Chapter 2

Under certain circumstances

Again I own nothing but I wish I did… I remember watching the first promo for total drama island and I was like Oh my god! I totally want to watch this!

I think I'll continue writing a couple more chapters then stop seeming as though no one reviewed ehh but who really cares… I think I'm going to minor the POV's but I'll still indicate it at some points.

If total drama actually makes a Trent and Courtney couple I'll so totally love them for that… And sorry if I accidentally copied someones story line… but it was sort of an obvious story line

Courtney

The whole day went by in a blur. I still really couldn't believe the reality that was happening. In one day, Trent my former cast mate had moved to my school, harassed by girls then invited me to hang out at … well I still wasn't sure where he invited me to yet but… I really had no other choice for friends. Cammie had ditched me and made my life miserable and Duncan jus-. "Oh my god!" I screamed as I thought of my brilliant plan. Gwen and Trent dated for a while on the first season back when all was good. If I could get Trent to like me then Duncan would become jealous and dump Goth Girl to take me back! IT was full proof! Some random guy honked his horn at me and snapped me back to reality. I was driving home from school, completely unaware of what was happening around me. I watched as the red light turn green and I quickly drove home

My family seemed happy that I actually had a smile on my face when I got home. I smirked as I analyzed my plan over and over again. Once something went into my mind it was set there was no getting rid of it. I could imagine already:

Duncan was watching the news on his tiny TV, with Gwen resting on his shoulder. She was sound asleep. Just then a celebrity update came up. "Trent and Courtney Dating?" it said. Underneath it said "is it real love, or just Revenge?" " What the Hell?" he groaned. Gwen shuffled in her sleep. Duncan watched the news skeptically. Pictures of the couple flashed up. Trent and Courtney on the beach, holding hands. Trent and Courtney, at a fancy Italian Restaurant, looking into each other's eyes. Trent and Courtney playing their instruments together, the caption said "Making beautiful music together." A picture of Gwen and Duncan popped up in a heart, slowly the heart cracked up. "What do Gwen and Duncan think? Are they jealous? Coming up next at Celebrity Manhunt Update," Duncan got up quickly, forgetting Gwen was on his shoulder, her head hit the couch, "Trent ,"she murmured. He looked at her in disgust, and looked back at the TV, a video popped up of Courtney, she was surrounded by the paparazzi and she had gigantic sunglasses on even though it was late out, she had a completely different outfit on it was a lot… unCourtney. "Princess," he muttered.

I squealed. This is gonna work out perfect! I understood the fact that I was going to have to get Trent on my side but, once he heard my plan I was positive he was going to follow… but just on the safe side… I think he still probably thinks I'm an annoying brat so it would probably a better idea to get on his good side. I took out the little post-it in my pocket. Heh, he had no idea what was coming… Duncan I mean. I took a shower singing the song" You belong with me/Taylor Swift" If you could see that I'm the one who understands you, been here all along so why can't you Seeeeee, you belong with meeee!" I'm glad that Taylor Swift got her happy ending in the video, but it was my turn now… even if I have to use another guy to get him back. Teehee I felt so evil, but I knew that it was coming after all Gwen became the new Heather (after taking Trent errr… I mean Duncan), and well Heather was Heather (after kissing Trent) so now all there was left to become Heather was me. I blow dried my hair and put on one of my favorite dresses , that I haven't wore for a while. I smiled at my reflection, the fact that I haven't been eating so much these days actually payed off. I checked my clock. Crap it was 5:30! And I didn't even know where I was supposed to be meeting him at. I quickly applied a tiny bit of makeup not to much that made me look trashy like Goth Girl but enough that I didn't look like Beth.

I drove my car out to the address, I was already late 1 minute and 37 seconds… not that I want to be sort of a freak. I finally found the place, it wasn't even a real address it was actually the mall. We had a big mall here, so I didn't understand where I was supposed to find him. I parked my car and got out. Suddenly I heard a bunch of girls screaming, and I suddenly knew where he was. I followed the screaming until I found a huge crowd of girls surrounding someone. And I thought he wanted to be away from his stalkers. I squeezed though the crowd, but got tripped and fell to the ground instead. A hand stuck out in front of my face. "Hey Courtney," he said with a little smirk. I got up by myself without his help and marched away. From the corner of my eye I saw him standing there with a confused look on his face. For a moment there I felt bad and wanted to turn back around and say thanks, but then I heard a bunch of girls scream, "HE'S SO SENSITIVE! EEEEEPPP!" and I instantly changed my mind.

