Cody's P.O.V

Being at the Playa De Losers has been really good actually. I'm glad that I got kicked off the show. Even though I was in a full body cast as I left. The cast came off around five weeks later. I was thankful, because I hated being in that thing. I couldn't do a single thing that I wanted to. And it sucks even more when you get hard and can't do a single thing but sleep the erection off. So I was glad that damned cast came off. While being kicked off I've grown to be closer to all the others here. I've learned to not get on their bad side and stay on their good side at almost all times. Though the one I believe I've grown to be closer to would have to definitely be Noah.

He's a really cool guy; once you get past all the sarcasm and know-it-all's attitude. To me, I think that Noah gives me more attention and shows me more of his softer sides. Everyone here thinks that Noah is some kind of weirdo that wants nothing to do with anyone else here. I can understand the reason why he doesn't want to be bothered with anyone else, but it doesn't give them the right to call him a weirdo. He's just misunderstood and uses his attitude and sarcasm to cover up what he's really feeling inside. That's all that really is.

I sat on the lounge chair by the pool and held my shades in my hand. I looked around and wondered if Noah was out here or not. As I looked around, there was barely anyone here at the pool side. Only people here were I, Harold and Ezekiel. Weird, wonder where everyone is at. I shrugged my shoulders and looked around once more. I wonder where Noah is... Maybe he's in his room reading a book…yeah! I smiled and placed my shades over my eyes and leaned back in the chair laying down in it. I let out a soft sigh and closed my eyes, resting my hands behind my head and began to soak up the sun.

The sound of a body placing itself into a chair next to me was heard and I smirked. It's probably just Justin getting more to his already perfect tan. A small laugh escaped my lips just thinking about it.

"And you would be laughing at what, exactly?"

I knew that voice all too well. I sat up and took of my shades, just to look at the boy sitting next to me. His tan skin glowed under the sun as he sat there in his swim shorts with a book in his hand. His dark brown eyes held curiosity as his hair was pulled back into a small ponytail, letting small strands fall down on the sides of his face. I let my eyes travel slightly lower to see that he wore a white short sleeve shirt and red swim shorts with a yellow star on the right pants leg. I smiled and looked back up at his face and into his brown eyes. He was just good looking. Though, that was my opinion. I would never tell him that though! He might think I was a freak if I told him something like that.

"Hello? Are you going to answer me, or stare at me dumbfounded?" he asked me a bit loudly bringing me out of my small trance.

"Oh! Sorry about that, I was spacing off…" I say nervously feeling blush creep up onto my cheeks.

"Hmm, when are you not spacing off?" he questioned with sarcasm dripping from his voice.

I watched as Noah leaned back in his chair and open the book in his hand and begin to read it. I looked at him and then began to lean forward to see what he was reading. I noticed it was one of Shakespeare's famous plays; Rome and Juliet. I read that once, and I didn't understand it at all. I understood the concept that the two families hated each other and that both Romeo and Juliet were in love with each other, and that in the end they killed themselves over some fake death thing. But the way that they spoke, confused the hell out of me.

"Romeo and Juliet, Cody." Noah said seeing as I was hovering over his lap inches away from his valuables.

I blushed deeply turning a dark red and quickly pulled back looking at him apologetically. "I'm sorry!!" I exclaim waving my arms frantically. "I was just trying to see what you were reading…" I say a bit more quietly.

Noah just shook his head letting out a deep and slightly annoyed sigh and looked at me. "You know you could have just asked me what I was reading…?" he said looking at me with questioning look on his face.

I looked down completely embarrassed, nodding my head. "Y-yeah…"

Noah went back to his book and I just looked down in my lap still embarrassed about what just happened a few seconds ago between the two of them. I just couldn't believe that I had just done that. The worst part is, is that I didn't know what I was doing! Aw man! How am I going to even say anything to him now, after just doing that?! I groaned and flipped over onto my stomach and laid my face into my arms and closed my eyes sighing deeply. I guess I was being too loud, because Noah stopped reading and looked over to me and sighed to himself.

"You know, it's alright Cody. It was an accident." He said setting his book into his lap. "You didn't mean to do it. Calm down alright?"

I lifted my head to look at him and with my slightly watered blue eyes. "So…you still want to be friends?"

"No of course not…" he said with a straight face.

I looked at him with sad eyes and sat up to look at him. "But you just said that-"

"I was kidding Cody! Calm down." He said with a smirk on his face.

