Chapter 1-Proglogue

Courtney's POV

I could feel her olive eyes on me as I bit my lip and tapped my phone on the desk. It was becoming a nervous habit of mine. I'd started doing it the first day back at school, and Bridgette said I'd been doing it ever since. It'd only been a week.

"Court, you need to stop worrying. You know he's fine, he texts you every hour and picks you up after school!" My best friend wasn't wrong, Duncan was always there for me. But in the nine days that had taken place between his trial mission and now, I hadn't heard from Mr. Fitzgerald. That was the worrying part.

"Yo, Mocha, you really need to chillax, bra." Geoff's casual attitude and sweet smile could work in two ways. It would either make you fall into a relaxed mood; or it could irk you up beyond belief. Lucky for him, I was in a good, yet worried, mood.

"She's in love." Bridgette giggled like a child, head on her own boyfriends shoulder. I rolled my eyes at the two.

"You've never mentioned him before." DJ leaned in from his own desk behind mine. He was a friend of Geoff's, a big brute if a guy, but a real teddy bear. "Where'd you meet him?"

I swallowed hard. I'd thought about what to say about Duncan when some asked during every waking moment. I had it all planned out in my head, and now it was time to put those thoughts into action.

"I met him when I was off sick." I explained. Only Bridgette knew the truth, and only Bridgette was allowed to know the truth. Well, I wasn't supposed to tell anyone, but I couldn't keep secrets from my best friend. I could, however, keep secrets from her boyfriend and his best friend.

"How'd you meet people when you're sick?" Geoff asked, puzzlement in his baby blues.

"My dads friend came over and introduced us." Mr. Fitzgerald was my dads friend and he did introduce us, that part wasn't a complete lie.

"How long have you two been together now?" It was a sincere question from Bridgette. "You're blushing!" She squealed as she moved from on top of Geoff's desk and into her assigned seat. But I could feel my cheeks starting to burn up the more I thought about Duncan. I liked thinking about Duncan, wondering what he was doing at...9:06AM. Okay, he was probably still asleep. But the thought was there.

Duncan hadn't been back to school since the incident with his father. I'd tried to talk to him, but he refused to go back. Not that he attended before he'd met me. I was worried about him, though. The thing is, by the time Duncan and I had seen the paramedics after our escape, found out we were fine and got back to his house (because him taking me home at 4AM was not going to look good with my parents), the cops had already beaten us there. The house was reposessed there and then. My boyfriend moved in with his sister. I worried that he thought his life was over. He never went to school and he never went out unless it was with me. I just couldn't wait for Mr. F to call me.

"If you must know, it's been official for almost 3 weeks now." Nothing could tear the smile off my face when I said that.

"QUIET!" Miss Crook entered late from her regular Friday morning meeting. It was going to be a long, dragging day before I got to see my boyfriend.

But it was worth the wait. When I saw him leaning against the hood of my car (because his had been taken with the house), the long day became worth it. Duncan's sly smirk was enough to make my heart start racing and my cheeks start blushing all over again. His beautiful eyes were hidden behind a pair of ray bans, but his bright green hair was starting to catch everyone's eye.

I couldn't help but break into a smile and powerwalk. He opened his arms and I fell straight against his chest. Pulling him close to me, showing him how much I'd missed him, before clasping my hands on either side of his face and pressing myself in for a long one. We now had the whole weekend together.

"Keep that for when you're at home, Miss Simpson." Miss Crook just had to ruin it.

"Leave her alone, Miss." Cody came to my rescue, exiting the school building himself. In the couple of weeks I had been attending Duncan's school, it was nice to see that Cody and the rest of his 'gang' hadn't given up hope on torturing their 'favorite' teacher.

The old bat shot the scrawny boy a glare, but continued on her way to her own car. Cody gave me a double thumbs-up and I returned the favor with one. Though, I did have Duncan whispering "Who the hell is that?" into my ear.

"My homeroom and Math teacher; Miss Crook, and a guy from my class: Cody." I answered, leaning my forehead against his. It wasn't for long as my body was quickly dragged away. I would have prepared for a fight, kicking the brute off me in a split second, but I was at school. No villain came after me in school.

"That's my boyfriend Geoff and our friend DJ." I could hear Bridgette explaining probably to a very confused Duncan, as Geoff and DJ tried to squeeze the life outta me in a group hug.

"So, you must be the famous Duncan we keep hearing about." Geoff said, turning to shake my boyfriends hand. I elbowed him in the ribs for good measure.

"That'd be me." Duncan replied, shaking Geoff's hand with his right and wrapping his left around me. It wasn't quite as tense of a moment I had been anticipating, but it still made me just a tad uncomfortable. My friends were part of my real life, Duncan was part of my spy life. I didn't like mixing the two too much.

"We better get going before my dad starts worrying where I am." I tapped Duncan's hand on my waist, telling him it was time to go.

"Same for us." Bridgette added, spotting her older brother standing by her car across the lot. "Nice seeing you again, Duncan. Talk soon, Court." The blonde smiles as she pushed her boyfriend forward.

Geoff tipped his cowboy hat, "Nice meeting ya." He smiled. Duncan held a handed wave as the trio sauntered off. We clambered into my car and I felt a sigh of relief wash over me. Duncan had met the boys and things hadn't gone badly. My mind really needed to stop over-thinking.

"Sorry if they made you uncomfortable." I apologised anyway, just in case. I found it very hard to tell what Duncan was thinking as he adjusted himself into the drivers seat. I was allowing him to use the car and I'd get around on my Harley in emergencies.

"Not at all." He mumbled, tossing his sunglasses onto the back seat. I smiled, knowing he was not a people person. But he tried. For me.

As we drove past where Bridgette was parked and rolled down my window, Geoff beckoning me too.

"You coming to my Friday night par-tay?" He asked, flashing his puppy dog eyes at me.

"I have plans." I did not want to go to another one of Geoff's Friday night par-tays. Every time I had so far had been a disastor.

"More to life than sex, Court." Elliot, Bridgette's eldest brother, called out to me. Of course, he assumed the dirty.

"Does Geoff know this?" I joked back, earning a push to the head from the boy himself.

"Get outta here." He laughed, pulling open Bridgette's car door. I smiled and rolled back up the window as Duncan started to drive the route I knew off by heart.

A/N: Well, hi there :)
