Baby I'm A Sinner novel Chapter 15

"You do know you drive a Bentley, right?" I asked him as we made our way back to the booth.

He didn't answer and I sat back down in my place. He definitely didn't hate me.

***

"Hey I can't come to your house today, only after five because I have practice." Noah told me the next day right after French.

"Okay. I'm gonna wait then I guess."

"You could give me your address?" he suggested.

"It's fine, I can wait. Besides, I wouldn't mind taking a ride in a Bentley."

"You sure it's the Bentley you want to ride?" he asked in a suggestive tone.

"See you later Noah." I said and turned around before he could see my embarrassing blush.

I stood after school to watch their practice since we didn't get any homework that day, thank God. Harry also joined me in the bleachers and I found it kind of cute that every time the coach praised Lucas, Harry would get this fond smile on his face.

Which left me wondering why they weren't together, since they seemed to really like each other. However, I didn't ask him about it because that would've been really rude and inappropriate.

Noah seemed really pissed off during the two hours of practice and even more so when we met up by his car after it was over.

"Why are you angry?" I asked him once we got into his car. And holy shit, the seats felt so good to sit on and everything was so shiny and leathery.

"Had a test in algebra today and the teacher threw me out for cheating."

"Did you actually cheat?"

"No I didn't. I hate it when people misjudge me."

The rest of the ride was silent, the silence only interrupted by me giving him directions. Soon enough, we were in front of my house and he was parking on the sidewalk.

None of my parents were home yet, only Jade was in her room. She greeted us once she heard Noah talking and then want back to her room because she had some math homework.

"Okay so did you learn your part?"

"Partly." He said and I didn't take it as a pun. "Can't we read off the slides as we show the project?"

"I think Mr. White will want us to turn to the class and speak."

He rolled his eyes and sat down on my bed, putting a leg under himself. My fat cat emerged from under the bed and jumped on him, startling him.

"What the fuck." He protested and held her up to look at her.

"That's my cat, Charlie."

"Does she bite?"

"Not unless you make her mad."

He placed her on the bed next to him and stroked her back as we quickly went through our project lines. He seemed to have actually made an effort and learn what he had to say because half an hour later we were done, and had already rehearsed three times.

He was about to say something, probably about leaving, when my mom opened the door and stopped in her tracks when she spotted him laying on his stomach on the bed. She then looked at me, who was sitting at the desk.

"Why is there a Bentley in front of our house?" she asked me, not looking away from Noah.

"That would me mine."

"Um...mom this is Noah. We were just finishing a project for school."

"That's great! Listen, I was just coming to ask you, did you eat all the cookies your grandma brought over yesterday?"

"Uh. No?" I said, heart starting to beat faster because I knew where this was going.

"I hope not because you're starting to get obvious cellulite." She said and smiled at Noah once more before excusing herself.

"For what?"

Was he for real?

"I need to break into school and I can't without something black on my head."

"Are you out of your mind? Why would you do that?"

"To teach my algebra teacher a lesson."

"You're crazy."

"You can either throw me the beanie or come with me."

"You want me to come with you to break into school in the middle of the night." I stated.

"I didn't say I wanted you to. I said that you could if you wanted to."

I snorted and shook my head before looking back down at him.

"Give me ten minutes."

I quickly returned to my room and went straight for the closet, trying to find the darkest clothes I owned. Which, wouldn't be that hard since most of the clothes I owned were black.

I chose a pair of black skinny jeans, a black shirt with an R in the middle of it, plain black Vans, the black jacket and a 'Homies' beanie.

I was a bit nervous and actually contemplated on whether I should do this or not, but Noah was waiting outside for me and I wasn't going to let him down so he could think that I was a loser.

The only problem was sneaking out, which turned out not to be that hard since everyone was already sleeping and our door didn't have an alarm. I took my keys out of the jar by the door and after I made sure not to make any noise, I walked out of the house, closing the door silently.

Opening the gate wasn't that hard and didn't make any noise, so soon enough I was standing before Noah with my hands on my hips.
