"shrek is a hundred times better in spanish" novah said "and there's very few movies i'll watch dubbed"
"there's no way shrek can get any better" foolish argued "its already a masterpiece"
"no no foolish i-" she was cut off by him
"you know you can call me noah right?" she looked at him with wide eyes, her head hung to the side slightly and the boy couldnt help but think about how pretty she looked "i mean you can call me foolish too i dont mind im just saying"
"alright noah" it took her a couple seconds to react "i dont think you understand the levels of masterminds the translation team were at" he laughed "dont laugh you asshole the jokes are so good and eugenio derbez as donkey is perfect"
they had eaten the pizza and fries, a couple slices and some fries left over in their respective boxes, and had decided to leave the brownies for later since they were too full so now they were talking about their favorite movies and somehow had ended up talking about shrek, an episode of gilmore girls paused on the tv.
"if you say so" he shrugged "what about cars?"
"i had a crush on lightning mcqueen when i was little and now have a crush on charles leclerc" novah said nonchalantly
"first off who the fuck is charlie clark?"he asked "and second how the fuck did everyone have a crush on a car, a cartoon car?"
"charles leclerc is an f1 driver for ferrari who is basically the embodiment of lighting mcqueen and secondly its all about the attitude im not like that weird dude that liked to fuck his car so much he married it" that was enough to send the boy into a fit of laughter "wow im so funny"
"a guy fucking his car?" he was wheezing "what the fuck are you talking about?"
"its a hundred percent real how do you not know about it?" she questioned the still laughing boy "i would elaborate but i dont think theres much more to say he was in love with his car and fucked it through the tail pipe"
" what. the. actual. fuck" noah was trying to regulate his breathing after all the laughing "people are fucking weird"
"that they are" the girl got up from the couch where they had been sitting at "im going to go pee i'll be right back"
foolish wasnt normally nosy, but the girl was intriguing to him, up to this moment he still wouldnt admit there was a small crush a-brewing even though karl, and now tina, begged to differ. he got up from the couch and walked to the bookcase next to the tv scanning over the books she had on display, none that he recognized other than the hunger games, his eyes moving over to the picture frames. they all seemed to be recent ones, two men on them who noah guessed were her brothers, a couple with who he guessed were her parents and also a few with a blonde girl whom he didnt know. again, all recent pictures except for one which showed a little novah in front of a small waterfall with a funny pose.
he smiled staring at the picture when his eyes trailed over to three cigarettes on a pink ashtray, but foolish wasnt dumb and he could tell they were blunts. he grabbed one examining thinking about how there probably were hundreds of other things she didnt know about the girl but would love to discover
"you found my stash" the voice of the girl started him making her chuckle lightly "you smoke?"
"not really" he replied putting the blunt down where he found it "did it a couple times in high school and college"
"mhm" she nodded "i started when i moved to california, i was having lots of anxiety back then and my best friend invited me to smoke with her" novah walked to him grabbing the blunt back and twirling it between her fingers "that night we sat out there in the balcony sharing it and just talking about random things and for the first time in a while my mind felt calm"
