Codys Perspective
3rd person

" I wanted to be your woman, I wanted to be your man. "

. . ★ . .

Cody sighed, placing his phone down after hearing the news from Emma that Noah didn't really say much on how he was feeling.
Cody was simply trying to help, why won't Noah accept it? He just wants to know whats wrong, whats going on with his newly considered friend. But it seems Noah preferred not to share his life problems with others. And for what reason?
Cody murmured to himself before flopping onto his side, throwing a heavy blanket over himself. He turned back around, grabbing his phone and headphones. He plugged his headphones in before playing music. Weezer, Lana Del Rey, The Smiths, etc.
He sat in the silence of the room, but in the loudness of his music, calmly humming with the tune of whatever song was playing. Cody was soon drifting off to sleep, stopping himself from actually falling asleep each time. Cody didn't like naps. He didn't enjoy waking up feeling like shit. Weren't they supposed to get you well rested? No, not for Cody. He always woke up confused on what year it is, covered in sweat, and his mouth dry as fuck. So that's why he dislikes naps, the waking up part at least.
     Cody sighed, music still sounding into his ears.  His mind then stopped, then went back to working, but only revolving around one thing. Noah. Once again.
    He still wanted to know what was up with him... why he suddenly had an outburst and ran off twice. Its not like him. at all. None of this behavior is like Noah. And only for the few weeks Cody had actually got to know the guy, he knew he was acting weird and strange. He also had gotten confirmation from Emma that he's been acting odd. I mean, he's gotten weirder ever since he and Noah almost kissed... but before that even, he was always so... nervous. Well, Cody too. Whenever he was around Noah, he felt nervous. He always got chills. But, Cody didn't try and deny anything. He, himself, knew he liked Noah. Romantically. But that slightly made Cody feel guilty, only giving him more chills. He felt guilty for liking another guy. Why? He doesn't know. No one does.
     Cody rolled over, adjusting himself to get into a more comfortable position, fidgeting with the wires of his headphones. He tried his hardest to stop thinking about Noah, and to think about more current things. Like how the song Chemtrails Over The Country Club was playing on his phone. Cody didn't seem like the type to actually like Lana Del Rey, but he did like her. He enjoyed her music a lot. It always had a comforting sensation to it.
     Cody obviously failed to actually listen to the music, but he didn't fail to listen to his mind that was nibbling at him, telling him to think about Noah. Everything Noah. He didn't wanna think about Noah, but everything in his body made him. It was hell. He hated the feeling of liking someone. Of having someone occupy everything about you. And most importantly, occupy your thoughts and brain. An area that should only be limited to you and you only. No one else.
     Cody squeaked very quietly when a sudden surge of chills ran up his spine, his body twitching. He had caught himself thinking about Noah. Way too much. And when he does, he usually gets chills like said earlier. It was just a thing that always happened. Like when he used to have a crush on Gwen, he would always get chills thinking about her. And thats how he knew he was in love. And now, its the same with Noah. Fucking Noah. Cody narrowed his eyes before slapping his face into his hands and holding his heads,
     "I hate you, Noah," He mumbled to himself. He didn't hate Noah, no! Of course not. He just hated the fact that the boy had taken over his brain. That's what annoyed him. A lot.
