Courtney's POV
Today was the last day of spring break and my best friend ,Bridgette's boy friend Geoff was going to be throwing the biggest party yet and I still wasn't ready. It was 6:48 and the party was at 7:00 and knowing that he only lived 4 houses down the hill from me, which only took a couple minutes to get there, gave me enough time to change and still make it on time.
Since my dad was a lawyer and my mom a doctor we could afford anything and with anything they bought this huge 3 story house real close to the beach here in L.A. My room was the biggest room on the 2nd floor and had one of the biggest closets in the whole house. My sister Alex had the biggest closet which made me mad when we first moved in since she didn't have as much cloths than me but my room had a bathroom and hers didn't.
As I walked towards my closet and opened the door my sister stormed into the room with her hands waiving up in the air like crazy.
"I don't have anything to wear! I mean this is a cute outfit but I want guys to notice me like they notice you Courtney!"
Alex is 16 and I was older than her by a year.
"Alex, your outfit is fine.", I answered looking her up and down. She was wearing what I think was her new red and black checker board bathing suit underneath her red tank top and black booty shorts with her re chucks.
"You really think so?"
I sighed and nodded my head look at the clock hanging over my full size bed. It read 6:52 and I sighed again walking into my closet room with Alex following me.
"Alex why is it every time we go to one of Geoff's party's you always do the same thing and always say, "I want guys to notice me like they notice you!".. huh? To tell you the truth from what I've seen they've noticed you the most." I walked towards the drawer which contained all 10 of my bathing suits. It may seem weird to have many bathing suits but when your in L.A things change. I pulled out my newest one, a blue bikini with hot pink stars covering it as the design.
"Oooh that's a cute one. No but seriously Court, I mean ever since you and Justin broke up every guy looks at you like you're the next big thing they can get and-"
"CAN WE PLEASE not talk about that!" I tried to stop my self from yelling at her but she knew I didn't like talking about that.
"Oh gosh sorry … forgot." I saw her roll her eyes which pissed me off a little since she always seemed to have an attitude. I gave another sigh and turned around to grab a baggy dark purple shirt with its sleeves cut of and the neck cut a bit too making it like one of the shirts from the 80's. Next I grabbed my black shorts and my pair of purple Nikes shoes and walked out of the closet with Alex behind me.
"Could I get a bit of privacy please?" I gave her a stern look which I think gave her the message since she rolled her eyes again and walked out slamming the door behind her.
I was only asking for some space to change and she acts like dumb ass, wow.
About two minutes later I walked out of my room shutting the door and looked up to notice Alex moth wide open.
"Wow you look nice but I have the need to say I look better.", she said with a little laugh and walking down the stairs.
I smiled walking behind her and hit her shoulder with my fist playfully.
"Ow! You may seem a bit weak but you really aren't." he gave a one time laugh as we were now out the door.
"See ya ma!" I yelled closing the front door.
I took my phone out of my pocket checking the time 6:58. Two minutes left.
"Run Courtney. Come on we're going to - just ugh!" she grabbed arm and started pulling me with her running. Since it was down hill we started to get some speed. I tried to hold back trying to loosen my hand from hers.
"Stop! Alex you go I'll be there in a sec okay.", she stopped and looked at me with a bit of a what type of look. She nodded and ran off, "See ya sis."
I sat down on the side walk in the criss-cross-apple sauce style and started thinking in my head.
Oh my gosh. If it just weren't for my sister really wanting to go to one of Geoff's party's I wouldn't have to be here. To tell you the truth, she was the only reason why I had told Bridgette I would go to the party.
I mean really they know I didn't want to come because of Justin and his pile of girls.
FLASHBACK
I walked out of the school building and next to me was Alex and Bridgette was now walking up behind us.
"Uh.. Courtney?" Bridgette called my name making me turn to face her.
"What Bridgette? Quick I want to go see Justin. It's the last day of school and-" I tried to turn around but Bridgette pulled me back. "Ummm.. Guess what?", she asked me but I really didn't care so I turned around.
