CODYS POV

I walked out of the cafeteria.

Feeling disappointed that Noah basically flaked on me for who knows what?

I kicked a rock that's in front of me to only see somebody kick it back.

They had black shoes on, well black boots and black stockings.

I looked up to see Gwen. Ah yes! Gwen, my crush. I like Gwen! Not Noah, obviously. I'm a lady's man!

"Hey Cody! What's up?"

"Oh nothing much, I'm just having a problem.."

"What problem?"

"Well, I think it'll be better if we're more in a more comfortable zone, where nobody is around."

"Oh! sure sure."

Me and Gwen head to the forest and onto the mountains. That's mostly where nobody goes to.

"So what's the prob?" Gwen asked

"Well.. It's about Noah. Y'know the guy who's barely talkative and such."

"Mhm. I've seen you guys talk so you guys are close friends."

"Yeah. Well, the thing is, I think I like Noah."

"Like a best friend? Y'know Cody, having a guy as a bestfriend isn't even ba-"

"No. I mean... I-"

"You what?" Gwen asked confused.

"I like Noah romantically?"

Gwen gasped.

"Really? So you're gay Cody?!" Gwen said loudly, surprised.

"SHUSHHH!" I said to Gwen.

"Oops, sorry!" Gwen covers her mouth a bit.

"No I'm not gay, well maybe? I don't know okay? I hang out with Noah a lot but my heart says I like him while my mind says no!"

"Well Cody. I cant decide what you feel but I can tell you this. Listen to the heart. The heart is way stronger than the mind when it comes to feelings."

I sat in silence for a while..

"Thanks Gwen." I hugged her lightly

"No prob." Gwen said hugging back, smiling.

I turned around to my back to see Trent

"Uh oh-"

"What's wrong?" Gwen said.

"I lied to Trent saying I would be cleaning the cabin." I sat up. "I better get going before I get caught"

"Alright" Gwen said sit sitting on the mountain, looking at Trent.

"Cya! And thanks again Gwen!" I said quickly getting off the mountains.

I walked from the mountains to the cabin, It'll take a while but at least I have time to think.

Do I really like Noah?

Nah! I couldn't. I mean come on. It's only been almost a week we've been on here. No way.

I keep walking to the cabin in denial that I liked Noah. I mean, there's no way!

But Gwen did say to listen to my heart...

BACK TO NOAHS POV

When I wake up, it's still noon. I guess I slept for a little.

I looked at the clock on the wall, seeing that it's 3pm.

I yawn as I get a book from the side of my bed. About to read.

I looked around to mostly see everybody in the cabin expect Cody.

I wonder where he is...

Wait. Why do I care? Nothing much of mine concern.

I shrugged. Knowing that I cared regardless.

I read my book called "Pinocchio."

I hear a conversation of Beth, Lindsay and Heather.

I hear the word "alliance."

I guess Heather is making an alliance with the dumbest people here, maybe a smart move?

On top of my bunk bed was Gwen. Just sitting their. I don't even know what she's doing..

The book I'm reading is about a guy and another guy.

Yes I'm into BL stories! (Boy Love)

My mind kept thinking about Cody and wondering where he was...

I was about to go to bed.

But I realized that Cody still wasn't here? Where was he? It was midnight

I got up and left the cabin, looking around to see Cody at a campfire.

I walk slowly but only to hear these words.

"I-I'm"

"I'm gay..?!"

That's what I hear from Cody's mouth. I was confused, but I guess happy that Cody found his sexuality.

I walked up to Cody, tapping him on the shoulder.

He gasped and he turned around quickly to check who was there.

"O-oh! Hey Noah.."

"Hey. How come you're out here? Y'know we have a challenge tomorrow?"

"Yeah.. Well... I was just trying to figure things out..."

"Things like what?" I said, knowing that he was figuring out his sexuality but I just wanted to know if he trusted me with this.

"Just if I... I..."

"If I should eat Chef's food!" Cody awkwardly laughed

"Ah.." I said.

"Well, we should go to bed, shouldn't we?" I said.

"Yeah.. Let's go! But after we put the fire out"

Me and Cody put out the fire with water from the lake and went to bed.

THE NEXT DAY

Chris ways of waking us up are horrible I swear.

I feel cold wet oatmeal on me as Chef threw it on all of us in the cabin with a big spoon from a gray pot.

"What the hell Chef?!" Gwen said

"Don't complain. It's breakfast"

"Yeah but ON US?!"

