Chapter 1

Cathy's POV: 

I woke up to my alarm blaring loud enough to wake up the entire house, inching toward my nightstand I turned it off, I sighed getting out of bed and ready for the first day of school. Over the summer I went away from Australia and to America with my family, I know lame but on my 17th birthday I met Noah. 

*flashback*

My feet felt the sand as I was walking down the beach, everyone at the hotel was spending my birthday without me. Somehow I was forgotten on the day that was supposed to be just mine. I watched the moonlight shine over the waves when I suddenly bumped into a tall, muscular and brown haired boy. He picked up my phone that I didn't realize fell to the sand. I stared at him as he handed me my phone. I had never seen someone more attractive in my 17 years of living. 

"Hey you um dropped your phone" he said running his fingers through his hair

"Uh thanks for picking it up" I said awkwardly 

"What're you doing here? I thought you were a part of the celebration happening in there" he said pointing to the hotel window that was not so far away 

"That celebration in there was supposed to be my birthday party, not trying to bum you out or anything" 

"That sucks, how old today?" 

"17" I said 

"Would you mind it if I joined you?"

"Atleast that way I won't have to spent my birthday alone" I said as we walked 

"So tell me what's your name?" I asked looking up to his eyes 

"I'm Noah Flynn, I'm 18 and I guess that's it" 

"What brings you to the beach so late?" I ask 

"My little brother and his bestfriend are having a sleepover and that's more than enough of a reason" he said chuckling

*end of flashback*

On that night he gave me his phone number, that progressed into a long distance relationship. 

I opened my phone before I got off bed to find a text from, the one and only Noah

Noah : Goodmorning <3 you'll probably read this hours from now but I wanted to tell you for the thousandth time that I love you 

Cathy : aww morning Noah, again you'll probably read this in a few hours but I love you too ❤️

For the first day of school I decided to wear jeans and a blue t-shirt and black shoes, I tied my short black hair into a ponytail and styled it with a bandana. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where I saw dad and mom make breakfast and my younger sister sitting on the chair with a platform with pancakes and orange juice

"Morning guys" I said as I heard a chorus of goodmornings in response 

"I won't have breakfast today I'm late for school" I said to my parents throwing my bag onto my shoulders and taking my car keys, I got a hand me down from my uncle but my sister who barely got her learners permit got moms new car urgh. 

I didn't wait for my parents to speak as I slammed the door behind their faces. 

Walking into school I saw everyone's faces that I absolutely did not miss over the summer with everyone saying hey and hi I ignored them all till I walked past Ashton Irwin, I absolutely hated him with every bit of my being, him and his friends could suck my non existent di*k. The day these boys were shifted here every girl has been heads over heels for them, maybe they're attractive but I don't get it. 

"Hey Cathy" Ashton said as I walked past him 

"Still don't want to talk to you Irwin" I said going to my locker and keeping my things in it. 

"Why not? Come'on I just want to be friends" I'm sure we he's said that to every girl in Hornsby

"I know you're lying now I'm going to go to class so just fuck off" I said slamming my locker behind him 

I sat down waiting for the English teacher to get to class as I saw Calum, Ashton's "best bud" sit beside me 

"You were really mean to Ashton today" he said putting down his books 

"I don't care, why does he keep bothering me anyway? I'm sure a lot of people would want to be one of his 'friends'" 

"That's not how Ashton really is" Calum said 

"Then what's he like? You'd know, you're his best friend. Tell me how wonderful Ashton really is!" 

"You know what you won't get it because if you didn't spend so much time drooling over Noah you'd know" 

"How did you know about Noah?" I asked seriously 

"It's not like you don't have Instagram" he said huffing 

"Neither of you boys follow me, how.do.you.know.about.him?" I said giving him a death glare, I could see it he was scared because he knew he messed up.  He felt relief as the English teacher walked into the classroom. 

"We're not done with this, I want to speak to you during lunch, meet me by the vending machine" I said trying my best not to stab him with the pen in my hand 

*lunch time* 

I stood by their vending machine with the Doritos and MnM's in my hand waiting for Calum when I saw him. 

"Where did you find out about Noah?!" I asked him when he was in front of me 

"I'll tell you but you have to promise not to tell anyone" 

"Fine I just want to know!" 

"I made a spam account where I follow mostly everyone from school"

"Gosh you scarred me! I thought you were doing some creepy work!"

"No I'm not" he said 

"Now tell me why you think Ashton is not the way I see him as" 

"He's not the male sl*t you think of him as, sure he has a lot of girls number but he never texts them and he's only ever slept with two girls"

"Wait what?!" I said 

"Believe it or not this is Ashton, he says it's because he's fallen for another girl but the guys and I don't know who she is"

"Wow I'm shocked like wow" 

"This conversation is only between us ok?" He said 

"Yeah don't worry about it" I said walking away 

"Wait where are you going? You can have lunch with me and the guys" he said 

"Never in a million years" I said chuckling and walking to my only friend at school, Keira. 

When I got home all I could think about was if Ashton was really the guy Calum said he was or was Calum lying to me? I had never had a proper conversation with him before this so why should I trust him? But why would he lie to me? He wouldn't! 

My brain debated with itself trying to figure out who I should trust but even if Ashton were a nice guy, I already have a boyfriend who I love.
