Chapter 9: What Jealousy Can Do To A Teenager

As soon as Bridgette's alarm clock went off, Gwen knew that she was going to be in a bad mood today. Since everybody came back from their excursion at 1:30am, it took quite a while for Gwen to shower, get changed, do homework, and go to bed. So in the end, Gwen fell asleep at 3:30am and had to wake up at 7:45. But for some reason, it wasn't 7:45... Instead, the clock read 6:00. So that meant that Gwen had only been asleep for two and a half hours.

Gwen then heard a few sounds coming from across the room. When Gwen snapped her head to that direction, she realized that it was Leshawna who was groaning. She clearly wasn't a morning person. When Gwen rubbed her eyes, she could now see more clearly, and that meant that she could also see Leshawna a little more clearer. And boy, did she look terrible! Her eyes were all red, her mouth was all dry, and it wasn't a pretty sight.

"W... What time... is it?" She asked.

"Six o' clock" Gwen said in a tired tone.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Leshawna shouted, making Gwen a little more awake.

"Yeah. Why did you set the alarm clock for 6am?" Gwen asked, a little pissed.

"I didn't. It was probably Bridgette because it's her alarm clock"

Gwen and Leshawna then looked over to Bridgette who was still asleep. Gwen was emotionless, while Leshawna was getting angrier within every second from just looking at her.

"Pass me that alarm clock!" Leshawna hissed.

Gwen the took the clock into her hands and threw it over to Leshawna. What could she possibly want to do with it?

Leshawna then angrily threw the clock on Bridgette's head, and it woke her up straight away. Bridgette, however, looked much worse than Leshawna. Her face was all pale, her eyes looked bruised, and she looked as though she were about to vomit.

"What was that for?" She asked, rubbing the back of her head.

"For waking us up!" Leshawna said, pointing to Gwen and herself.

"I'm so sorry. I was just trying to make myself used to getting up early"

"Well you woke us all up!" Leshawna said, close to screaming.

"Who cares... We're up now. I'm actually gonna get ready" Gwen said, slowly getting up.

"You do that. I'm going back to sleep..." Leshawna said, now facing the other side.

"Ugh, guys... I feel so sick!" Bridgette said.

"Take some panadol and leave me alone!" Leshawna said, still angry.

... Half An Hour Later ...

On the way to the cafeteria, Gwen came to notice that not much people were up at 6:30. Gwen was like this herself, because she would usually wake up at 7:45. While continuing to walk, Gwen was slowly losing consciousness as well as her balance. She continued to stumble until she bumped into someone and fell to the floor.

Gwen wasn't really surprised, since she was used to bumping into everyone. Thinking that it was either Duncan or Trent, Gwen looked up to see that it was actually Harold.

"Let me give you a hand, Milady" Harold said, extending a hand.

Grossed out by his geekiness, Gwen held onto his hand as he pulled her up. As she got up, Gwen couldn't help but ask a question that was quickly building up inside her.

"How come you're not tired?"

"I usually wake up at 5:50. It's slowly become a habit, and i'm never tired anymore" Harold explained.

"Interesting..."

"By the way... Are you wearing it?" Harold asked, changing the subject.

"Wearing what?" Gwen asked.

"You know!" Harold said, winking.

"No. I really don't know..."

"The perfume!" Harold finally said.

"How did you know about that?..." Gwen asked, slightly freaked out.

"Because i'm the one who snuck in your room and gave it to you!" Harold said happily.

Gwen was speechless. Her whole world felt it was now changing. Harold was the one who snuck in her room and gave her that awesome present... HAROLD! Out of all people! And the worst part was when that card read 'I think I love you'... Gwen couldn't even imagine spending the rest of her life with a guy like Harold. He was too... Geeky. Gwen knew that sounded mean, but in the end, Harold wasn't her type.

"You pervert!" Gwen shouted. Luckily for Harold, no one was in the corridors to hear Gwen.

"What are you talking about? I thought you would have appreciated my gift!" Harold argued.

"Um, Hello! You snuck into my room in the middle of the night!"

"Yeah. So?"

"You could have raped me. Even my roommates!"

"Really?... You really think I could do such a thing?" Harold asked, smiling about the thought.

"It's not supposed to be a happy thought!" Gwen said.

"Geez, sorry! And it's quite obvious that you were expecting someone else as the mystery guy who gave you that perfume" Harold said.

"No, no. Not at all. The present was perfect, Harold. Thank you" Gwen said, patting Harold on the shoulder.

"You're extremely welcome!" Harold said, showing a cheeky smile.

"But i'm still speechless!"

"I guess it has to do with my ninja-like abilities..."

"Yeah... Well, i've gotta go" Gwen said.

"Wait a sec, Gwen. I just wanted to ask if you're wearing it?" Harold said, making Gwen stay a little longer.

