The False Teaching of Love

Chapter 4

She could feel everyone's gazes on her back. She didn't get what was so different about her. Okay yes, she's the only one to have an ice pack on her temple. But that's not her fault! She discovered that Brick passed the ball to her and he accidentally hit her temple. Yeah, he got told off by Jo because of that. But she reassured Jo that it wasn't his fault, she wasn't paying attention and got distracted. Besides, if she was paying attention, she would've caught the ball and no problem would happen there.

She's happy that she already made friends with Jo and Brick, and possibly Taylor, that's all there is to it.

"Alright class, pay attention." She looks up and the teacher was there. She didn't know what the subject was, but she got assigned to it. Unfortunately, Jo wasn't in this class, but Brick and Taylor were. She was sitting next to Brick, because he felt that she would need some company and help in the class. The class name was 'Arts in Battle', she didn't get it. Also, she didn't know who else was in the class, because she was sitting in the front row and she didn't dare look back at the other students. She knew Brick and Taylor attended this class because Brick escorted her in and Taylor was the only student to arrive before them. "I'm gonna call out the roll, just raise your hand when I call out your name." She heard a bunch of names of people she doesn't know. Like, Alejandro, Richard, Eva, Heather, Ezekiel, Cameron and other names she can't remember. "Duncan!" That name caught her attention. She glances around and he was sitting behind Brick. He raises his hand.

"Here." She tries not to groan disappointed. Great...She was stuck with one of the imbeciles. He caught her staring at her. He gives her a seductive smirk along with a wink. Her face flushed red before turning back around. Brick caught her with her face red.

"Courtney, you okay?" She removes a strand of hair from her face and places it behind her left ear. She nods.

"I'm fine, I just can't believe Duncan's in our class." She blushes a bit to herself. "He's such a handsome jerk." He frowns a bit.

"Courtney listen...I-"

"Brick! Please be quite while I'm marking the roll." He looks down at her.

"I'll tell you later." Brick looks away, the frown still on his face. She looks to the front a bit confused. What had happen to make him frown? Did it have something to do with Duncan? Maybe he and Duncan have had a bit of a conflict before she arrived in school. For some reason, when everything involves Duncan, people seem to take it as if it's a bad thing. They're weird like that.

"Scott!" She froze completely when she heard that name. You've got to be fucking kidding me. Scott's in the same class as her!

"Here!" And he sounded like he was right behind her. She was fighting if she should turn around. If she turns around, then Scott would catch her gaze. And it would be possible that he would do the exact same thing Duncan did to her earlier on. But she highly doubt it. So she decided, to never turned around to see that jerk. However, you know the heavy gaze she felt on her back earlier? She can feel that heavy gaze on her back again, and it was making her extremely uncomfortable.

Scott didn't mind though, he was just staring at her. His gaze heavily focused on her. He knew that Duncan was also keeping his gaze on her, and that annoyed him, a lot. Scott can also see that Courtney has already gotten very comfortable with Brick and that made him scratch his own table. Making sure to keep himself from jumping onto Brick and beating the pulp out of him. Sure, he could do that with Duncan as well, but he got used to him flirting with girls. Scott was still annoyed with it though. He was not used to Brick talking to Courtney though. Hopefully they're just friends, like how Brick and Jo are just friends. The thought made him scoff. They both should be more than friends. Then that would make Scott more comfortable.

"Alright, is there a student I hadn't called out yet." Scott raised his hand. "Scott, I already marked you here."

"I know sir, but you forgot the hot chick in front of me." Everyone in the class chuckles at his sentence, except Courtney. She just blushed embarrassed. She looks at Brick and he was trying not to chuckle at Scott's sentence. She gave him a glare and he just shrugged.

"Come on Courtney, you have to admit it was kind of a wrong but funny sentence." She was about to speak to him, until the teacher beat her to it.

"Are you a new student?" She faces the teacher and nods. "Come over here so I can add you to the roll." She got up from her seat and walks over to the teacher's desk. Duncan looks over at Scott.

"She blushed when I winked at her. She so wants me." Scott frowns a bit.

"Isn't that what you say about every other girl?"

"True." Duncan's gaze went onto the Courtney with her back turned. "But, she's different you know? She might be my true princess this time." Scott nods.

"But that's what you said about that other girl you dated for a real reason. What makes Courtney so different?" Duncan's face turned serious, keeping his gaze on Courtney.

"Because, I know she won't cheat on me like that other one." Duncan looks at Scott. "You seem very interested in Courtney. You sure I can have her?" Scott waves him off.

"Sure, go have her. I don't care." He's just lying to himself. But Duncan didn't get the catch. So he smirks at him.

"Thanks Scott. My princess will officially be my queen." Scott gags to himself. Courtney returns to her seat once she was done. Brick looks over at her.

"You still alright? Over Scott's sentence?" She nods.

