It's the first day of school at Wawanakwa High (located in Ontario Canada). Only Canada's finest attend. The school is your typical high school (if boarding school is typical) full of drama, cliques, rivalries, flings, hook-ups, and couples. The school's principle is Chris McLean, once a well-known talk show host now reduced to a school's director. There's also the school's head chief and vice principle chef Hatchet.
Like every normal school there's the popular crowd, also known as "The Alliance" who's only mission in school is to torture their fellow classmates and particular prey. Leader of "The Alliance" is Heather, a rich, snoopy, spoiled brat who considers herself a princess and waltzes around school and tries to be one, Lindsay, a typical "Blonde" and Heather's right hand woman who's beauty counts more than her brains, finally Beth, a nerd who admires Heather to the point of submission but too self-conscious to strike out on her on.
There are also two rival gangs, the Killer Bass and the Screaming Gophers that share their equal hatred of "The Alliance" but also have their own conflicts.
The first gang is the Killer Bass, composed of Duncan; a rebellious teenager on the wrong side of the law, his best friend and wingman Geoff; a blonde skater who's loyalties lies with his crew, DJ; looks like Tarzan acts like Jane with a tough side if his friends or family are threatened, Tyler; a jock who falls short in the brains department, but is fiercely loyal to his friends (and especially to his girlfriend Lindsay although on the rival gang), Harold; the team's nerd who's freakish ways would usually earn him a kick in the butt or a slap on the head, and who's constantly bullied by Duncan, DJ, and Geoff, but nevertheless remains loyal to his friends who at times learn to respect the red head nerd. There's also Bridgette; a surfer chick from Malibu who's father's job landed her in Ontario and also serves as the gang's medic, being the few with medical training, and finally Courtney; the gang's most ambitious member and the bossiest, often times annoying the group but usually ends up being right, much to their annoyance.
Their ally and sometimes rival the Screaming Gophers composed of; Trent; the gang's main leader who's also a fabulous musician, Owen; the fun-loving and food loving member who acts as Trent's wingman, Cody; a lovesick teenager obsessed with his fellow Gopher Gwen, though she doesn't return the feelings, Gwen; the once loner now in a gang with friends, love interest, and close to family relations, Leshawna; the wannabe ghetto chick with a big boobs, big butt, and an even bigger voice, but all fall short of her bigger heart, and Izzy; the survival know-it-all who's romantic interests lies in Owen, the two actually got closer over the summer.
And finally there are the BFFFLs (Best Female Friend For Life) consisting of Katie and Sadie: the school's girly outgoing, and loud clique whose loyalties often fall with the Killer Bass.
"Welcome students to the first day of Wawanakwa high! I'm Chris McLean, your principle and this is Chef Hatchet your vice principal and head cook!" Chris's loud voice sounded over the loud speakers scattered through the campus. "I hope you all have found your rooms and roomies livable, if not…talk to the school board or your parents." Chris's voice continued over the speaker.
In the girl's dorm Bridgette was unpacking her bags from the summer. "So Court, how was your summer?" The blonde surfer asked her brunette best friend.
"It was fine, working at the Mayor's office was pretty boring. I was actually excited when my final day came. How was Malibu and your dad?" Courtney responded, she had been working at the Mayor's office to receive extra credit, although she was the last person at school who needed it.
"Eh it was fine, my dad had some hot new girlfriend, who could probably pass as my older sister. Plus my brother hooked up with every girl in the Malibu. So I spent most of it by myself at the beach." Bridgette responded, sadness edged in her voice.
"I'm sorry. It must suck." Courtney replied, laying a comforting hand on her best friend's shoulder. Bridgette just nodded in response.
Across the hall Gwen, Leshawna, and Izzy are getting situated in their own rooms.
"So Gwen how was your art camp?" Leshawna asks her Goth friend and roommate.
"It was fun, I met this really cool kid named Trent. He was taking the guitar." Gwen replied, smiling and blushing at the mention of her summer fling's name.
