Hey peeps wazup? This is edwardbellacullen13 here. Here is my second TDI story. This is not a sequel to my first story, that will be made later. This is about the month of vacation the campers have before school begins again. Read and review!
It was no surprise that Owen had won the $100,000, everyone had been expecting it. So, Owen was paid his money and all the campers were sent home one by one. Some good-byes were harder than others. Gwen didn't want Trent to leave, but he had promised he would visit her whenever possible. Geoff and Bridgette decided that they would try to move closer to each other, so they could continue their relationship. But in my opinion, the hardest good-bye was for Duncan, who hadn't wanted to let his precious princess go. He tried to say good-bye, but Courtney had made sure to leave before he got a chance. Courtney did this because she was afraid to admit how much she would truly miss him. So Duncan left for home, completely heartbroken. But don't fear for the young couple, there is more to their story.
Duncan was never a really perceptive person, so he never realized he had been Courtney's next door neighbor for the past 2 years. Courtney, on the other hand, had never realized it because Duncan hadn't ever been home much (due to being in juvie). So I ask those who are reading this, what will happen next? Only I know the answer, so prepare for emotional turmoil.
Courtney arrived home first, but she felt empty, not that she would admit this to anyone. She missed her delinquent, his laugh, his personality, and of course his suave demeanor (yeah right). Her parents weren't there to welcome her home (her parents were both big scale lawyers, who often traveled a lot). Basically, Courtney had the house to herself most of the time. So, she went upstairs to unpack. She had her tears in for so long that she didn't even realize that she was crying over the loss of Duncan. She sat on her bed and cried until her tears had run dry. ' I shouldn't waste my time crying over a moot point,' thought Courtney. She got up and made her way downstairs to the kitchen. There she found a note from her parents.
Dear Courteny,
We're sorry we aren't there to welcome you home, but we've been called away to New York City. We will be there for the rest of the summer so we decided to leave you some money incase you decide to take a vacation with some friends. So whatever you decide to do, we love you and will see you in a month.
Sincerely, Your Parents
Courtney did a quick scan of the kitchen, and eventually found the wad of cash that was laying on the counter top. She fanned through it to find that her parents had left her enough money to buy a yacht (that's a lot of money). She smiled but it faded when she realized that her parents had said she could go with her friends. Because of her uptight attitude, Courtney had never made any friends at school. The only friends she had were the one's she made on TDI, and she would never see them again. Before she could go into another pity feast, she heard a car pull up outside. She went to the front door to peak out, and her heart about stopped beating.
Outside on the sidewalk was Duncan, who sighed and walked up to the house to her left. He pulled out a key and went inside. Courtney gasped. 'Has he really been my neighbor all this time?' She tried to recall ever seeing him, but she drew up blank. Well at least she would have someone to hang with for the next month. But her hopes dwindled, she hadn't even said good-bye to him after the show. And she was still uncertain about him, one false move and he could very well end her perfect life. Her parents would never approve anyway, so she dropped the subject in her thoughts.
Duncan's POV At his house
I trudged up to my house and opened the door. No one was home, typical (his parents are cops who live for their work, he's normally all alone at the house). My thoughts kept drifting back to Courtney. I had known that I shouldn't have been angry with her for leaving without a good-bye. She hadn't seemed to be really in to me anyways. I made my way to my room, where I just dumped my stuff onto the floor. 'Why couldn't she like me as much as I like her,' thought Duncan.
I walked into the kitchen where a small note had been left.
Dear Duncan,
We've been called away for work, and won't be back for a month. Try your hardest to stay out of trouble.
Your Parents
I wasn't alarmed by the curtness of the note, my parents hadn't really liked me anyways, since I was always getting into trouble. But getting into trouble was fun, so I decided to play an old classic prank on the neighbors, Ding Dong Ditch.
I crept silently across my yard, and made my way to the neighbor's front door. I had already decided on hiding behind the bushes in the side of the yard. So, I quickly pressed the door bell, and ran like hell to my hiding spot. But nothing could prepare me for who opened the door. It was princess. I had never thought I would see her again. No matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't recall her living next to us for the past 2 years. But I didn't care, now the rest of the summer wouldn't be so dull, because now I could work on winning over Courtney's heart.
I was sure I was completely hidden, so when she called out to me by name, I was surprised. I slowly rose from my hiding place, and made my way to the front door to confront her. "Courtney, I didn't think I would see you again."
Courtney just stood there and I thought maybe she was going to say something. Instead, she burst into tears and ran back into her house. But she hadn't closed the door, so I decided to make the first move of the longest month of my life.
