He looked at his watch, the dial glowing a bit and he stood back up, feeling a bit sad actually as he stared down one end of the corridor and then down the other end, still not seeing who he had expected. Maybe he had been wrong, but he didn't think so, but he just didn't have time to dwell on it as he headed away from the locker, heading off towards his next class. Maybe later, or maybe not, but he could always hope.
2:45 p.m.
Noah came around the corner and stopped, as he saw the small figure staring at the spot that was his, well his and Dakota's now and he grew disgusted, recognizing the figure as the girl that had been throwing herself all over Dakota at lunch. God, wasn't it bad enough that she was the one sitting next to him at lunch, now she was intruding on what he thought was his only time to live in his fantasy world. Well, he'd tell her, he thought as he walked towards the locker, seeing her turn to stare at him.
For a minute he blinked, seeing the way she looked at him, the way her eyes seemed to peer at him and for a minute he wasn't sure if he was having a really bad nightmare or what but he was certain that he could see, but no that couldn't be, it was impossible. He had just spent way too much time daydreaming and that was all there was to it. He came up to the locker and looked at her, sort of daring her to speak but she just waited, and stared down at the floor before once more looking up at him.
He was about to say something to her when he turned to see Dakota coming down the hallway and he noticed how her face lit up, the way she suddenly straightened up as if her day had just been capped off. It was weird, cause it was sort of how he wished he could feel, to know that Dakota was coming for him, but he knew that was silly, yet he did feel a sort of jealous pang at the way she looked, the way her whole face had once more lit up like a Christmas tree. It just wasn't fair as he turned away to concentrate on opening the locker, trying desperately to ignore her presence, but as hard as he tried, he just couldn't do it. She even smelled like Dakota, that same apple fresh scent wafted past him and he banged his knuckle as the lock refused to pop open and he had to start all over again.
Dakota "Hey you made it, cool, any trouble finding it?"
Girl "Nope, exactly where you said."
Dakota "Great, so you meet Noah?"
Girl "No, he just got here, but you were right."