"What? The perfume?" Gwen asked.

Harold nodded.

"Um, yeah" Gwen said.

Instead of saying anything, Harold walked over to Gwen and started to sniff her. Gwen, feeling extremely awkward, hit Harold on the top of his head, and walked off, leaving him to rub his head in pain.

As Gwen continued to walk to the cafeteria, she was feeling more confused and frightened than ever. She was also still angry about Bridgette's stupid alarm clock with all the cute dolphins on it. But this wasn't the time for cute dolphins! So Gwen continued marching to the cafeteria. But in the end, Harold would also end up going to the cafeteria, and that would result in Harold trying to converse with Gwen again. Gwen was actually considering to pay Duncan to be her personal body guard around Harold. But that meant that she would have to start earning money. Unless, he would do it for free... They were friends, and Duncan hated Harold anyway!

*Ugh, what am I thinking...* Gwen thought, snapping out of her crazy idea.

In the end, Gwen decided to go to the bathroom and put the rest of her eye-liner on in there. When she got a good look at herself in the mirror, Gwen almost screamed at her disturbing reflection. Her eyes were watery, she had bags under her eyes, and her skin looked more white than ever.

*If only Heather were here to make fun of me...* Gwen thought sarcastically as she applied some eye-liner on.

... 8:30 ...

When Gwen arrived at her usual classroom, she realized that she was a bit late than usual. This felt quite weird to Gwen, since she had woken up 2 hours earlier... As Gwen looked around her classroom, she saw that a lot more students were in her class than usual. Gwen just ignored the other students in the classroom, and proceeded over to her usual seat. She then looked over to Duncan to ask what was going on.

"Wow, you look nice!" Duncan said sarcastically.

"Just shut up and answer my question!" Gwen snapped.

"Woah, someone's angry... And I don't know, so stop attacking me!"

"Okay, sorry. I just woke up a little earlier than expected..." Gwen said, almost letting her head fall on her desk.

Gwen then looked at Bridgette who decided to actually show up at class today. She looked just as dead as Gwen.

"Seriously Pasty, you look dead!" Duncan said, interrupting her thoughts.

"Then you should see me with my make up off"

"I'll pass..."

"I thought you liked me just the way I was?" Gwen asked.

"Yeah, your usual everyday self. This is just... different!"

"Whatever..." Gwen said, looking away from Duncan, and this time at Harold.

Harold was already looking at Gwen the whole time, smiling with that cheeky grin of his, and waved hysterically when he noticed that Gwen was staring back. Gwen waved with less energy, then turned back to face Duncan.

"Ohh, so it's Dorkus that's making you angry!" Duncan said, now understanding the situation.

"You seriously don't now whats going on in that little head of his..." Gwen said, laying her head down on her desk.

"Does he like you?"

"What makes you think that?" Gwen asked, suddenly blushing.

"It's so obvious"

"It isn't!"

"..."

"..."

"You like him"

"Oh please. If I did like him, then I would have paired up with him for that weekly math quiz he keeps talking about!"

"And then you partnered up with me. So that must mean that you like me!" Duncan said, winking.

For some reason, this made Gwen blush even more, and she was getting really pissed off about it.

"It's a professional manner, remember?... You even said it yourself"

"But if you like me that much, then you can just tell me face to face" Duncan said.

"Hahahhaha, that's funny!" Gwen said, looking at him while lying her head on her side.

Duncan rolled his eyes, noting her sarcasm.

Mr Andrews then arrived. He was late, as usual. But at least nobody seemed to care anymore. This was probably because the classroom was left open since yesterday. Anyways, Mr Andrews looked at all twenty students who were now gathered all around his room, and started saying his 'speech' as soon as Blaineley arrived.

"Okay everyone. I guess half of you are guessing why you're here, while the other half of you are wondering why every student from class 49 is here... Well thats because we are all going to write essays today"

As soon as Mr Andrews finished that last sentence, Gwen looked over to Duncan, and glared at him.

"I thought you said there were no tests or assignments after excursions!" Gwen whispered.

"Thats what I thought too!" He whispered back.

Mr Andrews then continued: "But since I am feeling pretty generous today, I will let you do this essay in pairs. All you have to do is write down what you've all learnt. Now go and partner up"

No matter what was about to happen, Gwen swore at that very moment that she wouldn't pair up with Duncan, because in the end, he knew as much as her about Camp Wawanakwa, and that was absolutely nothing! Luckily, it was Courtney who walked over to Gwen and asked to be her partner. Even though Gwen was happy that Courtney wanted to be her partner, her voice seemed a little more shocked.

... A Few Minutes Later ...

Courtney and Gwen were looking at the blank sheet of paper that was on Gwen's desk. They weren't quite sure on how to start the essay, because none of them have learnt a thing about Camp Wawanakwa. And the more Gwen added suggestions, the more Courtney declined them in a rude manner.

