noah   park   was   never   one   to   follow   the   crowd   .     sure   ,   she   was   born   with   a   silver   spoon   in   her   mouth   ,   grew   up   in   the   heart   of   lincoln   city   where   ambition   and   excellence   were   practically   genetic   to   the   park   family   …     but   noah   ?     she   never   conformed   to   their   expectations   .     always   chasing   after   her   own   passions   ,   driven   by   her   own   unique   ambitions   ,   and   striving   for   her   own   definition   of   excellence   .   

this   isn’t   to   say   she   wasn’t   spoiled   or   entitled   —   she   was   both   ,   undeniably   .   

but   she   always   wanted   to   make   her   own   mark   ,   to   break   the   mold   and   become   something   different   ,   something   entirely   her   own   .

so   ,   she   poured   her   energy   into   dance   ,   becoming   a   recognized   prodigy   who   dominated   the   high   school   dance   scene   .     her   dance   skills   overshadowed   her   mediocre   academic   performance   ,   and   her   supreme   confidence   masked   a   subtle   disdain   for   others   .     she   exuded   that   “ too   cool   for   school ”   vibe   ,   rejecting   the   cheerleading   squad   she   could   have   easily   dominated   ,   viewing   it   as   a   cliché   beneath   her   talents   .

her   unapologetically   blunt   demeanor   and   air   of   indifference   remained   unshaken   even   when   chris   wilder   disappeared   .     she   didn’t   bat   a   goddamn   eye   .     she   wasn’t   about   to   lose   sleep   over   some   guy   she   didn’t   even   like   .     and   ,   well   ,   she   didn’t   write   the   stupid   dare   .     why   should   she   care   ?     noah   was   all   about   noah   ,   end   of   story   .   

𝐢𝐢.     𝐭𝐡𝐞   𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕   .

and   noah   …   well   ,   noah   is   still   all   about   noah   .   

after   high   school   ,   her   undeniable   talent   took   her   straight   to   the   hallowed   halls   of   juilliard   in   new   york   city   ,   where   she   pursued   a   rigorous   dance   career   .   she   graduated   and   snagged   a   few   roles   in   broadway   shows   ,   each   one   solidifying   further   her   reputation   as   a   bit   of   …   a   diva   .   the   tabloids   ate   it   up   ,   reporting   on   every   tantrum   and   fashion - forward   misstep   .   but   hey   ,   her   talent   on   stage   always   seemed   to   compensate   for   everything   else   ,   so   people   put   up   with   it   .

until   they   didn’t   .

a   few   months   ago   ,   she   landed   the   role   of   a   lifetime   in   a   major   broadway   production   ,   marking   the   peak   of   her   career   .   but   before   the   curtain   even   rose   ,   during   the   rehearsals   and   pre - production   chaos   ,   she   got   the   boot   .

(   and   honestly   ,   it   wasn’t   entirely   unexpected   .   noah   clashed   with   the   director   over   every   little   thing   —   choreography   ,   costumes   ,   you   name   it   .   she   threw   tantrums   in   the   dressing   room   ,   stormed   off   set   ,   and   made   everyone   miserable   .   the   final   straw   came   during   a   technical   rehearsal   .   when   she   lost   it   ,   screaming   at   a   sound   technician   because   her   spotlight   cue   was   a   fraction   of   a   second   off   .   she   got   what   was   coming   to   her   ,   really   )

to   save   face   and   escape   the   gossip   ,   noah   hightailed   it   back   to   her   hometown   ,   accepting   the   prestigious   invitation   to   speak   at   her   old   high   school   .   it   was   the   perfect   cover   .   the   perfect   opportunity   to   rebrand   herself   ,   ditch   the   diva   persona   ,   and   maybe   even   win   back   some   fans   .

but   even   with   this   whole   do - gooder   act   ,   noah   still   clings   to   her   former   glory   .   she’s   pretending   to   be   as   busy   and   important   as   ever   ,   hiding   the   truth   about   her   epic   fall   from   grace   .

noah   has   a   bit   of   an   edge   to   her   ,   a   sharp   tongue   and   a   don’t - mess - with - me   vibe   .     in   high   school   ,   she   was   the   quintessential   “ too   cool   for   school ”   biker   girl   ,   all   biting   wit   ,   biker   jackets   and   don’t   give   a   fuck   attitude   .     always   on   her   honda   shadow   ,   always   popular   ,   always   feared   .

