______________________________________________________________________________
*Noah's P.O.V.*
We were all sleeping peacefully until Chris decided to be a major dick, and wake everyone up via mega-phone and blow horn.
"OW! It's seven in the morning! Do I look like a farmer to you?" trust me honey, if you were a farmer, you would've been up way before seven-o-clock in the morning. All the boys in the cabin - except me and Cody - groaned, and slowly got out of bed and got dressed - basically throwing their clothes over their pj's for the time being. I saw that everyone had these super tired expressions. Seriously, did no one sleep last night? Of course, much to my plesure, Justin's was the worst. His hair was all madded, and he had dark bags under his eyes.
"Looks like beauty takes mornings off, huh Justin?" because it has sure left you. Justin gave me an angry glare, and stummbled tiredly out of the cabin. I chuckled slightly, and then got out of bed. Hey, might as well start the day, right?
"So, what do you have agaist Justin?" Cody asked sleepily as he hopped off of the top bunk. His hair was madded like Justins, but...the way he wore it, it could actually looked, dare I say...cute. Like, in a puppy dog sort of way. Not like...beautiful cute, or anything like that.
"Well, lets just say we had a...disagrement." and thats just putting it lightly.
"Oh...well thats kind of a bummer." yeah, sure it is. I then finished getting dressed, and headed out of the cabin with Owen - who had also had finished dressing. As the other team passed, I noticed that the home-schooled wasn't there, so he must've gotten the boot last night. Eh, can't really say I'm suprised. Courtney probably hated Ezekiel after he told my team her eye was getting worse. She probably voted for him, and convinced everyone else to vote him out as well. We then finaly arived at the main area to see Chris waiting for us.
"Morning!" piss off. "Hope you slept well." sure you do.
"Hi Chris!" Heather greeted, sounding very peepy. "You look really buff in those shorts." sure he does, and I'm the President of the United States.
"I know." whatever helps you sleep at night, dude "Okay, I hope your all ready, next challenge begins, in one minute!" great. It's not even nine yet, and I'm my day has already been ruined by Chris.
"Oh, excuse me, but I don't know if that's enough time to eat breakfast." your kidding, right?
"Oh, you'll get breakfast Owen." sure he will. " Right after you complete your twenty colometer run around the lake!" oh, you've got to be joking.
"Oh, so your funny now?" the Russian-Canadian teen asked, walking up to Chris. "You know what I think would be funny?" she then reared back her fist, and it actually looked like she was going to punch him. Okay, I don't know who she is, but I'm liking this girl a bit more now. of course, Duncan and Geoff stopped her before she could lay a finger on him.
"Eva, try to control your temper!" Courtney snapped, trying to keep it a whisper. Hey, if shes gonna punch Chris, I say let her go for it.
"Your enjoying this, aren't you?!" probably just a smidge.
"A little." knew it. "You have thrity seconds!" great to know. Duncan and Geoff finaly let go of Eva, and she stomped angrly to the starting line. The rest of us walked to the starting line, and along the way, Cody walked beside me.
"So...what do you think her problem is?" Cody whispered to me, quickly pointing at Eva.
"I don't know. Either she ran out of vadica, or she hasn't had her daily smoke yet." then again, she could always just be an angry person. Cody gave a snicker of amusment, and I felt tons of butterflys enter my stomach. After everyone made it to the starting line, Chris then got to the side of us, and waited till we were quiet.
"Okay runners, on your mark...get set...GO!" and their off. Cody bolted out of the starting line with great speed, and I felt a sudden wanting to chase him. I then started running to keep up with the speedy brunet, but to no success. Even though I didn't catch up to Cody right away, I was suprised of how well I was doing. I passed a lot of the people who had left first, and thought I could even see Cody once or twice. Of course, when I passed Heather, I couldn't help but make an effort to slow down and bump into her. Nothing personal, I just don't really like her.
"Do you mind?" no, not at all. I then picked up pace again, and continued my search for Cody. You know...so we could come in at the same time. After a minute of solid running and an announcment from Chris, I finaly cought up to Cody - who had switched from a run to a walk. I then came up beside him, and switches to a walk as well.
"Oh...hey dude." Cody greeted, gasping for air a bit.
"Hey there Codester. I never knew you could run that fast." yeah do you take illegal drugs or something?
"I've always been quick on my feet. Being the littlest teen in my whole neighbor hood, I gotta find some way to out run the bigger kids." thats true. I guess if I was the shortest kid on my block, I'd have to run faster too. Then, a whole group of people ran passed us, and Cody got a playful smirk. "So, last one back to camp's a rotten egg!" Cody exclaimed. Before I could answer, Cody switched back to a run.
'No fair! You gotta head start!" I'm still gonna beat you though. I then raced after Cody. I followed his every turn and I was actually keeping a good pace with him. As I ran faster, I noticed it was a little harder for me to breath. I kept going, but pretty soon I was panting heavily. 'Arent forests supposed to have more air?' I thought bitterly, still tring to keep pace with Cody. Then, as we turned this one corner, I triped over a giant root that was sticking out of the ground.
I landed straight on my chest, and whatever air I had left in me was knocked out. I then started to black out - due to the fact I had also hit my chin pretty good on the landing. As I did, I had one last concious thought: I hope Cody makes it back okay.
Then everything went black.
*Cody's POV*
'I'm SO gonna win!' I though as I approuched the camp's mess hall. I bursted through the doors, and the campers who had already shown up all turned toward me."HA! I knew I'd win dude!" I exclaimed triumphantly, looking behind me expecting to see Noah trailing in not to far behind me. Of course, when I looked behind me...their was nobody there.