"How about we start off with-"

"Listen Gwen... No mater what you say with that charcoal blue mouth of yours, it's just going to sound stupid in the end" Courtney explained, showing a fake smile.

"Okay then... How about we-"

"No, i'm sorry!"

"But you haven't even heard my idea!" Gwen said.

"Yes, I know. But you just don't seem like a good writer... So i'm just going to have to do this on my own"

"Listen Courtney... You asked me to be your partner, and this is partner work. So shut up, and listen to one of my ideas for once!" Gwen snapped.

Courtney stared at Gwen in disbelief.

"Okay then, Gwen... Tell me this idea of yours" Courtney said.

*Wow. I can actually get through to her!* Gwen thought.

"Okay. So I was thinking that we should-"

"Okay, i'm sorry. I just can't do this. We both clearly don't have enough knowledge about Camp Wawanakwa..." Courtney said.

"Geez, hear me out for once..." Gwen muttered.

"Okay Gwen. I know I may have overreacted just a little..., and i'm really sorry. I just like everything to be perfect. What can I say... I guess i'm a perfectionist!"

The more Gwen thought about it, the more it made sense. Maybe thats why Duncan and Courtney broke up on such bad terms... Courtney probably tried all she could to change Duncan into a 'better' man. Maybe she did that so he could be the perfect boyfriend for her... And maybe thats why Duncan gets pissed off so easily when he's around Courtney... Yes, it all made sense now! Gwen was slowly starting to think about becoming a detective. Or at least... a CIA agent!

"It's fine" Gwen said. "I'm also in a bad mood too..."

"Why?"

"Because Bridgette's stupid alarm woke me up at 6:00am, and then I bump into Harold who tells me that he gave me a mystery valentine" Gwen explained.

"Interesting. Sounds like he really likes you" Courtney said, adding smile.

"I sure hope he doesn't!"

...

Later on when the essays were finally handed up, everyone from classroom 49 all went back to their original class. This left some time for Gwen to actually think and maybe take a nap. This was one of those times when Gwen wished that she was Geoff. He could easily get away with sleeping in class, and Gwen envied him for that. But before Gwen could actually lie her head down on her table, the bell had already rung. Well, at least Gwen might be able to sleep in the cafeteria.

Since Duncan was already heading out of the classroom, Gwen decided to catch up with him and actually have a proper conversation with him this time.

"Are you already over your crush on Dorkus?" He asked.

"Yeah yeah... Anyways, what did you write for your essay?"

"Meh, I couldn't care any less, so I let Noah do all the work"

"You were actually with Noah?" Gwen asked, a little bit surprised.

"Well yeah. Only because I was forced into- WHAT THE?" Duncan said, suddenly being hugged by Courtney.

"Hey Dunkie!" Courtney said, still hugging him from behind.

Duncan was too speechless to respond, and Gwen was feeling very uncomfortable about this. She could already tell that nothing was going to turn out good in the end.

"... Hi..." Duncan responded. For some reason, his voice squeaked.

Courtney then let go from her embrace, and walked over to feel his right arm.

"Wow. Have you been working out?" Courtney asked.

"Um, yeah. Anyways-"

"Well it's a big improvement since last time!" Courtney said, giving the sweetest smile ever.

Gwen still couldn't believe what the hell was going on. Within every second, the more awkward she felt, and had the urge to go away.

"Really?" Duncan asked, suddenly interested in the topic.

"Of course! I mean, do you remember the time when you carried me all around campus?... Everyone thought that we were the best couple ever" Courtney added, secretly looking at Gwen from the corner of her eye.

"Yeah. And it's in the past" Duncan said.

"True. But I miss those times. Don't you?..." Courtney asked, suddenly hugging Duncan again.

"Oh, look at the time... Leshawna said that she had to tell me something, so I better go and find out. Bye" Gwen said, walking away super fast.

"Bye..." Duncan said.

"Yeah, bye Gwen. Anyways, Dunkie... I was thinking that we-" Courtney said, just before being pushed by Duncan.

"Why did you push me for?" Courtney asked.

"Because you wouldn't stop hugging me!"

"Oh, sorry. And by the way, Dunkie-"

"And what's your deal?" Duncan asked.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm just asking why you're sucking up to me all of a sudden. And the last time we spoke, I remember you telling me to change so that I could become the perfect boyfriend for you!"

"And I now realize that I was wrong, Duncan! I actually took some time to think about this... And I really want to get back together with you... Because... I still love you!" Courtney said.

Duncan was caught off-guard with what Courtney had just told him. He had already gotten used to being single, and actually having the ability to do what he wanted without being judged.

"So Duncan... What do you say?... How about we get back together?"

"... I... I..."

(Sorry for the sudden interruption, but this scene happens to be missing some bits & pieces)

... A While Later ...

