บท 7: Chapter 7

Looking at the blue and beautiful sky then turning to Noa a sigh of content left my lips. After showing me around the entire school we ended up on the roof top.

"Hey Cardan can I ask you something" Noa said her voice sounding a bit cold and detached.

Turning my full attention on her I nodded as I unconsciously murmured "Anything." Her cheeks flashed again but she chose to ignore it.

"Are you and Zaden friends?" lifting my brow at her I wondered what could have caused her to ask me that question but nevertheless I answered.

"I believe we are him on the other hand I think he's still debating sometimes he acts like we're brothers other times he looks like he wants to pretend like he doesn't know me or he feels sorry that he is my friend as if he isn't a good person. Why do you ask?" I turned a question to her.

"Nothing much, it's just that... when Zaden... I can't tell you since it's not my place but I'm happy with the answer that you gave." she finished with a gentle smile after some internal struggle left her lips.

'So something did happen' I internally thought.

"Krik..." we both turned to the door as a young girl about the age of me and Noa entered. She was short compared to me and Noa and her face showed shyness and innocence.

Cardan immediately had a dislike for her. She looked like one of those girls his grandmothers would earn him against and called them two faced and white lotus flowers.

But Noa seemed to know her since a closed mouth smile spread throughout her face.

"Brianna what are you doing here" Noa asked as she approached her, great their close note the sarcasm.

"I was worried about you so I..." her voice was sickenly soft as she looked at Noa through her eyelashes and as if having noticed Cardan she enlarged her eyes as if caught by surprise.

If Cardan wasn't so annoyed by her and disgusted he would have introduced her to uncle Pierson. She would make a great villain in is shows.

"...He's name is Cardan and he just moved here. Cardan this is Brianna" Noa said her voice sounding somewhat distant and returning back to the cold and detached voice. Furrowing a bit I realised she must have thought that I may fall for her friend and probably many others have.

She shouldn't have to worry because I would never. And why was she insecure ,I wonder.

"Nice to meet you my name is Brianna" not even looking at her Cardan made his way to the door making sure to not even touch her or get anywhere near her.

"See you later wifey" Cardan said glancing at Noa for a little too long before leaving and he'd be lying if he didn't enjoy watching her skin redden because of he.

Making his way back to class A he noticed that it was already lunch. As he entered the somewhat empty class with only Easton he went to his seat. 'Lover boy must have followed his dear beloved', Cardan thought as he didn't find him in class.

"Hey are you number 28?" Easton said in an accusing tone as he turned to me.

Lifting an eyebrow Cardan answered "And your number two,2nd last if I'm not wrong"

Not looking the least bit amused Easton stood up making his way to Cardan "You're the reason why my Noa isn't in class A anymore" Easton gritted out.

"Excuse me, did you just call Noa yours." Cardan said deathly calm but only he knew how far he was from calm.

Standing up Easton realised how much taller Cardan was then him he looked just barely over 165cm.

"Noa doesn't belong to anyone" but me "And even if she did what makes you think she'd be yours and would like you meddling in her business" Cardan spat.

He looked taken aback by Cardan's answer but his mood was sour at discovering that he had a love rival he should have expected it considering how beautiful Noa is.

"Tsk" Cardan left for the door his mood already having been ruined.

"We're not done yet.." Easton finally opened his mouth but by then Cardan was already at the door.

"I'm already in a mood you mewling quim and now you want me to kill you" Cardan threatened in a manner that sounded more like a promise.

Living the class Cardan bumped into blondie and not bothering to apologize he made his way back to the roof top. Cardan didn't know why he came here but it was the only place he could think about. By then Noa and her 'friend' had already left.

After a few minutes of silence it was disrupted by the voice of his dear friend.

"There you are" Cardan didn't need to know who it was.

"So what are you doing up here. It's usually Noa who comes here" Zaden said in his monotone voice.

"...Easton happened" Cardan finally said as a chuckle left his lips.

"What did he say?" Zaden questioned although not sounding that much interested. But Cardan would take what he could get.

"He wants to be your brother-in-law" Zaden snorted.

"With whose permission?"

"I don't know and the flapdoodle had the audacity to call Noa his!!!" Cardan exclaimed.

"... What's a flapdoodle?" Cardan turned to Zaden in annoyance Zadan just shrugged his shoulders waiting for Cardan's answer. Cardan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"You don't wanna to know" Cardan replied.

"Then where did you learn it?" Zaden asked fully interested and by the look on his face Cardan could tell that as soon as he got away from me he would google the meaning.

"My gra- TV." Cardan caught himself before finishing the sentence.Zaden lifted up an eyebrow but didn't push. Cardan sighed in gratefulness. He heard these words from his grandparents from his mother's side. He couldn't say that or it would lead to more questions.

"Let's go back to clas*borborygmi*first let's go have some lunch. How many minutes do we have" Cardan turned to Zaden who looked like he wanted to laugh at his face.

"Cough-13-Cough -minutes -cough" Zaden finished his hand covering his mouth. He seemed to find Cardan's hunger funny. What kind of person would laugh at their own friends hunger.

Mia would be disappointed.

"So make a move yet on Mia" Cardan stated in annoyance.

Zaden tripped after his words as he tried catching himself.

"Tsk" Cardan had hoped that he would fall.

"Don't waste my time let's go and eat before break ends"
