"Cody, if I were gonna die today my life would be more than okay"

"Don't say anything like that, never say anything like that"

You know how some people start their story at the end and it makes perfect sense still? That's not how I am going to do it. I will admit that my story doesn't begin there but its not the end. Lets go back a little. A little more. Farther farther…there we go. We start here.

His name is Noah Brooks. Noah Brooks was not my friend. Noah was my lab partner. And that was it. That was it…for that time. It all really started on the first day of freshman year. I was new to the school, I mean all freshmen were new but this was a prep school. They all knew each other since middle and elementary. I was scared and alone I guess that's why I was excited to see Noah in my first period science class. I knew him from around my neighborhood we weren't living next to each other but we knew each other. I remember when I was in the 3rd grade-well the summer of 3rd grade- Noah used to go to the park everyday just like me. I guess he wanted to be out of his house just as much as I wanted out of my own. All I really knew about Noah is that he had 9 siblings. I had known… I was a bit jealous. But back to my first day of school. I walked into the room and I saw him sitting with a book that said Natalia. His older sister. I didn't say anything till the end of class.

"Noah?" he didn't look up "Noah Brookes?"

I heard him mutter something like 'oh geez' and he looked up and didn't even bother forging a smile.

"It's Cody" He looked at me "Fancy seeing you here!"

"Cody? Do I know you?" He said, but I knew he remembered. How could he forget?

~~Flashback~~

"Im Cody! Cody Thomas!" I smiled at him

"Noah Brookes" he looked down at his torn up book that said 'Natalia'

"Who's Natalia?" I asked "It says her name on your book"

"One of my many siblings… I have 9"

"Woah I am jealous"

"DON'T EVER SAY THAT!" he screamed at me. it was so weird. "it's lonelier than it seems"

"well we can be friends!" I said smiling my gap toothed smile

"maybe when I need a friend but I don't know…ask me again later"

END~~

Its not that it was eventful but…I would remember flipping out on a total stranger…

"Yeah you know me we are neighbors"

"Oh…doesn't mean we are friends" he got up and left. Ouch that stung… bad. I left and went to my other classes. All were just as lonely as the first. I officially hated high school. It was the ultimate hell. I got to lunch and I felt invisible. I got walked into. I got seen through. I was like a ghost but worse. I sat down at an empty table and ate in loud room. It was hard to do and I didn't know where I got the courage but the next day I approached Noah.

Hope you liked it! Here's a preview for the upcoming chapters I have 3 in mind
