"OMG! Sadie look at those shoes!" Kill me now.

Well, it's been a year since Total Drama All-Stars and I'm still dating Katie. I seriously don't know why I still am. This is just as irritating as I thought it would be. I mean, every time she kisses me, I feel like flinching. I know it's because I'm gay and not bi. The only reason I haven't broken up with her is because I'm still trying to forget Cody. It hasn't been working well. Luckily, I don't have to go this alone though because Trent is dating Sadie. Don't ask me why. I'm still trying to figure that out.

The two of us have gotten closer because of it. I can even say he's my best friend. Sorry Owen, you've been replaced. When he started dating Sadie, I was still hooked up on Cody, and I was able to talk to him about it since he was one of the few people who knew.

Anyway, back to the present. Currently Katie, Sadie, Trent, and I are at the mall since the girls wanted to, you guessed it, shop. Of course they felt the need to drag us along. How wonderful.

Sadie gasps. "Like, they are sooo cute."

Trent and I exchange looks. He gives me a 'What can you do?' look. Well he isn't going to be any help, so guess it's up to me. Yay.

"Not that talking and squeeling about shoes isn't fascinating, but we've been in this same spot for twenty minutes, can we please go a little faster." I say.

"Noah, you need to learn to be nicer." Katie scolds me.

"I said please." I reply.

Trent breaks this up before it gets worse, saying, "Hey, let's all chill out. And girls, I'm going to have to agree with Noah on this." Thank you.

"Ok, I guess we can check out another store." Sadie says. "Is that ok Trent?"

"As long as I'm with you, I'm perfect." Trent tells her. Oh, you have got to be kidding me.

Katie and Sadie both 'Awwww.' Sadie then says, "That was so sweet Trent."

"Like, totally sweet." Katie agrees.

"And cheesy as hell." I add.

"Oh come on Noah, it may be cheesy, but it's so romantic." Katie tells me.

"Well, I feel you are too special to be saying cheesy lines to." I could've done better, but that'd be too much effort.

And the wonder twins 'Awww' again.

"See, that's what I'm talking about." Katie tells me.

We walk out of the shoe store, and all of a sudden there is an ear piercing squeal that puts Katie and Sadie to shame. I turn my head to the direction it came from, but when I do, I really wish I hadn't. Because in front of me is the two people I have loathed for the past year. Sierra and… Cody.

Katie and Sadie add in their own squeels. Sadie then says, "Oh my gosh! Hi guys! It's been so long!" (A/N *sings 'It's been so long' by the living tombstone.* Sorry. ^ ^')

"Hi!" Stalkerlicious replies. "I can't believe this! What are the chances of this?" Slim. Sadly though, not slim enough.

"I know right!" Katie responds. "Hi Cody!"

"Oh, uh hi." Cody says. "Sup Trent." Cody looks at me. "H-hey Noah."

"Sup man, long time no see!" Trent replies, fist bumping Cody.

"Hi." I reply, trying to hide my bitterness.

"So what have you guys been up to?" Sierra asks.

"Oh, not much." Katie replies. "Noah and I are dating though." She hugs my arm.

"Trent and I as well." Sadie adds.

Sierra squeals, luckily not as loud as last time, and exclaims excitedly, "O.M.G. Notie and Trendie are canon? The fans will go ballistic!"

The girls then start going off into their own little wonderland. So far in the entire conversation, Cody hasn't taken his eyes off of me. What? Do I have something in my teeth? It's making me kind of awkward.

Cody then speaks up. "So, Katie and Sadie? Gotta say didn't expect that, especially with you Noah."

"Yeah, well you don't expect a lot of things from people, yet shit happens." I reply dryly.

"So…" Trent interrupts, sensing the tense air. "What about you and Sierra."

"Oh, uh, yeah. Heh heh…" Cody doesn't continue.

"Is everything alright Co- Dude, Noah look, a train store!" Trent says excitedly.

"Wow!" I say sarcastically. "Isn't that amazing?" I know I shouldn't be like this to Trent, but having been at the mall for the past 3 hours and running into Cody and Sierra, I'm not exactly in the best of moods… Wait a minute, I know what he's doing. He's getting me out of this awkward situation. Huh, I definitely owe Trent one.