Chef shrugged as he walked out saying "Meet at the forest in 30"

Everybody groaned, I mean, we just woke to oatmeal in the face. The only person I see enjoying it is Owen.

I quickly get up to go to the bathroom stall to get rid of this oatmeal but I could already see Heather rushing.

I ran as quickly as possible.

I mean, something you wouldn't know about me is that I used to be apart of the track team.

I ran faster than Heather and everybody else going to go into the stall first.

"HURRY UP TWINK" I hear Heather say.

"I came here first so beat it and wait!"

I could Heather growl and leave the line to the bathroom stall.

It only took me 2 minutes. Geez, what a drama queen.

I get out of the stall and see Beth next in line.

I walk to the forest knowing it'll take a while.

I see Cody last in line and, I cant believe I'm doing this but..

I gave Cody a paper towel that was still wet, telling him to follow me.

"It'll take a while to get to the forest any who." I whispered.

"Alright, let's go!" Cody said cheerily wiping himself with the paper towel walking with me down the hill.

Honestly, I don't know why I did that. Maybe I felt bad for him being in the back?

But why him?

Owen and Leshawna were also in the back but I didn't say anything..

As Me and Cody are walking to the forest, he asked me something odd.

"D-do you have a girlfriend back at home?"

I was taken aback. I mean, obviously I don't have anybody but the fact Cody asked that was... weird?

"I don't. And I'm actually gay since you didn't notice."

"Really?" Cody smiled a bit but it quickly became straight, seemed like he didn't want to get caught smiling.

"Yeah.. Have a problem with that?" As I ball my left hand into a fist putting it in front of his face.

I feel like I'm doing an Eva move.

"No! I don't." Cody said as he moved my fist slowly out of his face.

"Good.."

We continue walking as it became more awkward and awkward. I mean y'know I'm not a talking person but damn was this awkward as hell.

"So what's your favorite music genre?" I asked nervously..

"Oh! I loveee Hip-hop! and rap, oh and Rock! Did I also mention that I also love K-pop?"

As Cody went on with his music genres, I found myself just tuning everything out. By the time I knew it, we were already at the challenge area.

"What took you two so long" Owen asked

"Oh we just got a bit lost" Cody nervously said scratching his neck

I got back to reality and turned around to see us at the challenge area. Already?!

"ALRIGHT CAMPERS. FACE ME! And look at my handsome face" Chris said.

"Barf" Trent said

"As if!" Heather Said

"Any who" Chris said.

"Today's challenge is about survival" Chris said pointing at the sky.

"You will be surviving in the woods for 24 hours! You're team will all come back here in one piece. Whoever's team comes here first wins the challenge!"

"What if we die?!" Lindsay said.

"Lindsay... There's no way Chris would make us die on TV!" Gwen said patting her shoulder.

"Oh yes Chris would!" Chris said smiling.

"Chef. Bring out the bears!"

"B-BEARS?!" Everybody said.

Chef get's two bears from the cage and let's then out freely. Both teams start running in different directions.

Chef and Chris are crazy! Maybe just Chris since Chef is just paid to do this crap.

We all ran for about 3 minutes.

Stopping at a comfortable spot.

Of course. Lindsay collapsed. Not surprised.

"Alright! We all need to find a place to stay at, or at least a comfortable one." Leshawna said

"Oh like that wasn't obvious." Heather said

"At least I'm making conversation."

"Anyway. I will be giving you guys roles on what to do so we can win this." Heather said.

"Lindsay and Beth. you're with me to find a place to stay"

"Justin and Leshawna are on weapon duty."

"Noah, Cody and Owen are on food duty."

"And everybody else can basically do whatever. Just make sure to meet here before sunset" Heather said.

Surprisingly. Everybody, even Leshawna and Gwen agreed, in all means we just wanted to win the challenge.

Me, Cody and Owen started going in a another direction, we didn't know where we were going but we just needed to find food.

"Can't believe Chris are really gonna make us starve if we don't find anything" Owen said sadly putting his hands on his stomach

"Mhm.." I said

We continued walking till Cody noticed some berries

"Hey guys! Check these out" Cody said, running to the berries .

Me and Owen follow Cody to see blue berries on a bush.

As Cody's bending down trying to pick to berries one by one. I'm just behind him, watching him and Owen pick berries. Well to be exact. Cody picking berries and Owen eating some while picking. The berries aren't even washed?! Does Owen really love his food THAT much?!