"Cool! Do we get to met him?" Izzy asks, jumping into the conversation while unloading her stuff onto her bunk opposite of Leshawna and Gwen's.
"I don't know. He was just here for the camp, I think he said something about living in Toronto." Gwen sighed; just thinking of Trent and their two weeks of art camp was enough to bring butterflies to her stomach.
In the building opposite of the girl's dorms Duncan, DJ, Geoff, Harold, and Tyler all began to unload their stuff.
"So man how was juvie?" Geoff asks his green hair buddy.
"It was fine, nothing to report. Nothing changed in a year, except crappier food." Duncan responded, unloading his bags on the bottom bunk beneath Geoff.
"Yo DJ how was your summer?" Duncan asks, switching the group's attention to the muscular teenager.
"It was cool, I volunteered at the animal shelter. I even adopted a rabbit. I call him, 'Bunny'." DJ replied, holding up a small rabbit with large eyes and a fluffy tale. His roommates and best pals were unimpressed but nevertheless found the bunny cute.
"I hope all you students have found your rooms and living condition. Dinner is served in five minutes at the dinning hall! Don't be late!" Chris's voice sounded over the loud speakers planted outside the building, and in the lobby of the dorms.
"Let's go boys. Time to eat up." Duncan announced, leading the group of guys out of their wings and through the front doors of their building to find Courtney and Bridgette waiting outside for them.
"Hey guys! How was summer?" Bridgette asks, high-fiving Duncan and receiving a large bear hug from DJ.
"It was awesome, totally missed you guys though." DJ responded, letting the shorter blonde go from his tight hug. "I also adopted a pet rabbit. Bridgette met Bunny." DJ continued holding up the little rabbit for Bridgette and Courtney to look at.
"Aww he's so cute! Can I hold him?" Bridgette asks, smiling down at the little fur-ball. DJ nodded and handed the surfer the small rabbit.
"Hey princess. How was torturing the mayor?" Duncan asks, focusing his attention on the Hispanic teen beside him.
"Very funny. How was jail?" Courtney rolled her eyes and spat back at the green and black haired teen next to her. Duncan just smiled and the group began to walk towards the dinning hall.
Back in the Gophers boy's wing Trent was getting situated with his new roommates.
"So dudes what did you guys do during summer?" Trent asks his friends.
"It was awesome! I went to this camp where there was an all you can eat buffet! It was awesome!" Owen replies, eyes glazing over with memory.
"I went to an art camp, and I met this really cool chick there. Her name was Gwen." Trent stated, eyes sparkling at the mention of her name. Little did the guitar loving teen know, Gwen was thinking about him too.
"Dudes I met a girl named Gwen too! Her parents live next to my uncle, pretty cool." Cody says.
"I know a girl named Gwen too. She goes to this school! She's pretty cool, but kind of scary." Owen says. Cody and Trent ignore his last comment and head off to the dinning hall.
When the boys got outside they saw Gwen talking to Leshawna and Izzy.
"Hey guys! Ready to go get some chow?" Izzy asks, smiling at Owen, who openly waved back at the adventurous redhead.
"Sure I'm starved!" Owen replies, and the group begins the short walk over to the dinning hall.
"Hey I thought you said you had to go home?" an annoyed Gwen asks Trent.
"Yeah, well my parent's decided to send me to boarding school instead. I hear they have a really good music program here so my parent's thought it be a good thing for me. Plus it looks great on college applications if you put down 'boarding school'." Trent replies, smiling at the Goth girl next to him, however Gwen still seems unimpressed.
In the dinning hall the Screaming Gophers meet the Killer Bass for the first time of the new semester.
"Leshawna! Gwen! Hey!" Bridgette waves from the dinner line.
"Hey girl! I didn't know you came to this school? What's up?" Leshawna asks the blonde surfer.
"I just moved here! I didn't know you came here either." Bridgette replies, giving Leshawna and Gwen a big hug, while making room for them in line.
"Yeah I've been going here since 7th grade. Plus my little brother goes here too." Gwen replies, grabbing Leshawna and herself a tray.
