Chapter 34
I smile gratefully. “Yeah, let’s go.”
-Noah-
“All I’m saying, is that Voldemort would look really weird with a nose.” Max finishes, taking a sip of his Dr Pepper as we sit at a table at Pizza Palace with three different pizzas being shared between us.
“Max, no one asked.” I state bluntly, taking a bite out of my slice of Hawaiian pizza.
lauch
on his pizza, laughing loudly. Max pouts, kicking my shin underneath the table.
I chuckle, kicking him back. We then start kicking each other back and forth.
The bell above the door rings as it’s pushed open, but Max and I pay no attention to it seeing as we’re too busy kicking each other.
“No way…” Dylan breathes out, his eyes fixated on something at the door.
Max and I stop kicking each other before sharing a look and switching our gazes to the door.
Standing there with Megan, is a girl with bright blue eyes, wavy light brown hair that just barely brushed her shoulders, her dimples visible as she smiles at whatever Megan had said. She is also wearing a familiar basketball hoodie.
The odd thing though, is that the hood isn’t covering her face.
She looks away from Megan and locks eyes with me.
Her smile slowly fades as a pained expression makes its way onto her face.
She knows. She knows I didn’t read the letter.
Megan looks between us sadly before patting her arm and whispering something to her.
She merely nods before going to find a booth at the back as Megan goes to the counter.
I get up, storming out of the pizzeria.
She’s back.
Carter’s back.
Noah
She’s back. She’s really back.
Why did you storm out, you idiot?

Chapter 31
What was I supposed to do, Pablo? Talk to her?
YES!
No. She left without a goodbye. Why should I talk to her?
Yes, she left without a goodbye, but she wrote you a letter which might explain everything, but we don’t know that
becAUSE YOUR DUMB ASS WON’T READ IT!
Shut up. Pablo. I’m done with you.
I make my way back to the University of Eastview (completely made up…I think) and back up to my dorm, slamming the door shut behind me.
I make my way to my room and kick my shoes off before jumping on my bed and shoving my face into a pillow.
I can’t believe she’s back.
When Max and Dylan told me she moved back to New Zealand, it sounded permanent. They were upset and it didn’t seem like she was coming back.
I just want to know why she left in the first place.
YOU’D PROBABLY KNOW IF YOU READ THE LETTER, YOU DOLT!
Shut up, Pablo. I’m not reading the damn letter. Go play the maracas or something.
Why is my human so STUPID?!
Why is my subconscious so annoying?
“Noah, your dumb ass better be here!” Max’s voice rings out as the door opens and two pairs of footsteps are heard before the door slams closed.
I let out a loud, frustrated groan.
“Either he’s here, or that was the monster under his bed.” Dylan retorts sarcastically, making me roll my eyes.
They both barge into my room and I sit up.
“What?”
They both blink at me.
“You’re an IDIOT!” Max shouts, walking over and smacking me in the face with my other pillow.
“Ow.” I drone monotonously before pushing my hair back.
“Dude, you were so mad at Nevach for leaving.” Dylan starts. “And she’s back now. Why the hell did you storm out instead of talking to her?”

Chapter 34
“I don’t want to talk to her.” I mumble, shoving my face back in the pillow.
“You sound like a child.” Dylan states, I can practically hear him rolling his eyes. “Since you don’t want to open the letter, you can get some answers from her in person.”
I want to protest but I know he’s right.
“Stop being a stubborn piece of shit and talk to her!” Max yells.
“Tomorrow.” I tell them.
“She’s in our literature course.” Max tells me. “You can talk to her after class.”
“How do you know she’s in our literature course?” Dylan asks him.
“Meg texted me.” He holds up his phone and waves it around a bit.
Max has liked Megan since Junior year yet he hasn’t done anything about it. I’m pretty sure Megan likes him too. They’re both stupid and don’t see it though.
“Okay. I’ll talk to her then.” I groan. “Now get the hell out of my room. I need my beauty sleep.”
“Beauty sleep?” Max scoffs. “Puh–lease. Your face looks like my ass.”
I let out a chuckle as I throw a shoe from the ground at him, nailing him in the forehead. “Get out.”
Dylan laughs, dragging him out and shutting the door behind them.
“Max, you and I both know that Noah’s one of the most good looking guys in the damn world.” I hear Dylan say.
“Yeah, I know.” Max grumbles, no doubt rubbing his forehead.
I laugh loudly.
“Thanks, boys!” I call, still chuckling-
“You’re welcome.” They call back in unison.
-Nevach-
“Ms Fields is a Literature lecturer now?!” I shout as Megan and I walk out of the lecture hall. “What the hell?! I thought I got away from the She–Lewbert when I left.”
