate it.

    "It''s my favorite author girl! I wanted to buy it, let''s go!" They started to go inside.

    I was kind of sad thinking that it was the last piece. I wouldn''t be able to write when I started to go to college soon.

    "Oh! Look, I''m early right?" Adrian appeared on my face as soon as I arrived the shop.

    He''s waiting for me and it''s just a relief that I really decided to go early or else he''ll wait until his eyes went white.

    "Yeah. You''re lucky," I smiled and opened the door.

    "You looked good today, Ms. Scott!" His voice sounds so hyper. This man is really something.

    "And you won''t see her again if you continue to do that on work,"

    We heard a baritone voice so I immediately turn my eyes on him. He''s wearing a khaki slacks and a plain black shirt. My mouth parted in his look for today. His hair was a fixed on one side which made him looked so clean and handsome. I wanted to compliment his bright skin but I remember that we''re on work.

    "Uh. I didn''t mean to flirt with Ms. Scott, S-sir.." Adrian''s face looked so scared now.

    Noah was standing in front of us while his brows are furrowed. I bet he''s annoyed with what he heard. But for me, it doesn''t mean anything. Adrian was just complimenting me, like I know that I''m pretty and it''s natural that other people noticed it.

    "IT''S A JOKE!" Noah smiled widely which made us startled.

    He''s really stupid. I thought he''s serious or what. He doesn''t even noticed how scared Adrian was with his reaction earlier.

    How crazy of him to do that.

    "You scared me, Sir!" Adrian shouted with his eyes open.

    I wanted to laugh with his reaction because he looked really startled. How funny!

    "Why are you suddenly screaming, then?!" And now Noah''s eyes got bigger too.

    Their faces was just so epic which made me laugh so hard. It''s not actually that serious but you can see in their faces that they''re both annoyed.

    So this is their first encounter, huh? How lucky!

    "Go on. Don''t mind me," I told them, because they''re obviously interrupted.

    "Go back to your posts!" I chuckled when Noah ordered that.

    I immediately turned my back at the and started to work on my post. As usual, we have a lot of customers but thank God, Noah decided to put a temporary computer inside his office so he can help us finish it quickly. He said that he''s bored on his unit so he decided to work here.

    Which is really helpful for us.

    "Are you happy?" He asked.

    We''re currently sitting here at the park because we just got out off work. He asked me if we can just stay outside to get some air before we go home, so I let him. I wanted to spend time with him too.

    "Of course. I''m happy that I didn''t want to end it anymore.." I smiled and stared at the sky that''s full of stars.

    "That''s true. I''m happy because you''re happy.." He answered which made me turn to him. I swallowed hard when he gave me a mysterious smile. "That I also don''t want to end it.."

    I wish for it too.. I wish you''re happy..

    "You''re going to school next week right?" He can''t hide his sadness and at the same time excitement in his voice.

    "Yeah. I''m nervous," I held my chest and laughed.

    Time flew really fast. It''s been a while when I decided to go back to school and even faced a lot of challenges. But look at me now, I''m ready to go to school..

    "Don''t be. You can do it. I got your back baby," He winked at me.

    "Look at you boasting again. If I ever get some news that you''re abusing yourself, you''ll be dead." I warned him. I know that he''s stubborn so I really need to spy on him.

    "You sound like my mom, baby. I feel like you''re really in love with me." He chuckled which made my face heated.

    "Idiot! Of course, I am!" I rolled my eyes.

    "I know," he chuckled and kissed my forehead.

    We decided to go home after that. We also needed to rest and as the time falls rapidly, I keep thinking about the possibilities when I leave.

    Noah would be probably sad and I didn''t want that. He''s just showing that he''s whole-heartedly happy but deep inside, he''s sad because he''ll be left alone.

    A few days has passed again and it''s getting scarier for me. I don''t know how to act like I still know about the stuffs on school. It makes me feel worried thinking that I''m not that used to it anymore.

    I feel like it''s my first time. It''s silly of me to think of that.

    "Ready?" Noah asked as soon as he entered our apartment.

    He''s waiting for me on the living room with my friends. I am now wearing my civilian outfit since my uniform was being processed.

    "Kind of?" I answered nervously.

    Noah offered to drive me there and he''ll also going to fetch me later. I told him that he doesn''t need to do that but he''s just so stubborn so I had no choice but to let him.

    No one could ever stop him anyway..

    "You can do that, bitch! Just think of your professors that they''re Noah. I''m sure, you''ll be motivated!" Jessy said. And with that, everyone laughed.

    Her mouth was full of gibberish words really. This girl''s crazy!

    "No one could ever beat my baby!" I snap back.

    Their mouths parted with my answer. It''s like, they aren''t expecting me to speak about it. Even Noah..

    "Wow! That''s the confidence that I wanted to come out from you!" Gia clapped her hands and everyone did the same.

    Damn it!

    I bit my lower lip in so much embarrassment. Noah''s smiling beside me and I just don''t have the courage to look at him. It''s too embarrassing.

    "Just calls us if you need something, we will do our best to help you bitch. Just behave, okay?" Sam walked towards me and hugged me. I felt touched with her caressed on my back. It felt comforting.

    "And if you''re having a hard time on your subjects, there''s our genius friend," Jess''s pointed at Gia who''s now holding a book.

    She really loves book and I can''t blame her for that. But I''m more surprised when I realized that it''s my book she was reading!

    "Y-ou''re reading..t-that?" I stuttered. No way.

    "Yeah. It''s a great book, the author really knows what kind of story would be the best in this generation,"

    My mouth parted because of that. I didn''t expect Gia to read that because she''s a bit picky with everything.

    "Yeah. That book is really good. I''ve read all of her books and it''s really good. I admired her for being so goodddd!"

    "Okay. Let''s stop talking now, Raine will go now." And because of that, we bid our goodbye on them and went straightly at school.

    Noah was a bit silent now but I understand what he''s thinking right now.

    "Are you okay?" I''m so worried.

    "Y-yeah. Why won''t I ?" He glanced at me and smiles.

    "Your face doesn''t tell it right," I smirked.

    I know he''s bothered and I can''t blame him.

    "Take care okay? I will come back later. Text me if you''re already out, baby.." He kissed my forehead as soon as we arrived at the school front.

    I can''t move on with the feeling that I really need to come forward and face the reality.

    My legs are shaking when we arrived there and it feels so crazy inside. I feel like someone was digging my stomach inside.

    Gosh! Is this real?
