"What a beautiful and wonderful day it is! The sun shining bright, while the morning breeze gently blowing. It really is a wonderful-" Chris narrated, until a high-pitched screech that came out-of-nowhere cut him off. Chris laughed a low evil laughter and continued wearing a huge grin on his face. "Well it looks like one of our campers don't seem to think that way. Let's go see what's up."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!! I CAN'T FREAKIN' TAKE IT ANYMORE!!" Courtney screamed at the top of her lungs. She was sitting on her bunk with her palms placed on her eyes. Bridgette was seated on her bunk across Courtney.
"Why?? Why is he ALWAYS on my mind?? DAY AND NIGHT!!" Courtney uttered a few more words.
Bridgette's had a worried look on her face. She stood up and sat gently beside Courtney. She whispered, "Courtney, it's alright. Tell me, what's wrong?"
Courtney let out a sigh before placing her hands on her lap. She looked at Bridgette straight-in-the-eye and said, "Duncan. . . that's what's wrong." Courtney then fixed her gaze on the hard, wooden floor. "He's always, ALWAYS on my mind, and I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE."
Bridgette wanted to smirk at what she said, but she tried hard to keep it in. She knew she'd be dead by now if she did smirk or laugh at that matter. When she finally had that controlled, she asked. "Well, do you have any idea why that is? Like, the reason why he's pestering you right now?"
Courtney looked straight up from the floor to Bridgette, "You know my answer! Well, frankly, it's because he always ruins my day by acting like a jerk, acting like a know-it-all, and worst of all, he always calls me PRINCESS!! I ABSOLUTELY AND COHERENTLY HATE IT!!"
Bridgette raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you sure?" Courtney opened her mouth, but Bridgette stopped her before she said anything. She resumed, "Are you absolutely sure that those are the reasons why he's ALWAYS on your mind like you said? Or maybe you're denying something from yourself."
Courtney was speechless for a moment, but managed to say a few words, ". . . That's what I want to think." Bridgette just looked at her, eyebrows raised, waiting for an answer. Courtney just gave up then and there.

Courtney's "toilet interview"
"I just couldn't say no to her. Yes, Bridgette has that look that makes you tell the truth no matter what without getting mad at her or anything. Well, I let myself in and decided to just finally tell her. I mean, it's just Bridgette, what could happen?" Courtney said while waving her left hand in the air.
--
Courtney had an uncertain expression and asked Bridgette, "You won't tell a soul about it, now would you?"
Bridgette just looked at her calmly and immediately responded to her, "Courtney, you know I wouldn't do that."
Courtney groaned, but continued nevertheless, "Fine. Yes, I am denying something from myself. I. . . I like Duncan. You know, like I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY like him. I just find him the most appealing, the cutest, the hottest, most interesting guy among the rest of the male population on this island. He's very rebellious, yet he knows what he's doing. He's very responsible in his own way, and he has a natural skill at leading! And he is sooooooo manipulative. He's soooo good at controlling my feelings and actions, like say or do something to make me hug him or whatever. He's just the epitome of bittersweet!! AND I LOVE IT! I LOVE HIM!! . . . Oh my God Bridgette, WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SAY??"

Bridgette's "toilet interview"
"Wow, I expected her to say something really. . . I don't know. What she just said, I didn't have it coming. I mean, I did expect her to say that she likes Duncan and stuff, but that was a lot to say about him." Bridgette looked really disturbed about it, but she managed to keep her cool.
--
Bridgette laughed at Courtney's last sentence, "Courtney, calm down! Chill! Haha, it's normal to act that way when you like someone. Hey, tell me, what makes you deny your feelings for him anyway?"
Courtney just looked at Bridgette with wide eyes. Then she raised her left hand and scratched the back of her neck, "It just that this has never happened to me ever before. The liking thing I mean. Yes, I did like other guys, but it was never serious. I just admired them. But this time, it's just so different! I'm afraid that if I just let myself accept the fact that I do like Duncan, I might do something really stupid like confess my feelings and end up just being rejected. I don't want to lose him just because of what I feel for him. And besides, he just might hate me even more than he does now if I did tell him. Bridge, I AM GOING CRAZY!"
"No you're not!" says Bridgette. "Courtney, don't be scared. How will you find out if he likes you or not when you can't even at least accept your feelings for him! Who knows, he may feel the exact same way about you! It wouldn't hurt to tell him that you like him!"
Courtney looked taken aback at her last statement, "How can that even be possible?? Duncan and I are opposites Bridge! Complete opposites, take note of that."
Bridgette placed both her hands on Courtney's shoulders and said, "Which proves that opposites attract! And besides, you guys aren't that different. You both are capable leaders, both are very competitive, and both very confident! You know what, just give it a try. C'mon Courtney! Bring back your strong attitude!"
Courtney smiled at Bridgette, "Alright, I'll give it a try."
Bridgette smiled back, "That's the Courtney I know!"
Courtney nodded. There was a short period of silence, until she said, "Well, I sure do need some fresh air after having to let that all out! Wanna go for a walk?"
"Sure. Why not?" Bridgette obliged.
Courtney chuckled and stood up. Courtney followed suit. They went out the girl's cabin and saw Duncan and Geoff sitting at a nearby bench. No, more like lying down. Duncan was just lazily staring up at the sky while Geoff was on the other side of the bench dozing with his face covered with his cowboy hat. Courtney and Bridgette looked at each other and continued walking. Courtney was praying at the back of her mind that they would go unnoticed by Duncan as they were passing by. But of course, her prayers weren't answered.
Duncan noticed Courtney pass by, and immediately shot back up from lying down, which caused a gust of wind to flip over Geoff's hat, waking him up. Duncan stood up and approached Courtney wearing his typical mischievous grin. He wrapped an arm around her and whispered in her ear, "Where you off to, Princess?" The tickling sensation of his breath caused her spine to tremble. That didn't go unnoticed to Duncan. He just smiled at her and whispered once more, "Mind if Geoff and I come with?"
Duncan was expecting her to say "whatever." Or something like "Just don't mess things up." Instead she said in a weary and sincere way, "Not now Duncan, I'm having a little bit of a rough time with a guy right now, so back off." With that, she took his arm off her shoulders and simply walked away, Bridgette following right after.
Duncan stared at her retreating back. Then he felt a hand placed on his shoulder. It was Geoff. "Haha. Dude, was that just my imagination, or were you completely blown-off by Courtney?" Geoff said, with a shrewd smirk.
"What?? No way dude. I was just simply letting her get away with it this time." Duncan shot back at Geoff, glaring.

Duncan's "toilet interview"
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?? How could I just let her blow me off like that?? That wasn't like me!! AGH!! WHAT WAS I THINKING??" Duncan smacked his forehead hard while mumbling to himself.
--
"Dude, whatever you say." Geoff concluded. He saw Duncan watch Courtney intently as she continued walking until she was out-of-sight. Then he proposed, "Wanna sneak up and follow her?"
Duncan grinned like a child. "Geoff, you are on clever guy. I was just thinking of the EXACT same thing."
