Noah huffed as he hiked up the stairs
He was so close...
So close.
Finally he placed his hand on something
It was a fence post
"Ha!" the teenager exclaimed "suck on that stairs!"
"Seriously dude, it's like 8 in the morning and holiday gets really cranky if something other than six or her alarm clock wakes her up" Rex said looking out of his window
"Dude why the fuck are there so many stairs to get up to your house?!" Noah exploded "I mean seriously you should get an elevator or something"
"I told you to follow the map and take the front entrance instead of the back one or you'd regret it" Rex said simply "the front one connects to the street and isn't that hard to get to but you decided to hike all the way up the property just to get here"
"Dude why did they buy so much land?" Noah asked "I swear to god nobody needs this much land just to live on"
Rex shrugged
"Just give me a minute and I'll buzz you in ok?" he said
Noah sighed and waited until the back door buzzed and he was let in
"Dude, finally" he breathed heading for Rex's couch
He had heard from his best friend that this place was awesome but this was ridiculous
"So we going to school or what?" Rex asked as he went to grab his lunchbox off the counter
"First, I just hiked up a hill alright? So give me a minute. Second, if holiday made that lunchbox..."
"Six made it" Rex said "and he's actually a pretty good chef"
"Oh" Noah breathed before looking up "wait, where is he?"
"Work called and said that they needed him to work late because of some problems with terrorists or something"
"And holiday-"
"Is still asleep" Rex said
Noah groaned before getting up
"Don't you find it weird that they...I dunno together?"
"we all saw it coming" Rex said as he shoved his lunchbox into his bag then gave it a weird look but dismissed whatever thought he was having
"Ok let's go" Noah said heading for what he assumed to be the front door
"Wait" Rex called "this door" he said
"Why?"
"It's the garage"
Noah gave his friend a look of confusion but followed him anyway
If there was one thing he had learned while Rex still worked for providence it was, ask no questions and just go with the flow.
Of course, he'd almost never followed those rules
"So what's in the garage?" Noah asked
"My bike"
"Like bicycle?" Noah asked
"No like, motor bike" Rex smirked "I have a drivers licence remember?"
Noah stared in awe at the cars in their garage, it was pretty amazing
"I didn't know six had a thing for cars," Noah said slowly
"Holiday. Holiday has a thing for cars," Rex corrected before heading over to a motorcycle and throwing Noah a helmet
"So you can build a motorcycle out of your body and they go out and buy you one?" he asked in a snarky tone
"It's more like, I can build motorcycles out of my body parts and I convinced holiday to give me hers" Rex smiled.
"Well your definitely not going to stand out in our high school" Noah sighed.
...oOo...
Rex smiled excitedly as they pulled up at the school
"So this is it," he said staring at it
He'd been to Noah's school before but this time he was actually enrolling for real
"Yea, once again this is it" Noah sighed as he got off the motorcycle
"So has anything changed?" Rex asked
"Not one bit" Noah said almost sadly "except this time don't expect people to treat you really kindly like how they did before the ping pong tournament"
"Got it" Rex smiled sauntering towards the school
"I don't know why I bothered to say anything..." Noah sighed following his cocky friend into the school.
...oOo...
Noah was shaking
Shaking?
Yes.
Shaking with anger
This was the 17th time Rex had thrown a paper ball at him and the teacher had no noticed
"Noah" Rex whispered from the seat behind him
"What?" Noah hissed
"You wanna come over after school?"
"No way, it was really hard getting to your house" Noah snapped "and couldn't you ask me when class was finished?"
"But I was bored so I wanted to make conversation" Rex whispered
"Well I'm sorry that you've done this part of the curriculum but some of us haven't" Noah snapped
"...are you in or what?"
"If I come over will you knock it off?" Noah asked angrily
"It's nice to see that your making friends Noah but it would be nicer if you two didn't argue like an old married couple during my lessons"
There were snickers around the classroom and Noah flushed Rex with embarrassment before sitting down quietly.
It was silent for quite a bit longer before a note was passed onto Noah's desk
Noah discreetly unfurled it before frowning and looking over at Claire who had a grin on her face
Noah passed it back to Rex expecting the teenager to give an unhappy expression but instead he seemed ecstatic
"What is it now Rex?" the teacher sighed noticing his expression
"there's apparently a get together at my house today" Rex smiled waving around the note that Claire had obviously passed around with the intention of it only landing on Noah's desk but instead people had signed it saying they were in for the deal
"How nice" the teacher said narrowing her eyes in anger before coming over "you can go be excited about it outside"
Noah failed to hold back a chuckle
"I meant both of you," the teacher said glaring at Noah
"What? But I didn't do anything!"
"I saw you pass the note back Mr. Nixon. And you know how I feel about note passing in my class" she proclaimed
Noah sighed and got up along with Rex before going to stand outside
"So...you in for the get together or..."
"You know I'll be there," Noah said in a disheartened tone
"This is going to be so awesome!" Rex exclaimed
"Won't holiday and six be—"
"Working late? Yes." Rex smiled happily
"Of course" Noah rolled his eyes "well at least it's not at my house," Noah said before giving a small smile
"There's the best friend I know" Rex said nudging the blonde teen.
...oOo...
"I thought one of the rules were no house parties" Bobo said obviously no trying to stop the party that Rex had set in motion
"Throwing house parties if I and holiday just happen to be out of town," Rex said in a mocking tone
"Right, and what do you care?" Noah asked "Rex is the one who's gonna get in trouble if they find out"
"The ninja will know" Bobo said "and so will the doctor"
"just relax, I locked all the doors which have any significant equipment in them and everything they need is downstairs, party ends at 12, I clean until 1 and holiday and six will be back at like 3"
"How do you know?" Noah asked
"I read their schedules" Rex smiled triumphantly
"Wow...you might actually get away with this" Noah said slowly starting to relax"
"Yea and there's no way that we won't be able to get this place cleaned up by the time they get back"
"We?" Noah asked
"We, your helping"
Noah groaned, he should have known.
...oOo...
After a long day (and morning) or helping Rex out Noah finally collapsed onto his bed
He had snuck in so his mom didn't know he'd been out until 2AM
The teenager gave a sigh of relief before slowly falling asleep...
all of a sudden his bedroom door was practically kicked down by his mother
"Noah Nixon how. Dare. You" she snapped angrily
Noah fell out of his bed and looked up at his mom in confusion
"Getting in trouble at school and then coming home at 2AM?!" she exclaimed
Noah sighed
'So close' he thought before listening to his mother rant about how he was SO grounded...
...oOo...
I think it's nice how Noah has to put up with all the BS that Rex gets him into :D
Please review and make suggestions so I'll make sure I update faster
