Naomi POV
Last night dinner was the same as always, Riley was awkwardly quiet where her dad tried to make conversation. She ignored him as usual and I jumped in to save him the embarrassment by talking to him.
As I laid on the grass I looked up at the clear blue sky admiring its beauty, a sign escaped my lips as I remembered that it was the end of summer. Just a few days form now I'll be a high school senior with a jam packed schedule and enough homework to kill me literally.
While everyone mu age was worry about what they were going to wear to the end of summer party, I'm here thinking about how stressful school will be.
No wonder even the nerds avoid me.
I laugh at my own joke when I hear my uncle calling my name. I decided to answer on the first call.
"I'm out here!" I yell back. After s few seconds he comes and to view as he walks over to me with a smile on his face.
"I bought a cake and I wanted all three of us to go greet the neighbors together." He says with a bright smile on his face.
I instantly frowned at him, he knows I'm not good with people.
"Come on, we're just introducing ourselves so they feel welcomed." He pleads.
"Fine but only of Riley agrees." I shot back knowing shell say no.
A smirk creeped onto his face and I instantly knew something was up, I narrowed my eyes into slit and his smirk turned into a smile before he spoke.
"She already did."
"No way-
"Are you two coming or not!" I hear Riley grunt loudly.
I slowly get up from my sitting and then stand up I dust off my jeans to make sure there is no grass sticking to me.
My uncle smiles at me and I return it and we walk over to Riley who shoves the chiffon cake into my hands.
I swear he's the most unhealthy doctor I've ever seen. And trust me ive seen a lot of doctors in my short life.
We cross the street with him leading the way while Riley grumbles and glares at me. He rings the doorbell a couple times before pushing his hands into his pockets, he had his usual friendly smile in place with his usual relaxed look.
He looks like your typical nice guy that's also good looking, soon the door slowly opens and it was the Asian woman from yesterday.
"Hi, how can I help you?" She says in a friendly tone with a small friendly smile on her face. To say she was beautiful was an understatement, she was absolutely stunning, she had a perfectly straight nose and wide bambi eyes and v shaped face not to mention her perfectly clear skin.
"Hello, I'm Dave and these are my two daughters" Riley scoffs at the word daughter's and I sigh. " we say you moving in yesterday so we came to welcome you to our neighborhood and we hope you like it here." She says with a bright smile.
"Hi I'm Riley. Nice to meet you." Riley's says with a face smile in a sweet voice.
"Hi I'm Naomi and this is for you I hope you enjoy it." I say smiling at her.
"Oh you didn't have to this is so sweet, thank you so much." She say with suprise as she takes carefully takes cake. "Excuse me for a second, Hero come meet the neighbors!" She yells before giving is an apologetic smile. "You can just call me Suna by the way."
We hear a male voice say something in what I assume to be their native language. I wasn't sure if it was Chinese, Korean or Japanese but I knew it was one of those languages.
A tall figure stalks over to her and as he gets closer I realize that's he looks a bit too young to be her husband, unless she's into younger guys.
"This is my son Hero, introduce yourself and don't be rude."
"Hi I'm Hero, nice to meet you." I was so shocked by his deep voice that I couldn't speak or move. Not to mention how good looking he was.
David clearing his throat brought me back to my senses and the sound of Riley's fake sweet voice.
"Hi I'm Riley, its nice to meet you too. Will you be going to school with us?" She asks while reaching for a handshake.
"Uh yeah I will and you are?" He asks turning his gaze to me.
"Umm hi, I'm Naomi and this is Dave it's nice to meet you." I say with a polite smile.
Dave gives him a curt nod and he returns it.
"Great, I'll see you guys around I still have a lot of unpacking to do." He says and I realize how good his English was and when his mom spoke I noticed she still had an accent.
"Hes right we still have a lot of unpacking to do, thank you again for this lovely cake." She says with a wide smile and bowing slightly.
"I could help you guys out if thats okay?" Riley suggests in a chirpy tone.
"Oh no I wouldn't want to bother you! And you must have plans with your friends."
"Nope, I'm free and I'd love to help." She say giving her a broad smile.
The woman looks at Dave for assurance and that's what she got.
"I'm sure she will do a great job of helping you. And I have to get yo work do I'll see all of you later." He says his goodbyes and leaves us standing there.
"Well come on in then." The woman says to Riley then looks at me in askance and I just stand there awkwardly.
I remember reading somewhere that bowing is sign of respect so I bow slightly and mumble 'have a grate day" before scurrying away.
I didn't look back out of fear of seeing distaste or disappointment on her face. I went straight into the house and into my room. I take a few calming breaths before look across the street.
