Story I thought up based on the movie the Ugly Truth. If you haven't seen that movie then go look it up right now. The lead actor and actress personalities mirror Duncan and Courtney's personalities exactly. It was really enjoyable to watch. :) Anyway I own nothing. The plot belongs to the Ugly Truth other than the few twists I'm adding. Please enjoy.
No one's P.O.V
Our story begins with two people who thought they knew everything there was to know about love. One of them thought love was pointless and only led to heart break so it should be avoided at all costs while the other was desperate to find love and be loved by that perfect someone. Our story starts off at school with an A-Type princess at the top of her class and a bad boy who could care less about anyone and anything.
"He's so cute! Isn't he cute?" Bridgette asks her best friend Courtney excitedly as Courtney follows the teacher's every move with her eyes while writing down every important word being said. "Yes. He's very cute Bridge. You guys will look perfect together." Courtney says with a bored tone as she continues taking her notes.
Bridgette finally takes her eyes off of Geoff in order to frown at Courtney. "Courtney! Your not even looking." Bridgette complains as Courtney rolls her eyes finally looking at Bridgette for the first since class start 45 minutes ago. "I know who your talking about Bridge. You'd a crush on Geoff for the past six months. I don't have to look at him every time." Courtney says shortly before turning back towards her notes.
"I know but it'd be nice if you could at least glance at him. I mean I always look at Scott for you when you go off on your rant about how perfect he is." Bridgette says crossing her arms and letting out a disappointed huff. Scott... The boy Courtney's been obsessed with for the past four months. The boy who was so perfect for her but never looked her way.
Courtney's eyes drift over to look at Scott subtly as blush splashes over her cheeks. "Well... Yeah but... It's not like I ask you too." Courtney says as Bridgette narrows her yes at her. "You do ask every time." Bridgette says making Courtney sigh in defeat. "I know I know. Fine." Courtney sighs then glances over at Geoff who was laughing at something Duncan just said.
"Ugh... Why does he hang out with that ogre?" Courtney asks in disgust as Bridgette follows her gaze right to Duncan. "Who? Duncan? He's not that bad. You just have to get to know him." Bridgette says with a shrug while Courtney scrunches up her nose disapprovingly
"Let me guess. Geoff said that?" Courtney asks making Bridgette blush. Her face answering Courtney's question before her mouth could. "So what if he did." Bridgette says blushing up a storm while Courtney rolls her eyes. "Duncan's his best friend. Of course Geoff isn't going to tell you what an ogre he really is." Courtney says as if it was the most obvious thing ever.
"Now class, for this project you must work together to write me a research report on some of the greatest pieces of literature known to man by the greatest authors of all time. Scott will be paired with Dawn. Bridgette will be paired with Geoff." The teacher announces making Courtney groan. Dawn's so lucky and so is Bridgette.
Bridgette gets paired with her crush. Dawn gets paired with Scott. She hoped that she'd at least be paired with someone who isn't annoying and is willing to do their half of the paper. "Courtney will be paired with Duncan." The teacher says as he continues to go down his list.
Courtney's eyes widen. Did he just say she was paired with the ogre?! This must be some kind of sick joke!? "Alright those are all the pairs. You have until the end of next month. I want you and your partner sitting next to you in class so get up and change seats accordingly. Also they'll be no changing partners so your stuck with your partner until the project is finished so try to get along. Also this project is worth fifty percent of your final grade so if you don't want to retake this course I suggest you take it seriously." The teacher says as everyone groans obviously unhappy with their partners.
Courtney's eyes widen in horror as Bridgette and the ogre switch seats. "Hello there sexy. The names Duncan. What's your name sweetheart?" Duncan asks as Courtney glares at him. "I know who you are ogre. Don't ever call me sexy or sweetheart again. My name is Courtney and you can keep all the cheap tricks you use to get into other girls' pants to yourself you man whore." Courtney hisses out putting as much distance between her and Duncan as possible.
"Ah. So I've got a princess on my hands I see." Duncan says with a smirk as Courtney glares daggers into him. "My name is Courtney! C-O-U-R-T-N-E-Y, Courtney! So don't call me anything but Courtney." Courtney says annoyed as Duncan smirk widens.
