The high school revenge

\"So, tell me what happened??\" Tom asked, the second Noah answered the telephone.

\"What happened?? What are you talking about?\" Noah asked innocently.

\"What?? Come on Noah, tell me, don\'t leave me like that. I spent all night yesterday and all day today wondering what happened. I couldn\'t call you earlier because I knew you had classes.\"

\"Sure, that\'s true! I had a lot of things to do today.\" Noah answered, not wanting to tell Tom anything about what happened with Jessy.

\"Noah, tell me what happened. Please. I\'m dieing here.\" Tom sounding so curious.

\"No. I am not telling you anything. You know why, because...\" Noah thought for a second. \"Maybe because you were the one who suggested going to my old house and flirting with my ex-wife.\"

\"Oh. Just answer this. Did you really think Jessy was going to tell you the truth right away?\" he asked in a sarcastic way. \"No Noah that was the only way, you knew that well. And I\'m sure it worked.\"

\"Yes, and for that I really should thank you. But still I won\'t say a thing.\" Noah answered teasing.

\"Okay now that I know it worked out, what now? What are you going to do with Nedia??\"

\"I don\'t know, Tom. I’ve been thinking I just don\'t understand why she lied to me about Nick. He is my child, my son. Just thinking about him makes me want to kill myself for not going after her four years ago. Just imagine this; I married Jessy for my child and let Nedia go, when I should have done exactly the opposite. But how was I supposed to know that Jessy wasn\'t pregnant, and that Nedia, on the other hand, was the pregnant one??\"

\"Well, forget about the past. Think about the future. What are you going to do?\"

\"I think I have to go there and talk to her. I just hope she\'ll believe me when I tell her the truth about Jessy\'s false pregnancy and that I knew nothing about Jessy\'s phone call.\" Noah said hopefully.

\"She\'ll believe you Noah, I\'m sure.\" Tom assured him.

\"I wish I could be that sure. I have to go now Tom. I\'ll call you later.\"

\"Ok. Bye\"

Noah leaned over his disk.

“Oh it has been such a long day.” He murmured. After he finished his classes Noah drove across the city to Mr. Simpson’s office and there he started working on a very important case, his boss asked him to handle. But of course After Tom’s phone call Noah tried to got back to work but he wasn\'t able to concentrate.

He closed his eyes and remembered yesterday. It wasn’t a good day at all, well maybe visiting his family was a good thing but what happened afterward wasn’t good at all.


After his meeting with Jessy, Noah drove his car to his favorite place; the deserted land he loved so much. He stayed there in his car remembering his one and only night with Nedia. He remembered everything about that night. He remembered the way she told him, \"I love you\". It was like he could hear her say the words again. They were so vivid in his head that he decided to go back immediately and make things right. She loved him once and he could make her love him again.

Noah’s thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door “ Noah are you done?” asked Ben. One of Noah’s colleagues.

After an hour of trying to focus on his work, Noah decided to go back home, “I think I’ll finish everything tomorrow, I’m so tired.” he answered thinking about leaving as fast as he can, he’ll go home, take a shower, and go out again, not to work of course, but to Nedia\'s place. \"I have to talk to her today.\" He said but this time to himself.

“Okay see you tomorrow.” Ben said as he walked back to his disk.

Noah collected his things and left the office. It was raining outside but he didn\'t care. All he wanted was to get home quickly. Of course, due to the rain, the traffic was unbelievable. It took him over an hour to get home.

\"Finally.\" He said angrily as he parked his car. He stepped out of it and sprinted toward the building. It was raining heavily and he didn\'t have a jacket or umbrella to keep himself dry. He ran with his head down, to avoid the rain, while trying not to bump into people.

But you can\'t run while looking at the ground and not hit someone, hard. Thankfully, Noah was able to catch himself and his accidental target, keeping them from falling to the wet pavement.

\"I\'m sorry, it\'s raining and I...\"He stopped talking, and felt his heart skip a beat.

\"Nedia!\" he whispered.

\"Noah,\" Nedia said looking at him with her hair so wet it was stuck to her face. \"... You really should stop running into me like that you know.\"

\"Nedia I... Do you want to come up?\" he asked hoping she would agree.

\"Yes sure, unless you want to talk here.\" She said smiling.

Noah stood there watching her standing in the rain, smiling at him. He couldn\'t believe she was actually there.

\"No, no come on, let\'s get inside.\" He said quickly.

Noah opened the door for her, and she stepped inside the building.

\"Come on in.\" Noah turned to look at Nedia. He wondered what she was doing here.

\"Thanks\" she said as she entered the apartment.

\"Ah- I\'ll go get you a towel, your hair...\" He pointed at her hair.

\"Oh, I didn\'t know it was going to rain.\"

Noah left the room and returned with a big towel for her hair and something else in his hands.

\"Here, I got you a dry shirt; you should change out of your wet clothes.\"

Nedia thought this was going to be easy, but sitting there with her hair and clothes soaked with water, and Noah asking her to change into one of his shirts. Oh, that\'s not what I planned for, she thought.

\"Thank you. Where is the bathroom??\" She asked, getting up.

\"First door on the right.\" He answered.

\"Okay.\" She took the shirt from him.

Nedia closed the door behind her and leaned back on it.

Oh my god.
