-Reunion- (NOCO)

Part 9

-Noah's POV-

Why did I say that? It's not my fault..it just slipped out. My thoughts were interrupted by Cody's reply.

"Sure, I guess." I turned to look at him, he was looking down at his feet and rubbing the back of his neck, I stepped closer to him and grabbed his waist. I mean what else can I say we obviously made out. He tasted like candy.

Suddenly he pulled away, quite flustered, and looked up at me with a serious look.

"It's not gay because we have socks on." He huffed and turned around, was he being serious? We just made out and the first thing he says is that he has socks on so it isn't gay. Nice one Cody.

I rolled my eyes, we had been out for a few hours until we realized it was getting light out, and we were still in the forest. Cody said that we should get walking back and I agreed. The only thing is, we were pretty lost.

It must've been around midday when we got back, and everybody was around the campfire panicking, including Chris and Chef. They all turned to stare at me and Cody.

"WHERE WERE YOU GUYS? WE STARTED PANICKING!" Eva shouted at us loudly, Cody and I turned to look at eachother and shrugged. We agreed not to speak about the 'kiss', but then Izzy seemed like she had something to say.

"Oh! I saw them last night walking into the forest together! What happened in there? Why did you go at night?" Izzy started investigating us like a detective, everyone looked at us and laughed, especially Justin and Trent.

"Nothing happened." I gave Izzy a blank stare as Cody stood next to me, he seemed like he was worrying about it though.

-Cody's POV-

So I kissed Noah, but I would obviously be anxious of somebody figuring it out! Especially with the way Izzy was instigating us. Izzy stared into my eyes, squinting.

"Then why does Cody look so worried? Hm?" I looked at Noah, waiting for him to say something, but he was just staring into space. Was he seriously daydreaming?

"Like Noah said, nothing happened!" I exclaimed, looking away from Izzy. I looked at Noah, who was still staring into space with a blank look, and pulled his hair to stop his daydreaming.

"Ow! What was that for!" He rubbed his head and glared at me with an upset look plastered on his face. After a few minutes, Izzy finally stopped questioning us and started speaking to Eva again. Justin and Trent walked over to us.

"You know...it's okay if your gay...the closet's glass.." Trent said, with his hands on his hips. Noah and I slowly turned to look at eachother with a shocked look, and then back at Trent and Justin, who were both letting out a small snicker.

"Oh." Noah turned and strutted away. I wondered what he was doing, but I stayed and talked to Justin and Trent for a while.

-Noah's POV-

Maybe Trent was right, was I gay? I mean, I dated Emma, but it didn't really work out. We are still friends, but we don't talk much. Alot of people always say I look gay, act gay, sound gay and much more. But was I?

I'm also pretty sure I like Cody, I mean, why did I just blurt out the question 'wanna make out' god, that was so embarrassing. But he obviously wasn't, did he even like the kiss? Does he think I'm weird?
Why am I even thinking about all of this? And I soon realized that I did like Cody. That stupid geek, he's so scrawny and skinny, but why do I like him so much?

After so long too, it's like I'm in some shitty fast-paced romance story. Why did it happen so quickly? Being in love with a geek like him? That idiot, I hate him so much, I hate him! I repeated this to myself for a while, until I gained up the courage to go back to the campfire with everybody else.

As I got back, Chris announced our next challenge would be tomorrow, so we had to get some sleep. None of us went to bed yet though, it was still quite light out, so we all sat around the campfire and chatted. It was boring, so I decided to read a book. Cody peeked over my shoulder and read with me, so I slowed down so he could read.

-Cody's POV-

The things everyone was talking about was boring and about the next challenge, so I began reading Noah's book, Geoff started speaking to me so we chatted for a while. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted Sierra staring at Noah with a jealous and disgusted look. I rolled my eyes and kept speaking.

"AAGGHH I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE!" everybody turned to stare at Sierra yelling, everyone had figured out she had became nothing but a jealous bitch, so nobody was really surprised. She stomped over to Noah, shoved him off the bench and bursted into the cabin, slamming the door behind her.

"Noah? Are you alright?" I stood up and walked over to him, holding my hand out for him. He stared at it and went red, so I put it away. I didn't wanna make him angry or anything, he got up himself and sat back down, although, I did notice him looking at me the whole time.
I wonder what that was about?