"Don't worry Brick. I won't let some douche-bag make fun of me." Scott heard her and that made him smirk at her back. They both are so gonna get along.

The class ended and both Courtney and Brick walked out to see Jo waiting for them. Brick waves at her. "Hey Jo! How was Science?" She shrugs.

"It could be worse, I had to listen to the Queen Bitch in class squabble about how P.E sucked balls. She was also laughing about how the ball hit the 'new girl' in the face." Courtney rolls her eyes. She should've known that there would've been a Queen Bitch in the school as well. In her old school, Courtney used to be the Queen Bitch. No one would dare mess with her. She wonders if she would take over that roll once she gets comfortable in this school. Then again, this school is extremely different to her previous one, so she highly doubt it. "Besides, Stephanie had what was coming to her anyways." Courtney rose an eyebrow.

"I'm sorry, who's Stephanie?"

"My ex-girlfriend..." Courtney turns around to see Taylor standing behind her. She jumps and stands next to Jo. Brick salutes him.

"Good evening Head Boy! Brick McArthur reporting for duty!" Taylor chuckles at him.

"At ease soldier." Brick puts his hand down but grins at him. Jo raises her eyebrow.

"Is there something you need Head Boy?" Taylor shrugs.

"Not really...just wondering how our new student is doing in her new school." Courtney looks up at him.

"So...you dated this Stephanie girl? I thought you weren't interested in dating girls."

"I wasn't, until she came. We dated for about a year, but five months ago, I found out that she was dating another boy behind my back, so I dumped her, so did he." Courtney looks up at him sincere.

"Taylor...I'm so sorry about that." Taylor makes a gesture to calm her down.

"It's alright. Besides, we were both lucky that we both broke up with her on time. Because, she became the Queen B of the school two months after our break up." Jo rolls her eyes.

"You can thank Heather for that." Courtney looks at her clueless. "Richard's cousin." She shook her head, still not convinced. Jo sighs. "The Asian boy who always hangs with Scott and his buds."

"Oh, now I see."

"Taylor!" They all see Cameron come their way. Jo chuckles at the sight of him.

"Hey look, it's pencil neck." Cameron looks at her unamused.

"Nice to meet you too Jo." He looks at Courtney and grins. "Hello." He puts his hand out. "My name is Cameron, you must be Courtney. It's very nice to meet you." She smiles at him. He looked very nerdy, like the actual stereotype of all nerds. But none of the less, he looked liked a kid and he looked cute. She shakes his hand.

"It's nice to meet you too Cameron." Taylor looks at him.

"Is there something you need Cameron?" He realises why he was there and looks up at Taylor.

"I'm sorry Taylor, but the principal would like to speak with you for a moment." He nods.

"I see. Well, I have to depart ladies and soldier." Taylor took Courtney's hand and kissed the back of it. "Until next time." She blushes completely. He chuckles a bit and walks off. She could feel the tingling on the hand where Taylor kissed her. Great, now she has three boys to worry about.

"Um Courtney...You do realise Taylor does that to every new girl in the school to make them more comfortable in the school. It's a tradition that every Head Boy must do ever since this school became mixed gendered." Well, that gave Courtney relief. For a second she thought she had to worry about three guys. Well, now technically, only one. Duncan seems to be very interested in her, sure she had to admit that he was hot. The thought just made her blush again. It's just wrong. She shouldn't think of guys like that. It's only her second day in the school and she's already crushing on a guy. Man, she's really pathetic. Then soon, he'll get in her pants then throw her away after he's done. She hates herself. The third guy or second guy now she had to worry about was of course Scott...

Everyone could already tell that she hated him...

But, there was something about him that makes her blush every time she thinks about him. Sure, he's not as hot as Duncan. But so far, he's the most handsome ginger in her perspective. Every other girl would disagree, because she's never seen anyone over girl attempt to flirt with him. And in the showers with Taylor last night, she was quite...flattered when she heard that she's the only girl he's flirted with. He even called her a few pet-names.

She excuses herself from Jo and Brick so she can go to the dorm by herself, to think more about her current situation. Jo and Brick look at each other, clearly worried for the new girl. She reaches the dorm, there was no one else in the dorm. And she was glad. She just needed some time to herself to think about her situation.

Duncan, there was a lot she could describe about him. Tall, hot, cocky. With his black hair and eyebrow piercing, why did she find him so hot. It was very wrong to think about him like that. She hated the fact that she already developed a crush on him. And she hates the fact that she blushes every time he winks at her or kisses her cheek he first time he met her. Oh man, she hates herself. She goes over to sit on her bed. Her gaze then locks on Scotts bed. There was also a piece of paper sticking out from under his pillow. She frowns a bit. She takes out the paper and what she saw made her mouth go wide open.

How dare he!?

Also, I forgot to mention that their will be some Duncney moments, but it's still a Scottney fanfic, so it will end with Scottney a dominant pairing. And what did you think she saw?

KatDingo over and out.
