The picture wasn't hard to remember, she had been there the day he took it, for she was taking her own pictures in her purple bikini. Smiling, she whispered "Awesome picture," then glanced around the classroom. She quickly spotted Michelle and Ally, two of her close friends, the waved. She had to catch up with them and dish out the latest news about her and CJ, but they probably wouldn't be surprised. As class began and the teacher began rambling on about the course, Audrey dozed out, playing with the settings on her camera. With three periods left to go, she felt as if it would take forever before the day would end, before her and CJ could go swimming and talk about their summer.
As class began and they were all asked to pick a partner, Noah looked at the red head, nodding once. None of his friends were in this class, so she was his last resort. And not a bad one, either. "I'm Noah," he said quietly, then took the opportunity to check her out.
"Tara," she responded, then Noah watched as she ran a hand through her auburn strands of hair. Not saying anything more, Noah then turned his attention towards the teacher, who was named Mr. Parker. What a fucking NERD...fresh outta college... Noah thought to himself, and shook his head quietly. He noticed Tara checking out his tattoos from the corner of his eyes, then smirked, biting his lower lip gently. If they weren't in the middle of class, he would have gave her a witty comment, but since they were, he chose to stay silent, his eyes on the board. Take a picture, it'll last longer.
Before he knew it, the bell signaling 5th period had rung, and everyone stood up, Noah included. He watched as Tara gathered her belongings, then decided to say something else to her. "What class are ya goin to next?"
"History...Mr. Castelli."
"Whoa, really? Same here. Walk with me, will ya." The reply was more of a statement than a question, but nevertheless, Tara didn't hesitate to follow him out the door and down the stairs.
