Valerie:

My weekend in LA went by uneventful. We went at the funeral and then had this delicious dinner with colombian food that i really really missed. But other than that i was just in and out in a couple of days. It was nice meeting with everyone,  but i missed my city.

I was back in Palo alto and I was back to my routine. College,  library, dorm, paint, sleep. My only changes happened when Chris would drag me out to have starbucks,  sleepovers or when i texted Noah for Hours.

I was sketching on my notepad and i found myself drawing yet another drawing of Noah. or well,  what he meant to me. I had developed strong feelings for him. and although we called each other baby sometimes,  we didn’t have a relationship, this texting must be like a child’s play to him.

I was wondering for hours whether or not i should go to that party he invited me to. I had heard about it everywhere,  even the kids from the fraternity were giving out flyers the other day. I wonder if Noah was with them that day…

I was again at Starbucks having a hot chocolate with Chris. He always drank Black coffee ,  but i barely ever did.

“So.. I think i’ll meet Noah on friday” I told him taking a sip from my cup

“What? really? Fina-fucking-ly!” he exclaimed even clapping his hands.

I rolled my eyes and shook my head “You are annoying”

“Cmon V! It’s been what? over a month? and you day dream about a guy that you don’t know”

“I know him!” i protested,  i knew how his personality was,  that was enough for me.

“Well.. but you can’t fuck a phone with his text,  can you?” He said raising his eyebrow, i sighed defeated cuz he would never understand me. He always thought about sex.

“So he told me to go to his frat’s party on friday,  i just don’t know how to make our first encounter more interesting” I asked hoping to get some actual advice.

“The same party the shirtless guys were promoting?”

“yeah…” I said nodding not really caring about that

“So this really cute boy,  That you actually know how he looks,  invited you and you said no. But faceless boy asks you and you accept?” He asked looking annoyed,  but i didn’t care

“that’s exactly what happened” i shrugged not really caring about his face

“You’re unbelievable” He sighed “anyways,  it’s your choice… this Noah could be a psycho killer.. but who am i to judge?” His sarcastic remark made me roll my eyes.

“Anyways I just want to see him and hug him and pinch his cheeks because he is the most adorable lovable guy i’ve talked to” I said looking down at my chocolate biting my lip

“careful V,  you are falling for this kid,  and i don’t want to see you heart broken”

“NOAH!” the barista called ,  I frowned confused and turned my head to the counter slowly so it wouldn't look so obvious. I saw a guy’s back with a hoodie on his head,  he took his coffee and left the place rather quickly.

Chris looked at me “was it… your Noah?”

“i… i don’t know” I said almost like a whisper

“GO get him girl!” he encouraged and i looked down. “If you don’t go,  i’ll do!”

I stood from my table and walked to the exit following the boy. He was already really far

“Noah!” I shouted calling his name ,  he kept walking. probably with earplugs. i tried following him but he turned around the corner and disappeared. I sighed not really knowing if i should keep following him like a creep. It  probably wasn’t My Noah. but a random guy called the same.
