Was last chapter really that bad? I barely got any reviews!
By Monday, everyone had heard about Courtney Stanford and Duncan Lancasters weekends. Everyone knew that Courtney and Alejandro were now a couple and walked hand in hand down the halls, giggling like little kids who got into the cookie jar.
Blainely had posted a picture of a girl grinding up against Duncan, but no one really knew about Diamond. Duncan didn't care though, he got laid and he got that stupid Courtney rumour off his back.
But now he faced an even bigger challenge: breaking Courtney and Alejandro up.
Duncan wasn't sure why exactly he felt the need to make sure those two never even had a chance at a decent relationship but he did. It just irked him deep in his chest whenever he saw Princess cuddled up against Alejandro as they ate lunch together.
Something just didn't sit well with him about that scene.
So instead of being a proper parent like Duncan should have been, he was busy scheming on the perfect plot to break the two up. He probably should have saved his planning for after school because then, he would have been more focused on April sitting beside him as he ate lunch with Geoff and DJ.
But he wasn't and moments later, some jock who thought he was tough had grabbed April by the leg and whipped her across the cafeteria, into a wall. Even from where Duncan sat on the other side of the cafeteria, he could see Aprils arm pop out and a crack form all the way down her face.
The jock was too busy laughing his ass off to see Duncan slowly stand up from his table. He was too busy until he felt a fist smash itself square onto his nose. The jock fell to the floor dramatically, clutching his broken nose as Duncan slammed his foot into his face for good measure.
"I don't appreciate people throwing my homework around, buddy." Duncan said nonchalantly as he strolled to the place where April was laying, smashed on the ground and scooped her up.
Duncan tossed the baby and her arm into Courtney's lap, who was sitting nearby, before casually walking out of the lunchroom, not caring at all about anyone who may have been watching.
Courtney was furious though, but for once, not at the punk. Sure, it was rude of him to toss their broken child on her lap but it was the jock who really pissed her off. Why would he do that?
Courtney stood up and stormed over to the jock who had just managed to stand up and was still clutching his face. Just as he straightened up, Courtney slammed her foot in his groin and stormed away, muttering curse words under her breath.
Alejandro didn't follow her thankfully, so Courtney decided to go looking for Duncan. It didn't take long before she found him vandalizing the school, as always. "That idiot! What are we going to do now?" Courtney snapped and slouched against the locker, next to the one Duncan was scribbling on.
"I guess we could give her a cast?" Duncan suggested as he placed his finishing touches on the quick scull he drew on Harold's lockers with a black sharpie.
"Um, hello? My parents don't pay taxes to give casts to dolls." Courtney rolled her eyes and Duncan turned to face her. "And besides, look at her head!"
Duncan glanced down at April in Courtney's hands. Cracks spread out over the dolls face, originating from her hairline. "Chill out, Princess." Duncan said coolly, "My mom smears makeup on her face every day. I'm sure she can cover up a few cracks."
"Have you forgotten about the leg?" Courtney reminded him and Duncan shrugged again.
"Me and my dad could try making a cast, I guess. Miss. What's-her-face will think it's responsible."
Courtney scoffed, "I am not letting you and some people I have never met fix our baby."
"Then come meet them." Duncan offered.
"As if- wait, what?" Courtney froze. Meet Duncan's parents? "I-I can't do that!"
"Fine, then let me take April home."
give Duncan responsibility or meet his parents...
"I'll meet them."Courtney sighed and Duncan smirked. "When?"
"You could come over after school. It doesn't really matter, they're pretty easy going." Duncan shrugged. He was slightly nervous about Courtney meeting his parents because really, she was the only girl he'd ever brought home. Even if they weren't together.
But you'd like to be. A voice deep in Duncan's mind, nagged him. He frowned at the thought and shook his head to clear his mind of any lingering thoughts that had to do anything with Courtney Stanford being the one he held. The one he kissed. The one he loved...
Okay stop! Duncan ordered himself. Courtney was looking at him weird, waiting for a reply for a question he hadn't heard her ask.
"Sorry, what did you say?" Duncan asked and Courtney rolled her dark brown eyes.
"I said that I should probably call my dad first and see if it's okay with him. And I have a date to cancel with Al but-" Duncan held up his hand, pausing her, mid sentence.
