Monday

When Marwah arrived at school, she went directly to the locker section. She opens her locker and takes some books out before turning around. David standing nearby her She takes a step back. "You scared me," Marwah said as she closed her locker. "What are you doing here?"

David scratch his neck, "oh sorry, nothing I was passing by but I saw you, so I wanted to say hi" he said with his flirty voice.

She wanted to roll her eyes at him. "That's nice of you" she whisper, but David heard it.
"How was your weekend? I missed you"
David said walking by her side. Marwah made distance "Good" her reply came

"Are you looking for someone?" David ask, since marwah was looking around. "There" she pointed at Nathaly and gicel was standing in the hall. She walk up to them, gicel saw marwah, she quickly walk up to her and hugged her.

"How are you bestie" she said with smile
Marwah nodded with smile. Marwah walk up to Nathaly and gave her hug. "Hey, David" gicel said
"Hi" he smile back.

David eyes went up to Nathaly, Nathaly look at him
"David meet Nathaly our another bestie" gicel said
"Hi" David forward his hand, Nathaly shake his hand "hi" just then the bell ring. "Ahh, let's go to class" marwah said to gicel

"Alright we will see you both later" gicel said smiling at David and Nathaly.

David and Nathaly had their first period together, it turns out.

Marwah and Gicel enter the classroom.
They sat down and began conversing.
When Noah walks into class. He kept his gaze fixed on her. She didn't even look at him, even though she knew he was watching her. He took his time approaching his seat at the back.

She gets this wired feeling around him, the feeling she never had with anyone. She knew that was no good. Specially when he confessed that he likes her.

To her relief noah didn't bother at all since she was sitting in the front she didn't get to look. She did brought the gift with her in her bag. She call gicel and Nathaly she explained everything to them Sunday. Nathaly was shock and to say she was bit jealous. Gicel was so happy and excited for Marwah. She straight up told Marwah he likes her. Their words didn't comfort her.

Lunch time

Gicel Marwah and Nathaly were seated in the café, talking and laughing. When David arrives at their table. Nathaly was happy to see him again.

Just when Noah enter the cafeteria, he saw them laughing, but all he could see was David beaming at Marwah.

Before he could react. Allen came up to him.
"he's David the new kid here, he has classes with marwah" Noah nods
"He needs to stay away from her; she's always uncomfortable with me when I'm around her, and look up there, she's laughing because of him."

"Don't be concerned. However, you must spend some time with her. So she may get to know you and feel at ease around you." Allen said tapping his shoulder.

Biology class 2nd.

"Hello my love " Marwah look up from her phone to David. He smirk and sat down next to her.

He came half hour late.

She smile at him and turn her attention back to her phone. "We have the same class and you left me, we could have walk together." She look at him  "David." Marwah said putting her phone down on the desk.
"Yes" he said turning to her.

"What are you doing?" She question him.

"You're acting different around me." He smirks "so you finally notice-" he was cut off when Mr. Tom told them to shut it.

The rest of the class they were busy doing work.

And David turn his seat around and started talking to other girls. Which Marwah was thankful for, cause now she could do her work in peace. After all she is an introvert.

—

The third period began later in the afternoon.

She uses the restroom first, as she always does before going to 3rd class, because she despises getting out of her seat and having to ask the teacher for permission. Her anxiety level will skyrocket. She first noticed David and Nathaly as she entered her class.

"Hey," she remarked as she approached them. Nathaly turned around and hugged her. "So I talked to the teacher about the project, he didn't agree, but he assigned me a different partner, which I have to shift to their table," she says as she pulls back. Marwah nods "OK, see you later and bye David" Nathaly says smirking and walking away.

She sat next to David, ensuring that they were at a safe distance. She raised her eyes to David, who was already smirking at her. "Do you want to get together after school?" "For what?" "Because we need to brainstorm ideas and talk about the project."
Marwah nodded, "hm, ok, I'll inform you when we'll meet up later," Her reply satisfy him.

"You know you have this beautiful long eye lashes." He added.

"I'm busy David." He laughed at her reply as she started sketching some ideas.

4th period class

Mr. Evens ordered everyone to switch seats, and this was their assigned seat. "Now sit with your partners and go to work." He added.

Gicel gives Marwah a sad grin as she picks up her books and walks away. Marwah was fidgeting with her fingers, not wanting to see Noah since she was nervous of him and knew he was nothing but trouble.

When Noah sat next to her, she was deep in thinking.
"Hello," he began as he turned to face her; "hello," she replied, keeping her gaze fixed on the page in front of her.

"Are you thinking about me?" He suddenly inquires.
Marwah raised her head and looked him in the eyes, "No," she responded solemnly. His eyes light blue eyes affects her and she knows it.

