{Chapter written by alicejpctter}

I trudge down the front stairs of Ubisoft, my mind whirling into insanity. What had I done?

There must have been some reason as to why he flipped off when I asked him that question. I knew I should have been careful with him, but no, I just had to act like a lunatic and ruin all the chances of impressing him.

Yes, I had realised that he was simply testing me, and now as I come to think about it, I should not have said that. Why couldn't I have stuck to the questions on my list and get over with it?

But of course, June Holmes is a genius moron, who has skilfully demolished all the impact she wanted to make on Noah Lee.

Goddamn oxymorons.

Now all there was left to do was go home and email the questions to Noah, and call it a day.

I look around for a taxi, and as I get hold of one, I sit inside and tell him the name of my residence.

"Où est-ce?", says the driver.

"Je vais vous montrer", I reply with the French I know, and start giving him the directions to my home.

I walk back to the door and as I'm about to open the door with my own keys, Adrian's smiling face greets me.

"Hey June! How was the interview?"

"You both are here?", I ask as I walk past him and collapse on the sofa.

"Well... Neha is out for returning the book she borrowed, but she will be coming back soon. So, how was it?"

"Okay, I guess.", I say nonchalantly.

"Okay? That's it? No 'Oh my God Noah is so handsome and we almost hugged and he was so impressed' talks I was expecting from-" he stopped talking after looking at the grimace on my face.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't wanna talk about it now." My voice was forceful.

Probably sensing the danger, he backed off slowly.

His words have brought back the recent memory of us almost hugging, him shrugging off my coat, his slight smile as I giggled, his sleeves rolled up and-

STOP IT JUNE. This is what he said; he disliked fangirls fawning over him. That's what you are doing. It's only Level 1.

My gaze fell over the piece of paper; the list of questions, and I jumped towards my laptop, which was kept on the coffee table. Wait, how did it get there?

Opening my account, and ignoring my overflowing inbox, I click 'Compose Message' and type Noah's Email-ID. I go onto type up all the questions written, carefully not typing up extra questions. I'm about to type another question saying 'What are your tips for 3-D programming?' when the bell rang, and Adrain rushed to answer it. Of course he did, as it was Neha.

"Oh hey Adrian! And is June ba-"

"Hey to you too", I cut her off, and I continue to type furiously.

"Oh, hey June! How was the interview? You impressed Noah? Oh how did he look like? Please tell me-"

"Calm down Neha. I'll tell you how it was later."

"Wait, let me get this straight, she gets a 'calm down' and I get a glare when we both mention the interview?" said Adrian reproachfully.

I press 'Send' on the screen, and I look at both of them. I contemplated; should I tell them, or should I keep it deep within my soul, buried beyond reach?

I chose the first option, but with some hesitation. It took me a minute to think.

"It was okay, but not that great."

'Why?" they both asked in unison.

"I pissed him off! I reached late, and I had to go to the 71st floor of the building, and he reprimands me for being late! Like I'll be able to be on time when you have your office at such a height like your ego!

That got me angry of course, and I ended up saying something terrible and ugh I managed to anger him. I asked some questions, but then I ended up asking something which wasn't on the list, and I messed up, and he yelled at me to go away! I have to email him the rest. He told me to, but the nerve of him! And-"

"Relax and breathe first dear! I'm sure you are over thinking. He probably did that in the heat of the moment! Maybe he's calmed down now and is probably not minding it at all! He did tell you to email him, correct? That means he's not that mad at you!"

Her mini rant was interrupted by a small 'ding!' from the laptop. I had got an email. Refreshing the page, I saw that it was from Noah. He had replied to my email. What if he really had forgiven me? Or said something about the incident?

My heart was probably going to burst out. Shakily, I clicked and perused through the reply, searching for something other than the answers.

To my utter disappointment, he had written nothing other than the answers. Nothing else. Just the answers, in an extremely professional tone. It seemed as if we had never met.

The disappointment was visible on my face, for Adrian and Neha looked worried. Adrian came and sat on the sofa, and put his arm around me.

"Hey, don't let it bother you, okay? He may be your role model, but he did not have any right to shout at you like that. He isn't worth your worries. Let it not cloud your mind. Focus on your classes for tomorrow, yeah?"

I nodded and smiled. Yeah, that sounded great, I could use some focus. Drowning in assignments and deadlines actually seemed like a way better idea.

It's gonna be so freakin' easy to forget about him.

Right?

A/N: I'm so sorry this update took such a long time. And that this chapter is not as long as the previous one. I was supposed to continue from where Alice left off but I'm a lazy procrastinator and so please accept my apologies <3

Hats off to my brilliant friend for the spectacular writing! She's the best :D I'm so glad I'm working with her. Follow follow follow!

June has so many mixed feelings when it comes Noah. It's quite frustrating, isn't it?

If you look at the gifs, you have smiley Adrian, offended Adrian, concerned Neha, mid-rant Neha and last but not least, comforting Adrian.

And of course, Adrian gets the glare while Neha gets a 'calm down' because we all know that glaring at Neha is not going to be good for any of the involved parties :'D

Next chapter will be updated soon and it'll probably include a Day in the Life of June with a twist. So look forward to it!