Trent

I was waiting at the mall for Courtney. I had to ask her something. I waited and waited, and she was late, not your typical Courtney. And in a flash I heard a girl scream, "OH MY GOD IT'S TRENT!" and suddenly I was surrounded. Not that I didn't enjoy the attention but I think I've already had enough from Sadie and Katie from the show. I suddenly spotted Courtney in the crowd, and she tripped which made me crack a little laugh. I know it seemed mean but it's not often that you see her trip, being the neat and organized sort of person I mean. She was wearing a dress, which was weird to see her in, I looked down and saw myself wearing my usual outfit. A green shirt, with a hand print on it and my black pants. I stuck out my hand and she looked up at me. Blank expression. She got up by herself and walked away. I stood up confused watching as she walked farther and farther away. She seemed to almost pause for a second then kept on going. I'll never understand that girl. "TRENT!" all the girls screamed. I ignored them and watched as her car drove by. There was a moment when I was looking at her and she was looking at me through the car window, but she quickly looked away. What the heck was happening?

I was still surrounded by girls when I realized that, there was suddenly a gap in the middle, I wanted to make a break for it, but then I realized there was only a gap because someone was coming through. Fear on many girls faces but they still continued to look at me. Cammie stepped out of nowhere. She walked right up to me, gave me a devious smile and walked away with a snooty snobbish strut. I think I'd better stay clear of her, I wouldn't really want the Heather incident to repeat again. Imagine what Gwen would think! But then again, I wasn't really dating her anymore. The girls here are so confusing.

Courtney

I chickened out, I lost my dignity back there. Crap. I'd have to talk to him tomorrow at school, with all his stalkers around him. Great. If I was going to make him like me then I'd have to become more likeable, and yes I just admitted to myself that I'm not likeable. I found that out when, I saw Gwen and Duncan were making out and asked them to stop then…

I walked into the waiting room, waiting for my turn to vent about the show. And on the couch was Gwen and Duncan. Making out. Right In front of me. They didn't even stop when I came in. I stood there, gaping at them, and I saw Gwen look at me from the corner of her eye. She smiled while she kept on making out with him. "Can you please stop?" I muttered under my breath. Duncan opened his eyes and stopped kissing. He looked at me, with guilty but almost curious look on his face. "What?" I asked."Nothing," he said and he crossed his legs, Gwen gave me an evil glare. I stood there looking awkward and rubbing my arm. I gave them a confident look and walked out of the room. I saw Duncan start to stand up but Gwen stopped him. I walked down the hall and I heard footsteps behind me, I walked quicker I could feel the tears in my eyes. "Stop!" said a voice. I stopped for a moment then continued to walk. "I said Stop Bitch!" I quickly got rid of the tears welling up in my eyes by giving myself a slap on the face and turned around. Gwen was looking at me, a smug look on her face. "Don't even apologize," I said with mad voice. There was a shocked look on her face for a split second, then she stifled a laugh, "Apologize? You really think I followed you to apologize? HA! That whole apology thing was only for TV, " I suddenly became scared of her, I didn't know what she was capable of. She walked up to me and poked her finger at my forehead. "Duncan loves me. He will never love you again. HA! I'm surprised you even thought he loved you. You will never be loved again," she said with confidence. "Is that a threat or some sort of weird goth curse?" I asked anger filling m voice. "No, it's a statement," she said," you're just not the loving type of person," I looked at her, and she was filing her nails. Wow she really is the new Heather. I turned on my heels and started to walk away, the tears were really about to come now, "Gwen what are you doing," asked Duncan."Nothing babe," said Gwen sweetly, "just giving her some advice on her future." I couldn't stand it anymore. I turned around," ADVICE!" I yelled , "you think you have the right to give me advice? Then you're an ignorant little-****%!(&(&#$%" . "Courtney stop," said Duncan, "She didn't do anything wrong…" "NO YOU STOP IT DUNCAN!" I yelled how could he be defending her. I watched as Gwen walked up to me and slapped me on the face. HARD. I fell to the ground."You will never be loved," she repeated again and she walked away, with Duncan following her like a puppy dog. As he was leaving he turned around looking me in the eyes, it wasn't a sad look, or a guilty look. It was a sorry look almost as if it was pity. My heart broke into a million pieces.

I haven't really got over that whole thing. I knew I wasn't likeable, and my family probably didn't even love me, but one day someone will love me. That someone will be Duncan as much as he did break my heart I still loved him. The horn of a car honked me. God, I've really got to stop fantasizing while I'm driving.

