Chapter 3

"This is the best chocolate I've ever tasted!" Courtney said as she dipped another strawberry in the chocolate fountain.

Bridgette laughed. "I thought you said you were giving up chocolate?"

Courtney shrugged. On the other side of the room, Izzy and Noah were doing a pinnate challenge.

"Izzy! Stop swinging at me! The pinnate's over there!" Noah said, trying to dodge Izzy's swings.

"But this is way more fun!" Izzy said with a devious grin. "Ooh, I wonder if candy will come out of you!"

Noah's eyes went wide before he ran away screaming.

At a booth, Heather, Gwen, Trent, Duncan, Geoff and Alejandro were quiet. Heather and Gwen were glaring at each other.

"So…." Geoff said, trying to break the long silence.

"Look at Courtney packing on the pounds," Heather muttered.

"You say you're her friend yet you talk bad about her," Gwen scoffed.

Heather narrowed her eyes. "I'm not talking bad about her, I'm just voicing an opinion. Mind your own business, boyfriend stealer."

"So did you guys see watch the news yesterday?" Trent said trying to change that subject

"At least I didn't push my boyfriend off a cliff." Gwen muttered taking a sip of water.

Heather lunged at Gwen, knocking her to the ground. Gwen was surprised at first, but then quickly got back up and grabbed Heather's hair and yanked it. Hard. The guys were about to pull them off of each other, but Chris ran out.

"Wait, this seasons contract says that you can't stop fights." The guys sighed and Chris left.

Gwen threw Heather into the chocolate fountain, which fell over, covering Bridgette, Courtney and a few other people in chocolate.

"Nice," Courtney said, wiping chocolate out of her face, "Just, nice."

Gwen and Heather fell down in the chocolate puddle, rolling around and pulling each others hair.

"Ooh, chocolate party." Izzy said, taking the blindfold off. "I'M IN!" She jumped into the chocolate, making it splash everywhere. By now, the five girls were all covered in chocolate.

"Alright, this has gone on long enough." Trent said pulling Gwen off of Heather. Alejandro helped Heather up.

Heather looked at her white - err, brown dress. "Look at what you did! My dress is ruined!" She screeched.

"Me? You're the one who fucking attacked me!" Gwen yelled back.

"If you would've kept you mouth shut, none of this would of happened!"

"Alright listen up you sons of bitches!" Courtney screamed. "This is both of your faults! Thanks to you two, the party's ruined, the floors a fucking mess, and my dress - a new dress, might I add, is ruined." She seethed.

"Ooh, dirty mouth." Izzy said, imitating the gum commercials.

"Shut up Izzy!" The three girls said.

Courtney was in the pool with her black and white vintage bikini on. The door opened and she was expecting Bridgette or Izzy, but instead it was Duncan.

"What do you want?" she asked.

Duncan rolled his eyes. "Here." he said tossing her a bottle.

She caught it and read the label. "Beer? We're underage."

"Correction, you're underage." Duncan replied.

Courtney shrugged and set the bottle in the cup holder.

"Those two years you were gone," Duncan started. "Where did you go?"

"Why does everyone know about that?" Courtney said, annoyed.

"You're kidding right? It was all over the tabloids."

"You read those?" Courtney joked.

"Pssh, no."

"Then I was with my parents." Courtney said smiling.

Things were awkward between them and she knew it. Gwen and Trent were sitting at the table, in complete silence.

"So, how are plans for your would tour coming?" Gwen asked. Trent looked up.

"Pretty well, I guess." Trent smiled. "What about you?"

"I'm writing a book and I have writer's block. Not much excitement." Gwen laughed. "You and Courtney, are you guys dating? There's been a lot of talk."

"It's not like that." Trent said. "We're just friends, I promise."

"Oh, okay." Gwen said, relaxing.
