Noelle/Carl
I ship these two, honest, I do! It's just that I ship Blake/Carl so much more that it's hard to write this. :/ I think, in the end, Carl just wanted to be friends. Or, at least, that's what I like to think. Meh. I hope you like it anyways. This one isn't so good. :( I just really wanna go to bed, I guess. X)
When he tried to make her disappear, there were two things he hadn't thought about.
Her family. Wouldn't they notice? Certainly they would, if she meant anything to them. Chances are, if her parents started searching for her, Hoodsey would make him fess up. Hoodsey was always a sucker for doing the right thing. Well, at least, most of the time. But, maybe that would solve everything. If he told her parents, they would be able to pay for the reversal potion, right?
Her in general. He only realized too late that she was his female equal. They were exactly the same...well, almost. Other from her powers and extra added weirdness, they pretty much evened out. Why did he choose someone who was barely seen in the first place? He should have chosen Higsby, like Hoodsey suggested. The quiet ones are always the weirdos!
It was a miracle when Mrs. Gordon told him that she had merely transferred schools.
He was grateful that he was given a chance to get to know her. Noelle was everything he could ever wish for. He hadn't been looking for a girlfriend, but as soon as he found her, he felt like their connection together was much more. Maybe he didn't love her, but he could admit to a crush, for certain. She had a crush on him two, thus beginning their relationship. His mother liked Noelle and Ginger wasn't around as often to really meet her, but Ginger did say something about liking her name. So that must've meant Ginger liked her a little.
But Noelle kissed Hoodsey. Carl knew that she didn't mean any harm by it, and Hoodsey sure didn't ask for it, but he couldn't help feeling jealous. That was his girlfriend, and they hadn't even kissed yet. Was that Noelle's first kiss? Carl would've rather he been her first kiss. He decided to leave before he started arguing. It was for the best.
But, in the end, he got beck together with Noelle. After his two best friends chased him down in the freezing snow and nearly lost their lives when the ice beneath their feet cracked, Noelle apologized. She admitted the kiss was only an act of feeling neglected; she was trying to get his attention by making him jealous.
And she kissed him.
It was in that moment that Carl didn't really feel anything for the girl anymore. It wasn't that the kiss wasn't any good; no, that kiss was spectacular! Carl just didn't feel like his was interested in the type of drama having a girlfriend brought on. This must be how Ginger felt all the time, and suddenly, Carl felt bad for her. Ah, speak of the Devil. Ginger happened to be speeding by on a snow mobile, seeing them at the last moment and turning the mobile around to offer them a ride to the train station.
But Carl decided not to tell Noelle. It was a good thing she couldn't read minds and he was good at lying. If it were any other case, she would pick up on it. Carl knew that relationships didn't last forever, so maybe her feelings would slowly diminish as well and they could just be friends.
Maybe he could somehow make these feelings disappear like he had done to Noelle.
That would be a miracle.
