AN: Hello everyone! This is sort of a one-shot songfic based on my story "No One Said Love Was Easy". It takes place within that story and features my OC Noelle. It isn't required that you have read that story but I'd love for you to! Just give it a thought! ^_^
Disclaimer: I do not own BTR or the song "I'm Not That Girl"...happy?
Hands touch. Eyes meet.
Sudden silence. Sudden heat.
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl.
Ever since she had turned 13, Noelle had started to feel different about Kendall. Every time his hand brushed hers or their eyes locked on each other she would start getting nervous and tongue-tied. Her face would start to get hot and the tips of her fingers would feel all tingly. It had confused her because she had never felt this way about Kendall before and he was the only one it seemed to happen with. She didn't get flustered when James would touch her. Her heart didn't race when Logan looked at her. She didn't blush when Carlos hugged her. And it didn't take too long for her to realize that she was in love with Kendall. The only problem was she was certain that while he could be the guy for…he wouldn't see her that same way.
Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl.
Noelle knew it was no use. She couldn't lose sight of the fact that she was Kendall's best friend. He would never see her as anything more that. And yet she couldn't forget the fluttering in her stomach that seemed to come any time he was near. She knew that that she would never be able to feel this way about another guy. Kendall was it for her. Yet she was too afraid of ruining her friendship with him to ever let him know. For now she would just content herself with being his friend. It was all she could ask of him.
Every so often we long to steal
To the land of "what might have been"
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in.
There were times Noelle caught herself thinking about what it would be like to be with Kendall. She imagined how his kiss would taste, what his strong arms would feel like wrapped around her and holding her, what it would be like to have those gorgeous green eyes gazing at her lovingly…and yet none of it helped her when she finally had deal with reality again. And the reality now was that Kendall with in love with Jo.
Blithe smile. Lithe limb.
She whose winsome, she wins him.
Gold hair with a gentle curl.
That's the girl he chose
And heaven knows…
I'm not that girl.
Really it was no wonder Kendall chose Jo. Jo was everything Noelle was not. Jo had long beautiful blond curls that shimmered and bounced as she walked, warm brown eyes and the most perfect smile. Noelle on the other hand had short, choppy black hair, dull gray eyes and a shy smile. Noelle was nothing like Jo and if Jo was who Kendall wanted, Noelle felt certain she didn't stand a chance.
Don't wish. Don't start.
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
Maybe, Noelle thought, she was simply meant to be just 'one of the guys'…nothing more. Watching Kendall and Jo and wishing that she was the one he kissed liked that was only making things worse. All of this hoping was just breaking her heart even more. Noelle knew the truth about the situation. Kendall was in love a certain girl…and it wasn't her.
There's a girl I know
He loves her so…
I'm not that girl.
