Noah. The only person I can think of. As I watch him apply sunscreen on Kassidy, my anger gew. I really thought we hit it off. But it turns out I was probably just a distraction just because Kassidy wasn't here.

But ever since she came back, all his focus was on her.

We are currently in Italy. The place is absolutely beautiful. I look up at our hotel balcony and see Carlos with his arms wrapped around my sister. Her head leaning back on his chest with her eyes closed. They look so in love with each other. 

I didn't even know I was staring at them for a long while until someone attacked me, pushing me into the cold ocean water. I spit the salty water out of my mouth and rub my eyes to see Jordan standing there with a smile on his face.

"Fuck you Jordan," I say flipping him off. "I didn't want my hair to get wet but thanks to you, I have to wash my hair extra good tonight,"

"Come on, lighten up Jules. We're on vacation," Jordan says falling back into the water. I giggle at his childness.

I turn my head back to the shore, which I really wish I didn't and see Noah and Kassidy gone. Where did they run off to?

"Lunch time!" A voice yelled out to us. We turn our heads to see Chase and Madi with baskets in their hands. Jordan and I look at each other and race to the shore. 

"Ha! I win" I say. 

"Only because you were closer," Jordan mumbles under his breath. I roll my eyes.

Carlos and Lily make their way down to the rest of us. Madi helped out some blankets on the sand. 

"Where's Noah?" Lily asks. I shrug my shoulder, not wanting to talk about it. Then we heard giggling and we all turn our heads. Noah and Kassidy are making their way towards us. Laughing. 

I quickly turn my head away.

"There you guys are," Carlos says. Noah takes a seat right next to me. 

"You wanna go somewhere with me later tonight?" Noah whispers to me. I turn to face him.

"Where?" I ask. He shrugs his shoulders.

"Take a walk with me," He says. I hesitate then nod and smile. Out from the corner of my eyes I see Kassidy. Staring at us. More like staring at me. 

******

It's around 8 pm. I received a text from Noah.

Noah: Wear something nice :)

Where are you taking me? :Me

Noah: It's a surprise

Ugh, I hate surprises. :Me

Noah: I know ;)

I sigh and head to my closet. I get changed into a two piece plaid outfit.

A few minutes later I heard a knock on the door

A few minutes later I heard a knock on the door. I open it to see Noah. He has a small bouquet of flowers in hand. He extends it and hands it to me. "For you." He says.

I take it and smell it. 

"So you are going to tell me where we're headed?" I whine at him.

He chuckles and shakes his head. "You are so nosey. And no. Like I said it's a surprise." He says and takes me hand and laces it through with his.

"I gotta be back before midnight or else my roomie is s gonna look for me." Noah says quietly.

"Who's your roommate?" I ask him. Please not Kassidy. Please not Kassidy. I practically beg in my head.

"Jordan. He's gonna question why I've been out late." He says. I sigh in relief. Thank goodness. 

"Aren't you supposed to have like 2 other people there. Is Chase with you guys too?" I ask just in case. Noah nods his head. I laugh lightly. "Good luck with that." I tell him.

"I know. Both are gonna keep me up all night. Now come on, let's go." he says and we start walking faster.

It feels like we're a couple of teenagers who are sneaking out in the middle of the night. With our parents who grounded us from seeing each other. Like two lovers who are inseparable. But I know that's never going to happen as long as Kassidy's around.

Wait. if Kassidy isn't staying in the same room as Noah and Jordan, then who is she staying with? 

Oh no. I hope she doesn't stir trouble when I arrive home.