The next day at school…

I walked with my backpack to the front of the school. I heard screaming as his car pulled up. I guess the epidemic hasn't ended yet. I went inside the school, there was no way I would be able to confront him with all these girls around him, I'd have to talk to him during Math class or lunch or Phys Ed. Wow, I never realized that I was in so many of his classes. I still can't believe that out of all the places he moved here and went to my school. But then again I never thought that I would be trying to use him, to get a delinquent back that dumped me for a goth. NEVER IN MY LIFE! But I guess, anything is possible.

I had math first period. Once again, he took a seat next to me. Before I could even ask him anything, the teacher came in the class and everyone shut up. As soon as the teacher turned around and started writing on the wall, I tore a piece of paper out of my notebook, but before I could even write anything, a piece of paper landed on my desk in a crumpled ball. Too late. I opened it.

Look we need to talk

Ya sure whats up?

It's about Duncan… and Gwen.

I paused for a moment before writing back. I looked at him and he had a blank face looking at the board.

Mhmm… go ahead

I'd rather not talk about it now… seeming as though the teacher will catch us at any moment

Lunch?

Too public

Phys Ed?

Too Gym coach yelly sort of…

Heh, then where?

Look, I'll meet you wherever you want cause I wanted to ask you yesterday, but you bolted before I could've even said hi.

I thought of an excuse, how was I supposed to explain myself chickening out because of a little bruise to my self esteem.

Oh ya, I had to go to violin lessons. I said that before I walked away, didn't you hear me? Or were you too focused on your stalkers.

Woah, no need to get all defendent on me, just pick out a place to meet.

Fine… you know the park right?

The one near the mall? Yup… I actually ditched my stalkers there by hiding in the bathroom

Mhmm… sounds like an exciting day just meet me there at 8:30pm at the fountain.

Isn't that kind of late for you? GOODY Two Shoes.

I'll manage. And it isn't that late anyways.

I folded up the note and tossed it desk, he stifled a little laugh. "Is there something funny?" asked the teacher. The whole class looked at us. Many of the girls glared at me, but lots also stared at Trent, and sighed, "BAD BOY,". "No, nothing is funny," said Trent. "I don't see what is so funny about the Pythagorean Theorem," said the teacher not dropping it. "No, umm Trent was just asking me whether that was a 4 or 9, and I told him it was a 2," I lied quickly. Many of the girls sighed in relief. And the teacher looked at me. "Just don't interrupt my class again," he said. He turned around and continued to write on the board. I cracked a laugh but used my hand to cover my mouth, I looked over and saw he was doing the same.

I guess my friendship with Trent was getting better. Not that we had much of a friendship in the beginning …I snuck out my window, not that my parents would care even if I did leave at 8:30pm but just to be on the safe side. I drove over to the park and parked near the fountain. I brought my book with me, who knew how late he could be, with his stalkers following his every move. I sat at the edge. Even though it was late, the sun was just beginning to set. It was beautiful, and I realized that I haven't watched the sun set since the Total Drama World Tour. Around the park couples were watching the sun set giggling and it made me remember how lonely I was. I sighed, plugged my Ipod in my ears and continued my book. I read for about 30 seconds when the song Heartbreaker by P!nk came on, that was my favorite song when I was dating Duncan, Maybe I'm falling for a Heartbreaker, maybe you want me for the ride. I quickly turned my IPod off before I could get even sadder. "Beautiful sunset isn't it," said a voice I turned my head half expecting Trent instead it stood Blake. Blake had been my only semi-friend after the show. He had Blond wavy hair, light blue eyes and he was also the Quarterback on the football team. Every girl wanted him but really could you blame them? He was hot. Well, that is every girl but me. We have never really talked but had never really been on bad terms either. "So… what are you doing here at… 8:43 at night?" he asked. "Oh… I just needed some time to myself," I said stuttering a bit while I was talking, even though I wasn't interested in him I still couldn't help but feel a bit shy around him. And I only wasn't interested in him because I was dating Duncan at the time. "Okay then, I'll leave you to that," he smiled as walked away. He gave me a wink before walking off into the shadows.

