No ones pov

Noah doesn't make friends. It's his thing. He reads books, the others play stupid fantasy games-or whatever your average six year old does. He enjoys it, being alone. You know what he doesn't enjoy? When gap-toothed, hyperactive classmates try to talk to him.

'Hey Noah! Why so lonely?' Cody sings.

'Cody- it's what I like, go away.' Noah murmurs, concentrating on his book.

'But you're not playing tag with us! I want you to play, Noah!' The little boy whines. Ugh. Noah hates when they try to include him. Can't they see he just wants to read?!? 'I'm fine, go play tag.'

'Noah!!!' Cody protests, 'We're friends! Why don't you want to play with me?' The brunette boy pouts at him. Were they really friends? Noah was rude by nature, but he didn't want to make the boy feel sad.

Sighing, he says, 'Fine, you win. Let's go play.' This is greeted by a celebration from Cody. Phew- we wasn't mad. Slowly, he sets down his book and walks over to the game with Cody. He anxiously stares at the other kids (Eva, Izzy, Courtney, Duncan, Owen, Trent, Gwen and Bridgette) , and they did the same to him. But more questioning looks than worried.

'Since when does Noah play with us?' Duncan asks. No one actually knows the answer to that, because he never has. His reason is simple, having 8 siblings at home makes it hard to be alone. He can achieve that at school. Well, he could.

'Since now!! He's a changed boy, Duncan.' Cody yells, 'and he's it!!'

Noah stands awkwardly in the middle of everyone, as they all run about screaming. What does being 'it' mean? 'Do I just tap someone?' He wearily asks.

'YEAH!!OOH TAG ME!! IM A GREAT TAGGER.' Izzy- or whatever she decides her name is- screeches at Noah. He taps her, causing her to scream loudly and chase after Eva.

'Noah!' Cody says, holding his hand, 'Run with me! I'm super fast.' Noah looks down at their hands, feeling how warm Cody's were compared to his icy fingers. If he's gonna play with the other kids, he's gonna at least try to have some fun. 

Gripping Cody's hand tighter, he exclaims, 'Let's go!!!'

Noah has way more fun than he expected. For a starter, he never left Cody's side, even helping him out when he was tagger. The other kids were alright too. In Noah's opinion, they were all going to be narcissistic when they grow up anyway, not even one of them cared for the other ones. But Noah promised to himself that he was gonna be more positive this break, for Cody. Who apparently is his friend. Well, at least he can officially say he has a friend now.

***** present day*****

'See Cody, I did  join in with the class games.' Noah chuckles, laying down next to his boyfriend. They have been dating for nearly 2 years now, since they were 16. But they have been friends for longer, ever since that day 12 years ago. 

'Noah,' his boyfriend says, trying to sound stern, 'number one: that was once, you never joined us ever again, and two: why do you remember that so vividly? We were like six' 

'Well maybe I remember it so clearly because it's the day me and my boyfriend officially  became friends? Just I thought for you there, babe.' Noah casually says, trying not to grin at his cheesy response.

'Whatever.' Cody grins, leaning over to Noah to plant a tender and warm kiss upon his lips. 

Pulling away, he lays on his chest, and the boys continue to talk, like they have been for the past 12 years.
