Noahs Perspective
3rd person

" Nothing here to care about. "

. . ★ . .

Cody had left Noahs house later that night, kinda just ignoring what had happened with Noah falling asleep on him. But the thing is, Noah couldn't stop thinking about him. The gap in his teeth, his messy yet soft hair, and his adorable laugh. Cody was everything to Noah. Cody cared about him. And if felt nice, that feeling, knowing that there is someone out there who cares. But a feeling Noah didn't like was being in love. He hated to admit but yea, he was in love with Cody.
Noah was in denial of it at first, but he kinda just learned to accept that fact that he loved Cody. Romantically. Loving someone hurts, but he had that small feeling, some hope that Cody liked, or even loved him back. But,
Sometimes it doesn't always work out.

. . ★ . .

Noah entered school, placing his stuff into his locker. He was all gleeful today, very happy. Why? Because he got to see Cody. The boy he adored.
Noah finished organizing his things and getting stuff her needed for class before he began to hurry down the hallways in lookout for Cody. Once he spotted the boy, he was about to wave to him, but, not with what he saw.
There he stood, watching Cody and Gwen giggle and be all touchy together. 'Now what the fuck was this?' he thought. Every-time he spotted these two together, Gwen always hated him. But here they are, flirting and touching each other. Like a couple. Noah froze in place, tears swelling in his eyes.
     Cody wants Gwen now. Again. Did Cody think Noah was weird? Did Cody think Noah was a baby for being sad and hesitant over bullying? Noah sniffled before quickly turning around and rushing over to bathrooms.
     He hurried into a stall, slamming and locking the door of it before leaning on the wall and putting his face into his hands.
      Why was he so confusing. Cody was. The mixed signals. Everything. And Noah thought Cody would like him back? Cody is possibly the straightest boy ever! He probably just let Noah lay on him cause he felt bad. But still, Noah couldn't help but let his heart shatter and shrivel up. This is why he hated loving because even when he has the slightest hope on anything, it dies down. Nothing was fair. Not for Noah. Everyone he see's gets what they want. Not him though. What he gets, is his heart stomped on. God, seeing Cody with Gwen made Noah feel like he got a knife stabbed right through his fragile fucking heart. He hated that too. He hated his sensitivity. How easy he can break. He hated himself. Hated himself for thinking Cody liked him back. It was bullshit. All of this was.

. . ★ . .

     The bell rang, sending kids to scatter out of the classroom and hurrying them to their bus. For the entire day, not once did he and Cody interact. But it was even weirder because, Cody didn't even notice Noah wasn't talking to him. Noah still saw him, but Cody didn't see Noah.
     Noah walked down the sidewalk to his house, hopping up the steps and entering his cozy home. He was instantly hit with the smell of grilled cheese,
     "Noah, dear, grilled cheese for dinner! Eat when you're ready, hun, kay?" His mom hummed. Noah looked at her with his tired eyes and nodded,
     "Uh, yea, okay," He said with a weak smile before hurrying up to his room.
      Noah flopped onto his bed before grabbing his phone and checking social media. He opened the group chat with most of his friends. Emma, Kitty, Alejandro, Heather, and Owen.

    Noah stared at his phone, his eyes watering up. He felt a warm tear fall down his cheek before powering off his phone. Noah sniffled, lifting his shirt up and covered his nose and down with it as tears rolled down his face. He curled up into a ball, throwing blankets over him as he silently sobbed.
     Just as he thought everything was getting better, God just had to turn it around. Why did everything happen to him. Why couldn't he just stop suffering at be happy.
     Why does Cody have to be such a bitch.
