Cody's parents didn't exactly care for him much. His mother was constantly watching her shitty soap operas or sleeping, and his father would stay out and come home at 3 AM. So when he found out about a new reality TV show starring twenty two selected teenagers, he felt inclined to audition. He set up his camera and filmed in his rusty old garage. He somehow managed to get in.

Except for over the course of the next two weeks, Cody and Noah had a thing. Cody meeting Noah was the first thing that made him question his sexuality. Noah was openly gay at the time, but Cody presented himself as straight. Of course, he pretended to like Gwen to please the audience. He wasn't stupid. And him and Noah would randomly meet in the forest and talk for hours. One day, Noah asked Cody why he pretended to like Gwen so much. After all, he wasn't even straight. Cody says it's for the ratings, and Noah gets angry. Angry that Cody wouldn't even have the dignity to admit his feelings for Noah. That he was just some "dirty little secret" kept hidden away from the rest of the world. Cody didn't know what to do. He went too far with the Gwen thing and fucked up. Of course, he didn't want Gwen. He wanted to stay up late at night playing video games and cuddling with Noah, and he wanted to kiss him senseless when the cabins were empty. But it was too late now. Noah decided to end it for good, and told Cody that he would "reconsider if he wasn't just a boy toy to play with when Gwen wasn't around".

After a while, after they both got eliminated, Cody started to notice something. The way Noah played with his hair when Trent was around. The way he stared down at his feet. The way Noah looked at him- Cody knew that look too well. It was the look Noah used to give him. He started falling for Trent. For the first time, Cody felt jealousy. Jealous that he ruined his only chance at love by being ashamed of his own sexuality. Cody knew he was bisexual for too long, it was only now that he realized keeping it hidden would destroy his life. He saw Noah getting more infatuated with Trent, and his stomach filled with rage.

So when Trent decided to obsess over Gwen, Cody could see how Noah's heart dropped. He hasn't even spoken to the boy in over a week, and yet he, once again, knew the look in Noah's eyes too well. It was the same look Noah gave Cody when HE started to obsess over Gwen. Pure desperation, maybe even with a little jealousy- it was too much for Cody to handle. He couldn't stand having Noah's heart broken twice.

After all, HE was the only one who wanted Noah. He loved the sarcastic remarks Noah made to make him laugh, and he loved the way Noah went on and on about how great the metaphors in this book were, or how interesting the invention of the recharging car battery was, or how to program an entire functioning game in under half an hour on javascript. He thought it was adorable how Noah ruffled his hair while anxious, or the way Noah bit his nails when getting to a tense part in a book. He had to do something, even if it meant his homophobic parents disowning him for good.

Cody knew that Chris kept hidden cameras around at the Playas. He'd seen them before, floating around in trees or on the side of buildings. He remembered one kept hidden on the side of the main building- it was infamous for one thing. Sometimes, the ex-contestants went on rants in front of it to let off some steam. He'd seen Courtney present a whole three-point persuasive speech about how Harold deserved to be jailed, right then and there for the camera. He'd also seen Trent ramble on about his Gwen issues in front of it. He wasn't sure if Chris ever aired them. He hoped Chris aired this one.

That night, Cody snuck out. He propped himself up in front of the camera. He stared right into the blinking red dot.

He decided, so what if his parents hate him? They already barely spoke to him. He'd be off to university soon, anyways. And plus, he had nothing to fear. Noah was the first crush Cody actually WANTED to spend the rest of his life with.

He opened his mouth and spoke. He wasn't sure if it was to get this off his chest, or if it was because he wanted someone, just someone to hear.

"Noah, wherever you are, I hope you're listening. In a sense, I hope the world is listening. I'm sorry I fucked you over with Gwen. I'm saying this from the heart.

I, Cody Emmett Jameson Anderson, am in love with you. It's been crushing me for weeks, and I can't stand seeing you fall for some obviously straight guy. So screw Gwen. I'd rather go on a date with you. I mean, if you meet me on the roof of the Playas tomorrow night."

He took a deep breath. He didn't anticipate saying this part, but it seemed about right.

"I don't know if Chris ever airs these things- i know he watches them, but in case he decides to share this one to the world, i'm going to say it loud and clear.
*I'm bisexual*.

And if it pleases you, mom and dad, i never liked Gwen in the first place."

He covered his hand over the camera, paused for a good five seconds, and left.

And somehow, word got out. He wasn't sure if anyone had heard it, or if Chris spilled it somewhere, but the ratings skyrocketed. And the next night, he found Noah waiting on top of the roof of the Playas for him.

I think we can all assume that Cody decided to go for it and kissed the stupid boy. Maybe twice. Or thrice. And maybe Noah would have the dignity to tell Cody that Trent was just some passing fad in the first place. But all that remains hidden, unless Chris decides to air what happens behind the scenes,
