That day at school was pure hell. All day I had to listen to his annoying voice, and all it was talking about was himself. When I got home, I dropped my bag by the front door, then went to the fridge to get a Mt. Dew. As I began to open it, I saw a note.

Dear Ally,

I shuddered at the first line. I hated it when she called me that. But I knew that nothing in the notes my mother left were never the truth... by now I knew what everything meant though.

I have gone on an important business trip,

In some strangers pants.

I'm sorry I wasn't here to see your first day at school.

She's just trying to seem like she cares.

If you could please find someone to stay with for the next week, I'd be so relieved.

She doesn't want me to stay here and eat everything.

Love you always,

Mom

She is such a piss-off.

But she'd know if I stayed here... Suddenly I straightened up in horror.

He was the only person I knew.

The next day I walked to school very slowly. I was trying to go through my speech on how I was gonna get some guy that I hate, and hates me, to let me stay with him. Noah was the only person I knew... So what else was I supposed to do? Be nice and hope it works out? Hell no.

When I got to my locker, which was unfortunately underneath Noah's, I saw a crowd of half the school surrounded his.

I shoved through the crowd, then hissed, "Could you please remove your posse from my locker? I have to talk to you."

He rolled his eyes, then waved the people away. Who the hell did he think he was?

"Uhm..." My expression suddenly changed, "Look, my mom went out of town for like a week and I... I don't... I can't..." He raised an eyebrow... I was ranting. "Can I stay with you? My mom is never around and stuff so I'm a quiet person... you won't even know I'm there..." His eyes widened... In sympathy! I was not about to stand there and be the outcast. "But y'know I could always find someone else..." I held my head up high... but he knew I was lying.

"You can stay with me." he replied with confidence.

I leaned in towards his face, "You had better not tell anyone about this or I'll have your head on a platter." He backed up, still smiling, then put his hands up equal height to his chest and spread his palms out.

"No worries." He smirked.

Oh. My. God. I hated him.

After school, he lead me out the front doors.

"I live a couple blocks away from here. But I take the bus anyway..." He stated.

I shrugged, I'd take the bus if I didn't get kicked off.

"Let's walk..." I said, staring at him assertively.

He sighed, "Fine."

We began to walk, then about two blocks away from the school, I caught sight of some guy with, like, a million piercings on his face. I rolled my eyes, even though I figured he might be one of those guys that was... kinda like me.

His bright green mohawk stuck up off his head as Noah scoffed at it. I looked at him, then suddenly he glanced at me. I just rolled my eyes... I don't do friends anyway.

Suddenly, he grabbed Noah and pulled him closer to him. I stood there, waiting for them.

(Regular POV)

Duncan pulled Noah into an ally.

"Dude! How the hell did you manage to snag someone like her!?" He said, nodding towards Allyn.

Noah just stared in confusion.

"Dude she's hot." Duncan smirked.

"Oh my god.. You think we're together?" Noah asked, horrified.

"Uhm yeah..." Duncan said slowly, glancing from Noah to Allyn. "Okay never mind. Mind if I talk to her?" He asked, smirking deviously.

As Duncan began to walk, Noah stuttered, "Uhm... N-No! She's my sister!" His eyes widened at the lie he told. He hated this girl... So why was he protecting her from the likes of Duncan? She deserved it.

Duncan glanced back at Noah, "You have a sister? But she's our age..." Duncan said, examining her from a distance.

"Did I say sister? I meant cousin." He said, questioning himself more than Duncan.

"Sister's definitely off limits, but cousin's a different story..." Duncan laughed.

"Don't you have a girlfriend?" Noah sneered, having watched the episodes of Total Drama Island even after he got voted off. He wanted to see how anyone dumber than him could have won.

"Courtney?" Duncan asked, pretending to not quite remember her.

"Uhm... yeah." Noah said, eyes wide, knowing it was more obvious then he led it on to be.

"Oh, well... I don't do long distance relationships." Duncan said casually.

Clearly Duncan didn't know Courtney was transferring to their school... Noah was happy, because they had been friends for a really long time... and of course during the show Duncan wasn't to fond of Noah and Courtney's friendship...

Noah couldn't think of anything else to say, so he just watched Duncan approach Allyn, hoping he wasn't her type.

Somehow...

He highly doubted it.

(Main Character's POV)

I saw him approach me and I rolled my eyes. He walked like a total asshole, swaying from side to side and all.

"Can't I just go home..." I grumbled, throwing my head back.

"Awww, what's wrong?" He asked, smirking.

"Nothing." I snapped, leaning back to see Noah looking at me, giving me all those signals that mean no, don't do it, stay away, ect.

He raised and eyebrow at me, then assertively stuck his hand out. "Duncan." He said.

"Allyn." I said, shaking his hand violently.

Noah quickly walked up to us and tore our hands from each other, although our stares were still totally fixed on each other.

For some reason, Noah stood in between us, blocking our gazes.

"Let's go home." He said quietly, aimed at me.

I nodded then winked at Duncan. For dramatic effect, of course.

"Parent's are gone to Hawaii for the next three weeks." Noah stated, stepping into his large house.

"So I get to pick any bed to sleep in." I snickered.

"Erm, no." He shot back.

"My parents locked their room and we're getting a new couch next month, so we won't have one 'till... A long time from now."

We dropped our backpacks near the door and I followed him into what seemed to be his room. The carpet was a tan color, and the walls were just plain white. I stared at how organized his room was and nearly smiled. It reminded me of how I have OCD. It sucks because everything has to be perfect when you're not.

Suddenly, a stack of blankets hit me in the face, and I jerked my arms up to catch them.

"There's your bed." He said nodding to the floor, smiling.

I wasn't about to let him enjoy himself, not letting me have a bed and all. "Good, I love the floor." I sneered back.

Later that night, Noah made me turn around until he was situated in his bed, which meant he slept in his boxers.

I quietly laid down on my pallet and shut my eyes. I opened them up again after about a minute.

My eyes widened as I saw it.

The small spider crept on my pillow.

I shrieked so loud it probably woke the whole neighborhood. I shot up, which was a bit embarrassing because I slept in a bra a boxers, and tore my pillow up from off the ground.

Now, before you start laughing, let's get one thing straight. I am not afraid of anything

Except spiders.

Noah began to crack up, seeing the size of the spider that I had flung into the corner.

Quietly, I whined, "Can I sleep in the bed too?"

Noah glanced up at me, still trying to catch his breath. He rolled his eyes then said, "Pick a side."

He stood up and, frankly, I have to admit he did have a nice body. It was tan and not too buff, but not to scrawny.

I slowly laid down on the side closest to the wall, then shoved myself against it, making sure I wouldn't even get close to touching the guy.

Finally, my eyes shut, and I dozed off.
