Truth or Dare

Chapter 7; Passing Days

With every passing day, Courtney was reminded by the devil reincarnated that her time was ticking away. Wednesday had started with a good evil stare, and a mouth of the word 'V-card' across the classroom. Courtney rolled her eyes, turning away. Why was she doing it to herself? Heather was nothing but a bitch to her, but she knew she had to get herself back in her good books.

"Cheer up, Courtney." Bridgette would smile, nudging her shoulder. It was okay for her. Heather was perfectly fine with Bridgette because Bridgette had lost her virginity a long time ago now. Courtney, however, was not so lucky.

Virginity was a precious thing to some people, not so much value was placed on it with others. When you live in a socitey where losing you phone is more tragic than your virginity, what was Courtney supposed to do? She felt lost and confused, wandering around the school feeling epty and lost.

Alejandro had tried to talk to her a couple of times, trying to smooth talk her into his bed. Or hers, he wasn't too fussing over the seeting. He had even offered an abdon classroom or the supply closet. But Courtney waved him off, not wanting anything to do with him anymore. Heather hadn't got that message and made a big song and dance over her new beau every time Courtney was in eye sight. Heather didn't realize Courtney couldn't care less about that asshole anymore.

Bridgette tried her best to be a friend to Courtney, but it was hard for her. She was a popular, Courtney no longer was. The blonde tried her best to be there for Courtney, but when times like Lunch rolled around, it was the popular table or be an outcast. And there was no competition when Bridgette was concerned. As much as she loved Courtney as a sister, she still counted on her popularity.

Courtney, every day of the week, sat at Duncan's table. After Tuesday had gone so well between them, she thought it wouldn't be bad to give Wednesday a try. Every clique had their own little group and their own little table, but now Courtney had nowhere else to go.

"Back again, Princess?" The punk had sighed, throwing his food tray across the square table as he threw himself into the seat directly opposite the teenage girl.

"My name is Courtney."

"What are you doing here, Princess?" He asked, ignoring her comment. "Did the twats over finally go blind from all that gold?" Duncan wiggled his eyesbrows towards the jewellry Courtney was wearing. And there was a lot. Showing off in her parents honour, as usual.

The brunette rolled her eyes, going back to the book she had laid out on the table. She wasn't in the mood for eating right then and a catch up on her studies was needed. And it wasn't like she knew where the library was in the school, she always did her studying at home. Courtney couldn't go back there and miss another half day, her father had been furious with her last night when the school had reported her missing by phone call.

Plus, it wasn't like Duncan hadn't heard the rumors of Courtney being a virgin. She could tell by the way his eyes glanced over to her every so often. He going to ask, he was going to ask, he was going to-

"So, Princess-"

"Let me stop you right there." Courtney slammed her textbook closed, but it didn't make a crack in the loud atmosphere around them. "First off, my name is Courtney. C-O-U-R-T-N-E-Y! It is the name my parents gave me and it is the name I go by. I have no idea where the silly little nickname you have created has even come from. Second of all, yes, it's true. I'm a virgin and I choose to be one. I don't plan on conforming to this whole school society any time soon as I value myself a lot more than anyone around here does, clearly."

"I was just gonna ask if you wanted the rest of my fries, but good to know." The punk winked his blue eye towards the teenage girl, but she turned her attention back down to the now reopened book, hoping that her face wasn't as red as she thought it was. "And, if you must know, you're a spoilt brat. Princess' get everything they want and then some."

"I don't get everything I want." She protested, but her voice was too weak.

"Pah-Lease!" Duncan retorted, stuffing a handful of fries into his mouth. "You're a rich little daddy's girl, everyone knows it. I know it may come as a shock to you, but even kids like me, the lower class-men, as you would call it, hear all this shit about you and your group of hoes and how great you all are."

Courtney rolled her eyes. Arguing with Duncan was pointless. Which was a new low for Courtney. She liked to argue, she liked to debate. It was something she was naturally good at, not something her father had to buy tutors for. But she had no argument for Duncan. No matter how much she wanted to deny it, she couldn't, because denying it would have been a lie. She was a spoiled daddy's girl, all her 'friends' were. They always had the latest and greatest and the 'lower class men,' as Duncan had put it, had to hear all about it in stupid little gossip.

