Chapter 9

The next day at school I decide to take Kurt's advice. I don't have to confront Noah considering he's stalking me, so the second I get to my locker I am not surprised to see him there. "Look," he starts, "I am really sorry, I was out of line and-"

"It's okay." I cut him off, "I overreacted a little. I should've specified what I meant when I said that I wanted to take things slowly. I meant that I basically wanted to start over, you know act like the kiss never happened and maybe slowly try to build up some sort of a relationship. I'd like for us to have a chance to do that, so if your offer to take me to homecoming is still open, then I'd be pleased to go with you."

"Um, yeah I'd still like for you to go to homecoming with me," says Noah slightly shocked, "So we're cool?"

"Yeah," I nod, "we're cool." I change the subject, "We need to get started on our Spanish Project, how about today after school."

Noah looks down, "Can you do tonight, because I have to watch Cassidy."

I nod, "Sure, is Cassidy your sister?"

Noah shakes his head, "Nah, that's my daughter."

"Oh," I say looking down, "Right, you told me you had a kid. How old is she?"

He shrugs, "She's like two months, or something like that, she's real little."

"Wow," I say in amazement, "That is young."

Noah nods, "Yeah, I have to watch her this afternoon, but maybe when I put her down for a nap we can work on the project."

"That sounds great," I agree.

This is when Noah decided to be sly, "So, I'm going to need your number if I'm going to call you to tell you when Cassidy is asleep."

I smirk as he hands me his cell phone and I put my number in, I hand him my phone, "This way, I can know who's calling me." He puts his number in my phone as Pucky internet heart. I roll my eyes as we start to walk to Spanish class. I see the girl that Artie really likes, I nudge Noah, "Who is that girl."

Noah shrugs, "I dunno, some chick."

I give him a disapproving look, "Gee, thanks for clearing that up for me Noah."

Noah rolls his eyes, "I only know girl's names if either A) I've slept with her, B) I've wanted to sleep with her, C)I've dated her, or D) She's You, and I'm pretty sure that none of the above applies since she's probably not a mom, and I am almost positive she isn't you."

"Okay," I sigh, "There is a thing known as too much information, and that was it."

Noah smirks as he pulls me into the Spanish class room. I tell him I'll be at our seats in a second and I walk over to Kurt. "I took your advice, and I am going to homecoming, now can you please tell me who is taking you?"

Kurt smirks, "It's a surprise, you'll never be able to guess, since I'm almost positive you haven't met him, and when you see him you have to act casual he wants it to be kind of secret, so just act like he's my old friend or something, and by the way I am totally doing your hair for homecoming don't even try to come up with an excuse, you are not allowed to just throw your hair up and put on a hat, I will not allow it."

"Fine," I give in, "You can do my hair, as long as you don't do anything permanent."

Kurt's eyes narrow, "I make no promises."

I roll my eyes as I take my seat next to Noah. He puts his arm around my shoulder, I let it slide since he's not to anything too bad. We sit through Spanish until the bell rings and Noah pouts as we go off to our separate classes.

The day goes by slowly since I really want to get my Spanish project over with and I'm going to have to wait until later on that night to go work on it. When I get to Kurt's I decide to research so that will be out of the way when I go to Noah's. The research doesn't take too long because Mr. Shuester already gave us a ton of sources that we could use. So I am stuck waiting for Noah to call me.

Eventually he calls, and I jump at the sound of my phone vibrating. I pick it up the second that I see that the phone says "Pucky internet heart". "Noah?"

"Hey Scar, do you want to come work on the project? I'll pick you up since you don't know where I live." He suggests.

"Yeah," I sigh, "that'd be great, actually."

"Kay," He says, "I'll be there in ten minutes and not a word of this to Quinn, she'd kill me if she knew I left the baby alone with my sister for a few minutes."

"Gotcha," I answer, "I won't say anything, it's not as thought I talk to Quinn anyway."

I hear him mumbling to his sister on the other end of the phone, "I'll be there soon, bye." I hear the phone click and I close the phone.

Soon Noah is at Kurt's front door, I see Kurt glaring him down before I get out of the house. Noah opens the door for me, and I can tell that he is working his ass off not to set me off.

Noah drives me to his house, it's not as big as Kurt's but it's cute and serves the purpose, and it's not pitiful or anything.

"My mom's working late, so it'll just be you, me and my sister," he adds bitterly, "So we'll work on the project and then watch a movie or something."

"Sounds like a plan," I agree as I pull out my research and we start working on the project. Admittedly the project (or well proyecto) isn't all that difficult, the hard part is teaching Noah the pronunciation. That doesn't take too long though and the next thing I know we're watching one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen, I don't find it all that funny but I find myself laughing at it because Noah makes me feel anxious and whenever he laughs I do too.

Soon Noah offers to drive me home since the baby is still sleeping and he wants to get back before she wakes up. I agree and once I'm at Kurt's I realize that I am going to have to thank Kurt once he gets back from wherever he happens to because I'm overly glad that I have taken his advice.
