Total Drama Island, was what, 3 years ago?I couldn't tell if my constant tossing and turning in my bed was a sign of insomnia or a sign that painful memories were once again haunting me. I shuttered, and tossed the covers over my head, shutting my eyelids tight.
please just fall asleep, please..
I gave up, and grabbed a book up from the floor. I've probably read "The Witches" more then 5 times now, but I was too lazy and too tired to find something else. Don't you hate it when your tired but know you are not one bit drowsy?
Flipping through the pages of already memorized words I gave up and got up from my bed. I knew this was going to be a long night.I scratched through my now warm and dark brown hair and gave myself a good arm stretch before getting up and venturing through my crappy little apartment ,
Yes,I Noah, lived in a very small apartment... probably wondering how this all happened, well for one, I'm 19, second, I couldn't stand living with my parents no longer. Simple as that. I really didn't want to explain the reason why I'm not in college, but think of this, if your parents were paying for 8 other kids to go to college do you think they would be at least a bit broke by the 5th?
With my high IQ I would expect it would be very easy for me, however truth is I gave up on those kind of silly dreams once I graduated, and I stayed in this life of pure negativity, living with my very old golden retriever that wasn't worse enough you could only imagine how I made money. I wasn't mixing fluids in laboratories, or working in high class businesses as I hoped, instead I was stuck bringing scrambled eggs and coffee to families and elders at a broke down Denny's, early in the morning.
There's times I try to convince myself this is only the beginning chapter of life on my own... Or possibly the beginning of ripping all the pages out.

My eyes watered but I wasn't crying. I guess I was staring at the TV way to much.
"Cody, Honey? Maybe you should go get some fresh air?", My Mom said standing near the doorway from the kitchen wiping down a plate with a towel dry.
"No, not now Mom"
"You should go out and eat something. Remember the doctor said you need a little more meat on those bones sweetie."
"I'm skinny and ok with it...", I replied practically shunning her."Well..", she paused, "Alright then.", She turned around back into the kitchen probably where she was going to make me something to eat anyway.
I sighed. Was I spoiled? Well I didn't have a job for one, and I pretty much could do whatever I wanted...That was two..
I reached my hand out to the living room table and grabbed a plate of assorted fruit and crackers. I popped a grape in my mouth and toggled around the channels, wishing I could find something.
It wasn't long until my butt become numb from sitting on the sofa so long. I guess I do need some fresh air, and plus I didn't have breakfast this morning.
I used a lot of my strength to pull myself off the couch. Once off the couch I balanced myself, and headed to the kitchen.
"Hey Mom?", I called out, "Can I borrow some cash? I'm going to Denny's.",Once handed the cash, I grabbed a coat and headed out the door.
Sigh.

Somebody please shut up that crying baby.
I felt as if I wanted to cry myself. I tried hard to hold my posture (even though I was about to fall over any second from the lack of sleep) and carried a huge coffee pot over to a table of brace faced tween girls. Oh great.
"Do I even need to ask if any of you ladies need coffee?", I hope to god that didn't sound snarky, the last thing I needed was a warning to be fired. I needed this job, and I knew I couldn't let my attitude get in the way. I smiled to cover up any bitterness and caught the eyes of one of the frumpy giggling girls staring at me. Here it goes.
"Um, like I was totally wondering if like, you were single or anything?", she paused and smiled wide exposing her red and blue braces. In response a bunch of the girls laughed and giggled, looking at each other as if this was the most exciting thing that has happened to them in months.
I stood there in my apron and holding the huge pot of coffee maintaining a unimpressed frown. I pretty much expected this. Slouching now, I huffed a bit as all the girls stared closely waiting for a response.
I suddenly heard a new customer walk in the door and crash into the wall, causing him to fall over. This got me by so much surprise I dropped the coffee as it splattered all over the ground. Everyone looked over, all gasped and many stared. I went to run over and help this guy, but slipped on the coffee in the process.
The tween girls gasped and acted concerned for my attention. I slowly grabbed a counter and pulled myself up, realizing all in the process my manager was watching me. As things couldn't get any worse.
I ran over to the helpless guy, who for some strange reason has I bicycle helmet stuck over practically his whole face, excluding mouth, must be a klutz.
I managed to help the guy up, who looked around my age. I didn't even know how I could tell with that thing all up in his face, but I guess the thin body gave it away.
"Sir, are you alright?", I asked a bit out of breath.
He turned to me obviously not being able to see me one bit for the helmet was still stuck on his face.
"Oh yeah, I'm totally fine dude, no worries.", he responded in a sweet innocent voice I couldn't help feel as if were familiar.
I paused and thought a moment, but gave up and realized it must be no one I know and helped him over to a seat behind the tween girls, "Well, I'll serve you in just a few moments.."
"Cool! Can I have a kids menu with some crayons while your at it?", he laughed a bit while trying to tug the helmet off.
Figures… He's like one of those grown ups who still feels like a kid. Why doesn't that surprise me? Real cute. I rolled my eyes.
I returned to the annoyances of girls and took out a notepad waiting for there order until a girl with frizzy pigtails and abnormally large pair of glasses spoke up.
She giggled and hid her face a bit behind a menu, "You never answered Penelope's question", she squeaked.
"The answer is no, I'm not single.", I stated monotonously.
The girls gasped a bit, and one of the girls asked disappointedly, "Who's the lucky girl?"
I felt a bit of anger rose from me when I mumbled out, "Lucky guy you mean…"
That really shocked them. They all looked at me wide eyes as if I just spoke of the devil. I felt like pouring coffee into one of there four-eyed faces.
"Oh…", was all Penelope responded.
"Just please tell me your order.", I asked angrily tapping my foot impatiently to the ground. These girls better not effect my job.
It was then something shocking happened. The guy with the bicycle helmet rose turned in his seat and tried facing me in the direction of my voice.

This stupid helmet! Why must it always get stuck on my face?
I turned over my seat to the guy who helped me out earlier for a specific reason, the reason being I knew that voice. That voice came from somewhere. Just somewhere, but where?
I could feel his eyes staring back at me strangely so I smiled nervously.

I finally got the helmet off and saw something I was not expecting at all. I literally felt my heart beat outside my chest.
Oh-
