Author's Note: I watched the first season of Total Drama and got majorly hooked on it, but then the second season came around and I just didn't have the time to watch it. Then eventually I lost complete interest. Then suddenly, one day out of boredom, I seached FanFiction's Cartoon archive and stumbled upon Total Drama! I immediatly fell in love with the stories and now all of those authors have inspired me to make this story! They have also inspired me to watch everything that I did miss as well. I especially love the idea of Duncan and Gwen together! They're both kind of mean (in a good way guys) and dark, so they fit well together.
I've had so so so many ideas of how to go about writing and or typing this story, and they all fit pretty good together with the plot and everything. So I guess the main summary of this story is how nothing should stop you from achieving your goals and what the real meaning of friendship and love is. Fluffy, I know, but true. So after I publish this chapter, I plan on immediatly publishing the second. Why, you may ask? You see, many readers want stories that are long and are interesting. So when I publish the first two chapters (maybe even three) then it creates a small depth in the story. A depth just deep enough to get the readers interested. That's all for today class.
So anyways, thank you all (even to those who sat back and did absolutely nothing). :)
Disclaimer: I do not own any part of the Total Drama Series whatsoever.
Thanks for reading that somewhat long Author's note and enjoy!
I laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling for God knows how long; the morning sunlight beamed through my curtains and spilled onto the carpeted floor over the countless items that laid strewn about. It was almost six in the morning. My stupid alarm clock started ringing before the sun had even begun to rise! I couldn't get it to shut off until I finally took the heel of my boot to it. After it admitted defeat, I threw myself onto my bed, wide awake. My eyes begged for sleep, but everytime I closed them all I could focus on was that awful beeping sound.
Die! Die! Die!
God! I've heard that sound so many times that just hearing it on the T.V. or the radio literally makes me cringe. Guess I'm gonna have to splurge for a new alarm then...Maybe a more pleasant one this time...
I groggily checked the time on my cell phone; it was just passed six now. Time to get up.
I rolled out of my bed and landed on my hands and knees on the floor beside my dresser. When I got up, I stumbled to the bathroom to take a quick shower, occasionally stepping on bits and peices of the alarm clock's innards. Note to self: clean room after school. It looked as if a tornado had ripped through my room.
...
The walk to school seemed so much longer than usual. The morning sun seemed to go out of its way just to make sure that I was blinded at every possible angle. I looked at my feet as I walked, letting my bangs hang over my eyes to block out the sun. I pulled my backpack over my shoulder and pulled up my black cargo pants. I was mid-August and to be honest, my legs were sweating. 'Why didn't I just wear my usual skirt?' I thought angrily to myself. I was wearing my black cargo pants, an army green V-neck, and my purple short Chuck Taylors. I swear to god it felt like I was literally melting.
"Hey girl!" a voice shouted from somewhere, I looked behind me. LeShawna came driving up in her used convertible and pulled to the curb by me. She had the right idea! Wearing a tanktop that could 'breathe' and shorts.
"Hey," I said.
She leaqned over. "Need a ride? You look kinda dead." she asked. I looked in the direction of the school; it was still a ways away, even after all this time that I've been walking.
I tossed my backpack in the backseat and hopped in. Since the top was pulled back on the car, I didn't even bother to open the door. "Thanks."
We quickly pulled away from the curb and rode to the school. After a moment, LeShawna spoke up. "Somethin' up? You're quieter than usual." she asked.
I rolled my head on the headrest to look at her. "My alarm woke me up way too early, and then I killed it." I said, running my hands over my face and yawned. She laughed and leaned back in her seat.
"You are so dangerous," she joked and pulled into the school's student parkring area.
I sat up. "Ha ha. You're funny." I said blandly and got out of the car as soon as she pulled into her parking space.
"Hey, wait for me girl!" she said loudly as she grabbed her bag. When she caught up to me, we linked arms and walked to the school.
The school was crowded as usual; students scattered everywhere like bugs. LeShawna and myself parted ways as I walked to my locker. I did my combination sluggishly. I looked into the small mirror that was on the inside of my locker door and was slightly disgusted at what I saw. Dark circles were under my eyes and my hair was a mess from riding in LeShawna's car with the roof pulled down. I quickly combed through my hair with my fingers.
"Hey beautiful," a voice said. I looked to my left and saw Trent, I smiled a bit.
"Hey." I said and turned back to my locker. I took out a small bag of makeup that I rarely used and started to put on some concealer to hide the dark circles under my eyes.
"You look tired," he said, leaning against the other lockers next to mine and shoved his hands in his pockets. I simply gave him a 'look' and went back to applying my makeup. Trent came closer and wrapped his arms around my waist, setting his chin on my shoulder. I blushed a little bit as I put the small bottle of makeup back into the bag. I admit, it was nice to have someone to call as your own. Trent kissed my neck and pulled away. "Better get to class," he said and led me to my first period with an arm draped over my shoudlers. Yeah, people stared as we walked. The goth and the cool musician? Its not really that bad of a combination, is it? Even if it is, who cares?
