Georgina was having her breakfast with her family, it was early on Sunday morning, and they were talking about the studies of her sister Gabriela.
The five of them gathered at the round table. It was one of the things she liked during Sunday. She got to have a meal with her whole family together.
After telling everyone about Gabriela joining the school paper on their campus, George also inform their parents that he got accepted into the soccer team. Georgina's mother turns in her direction, she felt pressured, all her siblings are doing well in their life and she felt she is just doing normally.
She asks her about her party and writing club. Georgina stayed quiet; she didn't know how to tell them about her life.
In times like that, she forgot why she hated the talk as much as she loved to spend time with her family. She shakes her head for her unclear thinking.
"Uhhh...Ahh, it's fine mom, Yeah I join a writing club and I go to the party with Pam." She said.
" That's it?" her mother asked again. Georgina nodded.
After her small talk, her whole family started to talk about themselves nonstop.
After their breakfast, she went to her room and got her journal. She doesn't understand herself. She knew her parents and siblings loved her, but sometimes she just felt like she was out of place, like she did not belong.
'Middle child problem#20' she started to write in her journal. And started to write her long thoughts about her feelings that day, just like what she always did. Suddenly her cellphone message notifies, she opens Noah's message and smiles. They started to text. While she was still writing.
Noah, on the other hand, was looking at his window he could see his parents talking and almost shouting at each other, his heart tightened at sight, so he turned his head around and face the ball on his floor. he suddenly felt bored, so he invited Georgina if she likes to watch him practice basketball.
Georgina could feel his voice was in trouble, so she agreed. They are already on the open basketball court and Noah started to spoke it was his favorite place.
Georgina could feel his trouble but got silent. Whenever he is sad, he plays basketball nonstop until he is exhausted. He is dribbling and running around the court for almost 2 hours straight.
She didn't know if she wanted to protest as she was also getting bored, but she just smiled and waited for him patiently. He suddenly drag her out and said he likes to eat ice-cream. Noah saw she was bored.
"As in like now?" Georgina ask.
Noah nodded.
ẞShe asked him what was bothering him, when they are inside the parlor. He didn't say anything but just continued what he was doing, making Georgina a little upset. Georgina's frustration was gone when they arrive in the ice cream counter. She loves that food, especially when she is also sad.
After they were seated, Noah started the conversation and asked her what her problem was. Georgina shook her head as she didn't think she had any problem. Noah looked at her in the eyes and said she couldn't hide her real feelings from him.
She told him about her small insecurities about her family; instead of him telling his problem, Goergina saw herself bursting her feelings, she said she knew she shouldn't feel bad about her family because they had never done wrong with her in fact they try to understand her most of the time.
Noah smiled at her weakly and said he thought he and her were alike in the same way. And he started to get closer to her and cuddle her in his side. Noah's embrace felt an immense comfort to Georgina. She closed her eyes and felt the same rapid heartbeat.
" I love you," Noah said before kissing her forehead. Georgina smiles and giggles in his body. It was the first time she heard him said those words.
It was just an ordinary day for school that day, Georgina received a text message from Noah, and she smiled before she replied to his sweet nothing texts. She smiled while looking at her cellphone when Pamila came closer to her trying to pick at her phone. She commented she is looking prettier every day and asked if it had to do with her brother. Georgina didn't answer her but smiled.
Their teacher had arrived in the front, so the class hurried to their respected places and chairs. It was one of those boring days. They went outside the room looking dull. When Pamila and Georgina visited their writing club office, they felt different energy and mood. Georgina started to work on her book. She was determined to finish her first chapter this week, they are not required to do the task, though, but she wanted to challenge herself. She forms a happy smile after reading her first work.
When they got out of the room they went to the canteen area, there they saw their other friends, Michaela, Marcus, and Anna. They wave in their direction, they are heading to the food area while her eyes travel around the room looking for her favorite person in the school.
The canteen was not so busy, but students were starting to fill the space, then came from the entrance Noah ran to her direction and stopped abruptly after he reached near her side, she laughed at his childish action but just smiled back at him, He fell in line behind her and started to ask about her day, Georgina just recently knew how touchy Noah can be, he loves to hold her a lot.
All their other friends are almost used to seeing them together, so they never mine the two were fooling while walking in their direction.
When Georgina and Noah were seated, Pamila had already taken her seat. Marcus was teasing Anna about something when Georgina caught Amanda's sharp eyes towards her. She stops smiling and holds on to Noah's arms while leveling her look to Amanda's eyes. She turned her eyes away first and scowled before Georgina also turned her eyes to her friend's direction, never leaving her hands in Noah's arm.
A few minutes later, all their head turn to the other table when they heard Amanda's loud scream.