"I don't know about calling you Courtney. Princess just seems to fit you so much better." Duncan says with a smirk and a shrug "How so?" Courtney asks "Well your uptight, your sending off I'm better than everyone else vibes, and I get the feeling that your a complete control freak." Duncan explains making Courtney gasp.
"I am not a control freak! There's nothing wrong with wanting to be able to control certain things that happen in your life." Courtney huffs defensively "Mhm yeah okay. Just make sure you get our project done." Duncan says pulling out some head phones.
"Hold on. What do you mean 'make sure you get our project done'? Your going to help me." Courtney says seriously making Duncan burst out laughing. Courtney continues to serious him seriously making him finally calm down. "Oh... You were serious. Yeah I'm not helping you with shit." Duncan says calmly
"The hell you aren't! I'm not doing this by myself! You can fuck all the girls you want and walk away. But this project is something your going to take seriously." Courtney says seriously "Can you stop bringing up chicks?! Damn. At least I get them. I've never seen you with any guys Princess." Duncan says making me frown.
"I've got a guy." Courtney says before she can stop herself. "You've got a guy?" Duncan asks with a smirk "Yes." Courtney says making him roll his eyes. "Oh really? Tell me about him then." Duncan says making Courtney go silent. She looks over at Scott quickly but to her dismay Duncan noticed.
"Scott? You've got to be kidding me." Duncan laughs as Courtney blushes and frowns. "Oh shut up! He's better than you'll ever be." Courtney says defensively as Duncan continues to laugh. "Oh yeah. I'm so sure. He probably hasn't even looked in your direction before has he?" Duncan asks with a knowing smirk making Courtney go silent.
"That's what I thought. How about I make you deal princess? You do all the work for our project since I hear your so smart and I'll help you reel that guy in." Duncan says with smirk. Courtney looks at Duncan in disbelief. "Come on princess. No matter how supposedly perfect you believe Scott is. He's still guy and I'm a guy. I know how guys think and I know what guys want. Considering the fact that he probably doesn't even know you exist. What do you have to lose?" Duncan asks making Courtney bite her lip.
"And if whatever little plan you thought of doesn't work? What do I get?" Courtney asks curiously as Duncan thinks a for a moment. "If Scott doesn't fall head over heels for you then I'll tell the teacher that I didn't do any work and take an F for the project." Duncan says with a shrug. "Your kidding right?! It's worth fifty percent of our grade! Your really that confident?" Courtney asks in shock as Duncan smirks
"Yep and the clock is ticking Princess." Duncan says calmly nodding over at Dawn and Scott laughing together. Courtney bites her lip nervously her eyes shifting Duncan and the laughing pair. "Fine! You've got yourself a deal." Courtney says reaching out and shaking Duncan's hand as he smirks at her.
"Good choice. Don't worry. Scott will be your bitch in no time with my help." Duncan says with a smirk as Courtney frowns. "Scott is not a bitch! He's a man. A tall handsome strong man." Courtney sighs as Duncan rolls his eyes. "Yeah, yeah I get it. Now first things first. We'll need to get him to talk you." Duncan says as the lunch bell rings.
Courtney stands up and gathers her things with her. "Come with me." Duncan says as he stands up and starts pulling Courtney with him to the door. "But Bridgette and I always have lunch together." Courtney protests as Duncan rolls his eyes. "Do you want his guy or not?!" Duncan asks seriously cutting off Courtney's protests "Besides your friend seems a bit busy anyway." Duncan says making Courtney glance over and see Bridgette blushing and laughing with Geoff. "I guess your right." Courtney says no longer protesting "Of course I am. Now let's go." Duncan says pulling her outside the classroom.
Tsk tsk, Courtney. Didn't your mother ever tell you not to make deals with the Devil? Anyway how are you like it so far? I'm sorry if Duncan or Courtney seem out of character. This is my first time ever writing about them so I'm trying my best to portray them correctly. Please tell me what you think ^-^ ~Little Miss CIT