This time it was Alex who tried to stop me from turning around and I didn't understand why.
"Court-"
There he was, touching lips with some other white ass girl who had blond hair and was wearing a read shirt making her chest look huge but fake.
Justin and one of the popular girls I would see him with in the halls, Lindsay. A couple other girls were standing close to them admiring his beauty.
I turned back to see Bridgette and Alex both with their hands clasped together.
Tears were about to build up in my eyes. "W-what were you going to say?"
I asked smiling trying to forget about what I had just seen.
'We used to be the biggest couple in L.A High School' I thought in my mind, 'Now what…'
"Umm well I.. I think we should go.", Bridgette said.
"Come on let's go to the car." , Alex grabbed my hand and pulled me away.
"Oh hey sweetie! Aren't you gonna say by to me before we leave for the break?" Justin called out to me whipping his lips.
"I saw you and you act as if nothing happened. WE ARE OVER! NEVER TALK TO ME OR LOOK AT ME OR OR…" I couldn't do anything but give him the finger and kept walking.
His face expression changed from a small smile to an even bigger one. What was his problem I just gave him the finger.
"What ever.. Lindsay!", he threw his hand down the way you would do when you didn't care about something and ran after Lindsay.
As we walked away heading for my car I got in on the passenger side with Alex getting into the back and Bridgette took the keys from my purse and went and took hold of the wheel.
"So let's talk about that new guy who's suppose to be coming next semester.", Alex tried to change the topic and say something about what had just happened.
"Oh yeah Geoff said he moved in next door to him and apparently they were becoming buddy's.-laugh- And apparently he's some type of delinquent."
My mind started to room off and tears strolled down my cheeks.
END OF FLASHBACK
I rubbed my eyes at remembering that day but then I realized my name was being called not so far away.
"COURTNEY! COURTNEY! COME ON!"
I turned to face the direction in which my name was being called.
I saw Bridgette waving at me so the best I could do was shake all my thoughts off. So I started running towards her and in like 10 seconds I was in front of her panting.
"Hey! Alex told me you were out here. For a second I thought you went back home.", she smiled at me and hugged me making me feel a lot better.
"No I was just taking a breather and looking at the sky to see if the first stars were out but apparently not." I gave a weak chuckle noticing that she didn't really believe my story.
"Damn." I said muttering under my breath.
"Let's go and have some FUN!", she said totally hyped up making me laugh. We skipped in to Geoff's front lawn and then going through the inside and now I felt lose. Ready to party Bridgette took her blue sweater off and I noticed her bathing suit. For the first time she wasn't wearing her surfing suit and was wearing a dark blue bikini and I smiled at her making her blush.
"You like?"
"I know I do! Hey babe!", a shirtless guy came up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist and kisses her shoulder.
"Hey Baby!"
"Hey Geoff," I said purposely interrupting their moment so they wouldn't make me feel bad.
"Ha sorry Court.." Geoff let her lose and rubbed the back of his neck. His hair was blond and long and he was shirtless showing of his 6 pack, no wonder Bridgette loved this guy he was perfect for her.
"So let us see your bathing suit."
"Ugh.. Fine." I pulled my purple shirt off and set it down on a chair behind me were a couple was making out and seeming to notice they got up and jumped into the big ass indoor pool and resumed their session.
"Nice Courtney.. It's so you."
"Yeah it is you. A reeeaal hot you.", Geoff giggled and then pretended to zip his lips after I hit him in his stomach to that comment. The last person that had said that to me probably didn't mean it so I didn't want to hear it from someone who really meant it and notice the difference.
"Courtney he's right and DON'T hit him."
"Aww baby why don't you make me feel better than cause it hurts so much." , then they decided to start kissing as well so I just stood there waiting for them to finish.
