Wild Flowers
Part 1
Having been told to rack off when his brother had brought his girlfriend home, 14 year old Noah had stormed out of the house angrily. 'Who did Jude think he was anyway'? , kicking him out of his own house, when he had been so happily watching the telly
"Just go to the beach or sumthin, anywhere really I don't care as long as it's not here" he had said and the blonde next to him, Sammy, or was it Tammy? Giggled.
He had been walking for awhile now, and if he was honest with himself he would admit he was lost. But he wasn't panicked just yet. So he didn't think about it. He took in his surroundings, this was nice. He finally stopped and decided to sit down.
"This is private property you know"?
Noah spun his head around, if it hadn't been for the voice and the very short pigtails, he would have thought the girl behind him, holding a rifle, was a boy. She looked tough enough.
Noah shrugged his shoulders "So"?
"So" the girl mimicked "Only my Dad and me decide who comes across here and who doesn't"
"I" Answered Noah correcting her
"Huh?"
Noah rolled his eyes "forget it"
The girl boldly walked over and sat down next to him
"So what's your problem"?
"Excuse me"?
The girl rolled her eyes "I always come across people here with problems"
"Yeah well" answered Noah defensively, while vaguely thinking of his mum "I have no problems"
The girl snorted and muttered 'yeah right' under her breath
Noah glared at the small girl, starting to get annoyed
If she noticed she didn't seem to care and grinned in return "Well since my Dad's not around I guess I'll let you stay here"
"Gee, thanks"
There was a moment's silence
"So what's your name"?
Noah bit his lip, he just didn't get girls, how could they be so jumpy. One minute there threatening and the next there cheerily asking for your name.
"Look" he said finally fed up "I really just want to be left alone right now, so if you don't mind, would you just bug off"
The girl took off her hat and scratched her head "I would but there's one problem"
"Which is"?
"This is my property "she paused then added "So you bug off"
Noah threw up his arms in defeat "Fine I'll leave"
Not noticing the lower level of ground in front of him, he stood up, stepped forward and promptly fell flat on his face
The girl burst out laughing
Noah was seething "instead of laughing at me how about you giving me a hand"
"Why"? She asked starting to calm down "What's wrong"?
Noah winced as a pain shot through his knee; it seemed he didn't need to answer that as she suddenly noticed "Whoa," she kneeled in front of him for a closer inspection
Her hair lightly brushed his knee and as she sat up he couldn't help but take notice that she smelt of wild flowers.
"It looks worse than it probably is" she announced "I better take you to my mum"
Noah's head shot up. "What, no I'm fine" He didn't want to go anywhere with this girl
"Well "she said gulping now at the sight of blood "It might get infected and you'll have to go…. "
"KATHERINE"
"Oh no" she muttered
"What"?
"Looks like its knight in shining armor to the rescue"
Before Noah could respond an older boy on a horse appeared in front of them
"Katherine where have you been? You've got Mum worried sick and Dad's not to pleased with you either, since you took off with his rifle and all"
Katherine rolled her eyes "It's not loaded"
The boy shrugged his shoulders "I doubt that'll help you" he looked down at Noah "Who's that?"
"I don't know" she grinned "Who are you"?
Noah gritted his teeth "I'm Noah Lawson and you seem to have forgotten about my knee"
"I didn't forget, I just haven't had a chance to tell blabber mouth yet", she looked up "hey Scott Noah's hurt his knee"
Scott hopped down from the horse and walked over to them
"Yikes that looks bad mate; I think you better come with us"
'Looks like I have no choice, damn Jude'
As Scott was helping him up he couldn't help but ask
"Is she always this annoying"?
He was only answered with a laugh.