"Who are you talking to, dude?" Trent asked, raising an eye brow in confusion.
"Well, Noah and I were having a race you see, and I was sure he would be coming in right after me." maybe I should go look for him...
"You were racing Noah?" Gwen asked, sounding very suprised. "Look, not trying to be rude or anything, but Noah dosn't seem like the physical type - let alone be into running." well...she does have a point there. "He probably just fell behind, and is making his way back to camp now."
"You know...your probably right! Your smart, and I think people need to start listening to you." plus, your a total hottie!
"Um....thanks." thanks! Oh, she's SO into me! I nodded my head slightly, and took a seat right next to Gwen. She gave me a look that said: did-you-really-just-sit next-to-me, and stood up.
"Don't sit next to me." whatever you say baby. She then stomped off, and joined the goor for nothing punk - Duncan - on the floor at the end of the ness hall. Hey, if she wants to be in denial of liking me, let her. She'll come around soon enough. I then remembered what I was worrying about earlier, and I turned my full attention toward the mess hall's door. The minutes seem to drag on, and soon, it had been a whole half-hour.
'Where is he?' I wondered, keeping my eyes locked on the mess hall door. I started to get jittery, and my mind kept brining up the posibility he was hurt. 'He can't be hurt.' I reasured myself. 'I mean.....it's just a little run in the woods...right? What could've happened to him?' except a bear attack, that is.
Wait...when did I start worrying about Noah so much?
*Noah's P.O.V.*
'Uh.......what happened?' I wondered as my body slowly started to come back into contiousness. 'How...how long have I been out? Oh god, CODY! He's probably worried sick!' I tried to get up, but my body refused to do it. I then tried to at least open my eyes, but...my body refused to do that as well. 'This is just perfect! I'm probably gonna die here now! I may starve....maybe get eaten by a bear...or even-'
"HOLY RICE AND BEANS! Are you okay Noah?" wait....Owen? "Noah...Noah....NOAH, ANSWER ME!" I'd love to, but ....it seems I'm unable. Owen then ran over to me, and started shaking me widley. "PLEASE NOAH! YOU HAVE TO ANSWER ME!!!!" yeah, the best way for me to magicaly wake and talk to you is by shaking me.
"What's....wrong.....with......string bean?" wait, is that....Lashawna?! And when did she start calling me string bean?
"I DON'T KNOW! I JUST FOUND HIM LIKE THIS! HE'S NOT WAKING UP, AND...And.....and....." the over-wieght Canadian then broke into heavy sobs, and started crushing me in a death hug. Can't....breath....need...air! I manedged to make a gasping noise, and it thankfully didn't go un-noticed by Owen. "HOLY HAMS, HES ALIVE!" no duh genious. "I HAVE TO GET HIM TO THE MESS HALL, ASAP!" Owen then put me over his shoulder, and started running to the mess hall.
'Note to self: remember to black-out around Owen because you'll get carried for free.' I thought, smirking ever-so-slightly. In minutes, we were back at camp, and Owen was bursting through the mess hall doors.
"Clear a tabel, STAT!" Owen shouted as the mess hall doors flew open. I then imagined the expressions on everybodys face, and, I had to admit, I was a smidge embarresed. Owen then threw me down onto a tabel, and started performing the chest pumping part of CPR. I actually felt my brething and heart-rate going back to normal.
"Ugh, WE MADE IT!" Lashawna exclaimed as Ownen continued to pump my chest.
"What took you so long?" Courtney asked someone on the other side of the room. "We just lost the challenge!" wait....they did?
"I think....I'm having....heart-pelpetations." (A/N: no idea if I spelled it right....) great to know, super-nerd. Thanks to Owen, I was finaly able to start opening my eyes. All the people gathered around me got relieved expressions.
"Hey, wait a minute. If they lost....that means we one the challenge!" oh.....I guess we do. Me and a few other team members started cheering.
"Wow there, hold horses guys. That wasn't the challenge!" wait....it wasn't!
"What did he just say?" I often wonder the same thing, gothie. Chris then walked over the giant curtin, (was that there yesterday?) and smirked.
"Who's hungry?" Chris asked, the curtin opening to reveal a long tabel with tons of delicious looking food placed on it. Tons of the campers - definantly including Owen - became wide eyed, and even my mouth started to water. "Okay guys, have at it." don't need to tell me twice! Of course, everyone else was just as hungry - maybe even more. Everyone crowded around the tabel, and started chowing down. Since I was one of the smallest here, I was basicaly shoved out of the line at the tabel. I then went into a corner of the mess hall, and, in a few seconds, Katie came over to join me.
"Hey." Katie greeted akwardly.
"Uh...hi?" why are you even talking to me?
"So....are you, like, okay? I saw you were carried in, and....and I wanted to make sure your okay." wait....is she.....concerned about me? No, she can't be.
"Thanks...I guess. Why are you even concerned in the least about me? We're on diffrent teams now, remember?" yeah, you made a big deal over not bring with your clone. Katie then got a really deep blush, and turned her gaze to the tiled floor of the mess hall.
"I...just....wanted to make sure you were...okay." sure you did.
"Well...thanks for caring, but I really don't need your sympathy." so please take it somewhere else. Katie nodded her head slightly, and quickly ran off to join her own team. As soon as she did, Cody came in her place - bringing two plates of food.
"Hey dude, I thought you'd might like some real food." Cody greeted, handing me one of the two plates.
"Thanks, I'm starving! I haven't eaten a thing since we came here!" seriously, I think I've lost ten pounds on this show already.
