The Coffee Shop -Nochelle

Chapter 16: Everything hurts.

Noah's POV
I missed the last bus, so I'm having to walk home. Richelle must get a ride home. It's not that late yet, but it's getting pretty dark and no one is around. As usual, Richelle is on my mind. Thinking about Richelle has become a normality for me. Could this possibly be more than a friendship?...
"Noah?"
I spun my head round to see who it was.
"Amanda?"

Richelle's PoV
I woke up and felt better. I think I can dance today. The note Noah left me before he left was still in my hand when I awoke. Did I actually fall asleep holding it? I can't stop thinking about him. The way he looks at me, his humour, his wit and his smirk. Oh god his smirk. He's just perfect to me. It's Thursday, I wonder if I'll see Noah.

As usual, school is dreadful. Berkeley wasn't there today, and I can't find out why because I don't have her number yet. Maybe I'll see her at dance? "Watch where you're walking, bitch" said Liam as he barged past me, making me drop my phone. Great, it's cracked. "Nice going, asshole!" I shout after him. My mother is going to be so mad! Liam just disappeared round the corner, leaving me in the corridor alone. Or so I thought. "What did you just call my boyfriend?" Jacquie yells. God I didn't even realise she was there. Oh no.
Next thing I know I'm being slammed to the floor. My phone is now the least of my concern. Jacquie doesn't stop until I'm covered in blood and bruises. I feel nothing but pain. Everything hurts.
