Chapter 4

~Gwen~

Her mind was heavily contemplating on Duncan. Maybe it was obsessive to think that much about her love life, but she couldn't help it. She thought her relationship with the sexy punk was going strong, but now... she wasn't so sure. When she saw Trent's glistening white smile, laid back new haircut, and a reminder of his musical talents, she couldn't help but rethink the relationship she was in. Plus, every time she looked into Trent's eyes, she remembered why she fell in love with him. He was incredible. But it was as if he didn't care! He was just talking to Geoff like Gwen didn't exist. The goth sighed as she watched her ex boyfriend conversed with the surfer dude. It was only their second day back on Total Drama, and it was already getting hard for her. And she hadn't even seen the wrath of Courtney yet! She hadn't talked to Duncan since she got angry at him the previous day. She bit her lip when the punk began to walk out of his cabin. Was he going to talk to her? He started to walk over to her. Of course he was.

"Gwen, I hate it when you're mad at me, babe," Duncan said, sighing. "I missed you. You were all I thought about last night. I want things to work out between us. I'll do whatever it takes for you to forgive me, sweetheart! Anything. I can't give up on you. I just can't... I never want to give up on you. When I look at you, I remember why I don't want to give up on you."

At that moment, she found it difficult to be angry with him. She leaned in slowly and pecked his lips for a soft and short kiss. But to Duncan, it was valuable and meaningful. He smiled a small smile and looked into his girlfriend's eyes. He was hoping that the lip peck meant that things were good between them. He wasn't going to let her leave without a fight. His feelings for her were real.

"I was just upset that you didn't believe me about what Trent said," Gwen explained with a quiet sigh. "It made me feel like you didn't trust me. I wouldn't lie to you, Duncan. You know I wouldn't. And when I feel like you don't trust me, it gets frustrating. But now it's okay. I'm not mad anymore. Just please, trust me from now on?"

He nodded his head and said, "You want me to trust you? You've got it, babe! I do trust you. Truth is, you were right. I was just paranoid that you were thinking about Trent again. I'm just a paranoid guy on the inside, I guess. Maybe you should know that I'm not as tough as I seem. I have a soft side filled with worries and insecurities, but I think that's just human. But now that I think about it, I know that I trust you, and I can believe that you wouldn't betray me for Trent. We've been through so much together that I feel like I know you to be better than that." Duncan took her hand and gave it a light squeeze.

For a moment, Gwen felt like she made a mistake when she was obsessing over Trent. Duncan was an amazing boyfriend. He cared about her. Trent was from so long ago! She had no chance with him again, anyways. Why risk the best guy ever just to take a chance with someone else? She pulled Duncan into an intimate hug, feeling closer to him than ever. What he said touched the goth girl. She smiled as his arms wrapped around her and hugged her back. There was no reason to want Trent back anymore.

"Duncan, that was so amazing and passionate of you to say," Gwen said, brushing her lips against his cheek. "I want to say that I'm sorry for getting all pissed at you for nothing. I was overreacting. I would be worried if you were talking to your ex, too. It's not your fault." He smiled at her.

~Alejandro~

The tall and muscular young man stepped into his cabin, where Owen and Justin were. He grinned at his fellow team mates. He was so proud of himself for kissing Heather. Not because he wanted to play her, but because she actually kissed back! It was quite a surprise to him, but he was glad he did it. It was worth it. Her lips were so soft and kissable. He ripped his shirt off in the bathroom and put on a PJ shirt before climbing towards his bed. Justin looked at the other tan guy, noticing his state of bliss.

"Something happen that made you so fucking glee?" Justin asked, getting frustrated. He knew that all the girls were big fans of Alejandro because he was a pretty boy, and it bugged Justin, because he thought that he was the pretty boy of the show! He didn't want a replacement. "I've never seen you all giddy."

Alejandro let out a bitter laugh, "You barely know me, amigo."

Justin felt his chest heating up. He was getting more frustrated with Alejandro.

"What did you do?" Justin demanded.

The muscular guy grinned and finally gave in, needing to share his joy.

"I kissed Heather," Alejandro confessed, "and she kissed me back. I'm just proud. That's all."

Now Justin was mad. Alejandro got the girl, too? It wasn't okay. He would be lying if he said he never harbored a crush on Heather. It was hard not to. She was a sexy mean girl with an attitude. Did he mention that she was sexy? Justin found her incredibly attractive, but never had the balls to ask her out because she had gotten him eliminated in season one, which pissed him off to a point where he didn't know if it was a good idea to trust a bitch like her. She was known for back stabbing, after what happened with Lindsay and Beth.

"You fucker," Justin cursed at him, stomping one foot on the ground. "You think you can get any girl just because you think you're a pretty boy? Keep your shirt on, and leave Heather alone. She doesn't want to be played by you. You've hit on far too many girls in one season. LeShawna, Bridgette...? Any of this ring a bell to you, Alejandro?"

"Those were all strategic," Alejandro said. "My feelings for Heather are as pure as can be. Why are you so pissed about this? If I didn't know any better, I'd think that you've got some kind of school girl crush on her. I wouldn't be surprised, though. Every aspect of her is intriguing and perfect..."

Justin had to get to Heather's heart before Alejandro asked her out.

"Shut up," he said. "I'm gonna go talk to my buddies from the other team..." It was a lie. He was going to ask Heather out, and quickly. Then he could rub it in Alejandro's face. I got the girl and you didn't. Take that, fucker. He could almost taste the profane words coming out of his mouth. And he could almost see Alejandro's defeated face when he realized that Justin had won the battle, and gotten the girl. The Spanish hunk wouldn't win this time.

~Justin~

The olive skinned hottie made his way over to Heather's cabin. He knocked gently on the wooden door. What am I supposed to say? 'Go out with me'. Too demanding. I need to win her heart, not chase it away. He was so frustrated. His looks were usually the key to any girl, but Heather was immune to it. Plus, he was competing with Alejandro. And he hated to admit it, but Alejandro was also attractive to the female eye. He sighed in frustration, but put on his best sexy face for Heather. It wouldn't hurt to try to use his looks, right?

But Heather didn't open the door. Lindsay did. The blonde clapped her hands in excitement and looked like she was ready to kiss him all over.

"Tyler!" Lindsay exclaimed. "You're my boyfriend! And I've totes missed you."

Justin's eyes widened, putting his hands up. Lindsay was hot, but he was here to win Heather, not the blonde. Plus, he was buddies with Tyler. He didn't want to try to get his girl, even though it was obvious that he could have Lindsay if he wanted. The dark skinned male made sure Lindsay couldn't touch him.

"No, no, Lindsay, I'm not Tyler," he said. "I'm Justin, remember me?"

"Well you're sexy, like Alejandro," Lindsay said with a giggle. "But, I still prefer my Tyler Kinz... whatever he looks like. I love him, though."

Justino raised an eyebrow, confused by how she could love Tyler if she didn't even remember what he looked like. But it didn't matter. This was Lindsay! And he wasn't here for the bimbo, he was here for nothing besides winning Heather over. He was going to fucking DESTROY Alejandro for stealing his spot as the most seductive competitor.

"Right, I'm sure Tyler would love to see you. He's in my cabin," Justin explained. "Thanks for that compliment, but I'm actually here to see Heather."

"Oh, okay! You want me to get her, right?" Lindsay asked.

He nodded his head. She skipped into the cabin and brought Heather out.

"Justin?" Heather choked out. "Uh... What do you want?"

"I want you to go out with me," he said. "You're hot, I'm hot. We would be good together, don't you think? A couple of hotties?"