They remained in silence for the rest of Wednesday lunch, which dragged on for too long in Courtney's opinion. There was only so much textbook reading she could do. But she waited there until final bell to get up and leave. Duncan had left before that, but Courtney couldn't bring herself to come back to the real world quite yet.

"You and Mr. Bad boy, huh?" Bridgette joked, nudging and winking at her best friend on their way towards last period. "Geoff has chemistry with him, says he's a real class clown. I could ask him to check him out for you." The blonde's eyes sparkled with delight, but Courtney just budged her shoulder with a laugh.

"There is nothing between me and him." Courtney was adamant that she didn't even like the boy. Which, really, she didn't. It was just the only available table in the cafeteria for her to sit at, so she took it. He just happened to come with the table.

"Come back to mine?" Bridgette asked. "Daddy got me a new Gucci." She teased in her sing song voice, knowing that Courtney would be jealous and dying to see it. Her father was yet to get her the newest Gucci style, not until grades came out for the semester was Courtney to be rewarded.

"I can't." She sighed. "I'm behind on work. Daddy won't be too happy when he finds out I'm failing. No Gucci for me, lucky enough to get a H&M." Both teenagers made faces, laughing as they entered the classroom. Heather's face was the first thing Courtney saw. It only gave her a jolt of pain, forcing her to remember the deal. Only five days left on the clock. Five more days to lose the big one, or else Courtney could kiss goodbye to everything she had once had coming back to her.

She never realized how badly she wanted it. The life Courtney had had to leave behind since the weekend was something she craved. It wasn't a choice, it was a need. A desire. It was the desire for her to be center of attention again.

As Bridgette wandered over to the popular corner of the room, kissing her boyfriend happily, Courtney was reminded of the pain she felt. It loomed deep inside of her, making her yearn for the previous Friday to come back to her. She had been the one sat in the corner, kissing her boyfriend at free will. It was what she had desired to do. And what she desired to do again.

"Settle down class." As soon as the classroom door was shut, Courtney opened up her notebook, but she had no interest in learning Geography just then. She set out on a list of boys she would allow to un-virgin her. If she was going to do this, she was going to do this right.

However, by the end of class, not a single name on Courtney's list wasn't crossed out with a heavy black line. She had started with all the boys in the grade she knew, then she crossed out the obvious ones and the worked her way through reasons to not let the rest touch her. There was no one she knew suitable enough for her.

Courtney tried thinking outside the box while she packed away her bag. There was her father's clubs, her father's work. The boys she had met at social gatherings, the ones who were roughly her age, were all decent lads. They had high aspirations, much like herself, and were all under the watchful eyes of their parents. If Courtney lost it to someone like that then she could at least be proud of herself, and may even earn half a decent boyfriend in the act. A future husband, even.

But no. Those boys were prudes. Stuck up and arrogant. They were far too interested in themselves to be interested in Courtney. Plus, her father had never let her back to his gold club meet after she threw her club at his boss by mistake. He was always wary about taking his daughter anywhere official. The good thing about her to him was he could show her off, the bad thing was that he didn't have a son to gloat about with the others. It always had made Courtney wary of when to hold her tongue.

Outside, on the walk towards her car, Courtney was stopped. The bitch of her life was leaning against the shining black armor in which Courtney so wished to protect herself within. Heather had no reason to be there. Yet, there she was.

"Can I help you, Heather?" Courtney stopped a few feet away, not wanting to get too close. Who knew, maybe some STD's were airborne.

"Watch you start messing with, Courtney." The Asian girl grinned. "I'm still watching and your time is ticking short." The brunette rolled her eyes, not really caring. Heather could try to scare her all she wanted, but it wasn't going to work. Courtney was going to find herself the perfect guy and she was going to get back where she belonged, no matter what the whore Queen said.