"Wait, you have a date with that jackass tonight? We could always just do this tomorrow, babe." Duncan offered and Courtney tensed up, a panicked look spreading across her face.
"NO!" Courtney yelped and Duncan's eyebrows shot up. "I mean, I'm dating him. There will be other dates. Besides, we need to get this done."
"Whatever you say, Princess." Duncan shrugged it off. "Now go call your daddy and I'll meet you outside, by the flag pole."
"Fine." Courtney huffed and pulled out her phone. Not wanting to be around while she listened to her suck up to her dad, Duncan walked away before she even finished dialling the number.
Minutes later, the bell rang and Duncan made his way to his next class.
Duncan had this strange feeling in his chest. At first, he thought he was having a heart attack and was about to scream at Geoff to call an ambulance, but he realized it wasn't pain.
He felt nervous and happy all at the same time and Duncan wasn't sure why. It was like he was glad he was doing something but scared of what might happen when it came.
Ignoring the feeling like he ignored his teachers, Duncan drilled through the rest of the day. He did what he usually did, talked with Geoff, DJ and this new kid called Dallas Ceaders who he sat beside in the last class of the day.
By the end of the day, the feeling in Duncana chest had expanded as he made his way to the front of the school, by the flag pole. Courtney wasn't there yet.
Sighing, Duncan pulled out his headphones and popped them in his ear. He had this strange feeling that Courtney wasn't coming, but was proven wrong when a car pulled up with the pretty brunette sitting in the drivers seat.
"Get in," (Loser, we're going shopping.)
With a smirk, Duncan slid into the passengers seat. "For a minute there I almost thought you weren't coming."
"Yeah, well Alejandro wanted a goodbye kiss before I left." Courtney said, trying to mask the disgust in her voice but Duncan picked up on it.
"Not as fond of pretty boy as he is of you?" Duncan's eyebrow shot up and Courtney immediately shook his head.
"No, I mean, of course I like him, it's just..." Courtney trailed off.
"Turn here," Duncan pointed to the next turn, "but seriously, what?"
Courtney bit her lip, contemplating if she should really talk about her love life to the guy she hated. Finally, she couldn't hold it in anymore, "He is a horrible kisser, like good riddance it's like he's trying to wash my mouth out with his tongue."
Duncan started laughing hysterically. It wasn't like he really thought much about how Alejandro's kisses would be, but judging from how many girls he seemed to pick up, he assumed he would be good.
Courtney was in the middle of a full on rant now, "Not to mention how much of a terrible person he is! The first date we went on, he lied about being in a TV show and complained the entire time! Ugh, I hate that jerk so much it's unbelievable!"
Duncan had to place his hand against the dashboard to steady himself, this was just too funny.
"It's not funny, Duncan!" Courtney snapped but she had a smile on her face as well, "I have to deal with this guy every day! And sometimes he tries kissing me in public."
Duncan's laughter slowly died down as he wiped a stray tear from his eye, "So remind me again why you're dating this guy?"
"My dad loves him." Courtney sighed. It was like a vacuum cleaner had come and sucked all the fun out of the car. "He would-"
"That's my house!" Duncan yelled, pointing to his home. Courtney slammed her foot on the brakes and Duncan, who wasn't wearing his seatbelt, shot forward and smacked his face on the dashboard." Ow..."
"Maybe you should have worn your seatbelt." Courtney mumbled as Duncan opened the car door, still holding her nose. It wasn't broken or bleeding, but Duncan was still slightly pissed about the whole incident.
They both got out of the car and started walking towards the house. Courtney was twisting her hands around nervously but Duncan was too busy clutching his aching face to notice.
The door swung open and two people rushed out, a shorter blonde woman and a tall black haired man who looked strikingly similar to Duncan. "Oh, honey what happened?" the woman asked and Duncan simply pointed to the brunette standing anxiously beside him.
Both parents turned to face Courtney and neither looked happy. "Who are you?" Mr. Lancaster snarled.
The brunette's palms started to get sweaty and she knew whatever she would say would come out as a squeak. "Courtney."
Mr and Mrs. Lancaster narrowed there eyes as Courtney stood on their front steps. She was in some real trouble.
Review! This was mainly just a filler but I'm planning for next update to be really cute.
