DISCLAIMER ALERT!: If I owned Cody and Noah they would be on a show called Total Slash Island. But they are on total drama island therefore I don't own it

Note: This is gonna be a short chapter sorry

The cafeteria, though it had dim lighting, was glowing with chitter chatter of young ones. "Gwen is so not dating Trent AGAIN!" "Geoff and Bridgette did what in her mothers bedroom??" The gossip train took a stop at my little cafeteria. Noah was taking in what I said. "To be friends". The way he was acting made it seem like I said "To eat your soul". I thought he was on mute because he hadn't spoken for so long. The idea was broken when he all of a sudden asked.

"Why do you try so hard?" He looked me square in the eye "Why do you care so much?"

I stopped breathing… why do I try so hard? Why do I care so much about being this cynical pessimist's friend? And when I tried to answer I closed my mouth…the only answer that could come to mind was 'its lonelier than it seems' when I saw the sorrow and loneliness in someone else's eyes besides my own.

"Because Noah," I said as I moved closer in, "Everyone needs a friend"

And all of a sudden that feeling, that emotion I saw in him six years ago all flashed back into his eyes. He got up and looked at me "Come with me. I don't think you want to eat that anyways" he was right this sloppy joe looked disgusting. Jeez the chef at this school sucked I heard rumors about Chef Hatchet before but I never believed them. Anyways I followed Noah out of the loud crowded room, dodging flying baked potatoes.

We walked pretty far…but the school was huge. We entered the woods next to the school. When we finally stopped it was at a large oak tree with letters and hearts carved into it. Another 'legend of Wawanakwa Prep' I heard about. The soul tree they called it. Everyone hated the name but every person who carved their name into it stayed a couple forever and it was just part of the school. Plus tons of kids ditched classes and hung out there.

"Now why do you think I need a friend" Noah stared straight into my eyes and down my soul.

"Noah I am not the brightest kid I know but I am not stupid. You eat alone, you sit alone, and you never talk to people. I think you need a friend more than I do and I'm the new kid."

He looked down and he knew I was right."Can't lie and say you're wrong about me being alone but that doesn't mean I need a friend."

"But being alone is the…worst feeling ever. Don't you feel bad about being…all by yourself?" I couldn't really find my words.

"You wouldn't know what it feels like! What I feel like! I feel like I am standing in the middle of a crowded room screaming at the top of my lungs and nobody even looks up." Noah teared up…emotion how amazing.

"Trust me I would"

"So you do remember" I smirked
