Chapter 5: One Exciting Day of Ditching
It was a week after Noah and Blaineley's first date. Noah was in his room reading when
Izzy came in. The redhead yelled, "Hi Noah! It's another aftermath show today!" Noah
replied sarcastically, "Wow. That's so awesome. Who's the victim this time?" Izzy told
him, "It's Tyler and Courtney. They both quit the show." Even though Noah seemed
calm, he was about to be startled. Izzy asked, "So, what did you do last week?" Noah
replied, "Be more specific, please." Izzy yelled, "You know, when you came back at 9:30
p.m. on Friday night." Noah told her, "Nothing happened. Look, I have to go." Noah left
his room and went to Blaineley's. She opened the door. "Hi, Noah. It's a beautiful day for
gossip on the aftermath show!" He said, "I wonder if Courtney will kick, scream, and
cry." Then, he kissed her cheek. Blaineley carried Noah into her room. He sat down a
chair, as she closed the door. "Noah, listen. Geoff and Bridgette hate me. They might hate
you for telling off Geoff last week." Noah explained, "I told off Geoff because it's not
fair how they treat you. You're just doing your job of getting gossip and dishing dirt."
Blaineley smiled and said, "Thanks, Noah. You're a good boyfriend. I have an idea. Let's
have a ditch date!" Noah questioned, "What's that?" She explained, "We ditch the show
and do whatever we want. We'll have to sneak out of here, since guards are at the doors
on aftermath show days." Right at that moment, an intern came in and said, "5 minutes,
you guys." Noah saw an air vent behind a table. "We can go through here," he thought.
Blaineley told him, "Scheming and sneaking around. We're so alike!" However, Tyler
was walking in the hallway and said, "Wow. Noah talks in a girl voice?" Meanwhile,
Courtney saw Tyler and said, "My lawyers will sue Gwen and Duncan. What are you
doing?" The weak jock told her, "I heard Noah talking in a girl voice about ditches."
Courtney asked, "Are you sure? You're really bad at many things, you know. Let's just
go down to the studio." Meanwhile, in the air vent, Blaineley and Noah were searching
for an escape route. "I see light!" Noah shouted. However, they went sliding down the air
duct, and they landed in a dumpster. Blaineley and Noah got clean, and were in the
parking lot. "Let's take my car!" she insisted. They drove to her house. Blaineley opened
the door. Noah gasped and said, "this place looks very nice and big." Blaineley giggled
and said, "I'm glad it's amazing to you. Where should we go for the hour?" Noah
questioned, "The beach, I guess. It's a nice day out." Blaineley went upstairs to look for
something. Noah found a basket in her kitchen. The fridge was a nice size. He thought,
"After the beach, w can go on a picnic. I'll grab the stuff that she likes." Blaineley came
downstairs and asked with charm, "Well? Do you like it?" Noah turned and his face was
red with his blushing. She had on a red bikini, lipstick, and a pink bow in her hair. "You
look amazing. Wow!" She had a blue dress in her shopping bag, too. "We're having a
picnic, too?" she asked. "Not just any picnic, Blaineley. It's a romantic, moonlight picnic.
They left the house, and made it to the beach. Noah set up an umbrella for them.
Afterwards, Blaineley put sunscreen on him. "What about you?" he asked. "I want to
have a nice tan for you," she replied. Noah got the sunscreen bottle and put sunscreen on
her, anyway. As they were talking, three guys came along. The red haired guy asked,
"Hey, babe. Do you want to hang with some real guys for a while?" Noah, obviously
offended, told him, "Back off and get away from my girlfriend." The three guys laughed.
"Oh, yeah? What are you going to do, shrimp?" Then, he threw a boomerang. Noah
caught it. Wanting revenge, he angled the boomerang. Then, he threw it. The boomerang
hit the first guy, knocked out the second, and struck the third. Noah sarcastically said,
"Wow. Tough guys are strong." Blaineley cheered. "Noah, that was fantastic! Your fans
would go crazy!" Noah laughed and replied, "Please. Sierra only blogs about Cody on
Fred's List, Spyspace, and Lacebook." Meanwhile, at the aftermath show, Geoff was
interviewing Courtney. He said, "All right, Courtney. What do have to say about Gwen?"
Courtney glared at him and replied, "She's a boyfriend kisser!" Bridgette noticed
something. The surfer girl asked, "Geoff, where's Noah?" He looked around and replied,
"Strange. The dude's not here. Hey, where's Blaineley?" Tyler commented, "I heard
Noah talking in a girl's voice about ditches and air vents." Courtney harshly told him,
"Are you sure he didn't say he was going to ditch the show?" Just then, Geoff thought
back to Friday. Bridgette also remembered that night. Geoff yelled, "Noah came back at
9:30 p.m. that night, dudes!" Bridgette shouted, "Blaineley came back at that time, also!"
Geoff asked, "Isn't it weird that neither one is here right now?" Courtney intervened and
said, "Geoff, stop. It's probably a coincidence." On the other side of town, Noah and
Blaineley went to an ice cream shop. "Let's get strawberry. It's pink like the color of
hearts," Blaineley told Noah. The clerk said, "It comes with free heart-shaped cookies."
They sat down at a table and ate the bowl of ice cream with two spoons. Then, Noah
kissed Blaineley on the lips. She said, "You're so nice, like this ice cream." Next, a
familiar face came in. "Hi, guys. It's good to see you again." Noah said, "Hey, Shane."
Shane told them, "I got something for you guys." It was a coupon to any restaurant in
town. Blaineley shouted, "Wow! 95% off? We can use it any day of the year as many
times as we want?" It was 3 p.m. Noah thanked Shane, and they left. Meanwhile, in the
aftermath studio, Geoff moved on to interview Tyler. "Where's Lindsay?" the jock asked.
Geoff told him, "She's in the cafeteria." Anyway, Bridgette called Noah on her cell
phone. While that happened, it was 4:45 p.m. when Blaineley and Noah had their picnic
in the park. Noah explained, "I brought sandwiches, sodas, cake, and I ordered a pizza for
us." Blaineley cheered, "You know me so well, my handsome Noah. I love you." Right at
that moment, Noah received a call. "Hello?" he asked. "Noah, it's Bridgette? Where are
you?" He looked at Blaineley for an answer. "I'm in a town called You Don't Need To
Know." Then, he hung up. They started eating. When they were finished, it was 7:30
p.m. Blaineley told Noah, "Geoff will be furious. Bridgette will be too." Noah
commented, "As if we should care what they think about us." Finally, they made it to the
aftermath show's parking lot. Noah said, "Today was the best ditch day I've ever had,
Blaineley. Your blue dress is great, by the way." She gave him a kiss on the lips and
hugged him after that. "You were awesome, Noah. Today was full of drama! It was the
best." They said good night to each other and entered 2 doors, like last time. However,
when Blaineley entered, Bridgette asked, "You! Where were you? Why are you wearing
that dress, anyway? Blaineley shot back and replied, "Mind your own drama, surfer girl."
On the other side, Noah was being yelled at by Geoff. "Dude! It's 8:23 p.m.! Where were
you?" Noah answered, "It's not your business, so stay out of it." As Blaineley went to her
room, Bridgette was still in the hallway. "Geoff and I will find out what's up with those
two. They look at each other, and they're never around when we need them." Meanwhile,
Noah went to Blaineley's room. He told her, "Look, if they talk to us alone, they'll know
something's up." Blaineley replied, "You can stay here." Noah gave her a present. It was
heart-shaped cookies. The cookies had "N+B" written in icing. Then, Noah fell asleep on
the couch. Blaineley gave him a kiss on the forehead. "Good night, Noah," she said.