I crossed my arms and glared at him. "That wasn't cool Noah!" I exclaimed pouting only slightly.

"You are just too gullible Cody." He said shaking his head and chuckling.

I just glared at him with my arms crossed over my chest. I hear his small laughter, and I realize I can never stay mad at Noah. Letting my glare lighten up, I un-crossed my arms and rolled my eyes. I grabbed the shades that were sitting next to me and was about to place them on my face, when I realized that there was nobody else out at the pool. I scrunched up my expression in as curiosity took over me. Where was everyone today? Normally, we're all out here having a blast...so where could they all be? Questions like this clouded my mind. I looked around again and then set my focus on Noah; who had continued reading.

I tapped on his shoulder and waited for him to turn to me, so his attention was on me. When it wasn't and still on that dumb book, I lightly shook him. Hearing him sigh in annoyance, Noah set his book down and looked at me.

"What is it Cody?" he questioned with a bored expression on his face.

"Do you know where everyone is?" I asked tilting my head to the side slightly.

He drew in a deep breath before he answered me. "Everyone is at a photo shoot, for the next season. Since there wasn't enough room in the Limo for the rest of us to get in, we're getting our photo's taken tomorrow."

I nodded understanding, but then I wondered; why would they be getting a photo shoot without the rest of us there? Isn't it a group picture or something? I groaned softly feeling as though we weren't important enough to be in the group. I was hurt a little. All of us here who had been on the show, were great friends. Why wouldn't they at least try to get us into the photo shoot?

Noah noticed the look on my face and his eyebrows raised into something I don't think I've ever seen on him before; concern.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked softly.

"You look upset...what are you thinking?" he asked.

"Oh...um, why would they be having a photo shoot without us. Isn't it a group thing they're doing or something?"

Noah's concerned melted away as amusement cover his face. I don't know what he found so funny in my disappointment.

"It's not a group photo shoot dummy. It's a single shot photo shoot." he saw that I didn't say anything and sighed continuing. "Meaning, that they're taking the individuals that are here at this lame resort, and taking photo's of them, by themselves."

My eyebrows raised in understanding and I nodded smiling, feeling all the hurt that was there before lift away from me. "I get it now! Thanks Noah."

"Don't mention it." he mumbled, raising his book back up to his face and began reading it again.

I smiled and stood up going over to the bar surrounded by water. I hopped into the water and swam over to it. Stepping on the small step, I walked up to the bar and shook the water out of my blonde hair. I took in a deep breath and opened up the mini fridge under the counter pulling out a cold soda. I stood up and looked at Noah wondering if he wanted one also.

Seeing as how he was so engrossed into his book, I just grabbed him one and closed the mini fridge. I dipped myself back into the cool blue water and swam on my back smoothly.

As I swam I stared up at the clear blue sky. I wondered how my life came to be how it is now. Last thing I knew I was this nerdy kid who lived in New Jersey with his Aunt. I couldn't really remember my childhood from when I was 10 and youngerl. It was all so fuzzy. Whenever I tried to remember it, I got this familiar weird feeling in the pit of my stomach, as though I was going to throw up. So I try to not think about it as much.

When I turned in my audition tape for the show I was always told by others, that I would never make it onto the show, because of I wasn't hot enough to be on a show like this. Or because I wasn't smart enough to figure out the tasks that were going to be given. And when people figured out that the cast were going to be given tasks that dealt with strength, they all laughed because they knew how bad I was in that department. I won't deny it, I was a bit scrawny. But being on the show and doing all the things that Chris, the psychopath host, made us do, I became to have a little more meat on my bones and just a small bit muscle.

When I figured out I was chosen to be on the show, I was more than happy. I was freaking ecstatic! I went around and showed everyone who laughed in my face, telling me I would never get the part and proved them wrong. I gloated each and everyday up until the day I had to leave. Within that entire week everyone wanted to be my friend, because they knew I was going to be famous. And look where I am now. I have it all! Friends, some people who I consider my family, food, and luxury! I have it all.

I was taken away from my thoughts, when I felt a sharp pain course through me.

"Ow!" I exclaim.

I felt behind me and felt the wall. I rubbed my head then looked at my hand and saw red. I see Noah's feet running over to me. I heard as he called my name over and over, but his voice began to fade out. My eyelids grew heavy as blackness began to cover my vision. What just happened? That was the last thing I thought, before I slipped into unconsciousness.

Cody falls into unconsciousness...wondering what happens next? review to find out! :D