"Hey I'm Courtney." Courtney greats the Gopher girls, holding out a hand.
"Sup girl. How do know my girl Bridgette?" Leshawna asks the brunette, shaking her hand.
"We've been friends since freshman year. We went to the same school before I transferred here." Courtney replied, taking her serving of food from the servers and grabbing the table furthest from the door.
"So Leshawna how was summer?" Bridgette asks, also receiving her own serving while Leshawna is being served hers.
"It was fun, I went to Jersey shore! Man those Italians are so hip. I even saw Snookie!" Leshawna replies excitedly. She grabs a cup of water and goes to sit on the large table closet to the door. Bridgette smiles at her friend and joins Courtney at the Bass's table.
"Hey princess looks like you left room for me. How sweet of you." Duncan's voice sounded in Courtney's ear as she bit into the sloppy Joe she was eating.
"Like I'd want to be closer to you than necessary." Courtney's quick reply came out. Duncan just smirked at her lame attempt of an insult.
"Gwen what's wrong girl?" Leshawna asks her gothic friend.
"It's Heather. Ever since we arrived back at school she's been on my case. I can't stand her!" Gwen growled at her ghetto friend. Leshawna understood.
Heather, Lindsay, and Beth all shared a dorm room in the same wing, as the three Gophers' and none of them particularly liked the spoiled rich girl.
"I hear that. She dissed my outfit, earrings, and my thighs in one day. That skinny white chick is gonna pay!" Leshawna growled promising revenge on an unsuspecting Heather. Gwen nodded and Izzy gladly joined in to help.
"Sup dudes, the food is awesome! I can't believe we get sloppy Joes! They're my favorite!" Geoff said, sitting down next to Bridgette and across from Duncan.
"I know man, the food here is way better than juvie." Duncan responded, taking a bit from his meal.
"Yo dudes, have you looked at your class assignments yet?" DJ asks, sitting down on the other side of Bridgette.
"No why?" Duncan asks, whipping his mouth with a napkin.
"Cause I was looking at the schedules and the classes, Eva goes here." DJ replies. That froze the entire Killer Bass table.
"What? You mean crazy, scary, exercise-obsessed Eva?" Courtney asks, shocked like everyone else.
"Yeah, there's also Katie and Sadie, and Justin." DJ responds, eating his meal.
"What am I going to do? Eva hates me. Ever since freshman year she's hated me." Bridgette states, fear itched into the blonde's face.
"Relax brah, there's no way Eva's going to do anything to you. I won't let it happen." Geoff's attempt at calming the nerves of the surfer girl, "I mean we won't let her do anything happen to you." Geoff corrects himself. Bridgette however didn't seem to notice.
"It's ok Bridge, she'd have to be insane to mess with you if we have anything to say about it." Harold's voice came from behind Duncan. He sat down his tray next to the brunette.
"Thanks guys. What building is she in?" Bridgette asks. Everyone turned to DJ.
"Um…the west dorm." DJ responds quietly. Everyone immediately tenses at the mention of Courtney and Bridget's building.
"Yo its cool guys. We'll just make sure someone's always with Bridgette so she'll have the advantage of numbers." Geoff says, trying to be positive in the tense situation.
"Yeah but guys can't go in the girl's room before 9 or after 7. And I'm pretty sure Eva won't be scared of Courtney. So what do we do?" Duncan asks, "No offense babe." He adds quickly at Courtney's confused look.
"Duncan's right, Eva's scary. And she knows it too. We're gonna need some serious help if we're going to be able to keep Bridgette safe." Harold agrees with the delinquent. Everyone nods in agreement.
"Fine, Killer Bass meeting after dinner. We'll meet at the bonfire. 01900 hours. Don't be late." Duncan concludes. With that said they continue their meal in mostly stories of summer and vacations. Once they're all finished they clean up and head towards the bonfire pit, located near the docks by the school's lake.
At the Screaming Gopher's table they have issues as well.
"Guys Heather is here. What are we going to do?" Gwen asks her fellow Gophers.
