Chapter Text
And with 3 votes, the next eliminated contestant will be..... noah!, that is, if it was an elimination tonight"
"what!?"
Both alejandro and noah say in unison as Owen squeals before tackling noah into a massive, rib-breakin, hug.
"I'm sorry, what?"
Noah finally managed to say after escaping owen's embrace, both alejandro and noah looked at Chris, who just shrugged he shoulders.
"Because, why not? You reaction on you guy's faces where priceless! Anyways, stay tuned for the next episode on total. Drama. World tour!" He pointed his finger at the camera before it cuts.
Noah, looks at Chris in confusion, alejandro stands there quite Taken aback at the plot twist, Owen, who's just calmed down—now knowing his best buddy gets the stay for another day. Tyler was shocked at first but soon forgot about the moment and started warming up for- who knows what, as for duncan, he can be seen heading out to what noah could only assume the confessional, in which noah didnt pay any mind to.
As the camera crew make there way out. Chris calls some interns before hearing them sigh and scramble away as Chris laughs as he leaves the economy class, reminding noah how hard it was to be one of Chris's assistant back then.
Not long after, he's sees tyler heading to the confessional, not paying much mind to it once again, he sits down on the bench, where he makes eye contact with non other then.
Alejandro
The boy was glaring darts, no, arrows straight through his head, noah could only roll his eyes and face the other way, alejandro mirroring his movement aswell
The shorter boy picks up his book and stares at the pages, a way of distracting himself from the thickening tension across the room, no one dared to make a sound, even Owen had noticed the suffacting atmosphere
Moments after, tyler can be seen stumbling back, his arm holding his other hand as he had this wary, yet anxious look on his face, noah took a mental note of that, who knows, it might let him last another day on the miserable plane.
Something suddenly clicked in is mind.
"Wait a minute, how could tyler had gone to the confessional, confessed, and come back in the span of around 30 seconds? It normally takes 20 seconds to get there and back, meaning he had no time to actually speak in there, not if his path was blocked, judging on how he looked anxious while coming back, I could only assume that he had saw/heard something he shouldn't, perhaps he had overheard one of Chris's plans? No, Chris had left long ago... but so has duncan, who has yet to arrive back, so my prediction is, that as tyler went to the confessional, he had opened the door on accident, since the lock on the confessional had recently been broken, which I have a gut feeling it was Chris's idea to break it for someone to accidently walk into someone saying or doing something for more 'drama', plus, tyler is genuinely a good guy, I doubt he go all his way out just to unlock a door, anyways, as he opens it he sees duncan, who I can assume went to the confessional early, doing or saying something that had caught tyler so off guard, making him return early and petrified then ever. Although, this is all just a theory, a game theory.(hehe.... a matpat reference in the big 25?)
Noah had been thinking for quite some time, because by the time he had looked up, everyone was already asleep, well, except alejandro and Owen, it seems that duncan had already arrived back and is already drifted away.
"Noah buddy, are you okay?"
The other raises an eyebrow
"Why do you ask?"
He puts his book down and leans against the benches wall.
"Because every time your overthink, you have the this strange very very focused face, which I sometimes find funny"
"Is that so? Anyways, yeah I'm okay, but just to check if I'm not just being schizophrenic, but did you see the expression on Tyler's face earlier when he came back?"
Owen was confused about the random question but answered anyways.
"I didn't really pay attention much, but I think he looked kinda, scared?it might just be me though"
"No no big guy I totally agree with you, I was just thinking what could be the cause of him looking so nervous"
Noah sighs as he takes off his glasses to hold the bridge of his nose.
Owen just stares at noah for a second before blurting out
"Your eyes look pretty without your glasses you know?"
The boy almost chokes on air after the random confession.
"My eyes what?"
Owen then giggles at the other boys response before speaking up
"Not in a weird way, I just think you face changes completely when you remove them, especially your eyes"
He says awkwardly, stumbling on his words
"Just go to sleep big guy, we've got a long day tomorrow"
He says as he closes his eyes, knowing damn well there's a 5% chance that he'll actually get any sleep once more.
Owen just agrees before dozzing off seconds later, a surprising yet amusing skill if you'd ask him, which he is jealous of knowing that he can barely sleep on days such as today.
Noah decides to just closes his eyes in hopes of accidently falling asleep aswell.
Alejandro pov:
I notice noah and Owen talking amongst themselves before dozing off, though I didn't hear everything completely, I did hear them mention tyler and confessional, which just increases thr chances of my theory bring true, my theory bring that tyler had saw something he shouldn't had in the confessional, hence why he came back so anxious, but I can't wrap my finger around why.
I decided to get up and go to the confessional, needing to let all my thoughts out, I was told 'the more stress and thoughts you keep in your head, the more your youth disintegrates', was what my brother Carlos used to say to me before he moved out.
As I headed to the confessional, I could see that it was now dark, but we flying across another country, meaning that we aren't going overseas this time, I could only guess that we are going to another place in Europe.
I entered the confessional and locked the door behind me, though I doubt anyone Is awake right now, I shouldn't take the chances and leave it unlocked.
Looking at the camera as I sat down, I finally spoke.
"Tonight sure was a surprise to me, the duncan guy came back, which I didn't know was possible to come back, and how noah had escaped elimination"
I paused for a moment
"Well, he's not going to last long as I now have gained an alliance with tyler, and it won't take long for duncan to join me on voting noah next round, that is if we lose of course, as much as I want noah out.i also don't want to be stuck in economy class for another restless night. But like I said, if we do somehow end up losing, noah can Bésame el culo, adiós!"
A smirk appears on my face, knowing there was was a chance to get rid of a big potential threat from him winning the million.
I make my way back to the economy class, but on my way back my smirk faded into a frown.
Why was I so worked up about the fact noah escaped elimination?
I mean, we where fine until London, infact, I would say he was the closes I had to a 'friend' on this show, I mean, we got on pretty well every other episode, but why am I angry?
...
Oh right I could I forget.
"I don't trust the guy"
"He's like an eel dipped in grease swimming in motor oil"
"Dirty?"
"Slippery, think about it, he's like Heather, but only with social skills"
That was Why.
I don't know why I'm so offended by this, I've been called worse by jośe, but that comment coming from noah stings, almost hurts.
Which It shouldn't since I shouldn't care about anyone on the show, no, not like this, ah what will jośe think about this? He would probably mock me for trusting someone so much.
Calm down alejandro, he's not here right now, cálmate cálmate.
I sigh as I go back to my original seat and lean back, hoping to get some amount of rest before the next challenge.
I sure do hope I get somewhere next challenge.