Trent

I was about to meet up with Courtney when I saw her talking to a guy. She was sitting by the fountain a book open on her lap, and the guy was standing. She told him something and he smiled and walked away towards my direction. I quickly hid behind a tree, luckily I was wearing green. He walked by without a glance over but still said, "Take a picture, it'll last longer," which I didn't know if he was referring to himself or Courtney but it still annoyed me. I looked at Courtney who went back to reading her book. I waited for a moment before striding over. "Hey Courtney," I said. "Oh hey," she said sounding a bit dazed. "hey look sorry for all the trouble of meeting you, then coming late,"I apologized. "Oh, no it's nothing, I picked out the time and place so… and I needed to talk to you too so…" She sat there looking awkward and I stood there waiting for her to start. She finally broke the silence, "So, didn't you want to ask me something?" "Ummm… yeah but I just kinda assumed that you wanted to tell me what you wanted to tell me before I asked you," I said shifting my weight from one foot to another."Oh, well you can go first…" she said quietly it was barely a whisper. I gulped I hadn't even prepared myself of how I was supposed to ask her this.

Courtney

I was almost expecting Trent to ask me what I was going to ask him. To form together and make them jealous. Truth be told, I knew that Trent still loved Gwen but vice versa? Well, why don't you just ask her while she's making out with Duncan. HE gave me an awkward smile,"Yaa… so how did it feel to be dumped and cheated on?" That was the question? Really? Ouch, I think that actually kind of hurt. "Is that your question?" I asked him back. HE nodded his head slowly as if he wasn't completely sure. I felt like snapping back at him after all, his question was kind of harsh, but I kept my composure. If I was going to make him like me then I was going to have to be nice. "Well…"

Trent

How did I just blurt that out? That wasn't even my question well, it sort of was… but not worded so harshly. She looked up at me. Her face went from mad, to frustrated, to a forced sad smile. "It wasn't the best feeling," she said and she got up wiping the dirt off her pants. She closed her book, looked at me and said,"Well at least he's happy now". I could see the hurt in her eyes. She seemed so delicate, so different from the show. She must of cracked somewhere after the show, because this was not her normal self. There was no hint of confidence or "I'm so better than you" in her voice. "I'm so sorry," I apologized. "There's nothing you can do," she said, but as soon as she said those words there seemed to be a bit of guilt in her voice."Are you okay?" I asked. She seemed to wait a bit before responding to that question. "Ya, I'm okay," she managed to say but her voice still cracked. "Look I'm sorry about this whole thing, and just for this question,and-" "Trent," she interrupted me, " do you like me?" I was so caught off guard with her question and all I could blurt out was," Is that your question?" She seemed to laugh at that, "No, but just answer it please?" How was I supposed to answer that? "Well, I guess I consider you a friend?" I said. "Thanks Trent," she said as she gave me a hug, and took a step back," wait what did you think I was asking?" "I'm sorry?" now I was the confused one. "You seemed like you were a bit shocked when I was asking about our friendship?" she said. OOOh she meant like as in like and not like as in like like. "Oh," I said," I was just thinking about something else at the moment,". She laughed and gave me a hug again. The moment was too familiar. Gwen. I miss her.

For the rest of the time we sat next to each other talking about our family and life since the show. Until, she realized it was midnight and she had to get home. We both got to our cars which were ironically parked next to each other. She said thanks for the time and the friendship and gave me a peck on the cheek, which made me blush. Then she quickly drove off.

Courtney

All I can say is that I should really get an award for such good acting. Trent was a great guy, which made him an easy target to make Duncan and Gwen jealous. With his green eyes, and his black hair almost covering his eyes… NO! This is just for Duncan, who is also equally hot with his Green Mohawk and his piercings, which suddenly didn't sound as appealing as before. NO! He loved me and that's all that mattered. And he will love me again. This is all an act. Nothing matters but this right now. UGHH! I honked the horn in frustration, which made the person in front of me glare at me and stick up the finger. And it was an old lady… lovely. I drove home quickly and snuck back into my room, then collapsed on my bed. I laid on my bed thinking. Getting him to like me won't do anything. I'll have to catch the attention of the press and then Duncan. Luckily I still knew Blain- err I mean Mildred. Sure I'm not on very good terms with her, but I'm sure she'd do anything for some juicy gossip for the sake of her job. Still… it'd probably be better to call in anonymously. And then… ZZZZZZzzzzzZZZZZ.

I dreamt about Duncan again, except this time he was confronting me and Trent, I pretended that I had no interest in him and I was protecting Trent from him. Duncan was on his knees begging for my forgiveness. And then I kissed him in response, with Trent looking at me with a sort of disappointing look. Under certain circumstances that would probably be considered a dream for me, but this morning strangely, I woke up really crappy and unhappy. What exactly was happening?

So what did ya think? I enjoyed writing this chapter, but you know, it all really depends on the public :O.

I think I'll end up updating every week and if I can't its cause I have too much homework.

Please Please review cause if you don't I might end up cancelling the story, no point in continuing when I could be usingmy time writing a more popular story