"So, what are we waiting for? Lets dig in!" I'm with you there, buddy. We then ate the rest of the time in silence. I have to say, I love the feeling of having my stomach filled. After everyone was finished, there was absoulutly nothing left of the huge buffet that was put out for us. All the people who ate absered amounts of food were groaning in pain, and looked like they were ready to fall asleep on the floor. Honetsly, I probably would've fell asleep in the corner if Chris hadn't jumped on the tabel, and started to speak through the mega-phone.
"Okay campers, time for part two of your challenge." oh, what a joy to be us right now.
"I thought eating was the second part." nah, thats to easy. They probably poisined the food, and the next part of the challenge is finding the antidote. That makes for way more exciting TV, you know?
"What more do you want from us?" does our blood, skin, and soul count?
"Weird goth girl is right." sure she is Heather. "Haven't we been through enough?" um...do you really want him to answer that?
"Um, let me think about that......NO!" well, that comes as a complete shock. "It's time for: the Awake-a-thon!" oh, your just an evil little man, aren't you?
"The what-a-thon?" again, is he stuttering?
"Don't worry, this is an easy one!" yeah, for you it is. "The team with the last camper standing wins invincibility." yeah mean, if we win, we get to stay a whole nother week at this dump? Oh the exitment.
"So, what yous saying is the Twenty-K run and the turkey eating frenzy, were part of your evil plan to make it harder for us to stay awake?" look whos finaly catching on!
"Thats right Gwen!"
"Man he's good." eh, I've seen better.
"MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!" Chris shouted, indecating we all needed to go outside. Everyone started to slowly move out of the mess hall.
"So, how long do think it'll be before everyone's out cold?" Cody asked me.
"'Bout a hour, give-or-take" then Owen walked past us with a very tired expression, and a stream of drool on his face. "Maybe less." like, five minutes. Everyone headed to the fire pit, and we all just sat around. Even after twelve hours, everyone was still wide awake. Including Owen - who I was sure would fall asleep in the first hour.
"We are now twelve hour in with all twenty-one campers still wide awake." well, I wouldn't say wide awake. In fact, the only truly awake on seemed to be Owen - who was doing a weird sort of hyper-ish dance.
"Wo-ho! Stay awake for twelve hours? I can do that in my sleep! Wo-ho!" yeah, but thats the exact oppisite of what you want to do there, big guy. All of a suden, Owen stopped doing his dance, and had a happy expression engraved onto his face. I was about to ask - out of curiosity - what was wrong, but then Owen fell backwards and he was fast asleep. That means we're already down a man.
"Well, he lasted a lot longer than I thought." I whispered to Cody.
"I know. So, who do you thinks going to sleep next?" he whispered back.
"Well...if I had to pick....it'd probably be the goth." I then looked over, and noticed said goth and a certian punk were making googly eyes at eachother from across the camp. Seriously, go get a room and leave the rest of us out of your love fest!
"Why her?" do I need a reason for everything?
"I don't know, it was just a guess." so quiet questioning it! Everybody then seemed to go into a momentary minute of silence. Then, out of the blue, Lindsey comes to the begining of the fire pit, and got down to all fours. She then somehow manedged to get herself into a handstand, and she looked like she was trying to keep it.
"What are you doing?" finally, someone asked it!
"Trying to get...the blood to...rush to my head." again, Im not supried in the least. "I think it's working!"
"Can I try?" why would you ever want to?
"Sure!" stupidity travels in numbers, I suppose. As soon as Beth got into the same position as Lindsey, Heather called them over to talk to them. The two dim-wits got out of the position, and quickly went over to where Heather was standing.
'Whatever shes thinking up, it can't possibly be good.' I thought, looking intensly over to where the three girls were chatting.
"Hey, Noah...what happend to you during the run?" Cody asked, getting my full attention.
"Oh...well, I just tripped, hit my chin, and got knocked out alright?" I mean, if you got hit on the chin hard enough, you'd get knocked out too.
"Oh...okay. So....are you planning to fall asleep soon?" Cody asked.
"Eh, I don't know. I'm not exctly tired, but...a nice long nap wouldn't hurt either." in fact, a long nap sound pretty decent right about now.
"Please stay up Noah." Cody whined. "If you go to sleep, I won't have anyone to talk to." that'd be a crime, wouldn't it? I looked over, and I realized he was giving me the same puppy-dog look he was giving me the night earlier. I felt my heart start to race, and I knew I was going to be staying up for a bit.
"Fine, I'll try and stay up with you." I sighed. Cody gave a smile of victory, and we sorta fell back into silence again.
"I'm going to the bathroom." thanks for the information there, honey. Eva headed off to the rest room, and when she did, her MP3 player dropped out of her pocket, and she didn't even notice.
'Maybe I should return it to her.... Nah, she'll see it on the way back.' I though, giving a very loud yawn. 'Man, I must be more tired than I thought.' I then rested my hand on my chin, and my eyes started feling very heavy.
"Come on man, don't fall asleep yet!" Cody whined, playfuly shaking me awake.
"Okay, okay, I'm not falling asleep yet." so please quit shaking me. Cody gave another triomphant smile, and stopped shaking me.
"So, Noah, tell me about yourself." hes joking, right?
"Excuse me?" I asked with amusmet.
"You heard me, I wanna get to know you better. Where you come from, what your likes and dislikes are, what books you prefer reading, and stuff like that." why would he want to know that crap?
"Why would you want to know that crap about me?" are you a stalker or something?
"Well...since were on the same team....I thought we could form a friendship thing or something." hes serious with this, isn't he? "I'd really like to get to know you, but...if you don't want me to know you, I'll just drop it. I understand if you don't wanna be friends, either." god, know I seem like the bad guy.