When we got to my first period, he let go of me. Trent gave me a small peck on the cheek. "See ya," he said and jogged back to his first period, his was on the first floor whilst mine was on the third. I walked into Biologly and sat down in the far back of the room. Not long after I walked in, people started filing quickly into the room. This was the first day of my Senior year and to be honest, I already found it to be a drag. There were too many new people here! I leaned back in my chair and crossed my arms. This was going to be fun.
I zoned out and looked out theb window that overlooked the streets in front of the school. The other chair at my table scraped against the floor as someone pulled it out to sit in it. "I'm Bridgette." she said, holding out her hand.
"Gwen." I said, shaking it. She seemed nice.
"So...Are you new?" she asked, trying to make conversation.
"No, I've been here forever. You?" I asked, she nodded. "Ah," I said, nodding as well. It was awkward now, we didn't have really anything to talk about. God I hope this wouldn't be awkward like this all year. "So what's your deal?"
"Huh?"
"Like, what do you do? Hobbies or whatever."
"Oh!" she said, suddenly more interested in what we were talking about. "I love to surf!" she practically yelled. A few heads turned around to look at us.
"No one cares," someone groaned. I rolled my eyes.
"Most of the people here are total pricks," I told her honestly. "So just ignore them."
Bridgette nodded. "I guess you're right..."
"And whenever you need whatever, just come get me. 'kay?" I asked, she nodded. Bridgette seemed like the type of person to let people push her around. I really don't think I could stand by and watch.
"Really?" she asked, brightening up a little.
"Sure." I said. The teacher called class to order almost immediatly after that. Hey, maybe this year wouldn't be a drag after all...
...
The school day wore on slowly. I had a few classes with Bridgette and LeShawna, but almost none with Trent. What can ya do right? Over the course of the day, Bridgette and I became good friends. It didnt take me long to be convinced that she was as sweet as sugar, inside and out. At lunch, all three of us sat together outside on a bench. Bridgette talked endlessly about dolphins and surfing. Soon I spotted Harold stalking towards us.
"Way to tell me where you guys were at. I had to look everywhere. Gosh!" he said and plopped down next to LeShawna who draped her arm across his shoulders.
"Relax baby!" she said cooly, laughing.
"You two...?" Bridgette asked, they nodded.
"Yeah," Harold started. "We're like, totally in love-muffins with each other!" he said, smiling shyly. Bridgette 'aww'ed while I tried to hide the turning in my stomach. As soon as they started to kiss, I jumped off of the bench that I was sitting on and started to walk away.
"I'm out." I said, heading back to the school.
"Hey w-wait up!" Bridgette yelled, jumping up. I guess she didn't find them any more adorable than I did. Speaking of couples and whatnot, where was Trent? I listened for the sweet sounds of his guitar, but I didn't hear anything except the constant clucking of your stereotypical teenage girls. You know, giggling like Bridgette's beloved dolphins, can't get their nose out of their cell phones, wearing only the brand name they like, that sort of deal. "Where should we go?" Bridgette asked. Not a second later did the bell ring.
I looked at her and smirked. "Class of course,"
Bridgette and I walked to the last period of the day: Liturature. Bridgette sat in the desk to the left of me, constantly chatting with me about unimportant things. Suddenly she stopped and gasped. "Huh?" I said and turned to fully face her. It turns out that she was staring at Geoff. I relaxed in my seat. I actually thought that something was wrong.
"Hey...Gwen?" Geoff said, well more like asked as he walked over to us.
"Gwen." I confirmed.
"Gwen! New student!" he said excitedly, exaggerating with his hands. "I'm Geoff," he said politely, holding out his hand to Bridgette.
"Bridgette," she smiled, taking it.
"Beautiful! If you ever need a tour guide, let me do the honors." he said.
Bridgette blushed. "Well I already have one, thanks though." she said, gesturing to me.
He shrugged. "Maybe next time then."
As Geoff walked away, Bridgette sighed in total bliss like she had just seen a dolphin riding a surfboard. "What?" I asked.
She smiled shyly. "He is so cute!"
Oh God. I hope she's not one of those girls. The ones that always seem to be after a new guy every week or so. "Geoff?"
"Yes!" he exclaimed, practically bouncing in her seat.
I laughed. "Maybe you should try playing it cool..." I suggested. She stopped for a second to think. "Mm-let me rephrase that. What I meant was, be yourself."
She nodded. "I can totally do that."
I gave her a thumbs up and turned to face the white board in the front of the room. The teacher had already set up a projector and was picking volunteers to do some sort of task. Suddenly the classroom door flew open and a late student barged in.
"Mr. Adams!" the teacher scolded.
"What?" he asked, obviously annoyed.
"The door!"
"Oh..." he mumbled and kicked it shut. The teacher just sighed and pointed to his seat...Next to me. Great.
When he sat down next to me, I immediatly liked his style. The piercings were ok I guess, but I especially loved the green and black faux hawk. Much better than Geoff's relaxed cowboy look if you ask me.