First I noticed all the teenagers that were here were from school, all mainly Juniors and Seniors and a couple of Sophomores like Alex. Then I noticed Justin and his girls including Lindsay. I felt my eyes about to start out with the water works but then I heard the most manliest voice.
"Yo Geoff, stop with the smooching and let's go for some football."
I snapped out of the thought of Justin and put my attention on this new guys sexy voice who had to shout at Geoff a little bit due to him not really paying attention and the lous music that was being blasted.
Geoff pulled back from Bridgette.
"Yo What's up Duncan? Football, I don't know.. Did you bring a ball?"
Duncan. That was a pretty hot name for him and it totally fit him. He had a green mohawk and the rest of his hair was black and spiky. He had a couple piercing that you would expect to make him look bad but they didn't and he was wearing a dog type of collar with spikes. He looked dangerous but a hot type of dangerous especially with the 6 pack that I couldn't stop looking at and his chest, OMG, it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. I used to think Justin had the hottest body but why wouldn't he I mean he was a model and he only used his body for pictures in magazines. This Duncan guy seemed to use it for something totally different.
"Courtney stop staring he's noticing you.", Bridgette whispered into my ear making me realize that she was right cause his eyes started roaming down my body.
"Yeah some chicks pulling a team together right now and she's the one that has the ball so." His eyes were now back to Geoff.
"Alright.", Geoff turned around to face us, "So you guys up for a game? We can play two a hand touch?"
Bridgette got closer to him leaning into his chest, "Yeah totally."
I shook my head, "umm no thanks I'll just watch.""Okay."
"You sure Court?"
I nodded my head. Bridgette walked away with Geoff who now followed Duncan outside of the indoor pool.
(QUICK DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
~ SO THERE'S GEOFF'S HOUSE AND FROM THE FRONT DOOR THERES THE LIVING ROOM, THEN THE KITCHEN. IF YOU WALK PAST THE KITCHEN THERE'S THE INDOOR POOL BUT IT'S JUST UNDERNEATH A ROOF AND THERES A GLASS SCREEN AND A SLIDE OPEN DOOR. If you GO OUT THE SLIDE DOOR THERE THE SAND THAT LEADS DOWN TO THE BEACH.)
I walked behind them bringing my phone and shirt and Bridgette's sweater with me and out to the sand part of the beach. A bunch of people were huddled around as Bridgette and Geoff each picked their teams. I sat on the sand and watched her and her bf argue over who started with the ball.
"Ladies go first so just give the damn ball to Bridgette.", Duncan took the ball out of Geoff's hand and giving it to Bridge.
The game began and I noticed that Alex was playing on the same team as Duncan. They seemed to be talking and having a good time but then Duncan pulled her into a hug and she seemed to giggle shyly but she let herself in.
Oh my gosh that hooligan! He doesn't even know her and he's all over her and..oooo… Alex! She should now better than that!, I thought to myself with a awkwardly mad expression on my face.
He picked her up and twirled her around making her yell, "woo!" I watched as both of them kept flirting like this for a while. You could barely see though since the sky had almost gone black but the moon is what made a bit of light shine making the night look fantastic.
"Are you two gonna play the game or what!", someone from their team yelled at them while the music still blasting all the volume made it a bit hard to hear.
"Sorry dude!", Duncan yelled back at him. They both separated when all of a sudden some other girl with dark long and white long legs jumped on his back. Heather, what a be-atch she was all the first 2 years of high school like. I hated her so much.
He twirled her around as well and for some reason it made me mad. Why? I'm not sure.
"You have a crush on the new guy! I knew it!" Bridgette yelled out loud almost that majority of the people could hear, even Duncan.
"Bridge! Shut it! I do not, just last week you said that the new guy was some type of delinquent right? So I have no interest in him what so ever! And aren't you suppose to be over there playing football I said pointing with my finger in the direction she had come from.
"So I'm a delinquent which isn't the right type for ya huh?"
Oh no. Duncan was now walking towards where Bridge and I were sitting.
