My Annoying Superstar's

School Friend Noa

Noa put her glasses on. He was working on his writing at a cafe near Cleo's workplace. Today he and Cleo would eat together as usual.

Noa racked his brain thinking of all the story ideas that could be produced. But it seemed like the memory capacity of his head had already reached the threshold.

Noa closed her laptop and sipped a milkshake in front of her. Why Cleo was so long ago, surely she was listening to the ravings of one of her patients.

" Excuse me. You're the author of Noa right?", a teenage girl scolds Noa.

" Yes right. Can I help you?", Noa asked kindly.

The woman looked delighted and pinched the softness of the friend she was with. " I'm a fan of yours. I'm Ami. Can I have a signature and a photo together?", he asked.

" Hey Ami.. Yes it can be ", Noa said kindly.

The girl handed him a book and a pen. Noa signed. Noa had a fan meeting because of one of his books but only the first time he was known to people like this.

" I've always followed your Couple Star program. I like your behavior so natural. You guys are a great fit ", that girl's chat.

"Thank you for following our program", Noa thanked me kindly. Then they took pictures together.

" I idolized Cruz. Please take care of her as best you can and I will become your idol if you get married" the girl said before leaving making Noa laugh only lightly.

' Where is nature from? He should have known I was almost hit by a high bloodbath because of the salt in my cereal bowl', Noa's inner self after the girl left.

Noa sat back down waiting for Cleo. Not many minutes ago a tall man and a handsome face stood before Noa.

" You're Noa huh? Noa Rylie is SMAN 3?", asked the man.

' Hadeh who else is this', Noa sat there staring at the man's astonishment. " Yes, who's sorry?", Noa asked.

" It's Me. Christian. You recall? Class 3 IPS basketball captain SMAN 3? The one you threw the ice cendol" he explained at length because Noa looked confused.

The word ice cendol caused Noa to widen her eyes. " Christian... Christian Wijaya's. That one?", Noa was unable to continue her words.

How Noa was not surprised, Noa very well remembered the cause of the throwing of the cendol. And Noa's still embarrassed if anyone brings it up.

"Oh****", Noa sizzled quietly to herself.

" ha... How are you doing? A coincidence yes.. Haha What are you doing here?", Noa brinya stiff.

" Good news. I am the owner of this cafe. This is one of my businesses" he replied. " You how are you?", he reached out to Noa.

Noa shook Christian's hand a little doubtful "My news is good. Very well".

Cleo looked at Noa in disbelief. "You're sure it's Christian you threw the cendol for thinking he'd declare love to you but it turns out... Ha ha ha ha ha ha", Cleo was unable to continue speaking because of the funny feeling that attacked.

Noa looked at Cleo irritatedly. After meeting Christian, Noa quickly left the cafe and called Cleo to change their lunch.

"That's all because you're Cleo dodol... ck.", Noa nagged at Cleo while pulling the tip of her best friend's hair.

"Ha ha ha... Aye yes... Haha I'm sorry .. sorry... ", Cleo calmed herself down. She wiped away the tears that came out at the end of her eyes from laughing.

" It seems like he's been watching me for a long time Cle. He wasn't sure at first, then somehow he was convinced and introduced himself as the basketball captain I threw the ice cendol... ", Noa told a story while letting out a short sigh.

Cleo cekikian heard the word ice cendol "a pity yes even though it is our favorite cafe" said Cleo.

Noa nodded. So the story used to be when High School, Noa and Cleo were still 2nd grade and Christian 3rd grade High School. Noa is the chairman of taekwondo extracurriculars and Christian is the captain of their High School basketball. Christian was very popular at the time.

Somehow Christian keeps his eyes on Noa. When Noa was training, when he met on the field. At first it was rare but long-time Noa began to be disturbed. It feels like it's always being watched.

The cause of this mess is Cleo. Noa told Cleo about her discomfort because she was noticed by her upperclassman.

" I'm 100% sure he likes you. Absolutely sure. She just broke up with her boyfriend", Cleo said confidently.

And Noa whose dating experience at that time was worth 0, foolishly believed in his best friend. Situations supporting that misunderstanding, Christian several times helped him when Noa was in trouble. Noa and Cleo are convinced that Christian likes Noa.

One day when Noa and Cleo were out in the canteen, Christian came to Noa. Noa's heart was pounding so fast because the dodol Cleo said she would definitely shoot you today.

" Hi Noa, my name is Christian. I have something to tell you. I'm actually... ", had Christian finished his words yet, Noa quickly threw the spoon into Christian's uniform nervous to think Christian would express love in front of a crowd.

Of course the whole canteen was silent. It turns out that the ends are Christian wants to invite cooperation for school art performance. Do you know how lazy Noa is? And Cleo was the one who laughed the most over the embarrassment of her best friend.

" It's okay. You won't see her again" Cleo said sure.

"That's the problem Cle" Noa covered her face with a hand.

" What's the problem?", asked Cleo chewing her food.

"He was a fan of all my horror writing" Noa said in a panic.

" What?", Cleo was shocked.

Noa nodded. Cleo looked like she was thinking.

"Then get close to him, who knows this time he really likes you" Cleo continued ignorantly making Noa emotional.

Noa looked at Cleo annoyed. "Cle, shut up before I get mad" Noa was upset.

Cleo laughed "Alright. Alright... But he won't be able to contact you. He was just a fan" Cleo said.

" That's the problem. He asked for my phone number. I cannot refuse his request. Obviously my phone was in plain sight", Noa bowed again.

Cleo sighed. " Then you have to look normal if he calls you Noa. Remember that is the past, now is the future. Let's just say you never did that", Cleo gave a smart ass solution.

Noa looked at Cleo. " Did I just dodge it?", asked Noa.

" Hmmm... Just try. You used to avoid Cruz, right? this time do more intent and persevering", Cleo gave encouragement.

" Yes.. I'll do it. But I'm sure he won't call me" Noa said confidently.

" I'm sure he'll call you" Cleo was more sure.
