COURTNEY'S AND NOAH'S POV

Courtney and Noah had already finished reading their books, now to get to know each other a little better they were playing a trivia game. Each one asked the other something about their life, what they like to do, etc...

"My turn, hm......What's your biggest fear?" the nerd asked the brunette who was moving her hands to create some wind due to the heat.
"Me ? fear ? "I have no fear Noah." the cit replied, smiling confidently.
"Of course and I'm Owen's best friend" Noah said ironically since he didn't believe her one bit, seconds later he spoke again. "Come on Courtney, you know this is between us and I won't tell anyone."

You could tell the brunette was lying, she was thoughtful and didn't know whether to listen to him. Minutes later she finally responded and asked seriously:

"Pinky promise?" raising her little finger.

"Pinky promise?" Oh really ? I'm only doing it because I really want to know...pinky promise" Noah responded, raising his little finger and wrapping it around the girl's finger.

"Well...you already know this but I'm terrified of green jello." The cit responded with a disgusted face when talking about green jello.
"Really?? Are you still afraid of green
jello?? That's ridiculous !! " Noah said laughing at the brunette.
"It's not ridiculous!! It's just that it's green...and gelatinous and...can we talk about something else?!" Courtney begged, starting to panic.
"Duncan has green hair and yet you dated him." the boy argued, looking at Courtney.

A great silence had been created.
Courtney could only look at Noah, she couldn't believe he mentioned Duncan. Minutes after the awkward silence she spoke and said: "Like I said...can we talk about something else?" The tanned girl demanded, looking at the ground playing with her rings.

Noah was feeling a little bad since he had made Courtney feel a little uncomfortable, so to change the subject and continue with the game he asked: "I'm sure that green jello is not your only fear but if you don't want to say it, that's fine.. We can do something else." the nerd expressed himself, looking at Courtney somewhat embarrassed.
"I'm fine, you're right. Green jello is not my only fear...Sometimes I think what it would be like if...people saw me the way I see myself. It's a complicated thing but I'm very afraid of that... people eventually seeing me the way I see myself. I know it's pathetic.

The brunette expressed herself, there was a change in her voice. As if she were sad. The boy was still processing what he had just heard, he always thought that Courtney was a villain, someone without feelings and heart and a bad person but all those negative thoughts about her disappeared instantly when he heard her express herself.

"Courtney... I'm so sorry, it's not pathetic, it's just a fear like all other fears. I'm also sorry if I made you feel bad about... Duncan..." Noah apologized to the brunette.
"It's okay Noah, it was nice to vent for once but remember, this stays between us."
"Like I said before, pinky promise."

GWEN'S AND SIERRA'S POV

"Sierra!! I'm not in love with Cody, I'd rather continue dating Duncan than be in love with Cody!!!" the girl with blue hair shouted defending herself.
