school had been shut down, and yet, dounya still felt eyes burning into her back, like she would have felt in the corridors of the school building. people were staring, she was fairly certain. she didn’t like it. her hands resting on her stomach ( the most comfortable, and strangely comforting place to keep them ), dounya turned around, noticing someone not too far away. “what are you staring at ??” she snapped.
“not you — believe it or not, dounya, you’re not always the center of attention. ” he replied in an equally snappy tone. noel hadn’t been the nicest guy before the shit show, he surely wasn’t a changed guy now. the old ladies at church had told him he had been given a second chance and he was destined for bigger things and the pastor had reminded him that everything happened because god wanted him to, but noel didn’t see it. it was his fault, he knew everyone else thought so.
There she was, alone, cold, and utterly pissed that the PTA meeting chose to be at the one place that has been her sanctuary ever since the shooting. Ava sat on the steps, debating on whether she should studying right then and there. She thought she heard footsteps and also felt herself wanting to get up and flee. “Don’t bother going in. There’s a meeting and they don’t like people eavesdropping.”
his steps up the stairs slowed to a halt as he heard her words. his shoulders dropped and he turned, giving a disappointed sigh as he took a seat next to her. “great.” he muttered. his dad couldn’t have cared less about the town, or the shooting — or him. noel doubted his dad even knew that his son had been wounded. he shook his head, saying, “all i want is some peace and quiet.”
May it be deliveries or all-nighters, her life was always in a stress-inducing chaotic order. She handled it just fine–until the shooting occured. Now Norah found herself distressed at every moment, tapping her pen furiously against the corner of the table. Nothing she’d studied that day had stuck in her mind at all. In frustration, she groaned. “Gah!”
first day back and noel was already studying. he had hoped that after EVERYTHING the teachers would give him a little leeway, maybe an extension — but he was right back to the grind. noel didn’t know if he’d be able to play again — it was a “minor” injury, but the doctors said his shoulder had some damage. he looked up at norah in annoyance, his day was already bad, was it too much to ask to study in silence? “can it.” he snapped.
“wait, don’t step there.” Regan bolted towards the other, “I’m trying to recreate uh, the scene for an assignment and maybe- maybe find out who’s behind everything y’know.” she reasoned, “tough job.”
“RECREATING the scene? it’s been less than a month.” he stated bluntly. he gave the girl a glare before taking a big step into the ‘scene’ and gestured with his left hand. “you have over two dozen witnesses, i don’t think you need to recreate the scene.”
hello hello i am v v v excited to be here and FINALLY get back into the swing of tumblr rping since i’ve been gone for like a YEAR but i’m BACK and i get to rp KJ APA my true husband tbh? but yea yea enough abt me lets move on to noel.

BULLET POINT BIO AKA THE RUNDOWN
to adults: golden football hero, church going, rule complying, baby kissing boy. to students/kids: fake ass, peer pressuring ass, rude ass, football playing, red headed lookin’ ass.
golden boy cuz i kinda imagine him as the small town football star that everyone loves because you know how much these lil towns love high school football ( i mean i should know ). he cares about his image very much because his dad is the town drunk and deadbeat, so he works hard to be the cool kid @ school.
he was ONE of samuel’s bully, i don’t wanna say he was the ONLY bully but people follow what noel does and when sam started getting picked on and his jock friends were like: what’re you gonna do about it huh and noel you know — typical jock — started picking on sam for funsies. he didn’t necessarily ENJOY doing it, but nobody was getting on his case about NOT doing it.
during the incident, noel got shot by samuel — nothing major, since he’s alive and well, but his arm is currently in a sling cuz his shoulder was hit.
is guilty!boy because he knows he’s one to blame for the shit show.
he WANTS to be a good guy because he grew up without kind parents, but he also cares too much about his REPUTATION so he kinda just becomes a bad guy that way basically.
does that make sense.
PERSONALITY
KINDHEARTED, AMBITIOUS
kindhearted because like stated above, grew up without kind parents and originally wanted to just be a nice guy to everyone, but as he grew up in high school and made friends on the football team, the pressure to be a DICK was outstanding to be cool so that kinda happened. ambitious because he doesn’t just wanna be the kid of the town drunk and he’s constantly striving for better.
COMPLIANT, OBLIVIOUS
compliant because he will EASILY give into peer pressure in order to keep his reputation and will rly do anything. oblivious because he’s rly dumb and never saw the damage because he was like: i’m just teasing right. what a dummy.
TL;DR : he’s THAT guy that you either love or hate that’s it.
WANTED CONNECTIONS:
i have posts in my wanted connections tag that i would rly like so hmu there ;)
the ride or die? noel’s best friend or someone that he’s known his whole life and maybe they glo’d together or something?
exes or one night stands are always super super fun imo too like imagine how AWKARD!
enemies because noel’s not the bEST, so hmu?
sry that this got rly long but hmu for plots because this should be rly fun!
I don’t believe in love at first sight but I do believe in seeing someone from across the room and knowing instantly that they’re going to matter to you.
