it'd been festering inside her for far too long. perhaps a full twenty-four hours, which was longer than she'd lasted before, certainly. she paced her apartment, submersed herself with distractions, and even went shopping. none of it could stop her from striding over to his front door. she raised her fist, ready to hammer on it before the image of the 'unhinged ex girlfriend' flashed through her mind. she froze, shifting to a softer knock. sure, maybe she was going to make some hefty accusations, but at least she could appear level-headed.

when the door eventually opened, she crossed her arms over her chest, hiding her clenched fists. "right, so i shouldn't have worried about her? the same her that waltzed right through this door yesterday? no worries at all, huh? it's almost like i'm always right," the words immediately rushing out of her.

"kay so i am entirely willing to rent whatever movies as long as we also watch the most recent 'i know what you did last summer'. not sure how you feel about the franchise, but i love freddie prinze jr. and i will not be taking any criticism. also i finished that one book i was telling you about so," she pulls the book from her bag, placing it on the coffee table in front of her. "your turn!" she declares in a sing-song voice. she looks at the other eagerly, snacks spilling from her bag. nights like these are a necessity for noah, lest she lose her sanity from the over-complexities of life. sometimes it is pertinent to revert back to childhood comforts.

"anything new, by the way? i don't hope for tea, but i do love to hear it," she smirks.

BIOGRAPHY ───────

noah was born into old money. the kind of old money that probably stirs up many moral dilemmas and speculations of illegal activity. as the first and only daughter in the family, it wasn't her job to worry about it or ask questions.

her mother would often teach her 'proper social etiquette', which is a very nice way of saying she would talk a lot of shit about other people. she'd tell noah she'd be shunned if she behaved that way and naturally, noah became overly concerned with social status and outward presentation.

with the careful watch of her mother constantly looming over her, this behavior ingrained itself into who she was. it followed her to college. of course, she could not be working towards a bachelor of arts and get along with her classmates if she harbored this attitude. she loosened up over the years, but these beliefs didn't wash away completely. she was more outwardly friendly to everyone and to those she didn't like? well, she got better at hiding it.

it helped that her mom did not approve of her job choice as a tattoo artist (of course). it drove a minor wedge between their relationship and they grew distant. despite this, noah still yearns for her approval and harbors a lot of insecurity about not being perfect in the eyes of her mother.

tldr: she's a not-so-retired mean girl who loves hard and hates harder. she also has mom trauma! yippe! oh and she's a rich girl :/ don't eat her pls she isn't real.