"Listen, it's not that I don't wanna be friends, it's just that....I've never really told anyone about my background before" not even my best friend truly knows me.
"Oh...well, I'd really like to know." god, why is this so important to him?
"Look...maybe once I've got to know you a bit better, I'll tell you about myself, but for know....I wanna keep me to me, okay?"
"Well...alright, but I'm gonna figure you out one way or another, Noah." I actually look forward to seeing you try.
"Good luck there, honey." your gonna need it. I then let out a loud yawn, and I close my eyes. When I opened them again, I suddenly realized I was no longer at camp wawanakwa.
I looked around and realized...I was at the back at my school from when I was five. All kinds of memorys of being picked on and pushed around came flooding back to me. The memorys became to over-powering, and I curled into a ball to sheild myself from them - to no avail of course.
Then, I felt that someone might be standing over me. I looked up, and saw the smiling face of Cody offering me his hand. I felt myself blush, and all the bad memories faded away. I greatfully took his hand, and I got hepled up. Cody gave me a smile, and before I knew what was happening, he was leading me to all the places I used to go to as a child. We went to the an amusment park that had been closed since I was eight, a great little resteraunt that had gone bankrupt and turned into a addiction clinic when I was ten, and, finaly, the park me and my family used to go to before it was leveled to make way for a sports center. We both laid out on a hill, and Cody snuggled up to me as we looked up to the sky.
Me and Cody looked into eachothers eyes, and I realized that....I did love him. I then closed my eyes, and leaned in to kiss him. When our lips meet, I had a moment of bliss, and then I realized....something about kissing Cody was a bit odd. He wasn't kissing back, and I couldn't feel the moisture of his lips.
'This isn't right.' I thought as I continued to kiss Cody. My eyes fluttered open, and...I found that I was actually kissing Cody, but on the ear, not the lips. Wait...WHAT?! I then started screaming, and scrambled to my feet. Cody did the same, and we both ran in oppisite directions of the camp.
'What did I just do!' I thought as I ran deep into the woods. 'I...I had a dream I was kissing Cody....and I was actually kissing him in real life!' I then realized I had wound up back on the beach once again. I then slinked to the rock I sat on yesterday, and ploped down on it. 'Cody probably hates me now! I...I DONT love him!' I told myself in my mind.
So....if I didn't love him.......why did dream of kissing him?
*Cody's P.O.V.*
I ran to the bathroom, and immediantly started washing the ear Noah kissed with the nearest bar of soup I could find.
'I...I can't believe he kissed me!' I thought as I scrubed my ear hard and forcefully. 'I....I actualy wanted to be his friend!' I then put the bar of soap down, and stared at myself in the mirror for what seemed to be hours. 'I....I don't know what to think. I mean....I want to be his friend, but......I don't like him that way....right? I then suddenly flashed back to a few minutes before Noah started screaming.
I was sleeping peacefully, and I was having this wonderful dream Gwen was kissing me on the ear. As I slowly half woke up, I realized that someone was actually kissing my ear. I slowly opened my eyes to find that it was a certian know-it-all kissing my ear. I sleepily smiled, and was about to lean into his touch when Noah started screaming, and I fully woke up. So...didn't that technically mean I liked him kissing me?
I the shook my head, and slaped myself.
"No, I.....I was half asleep! It.....it doesn't count.....right?!" I then realized that I was being hypicritical. Noah was probably just dreaming about kissing a girl, and accidentaly wound up kissing me instead. A wave of guilt washed over me, and I siged heavily. "I need to talk to him." I mumbled out loud. I then ran out of the bathroom, and I instantly knew where to go.
I ran down a seires of twisted paths, and leaves that finally lead way to the beach. I then ran down the beach a bit, and found him siting on the rock he had sat on the day previous. I slowly approuched him, and took a seat right beside him on the rock.
"So....did you sleep well last night?" you had to have one heck of a dream. He just gave me a confused look, and stared out into the lake.
"I know you probably hate now Cody, so you can just leave, okay?" are we seriously doing this again?
"Look, I don't hate you alright? It was just a huge mistake, and.....I don't think it should keep us from becoming friends." that, and I'd be a hypacrit if I did hate you. "Besides, I'm still determined to find out about you." Noah then did something I haven't seen him do much on this island, he smiled a bit.
"So...you seriously still wanna be friends?" he asked, sound both relieved and bit confused.
"Of course! I mean, it was only a accident, right? Like I always say: forgive and forget." okay...that sounded almost flirty. Noah's small smile got wider, and I thought that - for a second - Noah looked beautiful.
"Thanks, I'm glad you understand that it was only an accident. So....wanna go see if anyone's won yet?" why not? I nodded my head, and we both went back to the camp grounds. We got back just in time to Chris announce Gwen - who was fast asleep on the ground - was the winner of todays challange.
"And you said she'd fall asleep earlier." I whispered teasingly to Noah, nudging him playfully with my elbow. Noah once again smiled, and rolled his eyes.
"Whatever. Lets just grab a shower and go to bed. I'm still extreamly tired." now that you mention it....sleeping actualy sounds really good right now.
"That actually sounds really good." I replied. We then both went to the bathroom, took a shower, (in separate stales of course) and went staight to bed. Despite the fact I was totaly worn out, sleep wouldn't give me it's grace. I couldn't stop thinking about Noah's smile, and how it looked beautiful in every aspect of the word.
But....I like girls.......right?

Once it starts, I might be slow on updating this, but....I promise I will. Anyway, I hope you liked this part! The drama keeps rolling next episode! >3

______________________________________________________________________________
*Noah's P.O.V.*
We were all sleeping peacefully until Chris decided to be a major dick, and wake everyone up via mega-phone and blow horn.
