Song: Can I Be Him by James Arthur

----------------------------------------------------------

I stretched my cramped legs on the blanket as we wrapped up the final chapter. Noah grinned beside me, happy to finally be finished with our study session. We sipped our cold drinks and watched as kids ran around and flew kites in the park.

"They're so cute," I smiled. "It really takes me back."

"I miss those days," he sighed, lying down. "Moving was the hardest thing for me."

"I missed you too," I murmured. "I didn't have anyone else to play with. It was lonely."

He sat up again and turned to me expectantly. "Did you solve my riddle?"

"Not yet," I sighed, reaching for my phone.
I was still trying to figure out what his text meant.

53, 71, 23, 39, 8, 92

"Is this a code for something?" I asked as I grabbed a pen and jotted the numbers down.

"Maybe," he smiled, lying down again. "Think about it."

I stared at the six numbers. Was I supposed to rearrange them? Add them? I grinned at the challenge and got to work trying every possible way to get an answer. After a few minutes, I showed Noah what I'd come up with.

"Nope," he smiled. "Think Chemistry."

"Chemistry?" I frowned. "But you hate Chem."

"But you don't. The answer is for you."

I focused on deciphering the numbers again.

53, 71, 23, 39, 8, 92

Noah lounged beside me, taking pictures of the sky and the landscape around us. Occasionally he directed his camera at me with a sigh. I was getting used to having my picture taken now, so it didn't bother me.

"How was your trip?" he asked after a moment.

"It was great at first, but it didn't end well."

"Oh?" he sat up. "Was Ashton there?"

"Yeah. Kevin invited him too."

"What happened? You were really excited about the trip on Sunday."

"Lots of crazy stuff," I sighed.

I flipped open my textbook to the periodic table. Maybe these numbers were the atomic numbers of the elements.

53- Iodine
71- Lutetium
23- Vanadium
39- Yttrium
8- Oxygen
92- Uranium

Noah rested his chin on my shoulder as I wrote those out.

"Is this it?"

"Yeah, but it's not finished yet," he smiled, taking the pen from me. "I'll fill in the symbols for you."

53- Iodine (I)
71- Lutetium (Lu)
23- Vanadium (V)
39- Yttrium (Y)
8- Oxygen (O)
92- Uranium (U)

I LUV YOU

I stared at the words and then turned to Noah puzzled.

"I love you."

That took my breath away for a second. Was he being serious right now? There was no way he meant that in a romantic way. I pinched his cheeks with a smile.