"Well yeah. Criminals are of no good especially an ugly one." I said crossing my arms over my bikini top looking a t Bridge.
Oh what did is just say! Did I just say he was ugly? Well for god knows he's not ugly he's a total hunk.
"Yeah that's what all the babes say until they've had a little special something with me.", he replied with a smirk on his face.
What a Neanderthal. He obviously has no respect for intellectual woman in this world.
"Well they don't say the ugly part more like they use the words, hunk, sexy, hot, bad boy in all the negative way and now I know you have a better name for me than that. I saw you stare at me when I was offering Geoff to play the game with me."
"Hey look Geoff wants to go make out! Bye you two.", Bridge says the last sentence in way that made me blush but then got me mad.
"Listen MR. I don't know you and don't plan to okay. Oh and don't touch my sister Alex or I'll rip you eyes out and you will wish to never .. Ugh!" I lifted my hand showing him my nails and then got up and walked away not finishing my sentence.
"Whoa whoa wait! He ran up behind me and grabbed my arm but I tried pulling away from him when he tried pulling towards him and so we both ended up falling. He landed on me making the air supply in my lungs run out a little bit.
"The names Duncan Hunt but you just call me Duncan. I'm going to be going to L.A High School just like you, your sister and all your friends. I have been to Juvi but what's it to you. I like girls and only girls who are hot and have good looks interest me. Unlike you your sisters pretty hot."
Did he just say my sister was hotter than me. NO WAY THAT CAN'T BE POSSIBLE! All the guys liked me better than her and he didn't what a douche.
I tried to get him off of me but he was too strong form me and he made it impossible for me to fight him while his hands were holding my wrist down onto the sand.
"Maybe if you stopped moving I could let you get up Princess.", he gave me a smile which in a way I liked and wait he even called me a princess, what was that about? I wonder if he meant it, I thought then realizing my sister was stand with her arms crossed and steam seemed to be blowing out of her nose.
"Oh hey Courtney don't worry about me it's totally fine that you get EVERY GUY!"
Alex stormed of walking towards our house. She didn't even look back she just kept moving her feet in the sand.
"WILL YOU GET THE HELL OFF OF ME!" I yelled in his face which was now super close to mine. I could smell the spicy colonel he was wearing which was really attractive on him.
He got up letting me lose and picked me up. "Put me down!" I hit his chest as hard as I could which really didn't help much because it was as hard as steel and made my hand hurt. "Watch what you do Princess. Don't hurt your self or I'll have to kiss it and make it better."
I snarled at him as he put me back on my feet.
"Look what you did! My sister is now mad at me because you had to fall on top of me and put your face all up in my face . You pig of an ass!"
"Pig of an ass? That's the best you could do? It doesn't even makes sense."
"YES THAT'S THE BEST I COULD DO! I WAS HAVINGA WOUNDERFUL EVENING AT THIS PARTY AND NOW YOU'VE COMPLETELY RUINED IT!", I was practically scream at him making everyone that was outside notice. Duncan chuckled and lifted his arms up in the air. "Hey I'm innocent babe. This is your fault." Bridgette and Geoff started walking our way to see what was going on.
"Hey, hey, hey. What's up over here?", Geoff broke into our discussion.
"AGGH! I'm leaving!", I stormed off in the same direction Alex has before.
"See ya doll face!"
How dare he call me doll face and no I will not see him. Even though I was a couple feet away from him I turned around to respond to him.
"She so wants me.", he fist punched Geoff who responded with "Yeah dude."
I gave them both a pissed off look and yelled, "In your dreams CRIMIANL!", and kept on walking. I heard Geoff cry a shout of ow's so I figured Bridgette had kicked him in the wrong spot. Then I heard Duncan cry the same thing so I figured she hit him too. They deserved it anyway.
"Hey wait up Court. I'll spend the night at your place kay. We need to talk.", Bridgette was now by my side and just nodded my head. At least I won't have to deal with Alex by myself tonight.
