A/N: Okay here is the next chapter, I would like to thank all the people who reviewed the last chapter, I could not stop smiling for about three hours (it kind of scared people). I am really sorry if the characters are OOC I was trying to keep them in character but that is something I always struggle with. Also I have somewhat made a new character but do not worry he is only there for comedic purposes and will not become the center character. Also I am planning to not really have very much of the campers at school as they won't be able to interact with each other, which is kind of the point, but there will be conversations about school and meetings between various campers.


Courtney sat in the back seat of her mom's car looking out the window and feeling a bit depressed she sighed. Despite all the drama this had probably been her favorite summer in a long time, she looked at the sheet of paper in her hand which had phone numbers and email addresses of almost everyone.

"So Courtney did you have a good time?" her mom asked interrupting her thoughts.

"Huh? Oh yeah mom it was fun, well mostly" she added remembering some of the challenges, the first one with the insane cliff dive where she almost got voted off and the green jello, she shuddered just thinking about it.

"So who was that boy?" her mom asked once again disturbing her flashback.

"What boy?"

"You know the one you kissed just before getting in the car who was he?"

"Mom, he was just a friend" she lied.

"Pretty good friends if you ask me" her mom said, Courtney couldn't tell if she was joking or upset or somewhere in between.

"He's one of the guys who was on my team and we sort of started hanging out and well can we just please drop it?" Courtney asked, she didn't really want to talk about Duncan with her mom.

"Courtney, you realize that whatever happened between you and this boy is going to be on national television so I'm going to find out at some point" her mom said and Courtney could tell she was smiling.

"Fine! His name is Duncan and we're kinda going out now, I really like him mom, he may look bad but he's actually kinda sweet when he's not being an obnoxious jerk" Courtney said quickly "now can we drop it?"

Her mom sighed "yes I suppose we can drop it now, but Courtney be sure that this boy doesn't stop you from keeping up with your extra circulars and being student body president next year."

"I know mom" Courtney said, she had actually forgotten about that completely due to hanging out with Duncan and trying to kill Harold for a while. She sighed and wondered how the others were doing. A while later her mom pulled into the drive way and Courtney rushed to her room to check her email, she was a bit disappointed to see that no one had sent her one yet but decided to send one to Duncan. She typed for a while occasionally going back and retyping small sections, about thirty minutes after she started she was satisfied and hit the send button then started unpacking.

Duncan sat in the back of his parole officer's car absentmindedly drawing on the back of the seat in front of him.

"Duncan!" his parole officer, Carl, called suddenly.(A/N:I know Carl is not the greatest name for this guy but it was the first thing that popped into my head)

"What?" Duncan asked annoyed that he had been distracted from drawing whatever it was he was drawing, he hadn't really been focusing on what he was drawing, he shot a look at the back of the seat and realized with a start that he had been drawing Courtney.

"Who was that girl? Did you do something to her?" Carl asked suspiciously.

Duncan looked at Carl's eyes in the rear view mirror "what? You assume I can't get a girlfriend unless I threaten her or something? You're even dumber than I thought" Duncan said going back to his Courtney picture.

Carl seemed like he was about to yell then thought better of it "so she's your girlfriend? What's her name?"

"None of your business" Duncan replied shortly.

"Come on Duncan just because I'm your parole officer doesn't mean I'm not up to date, I'm cool, I'm hip, I'm totally gangsta" Carl said trying to make some hand sign.

Duncan groaned and rolled his eyes "Carl don't start that again we both know it will end with tears and me breaking you out of rehab, again."

"That was one time thing!" Carl said defensively.

Duncan folded his arms in front and smirked "yeah sure, you're just lucky I never brought it up when the police were questioning me."

"And we agreed you never will! But seriously, Duncan, who's the girl?"

Duncan rolled his eyes "she's just a girl I who was on my team on the reality show."

"And?"

"And that's it, okay there's no more to it" Duncan said looking out the window as they reached Duncan's house.

Carl sighed and unlocked the doors saying "And even if there was you wouldn't tell me would you?"

