Noah Middleman

> "*You know, its pretty fitting that you two are the first people I see cause it's been a long time and we have a history..... Oh shit, you guys look like you've seen a damn ghost (chuckles) SURPRISE! (chuckles)..... I've always been the type of person to go against authority and bend the rules, but, given that, I had to prove that I had the honor that no else in The Bling Ring had. So I devised one of the most masterful plans in our time, which worked to perfection. Faking my own death was a way to get myself away from that cancerous group and helped me realize that I just want to live the way I want to, not the way that anyone wanted me to live. The plan was very simple and thought out so I'm going to take you through every step of it.*"

**Noah Middleman** is a graduate of Tree Hill High School having transferred there along with the rest of The Bling Ring during his sophomore year, a major antagonist turned protagonist, and a main character in the Next Generation and Legacies series. Noah is initially shown to be an aggressive and ruthless drug dealer looking to score cash any way he can. His only motive is to impress his leader Amber, gain her trust, and move up in The Bling Ring ladder. As he began to branch out to selling during school, he gained enemies in his ex Taylor, and her boyfriend Milo. His quest to gain notoriety continued to make bounds by making fierce enemies out of Brooke Keller and Jackson Scott, the former he sold drugs too and the latter he beat to a bloody pulp. His antagonistic nature began to dwindle after two of his friends brought guns and knives to school, looking to recreate the infamous Tree Hill school shooting. Realizing his life isn't going anywhere, he decides to It is revealed that he came from a broken home and bounced around foster care, until he found a home with The Bling Ring. After this development, Noah was upgraded to a series regular until he was presumably killed in a car crash during the 9 midseason finale much to the shock of the Tree Hill Community.

His ultimate death brought the awareness of texting and driving to the for front. But, in reality as revealed in Legacies with his return to Tree Hill, he faked his death with the help of Kirk and Serena as way to get out of the Bling Ring and live his life the way he wanted too away from the toxic atmosphere the group brings. His return came at a devastating loss as Kirk dies in his arms, which isn't revealed until Season 3. His return also came with a great reception for the character as a great way to trick the audience and gain redemption.

Noah, despite faking his own death, feels very close to death: he held his best friend Kirk in his arms as he died from a stab wound, he found his friend Leo dead from a seizure, he watched his childhood best friend Trevor die from bleeding in his stomach, he almost lost his girlfriend Grace after being impaled by a sword, and he almost lost his former attraction Avery to cancer.

After losing most of the people he loved, he realized he'll always love Grace and wants to be with her. They sleep together and find out she's pregnant. After having their daughter, Melanie, Grace decides to move in with him and Camila so they could have a shot at being a family to end the series. He goes from being a common criminal who only looks out for himself to being a responsible and compassionate man that will do anything to protect his family.

Noah is one of the most developed male characters in the series, along with Jamie, Chuck, Logan, Davis, Elliot, Jackson, Andre, Andy, Lucas, and Jude.
