WRONG NUMBER || Noah Centineo AU (1st Book)

S E V E N T Y - T H R E E | P O V

Valerie:

Noah hangs up and I'm there looking at him with a big smile,  he could go, and i was not going to feel guilty for the rest of my life.

“I knew you'd do it!!!” I said excitedly and Noah gives me a sad smile

“yeah, you must be thrilled” he says sarcastically and I don't know why he'd be so upset if he just got great news.

“C'mon noah  this is something great,  you made it, why aren't you happy?” I ask frowning and he groans shaking his head

“because I want to stay,  I want to be here with you,  I want us to go back to where we were,  but you don't care, Valerie” he says getting angrier

“hey hey,  is not that I don't care “ I say frowning “I'm happy you get to go to that university,  yeah, is sad that we can't be together but whatever Noah, you'll move on” I tell him, Trying to talk some sense into him

“it's so easy for you to say” he says rolling his eyes

“it will be easy for you too,  Noah, stop being annoying” I roll my eyes as well,  he's starting to piss me off, I don't know what he expects me to do I will not tell him to stay for me

“annoying? Valerie,  you were here kissing me and making me think there's still hope for us and then you tell me I'll get over you easily? What the fuck?” he says getting angrier and angrier every second

“they were just a couple of kisses Noah,  is not a big deal” I cross my arms and he groans

“really? No big deal? Do you even fucking care about my feelings Valerie? Don't you see you're hurting me?” he asks frowning and I sigh holding my temples frustrated.

“you made it a bigger deal than It is,  it's not my fault, Noah, I'm not in love with you,  and I don't want to stop you from taking the scholarship” I continue and he groans standing up from the blanket we were laying.

“yeah whatever Valerie,  let's just go back to the campus,  I'll drop you off” he says emotionless and starts putting everything in the basket and the kite in a bag.

“we don't have to leave yet,  the sun is still setting” I say trying to soften the mood and he sighs

“Valerie,  why would you play with me like that?” he asks frowning and i shake my head sighing

“I'm not playing with you Noah, I do like you,  and I wanted to kiss you and I enjoyed this date,  I just don't want it to get further if it means you're not taking the scholarship”

“you know I love you,  you knew I was going to get my hopes up,  why would you do this?” he asks looking at me,  his eyes are so sad that my heart hurts a little

“I.. I didn't really think about it,  I just did it impulsively” I confess and he sighs looking down

“of course you wouldn't care how I'd feel after all this,  sometimes I forget you're mentally sixteen right now “ he says pinching the bridge of his nose and I frown at his comment but decide not to say anything.

He shakes  the blanket to get the sand off of it and  folds it neatly as I stand next to him. He puts it in his bag,  then he starts walking to his car and I follow behind since he didn't say anything else.

He gets in and so do I,  the car starts moving and I only see him looking straight to the road,  but his eyes are still a little teary. I feel terrible but I won't take back what I said I just feel attracted to him,  it is not love, it sounds bad, but it's the truth.

Once we arrive at my building,  he stops and taps impatiently on the steering wheel as I gather my things. He hasn't say a word and he looks pissed,  he is biting a nail as he avoids my gaze. I bite my lip uncomfortably not really knowing what to do or say.

“so umm… “ I start and he finally looks up at me “ I'll text you,  emm, thanks for the date it was great” I say with a soft smile and he sighs nodding

“yeah… whatever…” he says shrugging and I roll my eyes at his way of speaking. He's being such an ass right now

“have a good night Noah”  I lean to his side and press my lips in his cheek,  I really don't. Care if he's mad, he's not going to reject a kiss on the cheek. As I predicted he didn't,  and he sighed after I pulled away

“I'm not going to send those documents,  you know that, right? “ he asks after a brief silence and I sigh shaking my head

“you're gonna have to…. And I'm not gonna talk to you until you do.”

“mhmmm” he hums and then looks away from me. “have a good night too,  Valerie, see you around, I guess” he says sounding still Pretty upset but I try to not get soft so I don't get his hopes up again.

I sigh and get out of his car. He waits until I'm inside of the building to start the car and drive off. God… i really hope he does his best to get the scholarship and that we can be in good terms before he leaves,  I do care about him even though he thinks I don't

He needs to stop thinking about love,  thinking about me, and he needs to start thinking about himself.

If the only way to get him to take the scholarship is by making him hate me,  then fine, I'll do it.
