It was an ordinary day, and you were on the train with Noah and James on the way to school. Noah, your boyfriend, was sitting next to you, while James, a close friend, was standing in front of you, leaning against the grab bar. The train ride was peaceful, and you and James were talking excitedly about a new game you had played over the weekend. The conversation flowed naturally, and you laughed at some inside jokes.

Noah, however, seemed quiet beside her. He watched intently as you became more and more involved in the conversation with James, and you felt your attention shift away from him, even if it wasn't intentional.

In the middle of your laugh, you felt a light slap on your butt. Surprised, you quickly looked at Noah, who was smiling, with an expression of someone who wanted attention.

"Hey, Noah! What was that?" You asked, trying to hide your smile but failing miserably.

"You were too busy with James," he said with a slightly teasing tone. "I thought I needed to remind you that I'm here too."

James started laughing, shaking his head. "Noah, jealous as always."
