Author notes;
Ok so sorry it took me awhile to put this out. I had soo much to do with the holidays and going back to school. Well Duncan is telling the story in this chapter. Hope you like.
"Bridgette what's going on? Who were you talking to? Why are you staring at me like that?" I asked Bridgette trying to stay calm.
Courtney hadn't shown her face since our little encounter this morning. Although Geoff did mention something about Courtney running off towards the woods. I wonder what's up with her.
I waved my hand in front of Bridgette's face. "Did you hear me? Was that Courtney? Why are you walking away from me?" I asked blabbing words a mile a minute.
"SHUT UP!" Bridgette screamed stunning me, "It was Courtney. She was freaked, said something about being lost in the woods. Why would you care?"
Even though Courtney hurt me this morning.. I know it's weird for me to get hurt by someone, but… I still felt like I should go after her. I mean deep down she means a lot to me. Courtney may drive me nuts all the time, but I know she loves me. I mean who wouldn't like me!?
"Geoff, Geoff!" I exclaimed running towards the pool.
SPLASH!
All wet, great. Just what I need. Argh; whatever Courtney is the most important thing right now. Running out of the pool, soaking wet, I walked over to Geoff.
"Dude, that was weird. No awesome, defiantly awesome! Man I wish I cou—" Geoff started.
"Dude, Courtney is lost in the woods! I wanna go after her. Can you come with?" I asked, low on breathe.
"Sure man," Geoff replied looking sorta shocked; either for me wanting to go after Courtney, or Courtney getting lost, I didn't know.
Geoff and I walked back to my room to pack a bag of supplies.
"Can you hand me that first aid kit?" I asked Geoff.
"Sure," Geoff stated, "and if you don't mind me asking, what's up with you and Courtney anyway? I mean when you two were on the island together you seemed tight, and all."
"Honestly, I don't know. I mean I thought we had something, but… this morning made me think, maybe not; you know?" I said confused.
"I get where you're coming from, dude. But I think she digs you," Geoff said, while throwing the backpack onto his back.
I did the same and followed Geoff out the door. My room wasn't that far from the woods so in a matter of five minutes we were there. I took a deep breath and tried to remember why I was doing this. Then I saw her face in my mind and sighed. Carefully we walked over a log to start our journey.
"Wait!" a scream echoed from behind us. Bridgette was out of breath when she reached us, "I wanna help too."
All I did was nod and continue walking. The woods was big and Courtney was small; we had little time before dark.
"Bridge, glad you could join us need help with your bag?" Geoff asked Bridgette.
Bridgette blushed and handed Geoff her little backpack. This made me sigh even more. I trudged forward faster to get away from all the mushy stuff. I had a mission and that was to find Courtney.
It seemed everywhere I looked someone, or thing, was in love. First it was Bridgette and Geoff, then the damn bunnies. Those bunnies, argg! They got close and then rubbed their noses together, stepped towards us followed by baby bunnies. Like that wasn't enough two birds landed close together on a branch, tweeting. Then the guy bird feed the girl bird a worm. I mean come on! Whatever man.
"How long have we been walking?" Bridgette asked.
"About two hours," I replied.
"Where is she? Man my feet hurt; oww!" Bridgette yelled. She'd fallen over a log. Geoff quickly ran to her side. He bent down on the ground.
"Are you okay man? I mean Bridge. Hee," Geoff said, while helping Bridgette up.
"Can we get a move on here people," I said a little coldly (ok a lot coldly) as I stormed off.
When I looked over my shoulder Geoff and Bridgette were gone. Tired I sat down near a bush. I threw my backpack to the side, sighing!
"Oww! What the heck," a familiar voice came from the bush where my backpack landed.
