Playing Pretend Just Got A Lot Gayer: Chapter 13
Authors Note: First off I'd like to once again thank my beta 'DarkMindedThinker89' for editing this chapter! I can't thank you enough for taking time away from your own storys to edit mine; you rock! Alright, second, sorry for the wait. I'm slow and I've been writing for a different fandom; bad Poge, bad. Anyway we're getting close to the end, I'd guess 15 will be the last chapter, but I've been wrong before. Okay so on with the story, please reveiw and let me know what you think!
Heather's P.O.V.
As I make my way down to the pool I can't help but be curious about what Justin's planning. Normally I wouldn't concern myself with such things, but with this I was interested.
Justin and Noah have hated each other from day one so it doesn't surprise me that he's trying to pull something. What surprises me is that whatever he's doing involves Noah's room and his relationship.
Justin was the reason I was saying things to Cody about he and Noah's relationship at the sleepover. Justin thinks that they aren't really dating; I personally think he has a twisted attraction to Noah, but that's just a theory.
I guess it really doesn't matter what he's doing; in the end I'll benefit from whatever it is.
I made my way to the hot tub once I saw Cody and Noah. I noticed that their lips were pressed together and for a second I had to look around for a distraction. I saw Izzy snorkeling in the pool and figured she would work just as well as anyone.
I waited for her to surface before I called for her.
"Hey Izzy! Come here for a second!"
Izzy swam over and pulled herself out of the water to stand by me.
"Actually, it's Kaleidoscope now; isn't it pretty?"
"Yeah, it's totally fab!" I say trying to sound like I mean it despite the fact that Kaleidoscope is a stupid name. "Hey Kaleidoscope, I heard Cody talking earlier about how much fun he had hanging out with you the other night."
"Ahhh really, that's, like, so sweet!"
"Yeah, I'm sure he'd love to hang out again. Soon."
"Well, maybe I should go give him a break from Noah; I'd hate for him to get too worn out!"
"You go girl." I said as Izzy ran off toward Cody.
My plan is working perfectly. Things are too easy with idiots like this around. I watch as Izzy pulls Cody out of the pool and drags him away from a confused Noah. I watch as Eva begins to approach him and I know I need to hurry up. The last thing I need is to try and get rid of that gorilla.
"Hey Noah!" I say as I hurry to slink down into the hot tube.
"Heather." He says coldly.
"So how are you and Cody doing? Speaking of which, where is he?"
"We're fine and he's with Izzy."
"Hey Noah." Eva said walking up to us- well more Noah.
"Hey Eva, I can't talk- uhh, Heather and I are, umm-" I'm not sure why he is trying to avoid Eva, but I know that this is my chance.
"We're going to his room to talk about boys. Want to come?" I ask knowing that she wouldn't be caught dead in the same room as me.
"I'll pass-"
"Too bad! Come one Noah!" I say dragging Noah toward the hotel before Eva could add anything.
I keep dragging him until we reach the elevator and step inside. When the door closes he pulls out of my grip.
"Okay, what's you're game?" Noah asked glaring.
"I just helped you, I wouldn't be complaining." I say back just as coldly.
"You don't just help people for no reason. What do you want?"
Honestly? Your room key, but you don't need to know that.
"I want to help you out."
Noah looked at me doubtfully. "Oh really?"
"Justin's planning something."
"I already knew that."
"But do you know what he's planning?"
Noah glared at me for a moment before the elevator door opened on our floor.
"Do you know what he's planning?" Noah asked as we walked toward his room.
"I have an idea."
He takes his room key out of his pocket and unlocks the door.
"I don't trust you." Was all he told me, but he left his door open granting me entrance.
I walked in after him and watched him grab the dry clothes that he had left on his bed. He walked into his attached bathroom and quickly walked out to throw me a towel before going back into the room and locking the door.
I used the towel to dry off before sitting down on his bed. I have half a mind to snoop around, but what would a geek like Noah have worth seeing? Nothing of course.
A few minutes later he came back from the bathroom wearing his dry clothes. I watched him walk over and sit his room key on the stand beside his bed before sitting down beside me.
What a relief. I really didn't want to try and seduce my way into a gay man's pocket.
"Okay, tell me what you know about what Justin's up too." Noah inquires not wasting anytime.
"Pushy, aren't we?"
"Oh, my bad." Noah says sarcastically.
"I really don't know what Cody sees in you."
"That's what Cody said."
"That was part of Justin's plan."
"So you're working with him?"
"I was, but we had creative differences. He's working with Duncan now."
"What creative differences?"
"He wouldn't tell me what his big plan was. I don't like not knowing how things will turn out and I definitely don't like being told what to do."
Noah nodded. "Sounds like you, but that still doesn't explain why you're helping me."
"Justin wouldn't give into my demands so now I'm helping you; it's revenge at its finest." I say smirking.
"I see. So is that all you know?"
"At the moment, but I'm sure I can find out more."
"Okay then." Noah said standing up and walking toward the door.
While his back was turned I took my opportunity to grab his key from the bedside table and put it in my pocket.
Noah opened the door. "I guess I'll be seeing you later." He said giving me the eyes that said 'Get out'.
"I guess you will." I say before getting up and walking out with the key secure in my pocket. It was too easy.
Cody's P.O.V.
"I don't want to play anymore Kaleidoscope." I say gasping.
Izzy's been dragging me around for the better part of an hour. We've been playing game after game and currently we're playing Dinosaur Attack; a game of Izzy's own creation. Right now Izzy's the dinosaur and I'm the person being attacked.
For the record, it's not fun.
"Cody, you can't just stop playing! What if this happens for real one day and you just stop? The dinosaur will eat you! It'll be all like RAWR! And you'll be all like NOOO! But it won't matter because you'll end up in his stomach and then he'll digest you and you'll end up dino poo!" Izzy ranted on.
"Dinosaurs are extinct."
"That's what they want you to think!"
I've got to get out of here.
"Look, I think I'm going to find Noah, but Zeke and Owen are over there. I bet one of them will play with you." I say pointing to the area of the Playa that Owen and Zeke were playing cards at.
"Oh, I get it. You want to get back to your man." Izzy said giggling. "Okay, but keep it PG; at least until I get there!"
I blushed before heading up to the Playa away from Izzy.
I will admit that the first 20 minutes of hanging out with Izzy can actually be fun, but after that it's just exhausting.
I walk toward Noah's room wanting nothing more than to lie down beside him. I know I should probably go to my own room, but, well, I'm weak and I want to be with him right now. Besides when I saw him go off with Heather I got a little worried. She came back down; he never did.
I made it to his door and knocked waiting for him to answer. Noah opened the door a few seconds later.
"Hey." He said smiling and opening the door wider so that I can come in.
I smiled back before quickly walking into the room and lying down on his bed. He smirked at me before coming to lie down beside me.
"Izzy wore you out I presume?"
"Ever play Dinosaur attack?" He laughed.
"I'm so tired." I whined laying my head on his shoulder.
"So go to sleep genius." He said smirking before putting an arm around me casually.
"Turn the light off."
"What am I, your slave?" He asks before complying and turning off the lamp that was lighting up the room.
"Thanks." I say before closing my eyes.
"Yeah, yeah." He says defectively, but I can tell he's smiling and even that means a lot
Justin's P.O.V.
"So you got the key?"
"Why else would I be here?" Heather snapped at me.
"Just give it to me." Heather has to be the most annoying woman on the planet.
"No problem." She says pulling the key out of her pocket. "Just don't forget our deal."
"Believe me, I won't." I say rolling my eyes as she walks out the door.
I'm never working with her again.