people   saw   her   as   a   bit   of   a   man - eater   ,   you   know   ,   the   type   who’d   chew   you   up   and   spit   you   out   .     maybe   it   was   all   the   biting   wit   ,   or   her   tell - it - like - it - is   nature   .     whatever   it   was   ,   kept   people   at   arm’s   length   .

but   beneath   that   prickly   exterior   ,   noah   was   just   a   girl   who   wanted   to   be   seen   ,   really   seen   .     she   craved   the    spotlight   ,   as   many   do   .     but   she   also   wanted   to   be   praised   ,   recognized   ,   loved   .     but   her   fear   of   vulnerability   and   rejection   kept   her   trapped   in   a   cycle   of   defensive   isolation   .     in   her   mind   ,   it   was   better   to   be   feared   and   respected   than   to   be   loved   and   easily   broken   ,   wasn’t   it   ?

          the   investigator’s   voice   finally   slices   through   the   silence          (   WHERE   WERE   YOU   ON   THE   NIGHT   OF   CHRISTOPHER   WILDER’S   DISAPPEARANCE   ?   )          it’s   a   simple   question   ,   really   .     and   noah’s   always   had   a   solid   alibi   :     stella   .     the   only   issue   ?     noah’s   memory   of   that   night   has   a   few   blanks   .     not   a   full   blackout   —   she   remembers   shots   ,   trying   to   outdrink   stella   ,   laughing   ,   dancing   ,   beer   pong   ,   flip   cup   .     but   …     at   some   point   ,   everything   gets   a   little   fuzzy   .     was   she   with   stella   the   whole   night   ?     was   drinking   all   she   really   did   ?     did   she   go   to   the   lake   to   watch   chris’   dare   ?     each   missing   detail   feels   like   a   potential   downfall   .     another   downfall   .     a   threat   to   her   career   she   can’t   afford   .     so   noah   sticks   to   what   she   knows   ,   scoffing   defensively   before   answering   ,     “   with   stella   .     we   were   celebrating   the   end   of   the   year   ,   and   naturally   there   was   a   party   .     so   ,   yeah   ,   lots   of   drinking   ,   a   little   dancing   ,   some   drinking   games   ...     honestly   ,   it’s   all   a   bit   hazy   .     it   happened   a   decade   ago   .     we   were   teenagers   .     but   i   was   with   her   …     the   whole   time   .   ”

          the   investigator’s   pen   scratches   across   the   notepad   in   silent   judgment   ,   the   sound   like   nails   on   a   chalkboard   to   noah   ,   grating   on   her   nerves   .     she   feels   hyper - aware   —   of   herself   ,   of   the   musty   smell   of   the   room   ,   of   the   buzzing   fluorescent   lights   ,   even   of   the   investigator’s   eyes   on   her          (   WHEN   WAS   THE   LAST   TIME   YOU   SAW   CHRISTOPHER   ?   )          and   noah   sighs   ,   her   mind   rifling   through   fragmented   recollections   .     “   fuck   ,   i   don’t   know   .     earlier   that   day   ?     i   dropped   by   to   see   kai   ,   his   brother   —   my   ex   ,   one   of   my   best   friends   ,   and   christopher   answered   the   door   .     we   didn’t   really   talk   ,   though   .     i   wasn’t   there   for   him   .     after   that   ,   i   went   on   to   the   party   and   i   don’t   think   i   saw   him   again   .   ”

          the   investigator   leans   forward   ,   gaze   sharp   and   unwavering   ,   locked   onto   noah’s   face          (   WHAT   WAS   YOUR   RELATIONSHIP   WITH   CHRISTOPHER   ?   )          and   with   a   defiant   tilt   of   her   chin   ,   she   lets   out   a   derisive   snort   .     “   nonexistent   ,   ”     says   ,   lips   curling   into   a   sardonic   smile   that   does   little   to   hide   the   disdain   she   held   for   christopher   wilder   .     “   we   weren’t   friends   .     we   didn’t   talk   .     ran   different   circles   ,   had   different   interests   .     you   know   those   people   you   see   around   sometimes   ,   maybe   they’ll   nod   as   you   walk   by   ,   try   to   flash   a   smile   ,   hoping   for   some   kind   of   reaction   ?     but   you   don’t   even   register   their   presence   ?     that   was   christopher   to   me   .     he   was   just   …     forgettable   .     background   noise   .   ”     offers   a   dismissive   shrug   .     “   sure   ,   i   knew   of   him   .     knew   his   family   ,   sat   across   from   him   at   a   couple   dinners   .     he   was   kai’s   brother   ,   and   that’s   the   most   interesting   thing   i   can   say   about   him   .   ”
