It was a Sunday I went to the church for song practice.asusual Asher and his friends were playing football in front of the church. I passed the gate and entered the church. Asher and his friends look at me with a meaning

Suddenly Asher called me

"Maria"

"I have something to say"

"Should I said after the practice or should I say it now?"

I said without thinking for a second

"It is better to tell after the practice"

Asher nodded with a smile

After that, while I was practicing in the church, my friend named Serena called me and said that the teacher was looking for me. I went with her to meet the teacher. Suddenly she looked at me and said

"Wait for me for a moment I will come now"

"Uhm ok "I nodded

She went straight from me to Asher and the boys They are talking about something serious."Anyway, I'll just go here and see the teacher"

So I went up the steps that were in front of me and reached the office room. But there was no one in the office. "Did Serena lie to me ?"

"Or is this some kind of prank?"

I went downstairs and came to the place where Serena had stopped me earlier, and She is still talking to Asher. I looked at them suspiciously

"Are they thinking about me now?"

 I ran my eyes over everyone and suddenly one caught my attention

"It's Noah, why is he so nervous?"

Suddenly I understood what was going on there. "No No No"

"No way This shouldn't happen, how can this happen? Cool down Maria don't be nervous This is not going to happen. It's not right to stay here anymore, It is wise for me to escape quickly"

 When I got rid of him and started acting, I saw Finn "Oh, thank god I saw you Finn, you are my Angel"

I asked Finn with a puppy eyes "Can you talk to me for a while?"

Finn asked suspiciously, "Yeah, but what happened"

"Nothing much "I said in a calm voice

Finn is saying something, and I reply to his question, but my attention is on Asher and his friends. "I think I'm just over thinking. I should go there and see"

I moved from Finn to Serena. The closer I got, the more tense Noah's face was. Suddenly Noah grabbed my hand, and then he slowly looked into my eyes and then said"Maria I love you I love you so much"

My heart skipped a beat." I knew this was going to happen, but I didn't think it would happen this quickly. Oh my God, what am I going to say to him now?"

"Maria you ok Why are you silent?"

I said with a fake smile"Y…Yeah, I'm fine.Give me five minutes and I will come now "He nodded slowly

I ran away from him as if I had lost my life and then sat down on the stair then I ran for my life and I leaned against a wall near the gate

"Oh my God what will I do now?"

"Please give me a direction"

then I washed my face and went to Noah. Everyone is waiting for my reply.

"If I don't even know if I like him, If I don't accept him, will our friendship end? I don't like that happening"

I looked into his eyes and told him, "Noah, I am ready for this relation"

"6:10 Alas, Today is Saturday I am late, Noah will be waiting for me"

I took my scarf from the cupboard and dashed out of my room.

"It was enough if he didn't get mad at me"

I walked down the road quickly, and Noah was waiting for me on the other side of the road when I was about to cross it.

"For how long have I been waiting for you?"Where were you?

"I'm sorry I fell asleep"

He placed his arm around my shoulder and said, "Don't worry, let's go inside."

He took my hand and led me through the church. I can picture him holding my hand. I could feel the warmth and chill of my hands.

Putting a light touch on my hand, he said, "Your hand is cold."

"Oh, that must be because I just got out of the shower," I answered, but I could feel the anxiety causing my hand to shake.We entered the church's auditorium and took a seat in the designated area.He sat down beside me and stared into my eyes. I avoided his gaze and focused on the walls and the spinning fan instead. He placed his chin on another chair in front of him.Then he remarked, "Aren't you in class 7 now?"

"Yeah. Don't you know that?"

"I know; I'm just asking."

"Aren't you in ninth grade?"

He Nodded

 When I heard a voice coming from the auditorium door. I looked at Noah, and he stood up from his seat and said, "I'll go now, if anyone sees me with you." That will pose a difficulty."

"Yes, you go."

He calls while running fast and says, "Don't forget to come tomorrow. I'll wait."

I grinned in response to what he told me.After he left, I stepped out of the auditorium and noticed Noah waving at me from the road.

He asked me to return home tomorrow, and my mother would seek for me. I said, "See you tomorrow."

He said, "Maria. I love you." I didn't respond and instead chuckled. Why don't you say something back?I stated to escape and that it was time to go home and went away.The way he said I love you to me struck my heart in a beautiful way, and my heartbeats are becoming more regular for me.
