Could it be?
I've been more than just a little sad since I was voted off Total Drama Action. Not only had I lost the money, but I lost the most important thing. Duncan. I pushed, and pushed, and months later, he still won't talk to me. My 'friends' have tried to cheer me up, but their cheering up, is simply insulting him, and me, like now for instance.
"Oh, look, Court, that new boy looks like your type!" Annabella said, pointing towards a black haired boy with baggy jeans and t-shirt.
"Will you please just leave me alone, already?" I asked, glaring at her.
"Whatever." She stated, flipping her hair and turning around to speak to someone else behind her.
Once she had turned around, I glanced back at the boy. He actually did remind me of Duncan. Large turquoise eyes, the black hair, though it had no mo-hawk, and the piercings. It almost made me want to cry. Then he met my eyes, his widened to the size of saucers and he instantly looked away.
"That's my brother. He's a strange one." A black haired, thin girl who was standing just beside my desk said, "I'm Georgia, and you are?"
"Courtney. When'd you all move here?" I asked, intrigued by the new kids.
"Over the winter break. My brother's been bummed about some girl he met on some TV thing, and my parents decided the cold and lack of sunshine wasn't really helping him." She answered, laughing out the last part a little.
"Oh, that's horrible." I replied, as the girl sat down in the desk beside me.
"You know, he probably looked away, because you kind of look like the chick…what's your name again?" She asked.
"…Courtney…" I answered, suddenly putting together all the pieces of the girl's story.
"Oh, my god!" She shrieked, jumping slightly from her seat, "that was her name too! You didn't happen to be on the Total Drama stuff, did you?"
"Uhm…yeah. I was." I answered, knowing full well that the girl would probably flip shits on me once the answer was out.
"You have to go talk to him!" She whispered excitedly, flicking her eyes back to her brother.
"What?" I asked, shocked by the answer she'd given me, she was so unlike her brother.
"You have no idea how much he's missed you. I need you to go talk to him. I'm going crazy with him talking about you." She answered, rolling her eyes.
"I can't go talk to him. I was horrible to him the last time I saw him." I said, looking back at the him nostalgically.
"So? Just talk to him." She said, just as the teacher came in and began roll call.
I looked back at him once more, and decided, if I saw him in lunch, I'd talk to him. No sooner, no later, and no chickening out.

After third block I headed over the cafeteria, dreading the moment when I saw Duncan, because of course he'd be in my lunch block. The god's would make it like that, and besides, Georgia had his schedule memorized, and told me he had it now. When I'd made that promise to myself, I clearly hadn't been thinking about how nervous I'd be.
"Courtney!" Georgia yelled, as soon as I entered the Cafeteria, beckoning me over to where she sat with Duncan, who looked pissed.
"Hey, Georgia." I said quietly, when I reached the table, sitting directly across from her, and refusing to look Duncan in the eye.
"I'm going to go get some food out of the line. Stay here, I'll be right back." She said swiftly, winking at me as she left to go into the long line.
"Why, are you here? Why couldn't you just pretend you didn't know what she was talking about?" Duncan asked, his voice angry and impatient, as soon as Georgia was out of hearing range.
"Because, I couldn't just lie to her!" I exclaimed, finally looking at him since the first time I'd enter the room. He looked a mess up close, his eyes were red, and dull, his lips a thin line, while the rest of his face was tensed.
"Yes, you could've. Everyone who knows what's best for them, lies to her." He answered, the muscles in his shoulders flexing as he clinched his fists open and closed repeatedly.
"Well, clearly, I don't know what's best for me. I mean, I told the truth to your sister, then I listened to her, and then I came over here, where I'm clearly not wanted, all on my own." I asked, glaring at him shortly, angry at him for assuming that I didn't know how to take care of myself.
"Clearly, you don't." He replied, looking at me sharply.
"Duncan, I came because I feel terrible, I just want you to forgive me. I miss you." I answered, finally letting out my pride, and allowing my emotions to control my speech.
He looked taken aback by my honesty for a moment before replying with, "It's too complicated for everything to be forgiven like that" He snapped once for emphasis.
"Why not?" I asked, knowing that while I'd been terrible, it had also been a long time since then.
"Because, I loved you, and you took advantage of that. You took advantage of me, and when you care for someone, you don't do that." He answered, his eyes softening a little when he talked about how he'd felt.
"I loved you too, Duncan, but-"
"There aren't any buts. You screwed this up, now you get to live with it." He answered, getting up.
"Duncan!" I called out, trying to stop him, but instead, just making people turn and look at us.
"Just leave me, alone." He answered, his eyes hard and focused, and angrier than I'd ever seen them.
With that, he simply picked up his things, and walked away, amid the whispers and murmurs of everyone in our school making up stories about us.
"What happened?" GEorgia asked, appearing out of nowhere, without a bit of food in sight.
"He still hates me." I sighed out, tears pinpricking at my eyes.
"Oh, no! Don't cry, I'll fix this all. Somehow. I promise." She said, nodding once, more to herself than to me, before picking up both her things and mine and guiding me to the bathroom where we spent the rest of lunch, me crying, and her consoling me.
That's when I realized, that maybe, the only real friend I had, was my ex-boyfriends sister.
