Chapter 3 My Hero

Georgina was in her bedroom, lying in her bed. After their dinner, she went directly to her laptop to check her messages. She heard her mother reminding her not to take too long on the internet. It will cause damage to her eyes. She put both of her hands in her ears. Trying to block the sermon of her mother she hears every night.

She opened her social media account and saw her friends' messages. She tries to read each of them and reply as much as possible.

After responding to everyone, she started a video call to Amira and Marga, her two best friends back in Kansas City.

"Hi girls, I miss you so much. Thank you for your messages." Georgina started the conversation.

" G, we miss you so much already. I can't believe you are 2,300 miles away from us," Amira told her.

" It started to get boring here without you,'' Marga added.

The three girls continued their conversation until almost midnight when they talked about their first school day. They ask her about the boy she met, and she can't help but giggle. It was already midnight when she's done talking with her friends.

The following day, Georgina saw Pamila at the entrance and hurriedly approached her.

"Hi, good morning," Georgina greeted. " George, hi, good morning," Pamila replied, hugging her.

Georgina smiled. She was glad about Pamilas' bubbly personality. They were hugging each other when Noah came from the gate. He looks at her without emotion, but his eyes are still expressive even if he does that. She tensed in Pamilas embrace.

" What's wrong? You felt stiff.'' Pamila said.

" Oh, I'm sorry.'' She let go of their embrace and turned her face in the front to avoid Noah's eyes. She pretended she was not affected by his presence and asked Pamila about their homework. Before Pamila could answer, Noah spoke behind them.

" I'll go ahead in my classroom." and look at her. Pam realizes why she became conscious and remembers she has to introduce Georgina to her brother.

" Noe waits," she calls him and drags his arms toward Georgina. She introduced Georgina to him. Georgina didn't know what to do, it was not her first time talking to a guy, but he was different. She didn't understand why she weakened when he was around.

" Hi, I'm Georgina Witherspoon from Kansas City. I just moved here," Georgina buckled. She wanted to snap at herself at that time for being so naïve.

" Hi, Noah, Pam's brother." He smiled slightly, eyes fixed on her. Their conversation was cut when the bell rang.

" I got to go. It's nice meeting you, Georgina." Noah smiled before leaving them.

Pamila called Georgina's attention since she was still stuck with Noah. What is happening to me? She thought she had to get to her senses; every time she saw him, she felt like an idiot. She can't stay like that forever. She decided to have a clear mind.

"Hey, are you okay? Pamila asks her.

" Yeah, Yes, sure," Georgina tries to hide her embarrassment. She doesn't want her friend to think she was affected by her brother.

"Let's go?" she asks Pam.

" Let's go!" Pam repeated after she held her arms. They smiled at each other and started to head inside the building.

After the morning class, Pamila and Georgina eat their lunch in the canteen with their other classmates.

" Pam, is your brother aware he is a god here to some of the girls on the campus?" Marcus asks Pam.

Marcus is gay, and he talks to Pam while chewing his food while looking at Noah, so is Georgina. Georgina's eyes turned to Marcus before it came back to Noah.

Noah was eating his lunch across their table,

She turned her eyes away when he looked in her direction; she didn't want to get caught, so she put on to focus on her food.

"Nah, he is not. He was just normal. All those girls will run away once they know him," Pamila talked nonchalantly.

Everyone at the table laughs at her apparent sibling war. Georgina smiled and continued eating her food silently.

The crowd in the canteen went silent when Amanda came inside the room with her two friends behind her back. The three girls went directly to Noah and sat beside him.

Georgina looked around the canteen, and she observed everyone was looking in their direction, so she followed her eyes to them.

Amanda greeted Noah, and he smiled back at the girl politely. Amanda gave him some of her food on her plate, Noah tried to stop her, but she insisted. He accepted her food and continued eating. His friends at the table started to tease him. Some boys are obviously into Amanda.

Amanda smiled in triumph and almost giggled, facing her friends, she started eating, and everyone was back to doing what they did.

" Who is she?" Georgina can't help herself to ask.

" She is Amanda Harris; she is very popular, she has a huge following in her Twitter and Youtube channel," Michaela replied. Georgina observed her face was sour.

" You look like you don't like her, Mic," Georgina concluded.

" I sure don't," she briefly replied.

She didn't ask any further, but she was sure something had happened terribly in the past, so she just continued to eat her food.

Georgina felt thirsty, so she moved to the counter and got more drinks, she didn't know what had happened, but another student started to move around, not watching his step, and bumped her back. Georgina didn't know Noah was already in her side, so she fell flat in Noah's body, his back on the floor, and their lips touched slightly from their position.

'Is this happening' Georgina thought as their lips touched?

She felt a tingling sensation. She realized their awkward position and hurried to stand before unwittingly brushing her lips; she felt her mouth dry and left Noah hurriedly without looking back.

Noah shakes his head, turning his head in Georgina's direction; he is sometimes amazed at her reaction when they are together.

The kid who hit Georgina asked sorry, Noah. He looked around the place and smiled at him. "It's fine; you did a good job, thanks."

The boy looked confused as Noah tapped his shoulder.