"What's the big deal about Heather?" Trent asks, totally confused why the beautiful blue haired girl is concerned about a fellow classmate.
"Because she's manipulative, lying, back-stabbing, bitch! And she also almost made Leshawna and me quit being friends. She can't be trusted." Gwen replies, outrageous by his lack of empathy towards the situation.
"Ok, chill I didn't know." Trent replies, putting up his hands in defeat.
"I say we ignore her, see if she goes away." Owen says, taking a bit of his meal.
"Heather doesn't just 'go away'. If she goes, she goes with a wake of destruction behind her." Leshawna replies, angered like Gwen about Heather's return to the school.
"Well what building is she in?" Trent asks, continuing to eat his food.
"The east building. With us." Gwen replies, glaring across the table at the dark haired teenager.
"Oh, that's not good. Why don't you try to talk to her, sort it all out?" Trent asks, still not understanding the reason of Gwen, Leshawna and Izzy's beef with Heather.
"Because Heather will do something manipulative like always. She's been this way ever since her father became rich of his 'get rich quick schemes'. She hasn't always been selfish though, that's just a new things. She actually used to be nice, than high school." Gwen replied, remembering when Heather, Lindsay, Beth, and them had actually been friends.
"Well then try to make amends. It'd be nice to have more members to the Screaming Gophers. The Killer Bass already have more dudes than we do, we could definitely use some more members." Trent replied, smiling at Gwen, who blushed in response.
At the bonfire (or fire pit) the Killer Bass start their first official meeting since arriving at Wawanakwa High.
"Ok, with Eva back that means we're going to have to expand our group. I know Tyler's in for joining, he may be a wimp but at least it adds another body, and Katie and Sadie, though they're both idiots, we could use them for something I'm sure of." Duncan begins the meeting.
"I agree with adding Tyler, but I don't understand why we need Katie and Sadie. They're two idiots that can't stand to be separated, not to mention I don't know how they even got into the school." Courtney objected first.
"True on Katie and Sadie, but at least it'd add eyes to watch Bridgette. We could always add the new kid, Ezekiel?" Geoff adds his input.
"Ok Ezekiel could work, but wasn't he homeschooled? Does he know anything on fighting?" Duncan asks. Geoff just shrugs his shoulders.
"Well we're not letting him protect Bridgette from Eva unless he can defend her! We'll need someone better than that!" Courtney yells at the two teen males.
"Ok chill brah-" Geoff began, but was interrupted by Courtney's venting.
"No! I will not 'chill brah' just because you think putting my best friend in the protection of a homeschooled, nose picking, socially inept moron that can't even carry on a decent conversation with someone, let alone defend my best friend from an short-tempered, emotional unstable, exercise-holic that wants Bridgette's head on a stick!" Courtney yelled at the beach boy and his delinquent best friend.
"Yo Courts right, no way can Ezekiel get the responsibility of Bridgette's safety without a couple tests and training." DJ agreed with the Venezuelan teen.
"Alright fine, I'll train him and make sure he's up for the task." Duncan caved, noticing the satisfied smile from the brunette and his blonde friend with the cowboy hat.
"Great now that that's settled, lets hit the hay man. Classes start tomorrow." DJ announced, yawning and walking back towards the dorms. The rest of the Killer Bass agreed and walked back to their respected dorms.
OK so first TDI fanfic! So much DRAMA! So I hope you'll like the rivalries and the friendship between these different teams…a little warning: the Killer Bass (mainly Bridgette, Courtney, Duncan, and Geoff are probably the protagonist in the story. And most likely the Gophers aren't going to always be the most likeable characters). Also the pairings are as followed (also in the description): Bridgette/Geoff, Courtney/Duncan, Gwen/Trent, Leshawna/Harold (Mostly one sided on Harold's side), Izzy/Owen (Minor relationship), Heather/Alejandro (Alejandro will be a small part only appearing a couple of times), Beth/Cody (Minor), and Lindsay/Tyler (Minor)
