Noah's POV
Noah had wondered when he'd see Cody. He'd been watching Total Drama Island every week and tonight Cody had been voted off.
Cody arrived at the Playa de Losers, and Noah had stood there like an idiot trying to get up the nerve to go talk to him. During the dodgeball game, back on the island, Noah had sort of developed a crush on the other boy when Cody threw that ball at the other team.
Noah had wanted to talk to him more, but then Noah had been voted off that night. He'd been furious at his teammates for voting him off and he was upset that he didn't get a chance to talk to Cody.
Now he had a chance. But he was so nervous. He'd never had a girlfriend au boyfriend before.
Gathering up his courage, Noah went up to Cody just as he was passing the bookworm. "Hey, Cody," Noah said. "I, uh...hey." He blushed. He was terrible at this. But he liked Cody so he would at least give it a try.
"Are wewe okay?" Cody asked him.
Noah jumped at the fact that Cody was actually talking to him. "Me? Yeah. Fine. Hey, I just wanted to apologize for the incident back on Total Drama Island. The awake-a-thon."
Now it was Cody's turn to blush. He laughed nervously. "It's fine," he said.
"Cool. So, um...friends?"
Cody smiled. "Sure. Friends." The awkwardness was gone, which was good. Noah actually felt comfortable around his crush. "Want to hang out kwa the pool?"
Noah jumped. "Right now?"
"Yep. But first I have to put my stuff in my room," Cody said.
"I can help," Noah offered.
"Sure, thanks." Noah picked up Cody's backpack and followed Cody to his room. He went back to his room to change into his bathing suit and met Cody out kwa the pool. "So," Cody said. "Want to swim?"
Swimming wasn't really Noah's thing. He just liked to sit kwa the pool and read. "Nah, I usually just-" he started, but Cody grinned and shoved Noah in the pool.
The pool was FREEZING. "Cody, I'm so going to get you!" Noah called as Cody just rolled his eyes and jumped in after him. Noah swam towards Cody, who squealed and swam away as Noah chased him around the pool. Cody was a fast swimmer but Noah was faster and he pinned Cody to the pool wall.
"Ha! I got you," Noah said.
"And now what?" Cody asked.
Noah fell silent - he hadn't thought of that, but best not to admit that to Cody. He longed to kiss Cody, to tangle his fingers through that wet brown hair. But that would be an end to their brief friendship, Noah knew. Cody had a crush on Gwen, even if she was with Trent, and Noah knew that Cody would never return Noah's feelings.
Still, Marafiki was better than nothing.