"OW! It's seven in the morning! Do I look like a farmer to you?" trust me honey, if you were a farmer, you would've been up way before seven-o-clock in the morning. All the boys in the cabin - except me and Cody - groaned, and slowly got out of bed and got dressed - basically throwing their clothes over their pj's for the time being. I saw that everyone had these super tired expressions. Seriously, did no one sleep last night? Of course, much to my plesure, Justin's was the worst. His hair was all madded, and he had dark bags under his eyes.
"Looks like beauty takes mornings off, huh Justin?" because it has sure left you. Justin gave me an angry glare, and stummbled tiredly out of the cabin. I chuckled slightly, and then got out of bed. Hey, might as well start the day, right?
"So, what do you have agaist Justin?" Cody asked sleepily as he hopped off of the top bunk. His hair was madded like Justins, but...the way he wore it, it could actually looked, dare I say...cute. Like, in a puppy dog sort of way. Not like...beautiful cute, or anything like that.
"Well, lets just say we had a...disagrement." and thats just putting it lightly.
"Oh...well thats kind of a bummer." yeah, sure it is. I then finished getting dressed, and headed out of the cabin with Owen - who had also had finished dressing. As the other team passed, I noticed that the home-schooled wasn't there, so he must've gotten the boot last night. Eh, can't really say I'm suprised. Courtney probably hated Ezekiel after he told my team her eye was getting worse. She probably voted for him, and convinced everyone else to vote him out as well. We then finaly arived at the main area to see Chris waiting for us.
"Morning!" piss off. "Hope you slept well." sure you do.
"Hi Chris!" Heather greeted, sounding very peepy. "You look really buff in those shorts." sure he does, and I'm the President of the United States.
"I know." whatever helps you sleep at night, dude "Okay, I hope your all ready, next challenge begins, in one minute!" great. It's not even nine yet, and I'm my day has already been ruined by Chris.
"Oh, excuse me, but I don't know if that's enough time to eat breakfast." your kidding, right?
"Oh, you'll get breakfast Owen." sure he will. " Right after you complete your twenty colometer run around the lake!" oh, you've got to be joking.
"Oh, so your funny now?" the Russian-Canadian teen asked, walking up to Chris. "You know what I think would be funny?" she then reared back her fist, and it actually looked like she was going to punch him. Okay, I don't know who she is, but I'm liking this girl a bit more now. of course, Duncan and Geoff stopped her before she could lay a finger on him.
"Eva, try to control your temper!" Courtney snapped, trying to keep it a whisper. Hey, if shes gonna punch Chris, I say let her go for it.
"Your enjoying this, aren't you?!" probably just a smidge.
"A little." knew it. "You have thrity seconds!" great to know. Duncan and Geoff finaly let go of Eva, and she stomped angrly to the starting line. The rest of us walked to the starting line, and along the way, Cody walked beside me.
"So...what do you think her problem is?" Cody whispered to me, quickly pointing at Eva.
"I don't know. Either she ran out of vadica, or she hasn't had her daily smoke yet." then again, she could always just be an angry person. Cody gave a snicker of amusment, and I felt tons of butterflys enter my stomach. After everyone made it to the starting line, Chris then got to the side of us, and waited till we were quiet.
"Okay runners, on your mark...get set...GO!" and their off. Cody bolted out of the starting line with great speed, and I felt a sudden wanting to chase him. I then started running to keep up with the speedy brunet, but to no success. Even though I didn't catch up to Cody right away, I was suprised of how well I was doing. I passed a lot of the people who had left first, and thought I could even see Cody once or twice. Of course, when I passed Heather, I couldn't help but make an effort to slow down and bump into her. Nothing personal, I just don't really like her.
"Do you mind?" no, not at all. I then picked up pace again, and continued my search for Cody. You know...so we could come in at the same time. After a minute of solid running and an announcment from Chris, I finaly cought up to Cody - who had switched from a run to a walk. I then came up beside him, and switches to a walk as well.
"Oh...hey dude." Cody greeted, gasping for air a bit.
"Hey there Codester. I never knew you could run that fast." yeah do you take illegal drugs or something?
"I've always been quick on my feet. Being the littlest teen in my whole neighbor hood, I gotta find some way to out run the bigger kids." thats true. I guess if I was the shortest kid on my block, I'd have to run faster too. Then, a whole group of people ran passed us, and Cody got a playful smirk. "So, last one back to camp's a rotten egg!" Cody exclaimed. Before I could answer, Cody switched back to a run.
'No fair! You gotta head start!" I'm still gonna beat you though. I then raced after Cody. I followed his every turn and I was actually keeping a good pace with him. As I ran faster, I noticed it was a little harder for me to breath. I kept going, but pretty soon I was panting heavily. 'Arent forests supposed to have more air?' I thought bitterly, still tring to keep pace with Cody. Then, as we turned this one corner, I triped over a giant root that was sticking out of the ground.
I landed straight on my chest, and whatever air I had left in me was knocked out. I then started to black out - due to the fact I had also hit my chin pretty good on the landing. As I did, I had one last concious thought: I hope Cody makes it back okay.
Then everything went black.
*Cody's POV*
'I'm SO gonna win!' I though as I approuched the camp's mess hall. I bursted through the doors, and the campers who had already shown up all turned toward me."HA! I knew I'd win dude!" I exclaimed triumphantly, looking behind me expecting to see Noah trailing in not to far behind me. Of course, when I looked behind me...their was nobody there.
"Who are you talking to, dude?" Trent asked, raising an eye brow in confusion.
