 MARIA CALISTA JIAO X NOEL RICARDIO KAVINSKY IV

 Cali and Noel become really close friends. They're obviously attracted to each other but Cali doesn't want a relationship. 

 Cali gets invited to a party by an acquaintance that she met during a music festival. Noel is in the same circle of friends with the guy hosting the party. They share a bottle of beer because Cali refuses to get drunk and Noel can't get drunk. Eventually these two talk and the party ends with them stargazing by the front lawn. Cali's brother calls her and she has to leave, Noel kisses her before she does. 

 Cali thirdwheels on Raf and Brad's date, despite their efforts to say it's a "family dinner". Raf decides to take them to the Tiki Grill and it just happens that it was during Noel's shift. While Cali is searching for the restroom, Noel exits the kitchen and they cross paths. And Noel looks damn hot in his uniform. Like really really. 

 Noel grabs Cali's face and makes it so she is facing him. "Kiss me."

Breathing heavily, Cali rolls her eyes. "Noel, can you no--" She attempts to move away but he tightens his grip on her face. "Ouch! Noel!"

"Kiss me," Noel repeats. "While everyone else is watching."

Cali's at a party and she knows absolutely no one except that girl Trina that invited her. So she's just leaning against the kitchen counter, drinking Rootbeer because no one's going to take her home so she can't afford to get drunk.

Noel enters the kitchen with a bunch of his friends, laughing. He spots Cali and their eyes meet.

Cali gets slightly startled when a group of boys enter the kitchen. One of them looks her way, she catches his eyes and she smiles hesitantly.

Noel smiles back at Cali. His friends are calling him back to the living room, he follows yet still keeping eye contact with Cali. When she's no longer in sight, he focuses on his friends.

When the guy was no longer in sight, Cali exhales and continues drinking her rootbeer. She takes out her phone and sees how late it was. She chuckles at herself, "god, I'm pathetic." She makes her way into the living room and out the door, she just kinda stands on the porch shaking the party vibes off when the guy from earlier steps in beside her.

Noel sees Cali leave and for some godforsaken reason, he follows after her. He finds her standing on the porch and stands right next to her. "Hey."

Cali smiles. "Hi."

"It's really loud in there, huh?"

"Yeah," Cali nods. "Parties are usually my thing. I just.. I don't know. I'm a little out of it."

"I see."

They spend a few moments in silence with Cali rubbing her arms, feeling the cold. She suddenly gets an idea, she goes down a small set of stairs until she's on the grass. Cali lays down on the grass.

Noel just stares at Cali and eventually joins her in laying down. "This is disappointing."

Cali erupts in fits of laughte. "I expected like.. stars and magical, whimsical feelings."

"The stars aren't in our favor tonight."

Cali sighs. "The stars were probably never in my favor, like ever."

"What do you mean?"

Cali takes a deep breath and turns to face him.

Noel does the same.

"You know how when we're kids, people always ask us what we want to be when we're older. And it's so easy to answer. 'I wanna be a doctor, so I can help people' then you get to high school and realize that taking that course for college takes so long and it costs so much. You also realize that 'fuck being a doctor, i want to be something I enjoy' like in the end, we want to do something that would do us good. Something we enjoy. But back then, it's so easy, they made life seem so easy. Then you grow up and you're slapped by reality that life sucks and it fucks you over." Cali says. "Even the realization of that fucks me over."

"When I was younger.. I wanted to be an astronaut," Noel lays on his back. "My grandfather immediately shot that dream down. He wanted me to become a businessman, so another Noel Kavinsky can look after the family business. That fucks you over."

Cali continues to face him, she stares at his face, at his features. "What do you want to be now?"

Noel laughs. "An architect."

"It must be nice to know what you want."

"You don't know what you want to be?"

Cali shakes her head. "I'm turning twenty and I still have no idea what my purpose in life is."

"So.. what course do you take if.."

Cali cuts him off. "I haven't been to college. My supposed gap year turned into years."

"Well, what are you interested in? What are your hobbies?"

"Watching How I Met Your Mother."

Noel chuckles. "Other than that."

Cali laughs along with him. "I swear. I have no idea, I'm like a lost child at the mall."

"A lost child that will eventually be found by it's parents and get home safely."

"Or kidnapped and killed."

"By an axe murderer."

Cali's eyebrows shoot up at the mention of 'axe murderer'. "Maybe the guy at the Help Center is the axe murderer."

"You can't be too careful."

"Oh my god," Cali exhales. "You're amazing."

"Huh?"

My youth is yours
