Heya! Also, part of the reason the story was delayed was because I wanted to post at least two chapters at the beginning. =) So, yeah... Here you go!
Midterms suck. Midterms don't just suck, they suck ass. Especially when you're trying juggle extra curriculurs, studying, and term papers you're trying to write early. Usually, Courtney was left unfazed by all of these things. She was always busy, and she also kind of liked to have stuff to keep her busy.
But now, she felt over worked. 4 months ago, she had her heart ripped out of her chest, and hacked into bite-sized pieces. She was slowly starting to recover. She had even been on a date, with Trent Smith. Sure, it was a 'study' date... But that still counted, right? But something changed in her brain... She no longer felt the desire to follow the rules... In fact, it felt good to be bad. She felt having more and more pretty things, made her feel better about herself. So, at least once a week, Courtney would sneak off campus late at night, and go be 'bad'. Sometimes she wouldn't be back until later. Much much later... Last night, was one of those nights.
Courtney entered her dorm, and hit the button for her floor. She tapped her foot on the floor, wishing that the elevator would hurry up and get to her floor. She had promised to go get coffee with her roomate, and was already half an hour late.
"Ugh, I knew that second stop was a bad idea! Lindsay better appreciate this gift..." Courtney said to herself. Finally, the elevator doors opened, and she rushed to her room. 138... 139... 140! She patted herself down, trying to find her key. "Key... Key... Key! Grr! Damn, I must've forgot it here..." Courtney knocked on the door. "Lindsay, open up!"
Lindsay was the only one to know about Courtney's little addiction. The only reason she knows, was because she got curious about why Courtney seemed to dissappear so much, and searched the room. She found papers, jewels, and a lot of cash, stuffed into her roomates matress. Courtney confessed oneday, and Lindsay promised not to tell. Courtney knew she wouldn't be able to keep the secret, but she knew Lindsay was probably too stupid to remember the details anyways. Lindsay finally opened the door, glaring with her baby blue eyes.
"Ugh, you're not welcome here anymore. You're like, a criminal!" Lindsay exclaimed. She was still a bit sour about Courtney forgetting a certain day, yesterday. She leaned against the door way and twisted her bottle blonde hair around her freshly manicured fingers. Courtney smirked at her.
"At least I don't get grades that label my bra cup, double D Barbie."
Courtney pushed her way into the room, and dumped the contents of her purse onto her bed. Multiple necklaces fell onto the bed, along with a velvet case. Courtney picked ut up.
"Lindsay, I know your birthday was yesterday, and I kind of forgot... But I have a present for you! Earings!" Courtney exclaimed, holding up the case like a game show model. Lindsay brightened up, and stared at the box.
"Omigosh they're beautiful!!!!" She gasped. Courtney sighed, and rolled her eyes at her roomates stupidity.
"Lindsay. I haven't even opened the case yet!" Courtney exclaimed. Lindsay looked at her blankly for a moment. "It's like the lights are on, and no ones home..." Courtney muttered to herself, before handing the case to Lindsay. She opened it, and a smile lit up her features.
"Wow... Those look really expensive. How did you afford them?"
"..."
"You stole them, didn't you!"
"I don't have a problem! I did it on purpose!"
"Courtney... You have to stop this. You could get kicked out of school!"
"Oh, and like you won't! This coming from the girl who sleeps with nerds just to get them to do your homework!"
"Touché..."
"Ha, sorry I blew up at you."
"No prob."
"I'll be back later." Courtney declared, heading out the door.
"Wait where are you--" Lindsay asked. Before she could finish, Courtney slammed the door. "--going..." Lindsay put the earings in, and slowly walked over to Courtney's bed. She picked up a diamond necklace with a ruby butterfly amulet. "Eeeeh!!! Cuteness!!!!" She squealed, starting to put it on.
"Excuse me, can I help you? Or give you my lunch money?" The information desk clerk joked. Duncan rolled his eyes.
"I'm looking for Courtney Labella's dorm, do you know where it is?" He asked.
"Why?"
"It's important."
"Why's it important?"
"Just tell me where it is, or else I'll remove the flesh from your body, and feed it to my pet tarantula!"
"Okay, she's in Dexter Hall, room 140!"
"Thanks, you've been a great help." Duncan smirked, heading towards another corridor. He looked up, and followed the arrow leading to Dexter Hall.
Next chapter will be a while, sorry. Focused on oneshot story =) Well, R&R!!!!
