Chapter 19

Noah doesn't drive me to school the next day because he has to drop Cassidy off at daycare. Kurt drives me in because Scott's parents are getting suspicious of him and Kurt. So it's like the days before either of us had boyfriends. Well I don't really have a boyfriend, so before I started going on dates with someone, and before Kurt had a boyfriend.

I'm still not wearing Noah's letterman jacket, I don't see why I should since he's not my boyfriend. He never has been.

When we get to school, Scott immediately drags Kurt away draping his arm around Kurt's shoulders, muttering something about how sorry he was that he couldn't drive Kurt this morning.

I sigh as I walk into the school alone, it's weird, going to my locker and not seeing Noah here. Maybe he thinks I'm still mad, I haven't actually told him that I forgave him. I wanted to wait until I saw him in person.

As I'm unpacking my books an unfamiliar jock walks up to me. "Hey, you're the girl right?"

I nod slowly, "I'm sorry, have we met?"

He smirks, "No, sorry, I'm Dave."

"Nice to meet you," I smile, "I'm Scar."

The jock apparently named Dave nods, "So, I was wondering if you wanted to go to a movie tonight?"

I open my mouth to protest when I stop, why should I decline? It's not like I have a boyfriend, "You know what, why not? I'm just not sure if I can tonight so how about you give me your number so I can call you."

"Can I get your number?" He asks.

I really don't want to give this guy my number so I make up some lie, "My phone's from New York so it charges long-distance when I make calls to Lima, so I've been using Kurt's house phone, and I don't think I'm supposed to give that number out."

Dan or Daryl whatever his name is buys it and gives me his number.

"Cool," I smile, "I'll call you."

He nods, but his smile fades as he looks at something behind me. I feel someone put their arm around my shoulder.

I look over my shoulder and see Noah glaring at that guy-DAVE that was his name.

"What do you want Karofsky?"Noah sneers rudely at Dave.

Dave rolled his eyes, "Don't believe I was speaking with you Puckerman."

"Watch it! I'm about to beat your ass-"He began.

"Noah it's fine, David and I were just talking, I'm allowed to do that, you know, talk to other guys." I remove Noah's arm from my shoulder as Dave smirks and walks away.

Noah looks at me his eyebrows scrunched, "What was that about?"

I shrug, "He was just asking me out on a date, no big deal."

"You told him 'no,' right?" Noah asks leaning up against the locker next to mine.

I shake my head as I start walking to class.

"Well, why not?" He demands following after me.

I turn to look at him, "Exactly, why not? Give me one good reason why I shouldn't go on a date with him?"

"Because he's a dick, he's tortured Kurt even more than I have, you cannot go out with this guy." Noah snaps.

I roll my eyes, "You're no saint either, and weren't you the one who said I should judge people myself and not based on what others tell me. Besides it's not like I have a boyfriend or anything."

"Is that what this is about? You want me to ask you to be my girlfriend." He asks angrily.

I shake my head, "I don't want you to ask me unless you want to, but I'm allowed to explore my other options. Maybe he'd ask me to be his girlfriend."

"Is this one of those girl things when you say you don't want me to do something but you really do?" He asks.

I shrug.

"Are you still mad at me about the other thing?" He asks curiously.

I shake my head again, "Nope, the CD was really nice by the way. I liked it."

"Then why are you punishing me?" He said annoyed.

"Noah, I have no idea what you mean by that, I'm doing this because although, I've enjoyed the time we spent together, I would like a relationship with someone. Maybe this is a good thing. I understand if you don't want anything serious, I mean, you have a baby. Obviously you have other things on your mind than a relationship. I don't. Good luck, Noah, it's been fun." I sigh as I walk away.

I don't really plan out going out with this Dave kid, he seems slimy, but who knows, I'll consider it.

I walk into Spanish and I see Kurt, he's all flustered and his hair, for once in his life, is all scattered. I'm guessing Scott felt really bad about not driving Kurt to school. I look at Kurt and raise my eyebrows, he blushes.

I sit in my seat and wait for class to begin. Noah takes his seat next me. He opens his mouth to say something when the bell rings and Mr. Shuester begins teaching about Subjunctive uses.

"Can we talk about this," Noah whispers.

"Nope, I've made up my mind." I hiss back taking down the notes on the board.

He glares at me momentarily, before saying, "Please, hear me out."

"There's nothing you can say that'll change my mind!" At least that was what I thought .

Then he said the words that would change my life forever. He spoke the words that I never saw coming, not from him at least. He uttered the words of what I never thought he'd say to me. He said, "I love you."