"Well, Noah and I were having a race you see, and I was sure he would be coming in right after me." maybe I should go look for him...
"You were racing Noah?" Gwen asked, sounding very suprised. "Look, not trying to be rude or anything, but Noah dosn't seem like the physical type - let alone be into running." well...she does have a point there. "He probably just fell behind, and is making his way back to camp now."
"You know...your probably right! Your smart, and I think people need to start listening to you." plus, your a total hottie!
"Um....thanks." thanks! Oh, she's SO into me! I nodded my head slightly, and took a seat right next to Gwen. She gave me a look that said: did-you-really-just-sit next-to-me, and stood up.
"Don't sit next to me." whatever you say baby. She then stomped off, and joined the goor for nothing punk - Duncan - on the floor at the end of the ness hall. Hey, if she wants to be in denial of liking me, let her. She'll come around soon enough. I then remembered what I was worrying about earlier, and I turned my full attention toward the mess hall's door. The minutes seem to drag on, and soon, it had been a whole half-hour.
'Where is he?' I wondered, keeping my eyes locked on the mess hall door. I started to get jittery, and my mind kept brining up the posibility he was hurt. 'He can't be hurt.' I reasured myself. 'I mean.....it's just a little run in the woods...right? What could've happened to him?' except a bear attack, that is.
Wait...when did I start worrying about Noah so much?
*Noah's P.O.V.*
'Uh.......what happened?' I wondered as my body slowly started to come back into contiousness. 'How...how long have I been out? Oh god, CODY! He's probably worried sick!' I tried to get up, but my body refused to do it. I then tried to at least open my eyes, but...my body refused to do that as well. 'This is just perfect! I'm probably gonna die here now! I may starve....maybe get eaten by a bear...or even-'
"HOLY RICE AND BEANS! Are you okay Noah?" wait....Owen? "Noah...Noah....NOAH, ANSWER ME!" I'd love to, but ....it seems I'm unable. Owen then ran over to me, and started shaking me widley. "PLEASE NOAH! YOU HAVE TO ANSWER ME!!!!" yeah, the best way for me to magicaly wake and talk to you is by shaking me.
"What's....wrong.....with......string bean?" wait, is that....Lashawna?! And when did she start calling me string bean?
"I DON'T KNOW! I JUST FOUND HIM LIKE THIS! HE'S NOT WAKING UP, AND...And.....and....." the over-wieght Canadian then broke into heavy sobs, and started crushing me in a death hug. Can't....breath....need...air! I manedged to make a gasping noise, and it thankfully didn't go un-noticed by Owen. "HOLY HAMS, HES ALIVE!" no duh genious. "I HAVE TO GET HIM TO THE MESS HALL, ASAP!" Owen then put me over his shoulder, and started running to the mess hall.
'Note to self: remember to black-out around Owen because you'll get carried for free.' I thought, smirking ever-so-slightly. In minutes, we were back at camp, and Owen was bursting through the mess hall doors.
"Clear a tabel, STAT!" Owen shouted as the mess hall doors flew open. I then imagined the expressions on everybodys face, and, I had to admit, I was a smidge embarresed. Owen then threw me down onto a tabel, and started performing the chest pumping part of CPR. I actually felt my brething and heart-rate going back to normal.
"Ugh, WE MADE IT!" Lashawna exclaimed as Ownen continued to pump my chest.
"What took you so long?" Courtney asked someone on the other side of the room. "We just lost the challenge!" wait....they did?
"I think....I'm having....heart-pelpetations." (A/N: no idea if I spelled it right....) great to know, super-nerd. Thanks to Owen, I was finaly able to start opening my eyes. All the people gathered around me got relieved expressions.
"Hey, wait a minute. If they lost....that means we one the challenge!" oh.....I guess we do. Me and a few other team members started cheering.
"Wow there, hold horses guys. That wasn't the challenge!" wait....it wasn't!
"What did he just say?" I often wonder the same thing, gothie. Chris then walked over the giant curtin, (was that there yesterday?) and smirked.
"Who's hungry?" Chris asked, the curtin opening to reveal a long tabel with tons of delicious looking food placed on it. Tons of the campers - definantly including Owen - became wide eyed, and even my mouth started to water. "Okay guys, have at it." don't need to tell me twice! Of course, everyone else was just as hungry - maybe even more. Everyone crowded around the tabel, and started chowing down. Since I was one of the smallest here, I was basicaly shoved out of the line at the tabel. I then went into a corner of the mess hall, and, in a few seconds, Katie came over to join me.
"Hey." Katie greeted akwardly.
"Uh...hi?" why are you even talking to me?
"So....are you, like, okay? I saw you were carried in, and....and I wanted to make sure your okay." wait....is she.....concerned about me? No, she can't be.
"Thanks...I guess. Why are you even concerned in the least about me? We're on diffrent teams now, remember?" yeah, you made a big deal over not bring with your clone. Katie then got a really deep blush, and turned her gaze to the tiled floor of the mess hall.
"I...just....wanted to make sure you were...okay." sure you did.
"Well...thanks for caring, but I really don't need your sympathy." so please take it somewhere else. Katie nodded her head slightly, and quickly ran off to join her own team. As soon as she did, Cody came in her place - bringing two plates of food.
"Hey dude, I thought you'd might like some real food." Cody greeted, handing me one of the two plates.
"Thanks, I'm starving! I haven't eaten a thing since we came here!" seriously, I think I've lost ten pounds on this show already.
