( reading back i realised i severely messed up with the thanksgiving chapter. i forgot to clarify, and realised i messed up. but arabella and kio were born in spain (where their mother was born, but their father had been living for the past 12 years), they lived there for around 4 years but moved to ontario in canada. they lived there for 8 years but only moved out la due to business opportunities for their parents' restaurant, meaning arabella and kio had to leave all of their old friends behind.)
i hope that helped clear things up ^^^

arabella had just finished messing around and making some tiktoks with addison. it was around 11pm and the whole sway group plus some of the girls had been hanging out in the lounge area.
"bella, can you go with noah to get the food!", kio pleaded, giving his sister 'puppy' eyes.
kio knew that arabella couldn't decline his puppy dog look, the girl letting out a groan.
"okay," she sighed, laughing slightly at her brother.
arabella grabbed her phone and met noah at the front door, the two of them getting into his car. arabella quickly bluetoothed her phone to the car and began to play her playlist.
the introduction to requiem from dear evan hansen filled the car, arabella letting out an excited squeal. arabella was a theatre kid at heart, spending majority of her younger years attending broadway musicals and shows. even when she lived in canada, her neighbour, and childhood best friend used to perform with her in their middle school musicals, the pair always getting the lead roles.
arabella began to sing along, her beautiful voice blending in with laura dreyfuss' verse. noah looked at the display and noticed the words dear evan hansen. it immediately clocked in his head.
"bella? did you ever open my christmas gift?", noah asked, as he continued to drive towards a mcdonald's.
arabella furrowed her brows, she looked at noah with a confused glance.
"no, remember, we had an issue when you were going to give it to me," arabella chuckled awkwardly.
noah mentally cursed.
"i left it under the tree because i knew you would open it on christmas day, did you not see it?", he asked.
arabella shook her head.
"nope," she laughed. "we did have a lot of those fake gifts around the house for decoration, maybe one of the guys might've got it mixed up with that."
noah let out a annoyed groan.
"where are all of the decorations?", noah asked, as he pulled into the mcdonald's drive thru.
"they're in the basement, they're in specific boxes that are labelled because i'm an organisation freak according to the others," she laughed.
noah shook his head with a small laugh. arabella got her phone out as they reached the ordering part, she held up her list on her notes to noah. noah began to say the large order them going to the other window and paying with bryce's card, as he had offered to pay for tonight's order. they passed the order through, arabella placing five bags of food on the floor, and three in the backseat. the group decided against ordering drinks because they had tons back at the sway house, so once all the bags of food were in the car, noah moved out of the driveway and parked in the car park. they needed to check all the bags to make sure that everything was there.
arabella leant forward towards her feet and began to scan all the bags.
"bella?", noah asked.
arabella's head quickly snapping upwards, instantly hitting her head on the dashboard.
"ow!", she exclaimed, rubbing her head.
noah laughed slightly, gently stroking the spot where she hit her head as she came up. noah removed his hand as arabella turned to him.
"what's up?", she asked.
"i've been thinking and i realised that i owe you an apology," he stated.
arabella nodded gently along to his words.
"so arabella, i'm sorry. i didn't mean those things i said to you, about the whole loren situation. i was stupid and dumb, and i didn't think how in the moment those words would hurt you. if you done the exact same thing to me with another guy then i would have been equally as and, probably even more and that's not fair," noah sighed. "i shouldn't have said that i'm single because technically i'm not single, because bella."
he let out another sigh.
"i really see something for us. i see a potential with us and i know you see it too. and i understand that you're not ready, and i'm completely okay with that, but i need you to know that i want you in my life angel, i need you in my life, as something more."
"and i understand that i'm a fuck it sometimes, sometimes i don't know what to do or say and i mess up. but i promise you bella, you will never find a person who will love you more. and i don't care if i have to wai-", noah ranted but was cut off.
arabella reached up and cupped his face with one hand, quickly pressing their lips together. noah was in shock, but didn't waste any time as he held onto arabella's face, reciprocating the kiss.
they slowly pulled away, resting their foreheads against each other.
"i forgive you," arabella whispered.
a smile grew onto noah's face.