"You're finally getting it Carl" Duncan said grabbing his stuff and slamming the car door with more force than was necessary. He walked into the house and headed up the stairs Carl followed him into the house then went and sat on the sofa "that kid's got more issues than ever" he said to himself.

Duncan opened the door to his room and flung his stuff on the floor where it joined everything Duncan hadn't packed. He stood for a moment then flung him self on his bed and grabbed a couple darts from his window sill and through them at the ceiling which had a large assortment of pictures on it including several of Carl and all of which had a number of holes in them he threw a couple of darts and made a mental note to add a picture of Chris when he got the chance. After a while Duncan got bored, and who wouldn't throwing things at the ceiling can get tiresome but it was one of the few things that Duncan had been able to do at juvie that had kept him sane, to a certain extent, he sat up and looked at his computer which was emitting a low hum, he smirked realizing that he had left it on all summer 'oh well not my electric bill to pay' he thought. He walked over and pulled a rolling chair over after removing a large pile of clothes and an assortment of rings for eyebrows. He sat and lazily moved the mouse and the screen lit up he decided to check his email figuring that if no one had emailed him yet he could send them something. There was one new email from OverAchiverGirl who he realized was Courtney. He opened it and read her email:

Dear Duncan,

How are you? I know it has only been a few hours but I missed you already. Do you miss me? Oh that's silly of course you do. You do don't you? Well my mom was asking questions about "us" on the ride home it was really irritating, is that how it feels when people question you? Not that people would I was just wondering as my parents don't do that much to me. Basically I told her we were in the same cabin and were good friends, I don't think she believed me though. So, Duncan, I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me sometime? It doesn't have to be soon but I'm free this weekend so if you want we could see a movie or something? So have you talked to any of the others yet? Where do you go to school? Sorry about all the questions I'm kind of bored. Well my mom is going to give me the annual "Succeed now, for Future Success!" speech which means I have about half an hour to unpack so email me back soon okay? If you want we can IM later, Bye!

Hugs from,

Courtney.

Duncan smiled and hit the reply button, he took about ten minutes then sent other emails to Geoff, Trent and Owen. He figured it would probably take them a while to get back to him so he went back to throwing darts at the ceiling. There was a loud banging from the floor, Duncan jumped and the darts in the ceiling threatened to fall. Duncan opened his door and yelled "Carl what do you want?"

"Are you throwing darts at the ceiling again?" Carl asked.

"No!" Duncan lied "and what I do in my room is MY business so stay out of it, or I will throw darts at something other than the pictures!"

"What was that?" Carl asked even though he knew perfectly well what Duncan had said.

Duncan smacked his forehead "just stop banging, this house will probably fall down if you keep that up" Duncan said then shut himself back in his room and muttered "stupid Carl."

"I heard that!"

"Would you shut up!" Duncan hollered then when back to his computer chair and shortly began to notice that he got better aim from the chair. There was another bang from the floor and Duncan's eyes shot up to the ceiling where a number of darts had become dislodged "crap!"

Geoff was slightly bummed when he walked into his room, the posters on the walls seemed a bit less colorful. He sighed, turned on his computer, in the hopes that Bridgette had emailed him, and sat spinning in his swivel chair. There was one new email but it was from Duncan, it was a link to an IM, Geoff clicked it and logged on:

Trent turned off his computer and walked to his small home-made music studio. He started playing his guitar trying to think of a song to play for Gwen. He was coming up with a good beginning when one of the guitar strings snapped and then flew up hitting him in the eye, "Ow! Dangit, I just replaced that string."

He got put his guitar away and examined his eye in a mirror Justin had given him as a "thanks for being a good teammate" gift. It didn't look to bad but he decided he would play the guitar for the rest of the day. Trent walked into the kitchen and grabbing some ice and putting it on his eye, he hoped that it would be better by the time he was playing at the concert he invited Gwen to. He sighed and decided to watch TV wondering if Total Drama Island was on.


A/N: I had a bit of trouble with the ending as you may be able to tell. I hope you liked the IMing part as I am planning to have more of those in the future, if you didn't please feel free to say how you think I can make them better, also if anyone has ideas for more screen names for various campers, I would like to have all of the Campers IM at some point in the story (not all at once though, far too confusing).