I saw straight into Hero's room just like last night, he didn't even care. He was sprawled across his bed and I could clearly see large boxes thay needed to be unpacked.
He suddenly got up and I suddenly panicked. I I desperately wanted to move but I was frozen in place buy shock guilt and embarrassment.
He just stood there looking at me with a black expression.
And then he suddenly smiled.
My brain managed to start working again and I hurried over to my window and closed the drapes.
Damn it! Now he thinks I'm creep.
I wish the earth could just open up and swallow me whole never to be seen again.
I bet hes going to tell Riley about this and then she's either going to blackmail me with it or spread it like wild fire as soon as school reopens.
My senior year hasn't started and its already over.
Naomi's POVThe day I've been dreading is finally here.Yes, the first day of hell on earth.
Naomi's POVThe bus ride took forever since it had to stop at multiple streets. I didn't let it bother me too much since it was better than walking home.
Naomi POVI woke up in the same position I fell asleep with the book in hand laying across my bed. I scramble for my phone to check what time it was.I thanked the gods that I had time to get ready. I rushed to the shower to get washed after that I quickly packed my bag for school and pulled out something simple yet decent to wear.I grabbed blue ripped denim, a blue tank top, and a thin white oversized shirt. I then tried my hair into its usual messy bun, I stepped into my new flats and headed downstairs.As I enter the kitchen I head straight for the fridge to grab my usual breakfast along with a disposable fork. I check the key rack and I noticed that it was empty. I came to the conclusion
Hero's POVI woke up to the sound of the special ringtone I set for my mom. It was a recording of her nagging me.I quickly opened my eyes and grabbed the phone to answer."Good morning omma." I say trying not to sound sleepy."Why do you sound so sleepy, did you just wake up?She asks instantly catching on."No I've been up for 15 minutes now. I just waited on Rily to take us to school. I have to go omma I think she's ready." I lie handing up on her.I know she was going have my head for hanging up on her later but I wasn't going to miss my ride since I don't how
Naomi's POV My last class was on the stop floor, since I didn't want to bump into the girls who were talking about me early I stayed back in the classroom for a while. Amber found her way to where I was and a sigh escaped my body. "Hey Naomi, did you talk to him?" She asks taking a seat on the teachers desk. "He said no." I tell her plain and simple. They same way he told me. "What?" Shock overtook her features as soon as the words left my lips. "I bet she didn't even try." Her minion Joy scoffed at me. "Shut up Joy, she's not like that." Amber surprised me by defending me. "Look I told you that he and I aren't as close as you think." I tell them. But I also had to wonder what he saw me as since he searched for me today just to give me my Scrunchy back. Maybe he just didn't want to admit I was his friend so he could get into the clique of cool k
Naomi's POV Time trickled by slowly and it seemed as if the weekend would never come. Or maybe I was too excited for the book sale tomorrow. As the bell rang signaling the end of class I wasted no time heading to my locker and then straight for the upstairs bathroom. Since it was upstairs it was hardly occupied so I always go there to read during lunch. I go into my usual stall, I close the lid inspecting it to make sure its clean before I sit on it. About 10 minutes into reading my book I hear the slam open. "What this about Amber?" I hear Riley's voice ask. I stay quiet not wanting them to know I'm here. I start praying that they don't check the stalls and find out I'm here. "You know exactly what its about." Amber tells her in a matter of fact tone. They both stay quiet for an unusually long time before Mina spoke up again. I assume they were having a staining contest. "Don't play dumb with me Riley, you know i
Naomi's POVThe first week of over, which meant that summer had officially ended. But my fellow school mates were in denial, so their having a second end of summer party.As I sat cross legged on my yoga mat reading my book, I couldn't but glance at Riley and she fidget and fiddle her thumbs. No doubt she wanted to know if Dave was working tonight so she can go to the party.If he is working than she can go without asking. If not she has to come up with a good last minute excuse that'll convince him to let her go. But. If she just flat out ask him if he's working tonight he'll figure out she's up to something.And if she doesn't stop fidgeting soon, he's still going to find out something's up."Hey Dave.""Yeah?""How are things going at the hospital?" I ask nonchalantly.I shocked expressi
Hero's POVAs soon as Riley pulled up to house where the party was being held, you could hear loud music from outside.At the front the enormous house was filled with various types of cars, but not many people where out here.Only a few people here and there.When we finally get inside the house was packed and the music was deafening. Even though it was still early the party was in full swing and people were already drunk.Riley walked through the house confidently like she knew the place so I just follow her with no questions.She we came to a more secluded area, there less people here and more familiar faces. This part of the house seemed to be where most of the seniors were.In here had a more chilled and relaxed vibe, even though the same music was being blasted through the house. We soon stop
