Courtney POV:
The last challenge of the season was finally over and everyone was having a good time off of Owen's win. We weren't allowed off of the island right away and will be brought back to Playa Des Losers soon to get final interviews and things done.
I didn't want to be here any longer, this was a complete waste of time considering I was unfairly voted off. I could have been at school getting somewhere with my life (the show was actually filmed through the whole year we were expected to go to interviews and things when we weren't on the island, therefore we missed a lot of school). I can't say that this whole thing was worth it, some may argue that I should be happy because I met a lot of people on this island and it was a great opportunity but I'll be honest this whole thing was a sham to get views, everyone on this island knew everyone else some way or another.
Trent, Gwen, Bridgette, Geoff, Duncan, Heather and I all came from the same school, the other people on the island all came from different schools that are around the same area as our school. In fact Trent, Bridgette and I have been best friends since we were practically in diapers, Geoff was also one of my good friends but he didn't hang out with Bridgette and Trent because schedules never really worked out and from the very beginning he had a crush on Bridgette and was too much of a chicken to talk to her so yeah we never really all hung out together.
As for Heather, Bridgette and I were friends with her since we were 5, once we came on the island we all made a deal to not to let our friendship be involved in this competition so we decided to not be friends on the show and whatever happened, there were no hard feelings in the end. You would probably wonder why that was necessary and you would probably ask well if your friendship is that strong why don't you guys form an alliance instead of breaking apart and what I say to that is there is no way we could be allies, Heather and I are way to competitive for that and theres no way we would expect Bridgette to pick between us for an alliance. It would completely tear us apart and we would not be able to go home and be the friends we were in the beginning.
Now as for Duncan we have all knew of him and for a brief period of time Trent and I were friends with Duncan, this was when we were about 6 years old but then something happened and we kind of broke away from Duncan and as we grew older it became clear that Duncan was fitting in better with a different type of crowd. He started getting in trouble more and more and he constantly picked on and teased me just to get a reaction. This further pulled us in the opposite direction.
Once we were on the show Chris gave us all a part to play, it was all just a big shit show of bullshit. We were told to act a certain way and were suppose to act this way the whole time on the show if things didn't go as planned Chris had us redo the whole scene.
From the beginning Duncan and I were not suppose to be dating on the show but ratings showed that people loved our chemistry, so for the most part Chris let us act the way we wanted to towards each other. Though I never in the history of ever would have thought that this would be the result of the show with Duncan and I having these feelings but as we hung out behind the scenes we grew close and our friend group got a little bigger.
Now on to Gwen, she Bridgette and I were best friends at one point but when we got into high school things took a drastic change as Gwen began to hang out with different people and started to do things to Bridgette and I, i.e kissed my first boyfriend and spreading rumours about Bridgette that were just uncalled for to say the least. We don't really know what has been going on with her but she is definitely no friend of ours.
When we got on the island Bridgette, Heather and I avoided Gwen, her nice girl personality was not going to last, we all knew that and surprisingly the biggest and most dramatic outcome of her actions happened off cameras. Gwen in front of everyone sitting around the fire pushed me into the fire pit, I was lucky that Geoff was about to put the fire out at the moment because if it wasn't for him my burns would not have been able to hide behind makeup. This led to a lot of events on the show and off, Duncan and I became even closer and we finally kissed on the show, but Heather also tricked Gwen and Trent and kissed Trent to get back at Gwen because even though she was 'not my friend' at the time she also could not let the opportunity pass her because we all know that Heather definitely has a mean streak.
Anyway more on our whole back story later, I was taking a break from all of the festivities by walking along the beach. I was definitely going to miss being here despite what people had seen on the T.V we actually had a pretty good time after the cameras were turned off. The whole show was supposed to be 'live' and the cameras were suppose to be constantly on but after the ratings of the first episode, Chris decided to take matters into his own hands and he decided to record the episode and make us act a certain way so that the ratings would be better and he could get more money out of us.
