Sunsets
One-shot
"Hmmm" Courtney sighed as she dangled her feet over the cliff. The sun was beaming down on her. She had to squinting just to see the water below.
"Courtney, what is wrong?" It was Bridgette.
"Bridgette, I don't know. Life on this Island sucks! I go through so many emotions in one day, some of them I have never even used!"
"That is what a reality show does to you!" Bridgette sat down next tol Courtney.
"I mean people expect us to fall in love with others that have been forced upon us! I mean I am beginning to not have a choice!"
"Courtney, you will always have a choice! The producers want us to feel that way. You know, poor sick and yet so beautiful young love on this god forsaken island!" Courtney went back to her laid-back attitude.
Courtney held her nose in the air, "Well I am just glad I didn't fall in love!" Bridgette looked over at her and raised an eyebrow.
Courtney gave up "Okay fine, just a small crush, nothing more."
"And we ALL know who that is"
"Who?" Courtney honestly didn't know who her friend thought she had a crush on. Bridgette laughed how can her friend be so naive.
"Duncan! duh!" Courtney turned red. "There is no need to be embarrassed. I admit it, I like Geoff. It doesn't bother me that you know. Don;t be shy just yell it out to the world, Let them know!"
Courtney stood up and took a deep breath, It was now or never.

Duncan, Geoff and DJ ran to the dock of shame and jumped off of it into the waters below. When Duncan got up for breath the fixed his 'hawk', running his fingers through his hair. Geoff fixed his hat. And DJ looked around, something caught his eye.
"Duncan ,man, is that Courtney up there?" Dj pointed to a silhouette of a female standing on the cliff. Duncan followed DJ's finger until he saw Courtney standing all the way up there.
"Yeah that is Princess, why?" Duncan was wondering how DJ spotted the chick from all the way down there.
"I don't know ,dude, is she going to jump?" Geoff looked worried, "She might kill herself" Duncan gulped.
"Should I go stop her?" Duncan asked.
"Yeah dude!" Geoff persuaded him to go. Duncan lifted himself onto the dock. He grabbed his towel and started to dry his hair.
"Dude, if you are going to go, then go" Geoff said impatiently.
'Duncan' was heard in a distance. Duncan turned toward Courtney's silhouette upon hearing his name. He looked over at Geoff and DJ. "What is she saying" the yelling grew louder 'I love Duncan and I don't care who hears!'
"I think she said that she loved you" Goeff explained.
"And doesn't care who hears." DJ added.
"How can you hear that." DJ and Geoff looked at each other then dunked their heads underwater.
"Weird" Duncan mummered, trying to figure out what she had really said.
--
"I love Duncan and I don't care who hears" Courtney yelled once again felling good that it was getting out of her system.
"Louder" Bridgette egged her on.
"I love Duncan and I don't care who- who- who is that?" Courtney said the last part as she pointed to a boy standing up on the dock.
"I don't know camera crew?"
Courtney's eyes bulged slightly and her mouth started to open up a little as she heard the four dreaded words of the mystery man.
'Back at you, Princess!' It yelled back.

The sun was setting, Courtney was yet again on the cliff dangling her feet, trying to comprehend what actually happened earlier that day. The guy she had a crush on heard her say that she loved him. She looked at the sun set.
"It is beautiful, isn't it?"Courtney turned and saw Duncan,
"Hey..." her voice trailed on. She looked back at the sunset. Duncan sat down next to her and put his arm around her.
"Don't be shy" Duncan smirked as she shrugged his arm off of her.
"Be shy about what?" She looked at him.
"about...things" Duncan explained.
"The island is driving me crazy, Why do you think I said what I said. I was being delusional!" Courtney put her hands in her lap.
"Well I wasn't" Courtney cocked her head to one side.
"What do you mean" She was truly curious.
"When I said, Back at you, I meant that. Really." He looked sensible.
Courtney smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder, "Thanks".
"For what?" now he was confused.
"For being a good friend." Courtney gave him a side hug, Duncan hugged her back. His chin rested on her head. When they let go Duncan retorted "Hey, I am not just good!"
Courtney out her head back on his shoulder, "You are right, you are the best" He smiled, he knew she liked him. He turned to look at her. She looked at him back, there gazes met "Your eyes are really pretty" He voice was out of it, hardly sounding like she was even there.
"Yours too." Duncan lifted her chin. She closed her eyes. They both inched closer. Their lips met. Every thing disappeared all they could think about was one another. It was a short sweet kiss, nothing more. But the best kiss for any of them. They parted. She put her head back on his shoulder as her put his arm around her.
"You are right, the sunset is beautiful" Courtney was the first one to speak.
"Princess, I was talking about you." Courtney blushed, yet again.
Duncan turned his head and rested his chin on her head. He kissed her hair. They sat like that for a moment.
"Attention campers, meet me at the mess hall in five minutes!" Chris' voice was on the loud speakers.
Duncan got up then helped Courtney up, "Leave it to Chris to ruin a moment" Courtney laughed at Duncan's comments. They walked back to the camp, hand in hand. Fingers interlocked...