Closing her eyes for a second she continued "What were you saying last night? Are you out of your mind?" She said

He lean on the desk and stare at her "everything I said was true, I really like you. Do you know who I am." Noah added the last sentence perhaps something in her would change after knowing who he is truly, Noah Jackson.

"I exactly know who you are, I don't like you, please put that in your mind. Now let me focus on my work" Noah lean closer to her, she lean back
"Why don't you like me?" She didn't answer not meeting his eyes.

Her heart beat increasing.
"You didn't wear the bracelet?" She look up again, she totally forgot about it.

She turn around and looking into her bag she puts it on his desk. "Because I'm not going to, take it back"

Noah was confused she was the first girl, who didn't care about him or who he is? "Done?" She question
"Yes love" she look at him like 'are you okay?'

"don't call me love"

"okay, love"

She ignored him and resumed her work.

Marwah was reading and writing at the same time. Noah was staring at her, her lips, her skin, and the way she moved. He thought to himself, "She's unique."

He took the bracelet box in his hand and look at it, for some reason he was happy that she return it. Her intentions were not bad such gold digger.

Everyone began to leave school around 2 p.m. While Noah awaited Marwah's arrival. He was heading up the hallway, obviously clueless to what was going on around him. He bumped with someone. When he looked up, he saw marwah, the person he had been looking for. Marwah looked at him and murmured, "I'm sorry."

She sat and swiftly grabbed her books. She stood up straight. He didn't move or say anything. She took a step back, turned around, and began walking. When he awoke from his daydream, he saw her walk away. He ran forward and took a position in front of her.

Marwah look at him confused, "You bumped into me" he said. " I already apologize" she reply.

Noah smirk "your apology is not accepted"
Marwah Roll her eyes "Then what do you want?"

"I know this one good place, have coffee with me. Then I will THINK if I should accept your apology."

Marwah smile at his answer "and what made you think I will agree to go with you."

Noah smile "you will love, because no one ever rejects me" he lean close.

Marwah step back "well, guess what I marwah reject you, now move out of my way" he didn't move, but she quickly walk away fast.

Noah lost his temper, he suddenly turn around quickly grabbed her wrist. She dropped her books,
And landed on his chest. Marwah was so shocked at his behavior. She step back, but he was holding her wrist tight.

"How dare you to touch me-" she was cut of by Noah
"Didn't I tell you not to ignore, specially when I am talking to you. Stop moving, You will have coffee with me, because I said so, and don't you dare to reject me, I will stand here all day holding your hand, for you to agree with me. And you don't agree with me. I will KISS you right now."

Marwah was shock, she didn't expect this from him. She saw his expression he look mad. She knew to take it easy, she was holding her tears.

This was what she was fearing from. She hated when someone yells at her.

"Now answer me, you have two options, or I will pick it for you." Noah said with serious tone.

Marwah realized that now was not the time to argue with him, so she began to speak gently "Look, Noah, I need to get home because I have an important family matter to attend to, but i will go with you to have coffee. Some other day I promise"

marwah She tried to look into his eyes, but she couldn't. Her tears began to flow easily. Noah calmed down, and because he felt horrible about hurting her, he carefully let go of her hand. She took a step back and swiftly began walking.

NOAH'S POV

I got mad I'm not sure why, but I gripped her wrist firmly. She was only one inch away from me.
Her eyes were filled with tears. I hurt her. But she agreed to take coffee with me on another day when she said she would. She was saying the truth, I could tell. I realized I was clutching her hand tightly and let it go. She then started walking quickly.

Shit shit. No this was not how it suppose to go.

End POV.

Later that day. Around 9pm Noah texted marwah.

Noah: I'm sorry. 

After 10 minutes, marwah check her phone. She saw a text message from Noah. She click on the message. And read it Marwah smiled at the thought of him apologizing.

"At least he knows what he did was not okay, how can I be calm after what he did to me. The more I say that I will stay away from him it's always the opposite. I-I need to be nice to him, what if he threatens to destroy us or make my mom lose her job?! Am I thinking too much." She took deep breath

Replying back to him.

Marwah: okay.

Noah: can I visit you now?

Marwah: No, why?

Noah: because I really wanna see you.

"Is he serious?" Marwah thought.

Marwah: No?!

Noah: okay, then-call me.

Marwah: what No! are you crazy?

Noah: then that means, I am coming to your house. You have two options.

Marwah: why are you always blackmailing me?

Noah: that's how my love give me her final answer. Hurry up I am waiting.

Marwah: fine, I will call you. Just for two minutes.

Noah: I will see.

marwah called him taking deep breath