"So, what are we waiting for? Lets dig in!" I'm with you there, buddy. We then ate the rest of the time in silence. I have to say, I love the feeling of having my stomach filled. After everyone was finished, there was absoulutly nothing left of the huge buffet that was put out for us. All the people who ate absered amounts of food were groaning in pain, and looked like they were ready to fall asleep on the floor. Honetsly, I probably would've fell asleep in the corner if Chris hadn't jumped on the tabel, and started to speak through the mega-phone.
"Okay campers, time for part two of your challenge." oh, what a joy to be us right now.
"I thought eating was the second part." nah, thats to easy. They probably poisined the food, and the next part of the challenge is finding the antidote. That makes for way more exciting TV, you know?
"What more do you want from us?" does our blood, skin, and soul count?
"Weird goth girl is right." sure she is Heather. "Haven't we been through enough?" um...do you really want him to answer that?
"Um, let me think about that......NO!" well, that comes as a complete shock. "It's time for: the Awake-a-thon!" oh, your just an evil little man, aren't you?
"The what-a-thon?" again, is he stuttering?
"Don't worry, this is an easy one!" yeah, for you it is. "The team with the last camper standing wins invincibility." yeah mean, if we win, we get to stay a whole nother week at this dump? Oh the exitment.
"So, what yous saying is the Twenty-K run and the turkey eating frenzy, were part of your evil plan to make it harder for us to stay awake?" look whos finaly catching on!
"Thats right Gwen!"
"Man he's good." eh, I've seen better.
"MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!" Chris shouted, indecating we all needed to go outside. Everyone started to slowly move out of the mess hall.
"So, how long do think it'll be before everyone's out cold?" Cody asked me.
"'Bout a hour, give-or-take" then Owen walked past us with a very tired expression, and a stream of drool on his face. "Maybe less." like, five minutes. Everyone headed to the fire pit, and we all just sat around. Even after twelve hours, everyone was still wide awake. Including Owen - who I was sure would fall asleep in the first hour.
"We are now twelve hour in with all twenty-one campers still wide awake." well, I wouldn't say wide awake. In fact, the only truly awake on seemed to be Owen - who was doing a weird sort of hyper-ish dance.
"Wo-ho! Stay awake for twelve hours? I can do that in my sleep! Wo-ho!" yeah, but thats the exact oppisite of what you want to do there, big guy. All of a suden, Owen stopped doing his dance, and had a happy expression engraved onto his face. I was about to ask - out of curiosity - what was wrong, but then Owen fell backwards and he was fast asleep. That means we're already down a man.
"Well, he lasted a lot longer than I thought." I whispered to Cody.
"I know. So, who do you thinks going to sleep next?" he whispered back.
"Well...if I had to pick....it'd probably be the goth." I then looked over, and noticed said goth and a certian punk were making googly eyes at eachother from across the camp. Seriously, go get a room and leave the rest of us out of your love fest!
"Why her?" do I need a reason for everything?
"I don't know, it was just a guess." so quiet questioning it! Everybody then seemed to go into a momentary minute of silence. Then, out of the blue, Lindsey comes to the begining of the fire pit, and got down to all fours. She then somehow manedged to get herself into a handstand, and she looked like she was trying to keep it.
"What are you doing?" finally, someone asked it!
"Trying to get...the blood to...rush to my head." again, Im not supried in the least. "I think it's working!"
"Can I try?" why would you ever want to?
"Sure!" stupidity travels in numbers, I suppose. As soon as Beth got into the same position as Lindsey, Heather called them over to talk to them. The two dim-wits got out of the position, and quickly went over to where Heather was standing.
'Whatever shes thinking up, it can't possibly be good.' I thought, looking intensly over to where the three girls were chatting.
"Hey, Noah...what happend to you during the run?" Cody asked, getting my full attention.
"Oh...well, I just tripped, hit my chin, and got knocked out alright?" I mean, if you got hit on the chin hard enough, you'd get knocked out too.
"Oh...okay. So....are you planning to fall asleep soon?" Cody asked.
"Eh, I don't know. I'm not exctly tired, but...a nice long nap wouldn't hurt either." in fact, a long nap sound pretty decent right about now.
"Please stay up Noah." Cody whined. "If you go to sleep, I won't have anyone to talk to." that'd be a crime, wouldn't it? I looked over, and I realized he was giving me the same puppy-dog look he was giving me the night earlier. I felt my heart start to race, and I knew I was going to be staying up for a bit.
"Fine, I'll try and stay up with you." I sighed. Cody gave a smile of victory, and we sorta fell back into silence again.
"I'm going to the bathroom." thanks for the information there, honey. Eva headed off to the rest room, and when she did, her MP3 player dropped out of her pocket, and she didn't even notice.
'Maybe I should return it to her.... Nah, she'll see it on the way back.' I though, giving a very loud yawn. 'Man, I must be more tired than I thought.' I then rested my hand on my chin, and my eyes started feling very heavy.
"Come on man, don't fall asleep yet!" Cody whined, playfuly shaking me awake.
"Okay, okay, I'm not falling asleep yet." so please quit shaking me. Cody gave another triomphant smile, and stopped shaking me.
"So, Noah, tell me about yourself." hes joking, right?
"Excuse me?" I asked with amusmet.
"You heard me, I wanna get to know you better. Where you come from, what your likes and dislikes are, what books you prefer reading, and stuff like that." why would he want to know that crap?
"Why would you want to know that crap about me?" are you a stalker or something?
"Well...since were on the same team....I thought we could form a friendship thing or something." hes serious with this, isn't he? "I'd really like to get to know you, but...if you don't want me to know you, I'll just drop it. I understand if you don't wanna be friends, either." god, know I seem like the bad guy.
"Listen, it's not that I don't wanna be friends, it's just that....I've never really told anyone about my background before" not even my best friend truly knows me.
