Amanda

1101 Words
Everyone's eyes turn to Amanda after her catchy shout as she just received an email from a Youtube company recognizing her with a silver play button after she reached her first millions views as a Youtube creator. Amanda Harris, all she ever wanted was for her parents to notice her. Ever since she was small, they have been busy with their work, leaving her with other people's care. She grew up alone and reserved. Those were the times when she and Noah were friends. That's why he appreciated his presence. She started her youtube channel during her junior year and learned that people like her when she shared about beauty tips and OOTD, so she mastered and learned those things. Her eyes are full of pride as she reads her letter. As an 18-year-old high school student, she is already successful in the blogging industry. Georgina thought it was really worth the shout for joy. Noah was sitting near her table when she announced her news, and since they are classmates and of the same group of friends, he was seated near Amanda. But Noah moved to their table when he saw Georgina, he went directly in her direction, she can't help but get a little bashful about their relationship since he is famous. Georgina notices that after people from school see her and Noah together, she instantly also becomes famous. Sometimes when she walks down the corridor to get her stuff, she receives friendly greetings and warm smiles from people she just met after Noah came into her life. Noah smiles warmly as he approaches their table. Georgina looks around the place. A different kind of pride booms inside her as she knows she's also lucky to have him. At the back of her mind, she thought is more fortunate than Amanda at that time. After Amanda announced her news and, to everyone's amusement, the situation had finally returned to normal. Amanda receives many congratulatory greetings from her friends and admirers. Her table was surrounded by people. "1 million views. Wow, Amanda is something!" Georgina wanted to start a conversation with Noah. She turned her head in his direction and saw his smile with deep thought. " Haven't you two been close before? I heard it from Pamila. You know your sister. It's not my fault. I didn't ask her." She sounds jealous. Noah laughs at her sentence, cutting the small flashback he had earlier. " She is my childhood friend and classmates, and we used to be close before, but it never went further than friendship, and besides, she's not my type. You know who I like." Georgina wanted to give in, but she had other plans. Though she was trying to hide her smile at Noah's explanation and defense, she got an idea to try his patience. " That's not what I see when I see you two walking in the pavement before, she knew he also recalled the day when they just started texting and saw them walking together." Noah's face turned serious didn't like where their conversation was going. He arches his brow facing her, getting his full attention. In times like that, Georgina wanted to pinch his face and snap his shoulder. She was trying to stop her smile as she didn't want him to win the game. Their eyes lock for a long time. No one wants to lose; finally, Noah softens and grabs her hand. She smiles as it's what usually happens when she teases him. "You know it was nothing. You are just making fun of me." He said as a matter of factly while still softening. Georgina can't hold her laugh and bursts her feelings. Noah kissed her hands while she looked back at him, already settled. Marcus breaks their sweetness. " Oh, please..." he muttered as if sick with their sweetness. Georgina smiled. Noah was still holding her hands. " George, you know I love you, but I hate you right now. Why so lucky girl?" he exclaimed, faking as if defeated. Pamila came to add. "That's why we'll just study hard with our grades. We don't have a love life." and everyone laughs. Far across the table, Amanda secretly hated Georgina for being unbothered. Though she just received some excellent news for herself, she can't help but envy her, especially because she has Noah. Amanda and Noah have been classmates ever since they were in grade school. Noah used to like her and help her during her first year in her blogging career. That is why she wanted him, but after he learned she had feelings for him, he started to stay away from her. When she asked him about it, he said he didn't want her to misinterpret his actions. So since that day, he started to distance himself and sometimes avoided Amanda. Though they are still friends, Noah already set boundaries with their relationship. Georgina's glance turned to Amanda, and she hurriedly turned her eyes away from them before Georgina caught her looking in their direction. Pamila and their other friends leave earlier. Pamila gives Georgina a knowing look before leaving. Noah asks her where his sister will go, she doesn't know if she should tell him, but Pamila and Mark already see each other. She wanted to ask Pamila first before exposing her little love life to her brother, so she shrugged her shoulders. The conversation leaves them silent for a while, still adjusting to their new relationship. They didn't know how to start to communicate easily with each other yet. Noah likes to hold her hands a lot, so he grabs them first before asking her for a proper date. He explains they never had that good date yet after they got official, so he will take her to a fine dining Friday night. " What should I tell my parents?" Georgina asks as it is her first time in a relationship. " Should I tell them we are in a relationship?" " I have not mentioned about us yet to anyone from my family." " do you think I should tell them already?" Georgina's questions are successive. Noah was amused but answered all her questions one by one. He wanted her parents to know about their relationship. He would ask their permission if they would agree to take her out on Friday, and the sooner they will know, the better. He said he didn't want to hide from anyone, especially from her family. She smiled at his assurance and knew that he would fulfill all his promises. She nodded, indicating her trust in him.
