Summertime
Courtney sighed as she looked at the ticket she held in her hand. Total drama island had finally ended and everyone had gone their own separate ways. Bridget and Courtney had met up afterwards as they had promised. Bridget had gotten tickets to see a new band that had formed. Courtney couldn't help but feel a small twinge of sadness as she looked at the name on the ticket. 'Delinquents to Royalty' back stage pass. Duncan's face came to mind.
'Maybe this will take my mind of the summer,' she thought to herself. She went upstairs to her room and began to go through her closet for something to where. She pulled a shirt out of the closet that had a small green skull on it. She still couldn't figure out why she felt compelled to buy it, but she did decide to where it. It fit her form perfectly. She put on a pair of plain blue jean pants and black pumps. Something simple.
The door bell rang as Bridget had arrived at her house. 'Time to go,' she thought as she looked herself over in the body mirror on her closet door. She went down stairs and opened the door with a smile. "Hey Bridge," she said to the blonde surfer girl.
"Hey Court, you ready to go?" Bridget asked as she dangled the keys to her dad's new black '07 corvette in front of Courtney's face. The brunette laughed as nodded as she locked the front door behind her.
"So," Courtney asked as they pulled out of the driveway. "How did you manage to get backstage passes to such a hot new band?" The seat belt clicked in place.
"I just have connections," Bridget replied with a wink. Traffic was horrific. Vehicles were backed up for miles, bumper to bumper. 'This band must be amazing,' she thought.
Bridget drove passed the parked vehicles and walking pedestrians and to a VIP parking area. There was a large black man waiting by the gate. Bridget smiled and rolled down her window to show him their tickets. Courtney gasped when the man removed his glasses. Behind the dark shades were friendly familiar eyes. "DJ!" Courtney all but shouted.
"Hey girl," he said with a smile. "You two are clear. Go on in."
"So that is how you did it?" Courtney said looking the blonde over.
"If that is what you want to believe," Bridget replied as she leaned up a bit to make sure the car was going into the parking spot correctly. Bridget caught Courtney raise her eyebrow. "Fine, I got it from the lead singer." She said resolutely.
Courtney was speechless. 'Who was the lead singer? Bridget knew someone famous?' The goody-two-shoes CIT was speechless… for once.
They finally made their way in and to the front of the stage. Their tickets where passes to everything there pretty much. Courtney looked down at herself from boredom and was idly straightening the wrinkles from her only punk shirt. She didn't notice the curtain spread until the crowd went silent. There was a five member band on stage. One on drums, one on a mixer, one on bass, two on electric lead guitars. The lead singer had his back to the crowd and his head down. Courtney felt some familiarity but couldn't put her finger on it. The voice that spoke made her heart jump.
"Thank you for coming out! This first song goes to the first song goes out to a spoiled little brat that made my summer a nightmare… and made it that much better." He said as he turned around and winked. "This one is for that spoiled little princess. If you made it, I miss you babe," the dark headed band leader said throwing up the rock on sign to the audience. "Impossible," Courtney said with her hands over her mouth.
'Duncan…'
The band began to play a strangely soft melody. Courtney watched Duncan scanning the crowd as he played. Courtney turned to Bridget, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"It wouldn't have been a surprise then," Bridget replied with a smile. The band was all familiar. Geoff was on drums, Harold on mixer, Tyler on bass, Trent on guitar, and Duncan was lead singer and guitarist.
Suddenly Courtney's knees turned to jell-o, Duncan had finally spotted her and gave her a wink before he had began to sing into the microphone. His voice was AMAZING!
Do you remember,
Or should I rewind,
To that summer when you caught my eye,
I played it cool,
The weather was hot,
You had the beauty and the beach on lock.
Her mind kept reeling back to the island and the first few days there. The first time they all had a party on the beach. They had so much fun.
With your flip flops, half shirt, short shorts, mini skirt,
Walkin' on the beach, so pretty,
You wasn't lookin' for a man,
When you saw me in the sand,
But you fell for the boy from the city.
Courtney blushed remembering the horribly skimpy outfit she had worn. Somehow, her cloths had come up missing. Everyone knew Heather had taken them. Lindsay had loaned her some of hers… It was so embarrassing. And then they had broke out the keg… Things got pretty wild after that. Everyone did at least one thing they wouldn't normally due.
I was like, "hey, girl, can I get your number?"
I remember what you told me too,
"Don't call after ten"
But you know that I did,
'Cause I couldn't stop thinkin' 'bout you.
'And he brought it up…' She thought.
I think about you in the summertime,
(Oh oh)
And all the good times we had, baby,
Been a few years and I can't deny,
(Oh oh)
The thought of you still makes me crazy,
I think about you in the summertime,
(Oh oh)
I'm sittin' here in the sun with you on my mind.
You're my, my summertime.
Courtney couldn't help but put her hands over her heart. That was so sweat.
Do you remember,
I'll never forget,
Touchin' your body all soakin' wet,
The water was cool,
The feelin' was hot,
Kissin' on you while the ocean rocked.
The brunette's jaw dropped. She couldn't believe he just broadcasted that to their entire community. Even though that was a very romantic and amazing memory. She could still almost feel Duncan's abs beneath her hands. The ocean water made their bodies' slick. The moonlight made both of them glow. She shook her head reverting back to the present.
In your strapless sundress,
Kickin' back, no stress,
As long as we was together,
'Cause we were feelin' young love,
And we couldn't get enough.
Baby, I could reminisce forever.
And now I'm like,
Hey, girl, don't you know I miss it,
And I wonder if you miss it too,
Never thought it would end 'til it did,
Now, I'm here and I can't stop thinkin' 'bout you.
Courtney couldn't deny it. The entire three years after the show had ended, she did nothing but think about the Neanderthal. Everything brought him back to her mind… and her heart.
I think about you in the summertime,
(Oh oh)
And all the good times we had, baby,
Been a few years and I can't deny,
(Oh oh)
The thought of you still makes me crazy,
I think about you in the summertime,
(Oh oh)
I'm sittin' here in the sun with you on my mind.
You're my, my summertime.
Courtney and Bridget were both caught off guard as a deep, baritone, voice come from none other than Harold.
Spoken: Break it down.
The next part pulled at Courtney's heart. Duncan reached his hand out to Courtney singing directly at her.
Summer ended,
Winter started,
It got colder,
When we parted ways,
(Spoken: I like this part.)
As the seasons change.
(Spoken: Bring it forward, bring it back)
Winter melted,
Spring I felt it,
Summertime will never be the same,
(Without you. My summertime.)
My summertime.
Courtney thought that she was about to start crying. She hadn't really thought about how much she missed the delinquent more than she thought.
I think about you in the summertime,
I think about you
(Oh oh)
And all the good times we had, baby,
We had baby
It's been a few years and I can't deny,
I can't deny
(Oh oh)
The thought of you still makes me crazy,
Makes me crazy
I think about you in the summertime,
(Oh oh)
I'm sittin' here in the sun with you on my mind.
On my mind,
My summertime.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh yeah.
The song had drawn to a close. Unlike most bands, Duncan didn't crowd surf. Instead, DJ and another large man were behind Courtney, "Up you go," they said as they lifted her up onto the stage. Duncan winked at her as he sang the last part of the song. Courtney ran towards him for once not caring if her parents saw. She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him close.
"What's this for Princess?" He asked with a smirk.
"Shut up and kiss me," she said with tears in her eyes.
"As you wish," he replied with an actual smile before they closed the distance and their lips met. The crowd went wild.