As I walked along I could hear the cheering and music from the party Owen was throwing, and that, compared to the utter silence of mother nature, was starting to creep me out. I turned back and start to walk towards the music and cheering once again.
RUSTLE! CRUNCH!
I quickly turned around expecting to see someone following me, but also feeling completely ridiculous at thinking someone was following me. After seeing it was just a bird flying out of a bush I sighed in relief and turned back and started walking back once again.
Duncan's POV:
Geoff and I high-five as we scored our winning shot of beer pong. We were in a pretty tense game against Tyler and Justin while everyone around us cheered and drank and the music blasted.
Bridgette came up to us smiling and gave Geoff and hug while say, "Congrats guys!" She turned to me and smiled, "Duncan, Courtney was looking for you earlier. Have you guys made up yet?"
Courtney and I had a fight near the end of the season because while she was on Playa Des Losers I was getting a little too close to Gwen. Of course this was all Chris' idea and he made our actions seem worse then what I myself wanted. After I was booted off and had to face Courtney once again, we had a very long chat about what we both wanted and whether I thought this was a game or not. She was furious but also upset, she thought I treated this whole thing the way I have treated her back home when we were in school and that I was teasing her and picking on her. I don't blame her for thinking that but I assured her that it was in no way anything like that so she gave me another chance. I smirked at Bridgette, "Yeah, you know the princess couldn't resist me. Where'd you see her at?"
She let go of Geoff and pointed towards the beach, "She was heading for a walk that way. You know that the cameras aren't running right now right? You don't have to call her princess."
I smirked at her response, "I think it's gonna stick I like the nickname for her it really matches. I'm gonna go find her see you guys later." As I was about to run off to find her I saw Bridgette roll her eyes while smiling, she turned back to Geoff and they walked off towards a seating area, probably to make out.
I made my way towards the beach not expecting to see no one, at all. I shrug and make my way back to the party. I look around and could not find her anywhere so I decided to go talk to Bridgette again, when I found her she looked at me questioningly and I sighed, "I couldn't find her on the beach, not like there was anywhere to look. Could you go check the bathroom for me cause I can't find her anywhere."
She nodded and made her way towards the girls bathroom, of course not before kissing Geoff and giving him a apologetic look. Once she was gone out of earshot Geoff looked at me smirking, "What's wrong tough guy, afraid she's avoiding you?"
I cross my arm and roll my eyes, "Pfft, yeah right." I sat down to wait, "It's just weird you know? She asked to talk to me but I can't find her anywhere. What is she trying to do?"
Geoff laughed, "Dude you of all people should know girls are complicated and that yours is no exception. If anything yours is one of the most complicated."
I smirk, "How can you say that shouldn't you be her friend or something? I don't think friends work that way dude."
Geoff laughed once again, "Dude that's why I'm saying it, I've known her forever so I know how she can be, she's one of my best friends but she is just like any other teenage girl so yeah I can say that and I can definitely say she is one of the worse ones, I tell her all the time. It's kind of our thing at this point."
I smirk once again and shake my head in amusement. That's when I notice Bridgette on her way back, but she wasn't coming back with Courtney she was dragging Chris by his ear back to us with an angry look on her face.
I quickly get up and look at them both, "What's going on?" At this point Geoff got up as well and was clearly on high alert considering his girlfriend was pissed and was dragging Chris towards us.
Once Bridgette reached us she pushed Chris towards us and glared at him "Tell them what you told me."
Chris looked a little nervous, "Courtney went back home, she was sent back because she was threatening to sue, so I sent her home, she already did her final interview and signed the papers that needed signing so she's gone home."
I glare at him, "What do you mean she's gone home?! You're the one keeping us all here and now you are just sending her home out of no where. Don't tell me about that threatening to sue bullshit! You know that's a lie!"
Chris crossed his arms and glared at me as Chef came up behind him, "It's no point fighting Duncan, she left willingly. She will be in your home town until further notice and you all will be here to go on to the next season of the show."