"Aw, come on dude, you know it's important to me. I really want to see if they have a model like the one my grandfather gave me." Trent says to me.

I give a fake sigh and reply, "Alright, alright we can go."

"Sweet!" Trent exclaims. "Hey girls, Noah and I are going to the train store over there."

"Ok, have fun!" Katie tells us.

"Alright, see ya Cody. See ya Sierra. It was nice to see you guys again." Trent says.

"Same!" Stalkerlicious says. "Bye guys."

"See ya." Cody says. "G-good-bye Noah."

I give an uncaring wave, and Trent and I start walking over to the train store.

Once I know the girls and Cody are out of ear shot, I say, "Thanks for that. I owe you one."

"Don't worry about it." Trent responds. "I know how awkward it feels." I nod. We enter the train store, and I look around. Yep, filled with trains and train accessories to fill your obsessive train needs.

"You still love him?" Trent asks out of the blue.

Do I still love him? Tsk I don't even have to think about the answer. "Of course I do. Hell, there still isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him. But I also think of what he did, and I hate him for it at the same time."

"Damn." Trent says. "That was really cheesy, especially for you."

I send him a glare, and he puts his hands in a surrendering fashion. "Whoa, chill bro. I was trying to lighten the mood a little. I'm sorry."

"What-ever." I mumble.

"I think he still loves you too." Trent tells me. Pfft. As if. Then why would he make out with someone else while we were still dating, then go on to date them after we break up. Now that I think about it, we never really 'officially' broke up. Meh, oh well.

"What makes you say that?" I ask Trent.

"Well, for starters, he kept his gaze on you the entire time." He replies. "And the fact he tried talking directly to you multiple times."

"And that means he still has feelings for me?" I say, not buying it. Which I'm not.

Trent sighs and says, "You're so stubborn."

Katie and Sadie then enter the store, and come over to where we are.

"Hey guys! Did you see anything Trent?" Sadie asks her boyfriend.

"Nah. I'm not surprised though. The train I'm looking for is really old." Trent replies.

"Ok, so guess what!" Katie says.

"I don't know, but you seem pretty excited, so I'll take it it's a good thing." I say.

"Oh, it totally is!" Katie says. "Us four and Cody and Sierra are going to go on a triple date!" Oh no. No no no no no. Why does crap like this happen to me? Why does life hate me so much? I don't want to spend more time with Cody and Sierra! I'm trying to forget Cody. Which, I haven't been doing a good job at, but I can still try.

"Really, that's great!" Trent replies, half faking his enthusiasm. I know him and Cody were close friends back when the show was going, so I don't blame him.

"Aren't you excited Noah?" Katie asks me.

"Meh." I respond.

"Noah is there something wrong?" she says.

"What do you mean?" I ask her.

"Well, I thought you'd be happy since you and Cody were really close." You have no idea. "You guys were like BGFFLs." Katie tells me.

"Um, what?"

"Best Guy Friends for Life, duh." Sadie says. Well she doesn't have to get sassy.

"Oh, well, I don't know. I just don't feel that excited." I reply.

"Ok." Katie mumbles, not fully satisfied with my answer.

I grab Katie's hand, and Trent does the same to Sadie's. "Now let's please leave, I'm tired." I say.

"Ok." Katie and Sadie reply at the same time. It still creeps me out how they do that.

As we are leaving the mall, part of me is happy that we are finally leaving, but the majority of my brain is thinking how this 'triple date' with Cody and Sierra is going to go. And does Cody actually still like me? Or is Trent just being crazy. Either way, I could possbly find out on this date.


Second chapter! I was really motivated to write this. I'm actually surprised it came out this fast. Though, I did have these first two chapters planned out for a while. I'm not exactly sure where this is going. From what I have this may be around 5-6 chapters, but I wanna make it more. Hopefully I can get more ideas. And yeah, I know Trent and Sadie is a pretty out there couple, but meh deal with it. X3 Anywhooooos! Hope you like! ~CV