Cody turns around to his back, as if he was feeling somebody their.

Their was somebody behind him.

Me.

When he turned around, our faces were one cementer from each other.

I could see Cody blushing as he asked me if I had any water in the backpack I was carrying.

I nodded. Turning around to open my back to get some bottled water. Luckily I have two. But I won't tell anybody that! Sharing is for losers.

I turned back to Cody, being one cementer from each other in our faces..

I handed him the bottled water, looking unfazed. While in reality, I was nervous and hot as hell could ever be.

"T-thanks.." Cody said as he opened the bottled water to wash the berries. Owen gave Cody the berries he had left. Which was like 10. May I say that Owen had 90 berries in his palm the first time I looked at him.

Cody had put the berries in this small bad he had.

Cody turned to face me.

The second Cody turned he looked terrified. I was confused. Do I have something on me?

I turned to see a bear.

"BEAR!" I screamed as we all ran straight.

As we ran we saw the Running Trains.

Duncan and Courtney and arguing, they'll most likely hook up like in all those dramas.

DJ and Eva were talking? Isn't DJ a softie and Eva a hard rock egg? Weird

I couldn't see the rest but I continued to run with Owen and Cody.

I could see Cody slowing down, also Owen. I wanted to help both but come on. With Owen and his weight there's no way we'll all be fast enough.

I grabbed Cody's hand as we kept running in a circle for a few. I could feel Cody's hand sweating in under a minute.

Eventually, the bear went away after a deer came in. Let's hope that deer is safe from the bear.

By the time we were done running, the sun was setting down.

We ran in circles to the point where we were at the same meeting point.

I'm surprised Lindsay didn't get lost as I see everybody here already.

"I assume everybody got everything so follow me to where we'll sleep" Heather said as we all followed in silence.

We all followed Heather to this cabin, it kind of looked the same as ours but more rusty.

"Alright everybody! Get in."

Honestly I thought we would be sleeping in a cave but this is somewhat better.

The cabin barely had anything, only some bananas, fish and blankets, no pillows.

CODYS POV

As time passed by, it was already night.

Lindsay just fell asleep 20 minutes ago and Noah fell asleep already.

I look at Noah, smiling in his sleep. I smile a bit.

"Cute." I said silently.

I covered my mouth, hoping nobody hear me.

I lay down next to Noah as he moved a bit closer to me.

The next thing I know, Noah KISSED ME! HE KISSED ME!

I kissed back as Noah's holding the side of my face.

"I love you. I've always have" Noah said unexpectedly "I just can't hold it in anymore!"

"Awww Noah. But what's with the sudden confession?" I asked.

"I-I just realized my true feelings for you." He said looking into my eyes...

We almost went into a second kiss until...

Before I knew it. It was the next morning, somebody was shaking me.

IT WAS A FUCKING DREAM! DAMN IT! I usually don't curse that much but I was so excited for Noah to accepting my feelings, but do I even have feelings for him?

I wake up to see Noah putting me on his back.

"Come on Cody! We have to go before we lose!" Noah said.

"QUICKLY!" Leshawna and Heather said as we all ran to where the challenge began.

We all ran to the arena as we see that Running Trains was already there.

"We win!" Courtney said. "No need to wait for them."

"Actually Courtney there's 2 people missing from running trains."

Me and Noah cheered knowing that we won. Phew, that would've gone bad if we lost.

Sadie and Katie quickly run here as their team gives them a death stare.

"Oops sorry!" Sadie said.

"Like we both totally got lost and got chased by two chimpanzees and it was sooo crazy!" Katie said.

Their teams faces were straight, some like Duncan, growling.

"Congratulations Shooting Stars, you're safe from elimination! Running trains... I'll see you at the bone fire." Chris said walking away with Chef.

The running trains already knew who their voting off.

I think Noah forgot that he was carrying me on his back...

I smiled a bit as Noah struggled to continue to walk with me.

"What's the problem? You're to weak Noah?" I laughed at my own joke.

"N-no! May you know I was the fastest runner on my track team mister."

As everybody walked off, I see Izzy swinging throughout the trees.

"Aww you guys are so cute!" Izzy said swinging away.

"HUH!?" Noah said as he collapsed surprised.

I laughed till I realized that...

Me and Noah...

ARE KISSING!?

HAHAHAHA I LOVE THIS CHAPTER SO MUCH 3