"Oh...well, I'd really like to know." god, why is this so important to him?
"Look...maybe once I've got to know you a bit better, I'll tell you about myself, but for know....I wanna keep me to me, okay?"
"Well...alright, but I'm gonna figure you out one way or another, Noah." I actually look forward to seeing you try.
"Good luck there, honey." your gonna need it. I then let out a loud yawn, and I close my eyes. When I opened them again, I suddenly realized I was no longer at camp wawanakwa.
I looked around and realized...I was at the back at my school from when I was five. All kinds of memorys of being picked on and pushed around came flooding back to me. The memorys became to over-powering, and I curled into a ball to sheild myself from them - to no avail of course.
Then, I felt that someone might be standing over me. I looked up, and saw the smiling face of Cody offering me his hand. I felt myself blush, and all the bad memories faded away. I greatfully took his hand, and I got hepled up. Cody gave me a smile, and before I knew what was happening, he was leading me to all the places I used to go to as a child. We went to the an amusment park that had been closed since I was eight, a great little resteraunt that had gone bankrupt and turned into a addiction clinic when I was ten, and, finaly, the park me and my family used to go to before it was leveled to make way for a sports center. We both laid out on a hill, and Cody snuggled up to me as we looked up to the sky.
Me and Cody looked into eachothers eyes, and I realized that....I did love him. I then closed my eyes, and leaned in to kiss him. When our lips meet, I had a moment of bliss, and then I realized....something about kissing Cody was a bit odd. He wasn't kissing back, and I couldn't feel the moisture of his lips.
'This isn't right.' I thought as I continued to kiss Cody. My eyes fluttered open, and...I found that I was actually kissing Cody, but on the ear, not the lips. Wait...WHAT?! I then started screaming, and scrambled to my feet. Cody did the same, and we both ran in oppisite directions of the camp.
'What did I just do!' I thought as I ran deep into the woods. 'I...I had a dream I was kissing Cody....and I was actually kissing him in real life!' I then realized I had wound up back on the beach once again. I then slinked to the rock I sat on yesterday, and ploped down on it. 'Cody probably hates me now! I...I DONT love him!' I told myself in my mind.
So....if I didn't love him.......why did dream of kissing him?
*Cody's P.O.V.*
I ran to the bathroom, and immediantly started washing the ear Noah kissed with the nearest bar of soup I could find.
'I...I can't believe he kissed me!' I thought as I scrubed my ear hard and forcefully. 'I....I actualy wanted to be his friend!' I then put the bar of soap down, and stared at myself in the mirror for what seemed to be hours. 'I....I don't know what to think. I mean....I want to be his friend, but......I don't like him that way....right? I then suddenly flashed back to a few minutes before Noah started screaming.
I was sleeping peacefully, and I was having this wonderful dream Gwen was kissing me on the ear. As I slowly half woke up, I realized that someone was actually kissing my ear. I slowly opened my eyes to find that it was a certian know-it-all kissing my ear. I sleepily smiled, and was about to lean into his touch when Noah started screaming, and I fully woke up. So...didn't that technically mean I liked him kissing me?
I the shook my head, and slaped myself.
"No, I.....I was half asleep! It.....it doesn't count.....right?!" I then realized that I was being hypicritical. Noah was probably just dreaming about kissing a girl, and accidentaly wound up kissing me instead. A wave of guilt washed over me, and I siged heavily. "I need to talk to him." I mumbled out loud. I then ran out of the bathroom, and I instantly knew where to go.
I ran down a seires of twisted paths, and leaves that finally lead way to the beach. I then ran down the beach a bit, and found him siting on the rock he had sat on the day previous. I slowly approuched him, and took a seat right beside him on the rock.
"So....did you sleep well last night?" you had to have one heck of a dream. He just gave me a confused look, and stared out into the lake.
"I know you probably hate now Cody, so you can just leave, okay?" are we seriously doing this again?
"Look, I don't hate you alright? It was just a huge mistake, and.....I don't think it should keep us from becoming friends." that, and I'd be a hypacrit if I did hate you. "Besides, I'm still determined to find out about you." Noah then did something I haven't seen him do much on this island, he smiled a bit.
"So...you seriously still wanna be friends?" he asked, sound both relieved and bit confused.
"Of course! I mean, it was only a accident, right? Like I always say: forgive and forget." okay...that sounded almost flirty. Noah's small smile got wider, and I thought that - for a second - Noah looked beautiful.
"Thanks, I'm glad you understand that it was only an accident. So....wanna go see if anyone's won yet?" why not? I nodded my head, and we both went back to the camp grounds. We got back just in time to Chris announce Gwen - who was fast asleep on the ground - was the winner of todays challange.
"And you said she'd fall asleep earlier." I whispered teasingly to Noah, nudging him playfully with my elbow. Noah once again smiled, and rolled his eyes.
"Whatever. Lets just grab a shower and go to bed. I'm still extreamly tired." now that you mention it....sleeping actualy sounds really good right now.
"That actually sounds really good." I replied. We then both went to the bathroom, took a shower, (in separate stales of course) and went staight to bed. Despite the fact I was totaly worn out, sleep wouldn't give me it's grace. I couldn't stop thinking about Noah's smile, and how it looked beautiful in every aspect of the word.
But....I like girls.......right?
__________________________________________________________________________________
So, how was it?
So....I have no idea wheather to be ashamed or extreamly proud of this part. I'm really sorry I didn't update this sooner, but....schools coming up, and I've been running around to get stuff ready. Once it starts, I might be slow on updating this, but....I promise I will. Anyway, I hope you liked this part! The drama keeps rolling next episode! >3