It was now lunch, and Gwen was in her room, sitting on her bed, and continuously stared into space. What was wrong with her today?... First she was bummed, then freaked out, and then... Jealous. Even though it was a hard feeling to admit at times, she couldn't help but feel it when she saw Courtney all over Duncan. She didn't know why she felt this way, but it was really starting to get the better of her. And worse of all, Gwen thought that Courtney was her actual friend! But after that whole scenario, she knew that Courtney wanted to make her feel jealous. But why? Was Gwen a threat? And after all, she and Duncan were just friends. Nothing more, nothing less.

In fact, Gwen was so deep in her own thoughts, that she didn't even realize that Bridgette and Leshawna were trying to gain her attention.

"Finally!" Leshawna said, still waving her arms in the air.

"Are you okay, Gwen? You didn't seem alright in class..." Bridgette said.

"Yeah. I'm fine" Gwen replied.

"No you're not" Bridgette said as she also sat down on Gwen's bed.

"Do you want to tell us what happened?" Leshawna asked, sitting on the desk which was near the table.

"Well, I guess it all started when I found out that Harold was the one who snuck in our room that night, and-"

"HE WHAT?" Bridgette asked.

"OOH, HE'S GONNA GET IT!" Leshawna shouted.

"Wait guys, thats not all of it..." Gwen said.

"Go on..." Bridgette said.

"And then at recess, I was talking to Duncan... And then... All of a sudden, Courtney comes and starts flirting with him. And... I guess it just felt uncomftorable to be around them" Gwen finished.

Everything was now silent. Not awkward, but silent... Gwen looked over to Bridgette and Leshawna who just stared at each other, then slowly started to show huge smiles on their faces.

"What?" Gwen asked.

But none of them answered, and their smiles just kept on growing wider and wider.

"What?" Gwen repeated.

"You so like Duncan!" Bridgette said happily.

"Not like... But, like like!" Leshawna said, also happy.

"I do not!" Gwen argued.

"It's so cute because she keeps denying it!" Bridgette said.

"Looks like someones in love!" Leshawna winked.

"Ooh! I remember when I started feeling like that about Geoff!" Bridgette added.

"Okay guys, I don't like Duncan. End of story!" Gwen said.

"Think about it... Why else would you feel jealous about Courtney and Duncan?" Leshawna asked.

"There are other reasons, and I don't care what you say because I know that I don't like him like that!" Gwen said.

But in the end, Leshawna and Bridgette ended up ignoring Gwen, and started to dance happily in the middle of the room while Gwen hid her face in her pillow.

"SHE SO LIKES HIM!" They both shouted.

In fact... They both shouted so loud, that the windows almost cracked!

They continued to dance for a good minute and a half, because Geoff interrupted them by barging in out of nowhere. And speaking of Geoff... He looked like he just got attacked by some wild animal. His face was scratched, his shirt was torn, and his lucky hat was gone.

"Geoff!" Bridgette said angrily, walking towards him.

"What?"

"If you didn't like the hat I got you for valentine's day, then you should've just said so!" Bridgette said, noticing the missing hat.

"Trust me babe, I loved it!"

People screaming for their lives could be heard from outside the room. Geoff looked like he was about to cry, while Bridgette, Leshawna, and Gwen were all confused.

"What's going on?" Leshawna asked, as she walked over to the door.

"DON'T OPEN IT!" Geoff warned.

"Why?" Bridgette asked.

"Because Courtney has officially gone whacko! I mean... I was just walking down the hallway, and she just popped out of nowhere and started to attack me! And then there was a group of guys that walked past, so she started to tackle them, and then I escaped!" Geoff explained.

"So, you're saying that Courtney has turned into some psycho beast?" Leshawna asked.

"Yeah!"

"But Courtney's my friend!... But I also spent $300 on that new hat!" Bridgette said.

"It's okay, babe. I'll find the hat later" Geoff said in a calm tone.

"Did you find out why she was angry?" Gwen asked.

"Yeah. Duncan told me everything!... He said that Courtney asked to get back together with him. But get this, guys... He totally shot her down!" Geoff said.

Leshawna then looked over at Gwen and winked at her. Gwen felt a little bit happier now.

"Did he say why he shot her down?" Bridgette asked.

"Yeah. Duncan told Courtney that he thinks he likes someone else at the moment. And thats when she snapped!" Geoff said.

This time it was Bridgette who looked over at Gwen and winked. Gwen then rolled her eyes in a playful way.

"Did he say who the girl was?" Gwen asked, desperate for the answer.

"Nah. He said that he didn't tell Courtney, because she might go on a hunt to kill the poor girl. And what upsets me the most is that i'm one of Duncan's best friends, and he didn't even tell me who he likes!" Geoff said.

"But do you have any ideas on who the girl is?" Gwen asked.

"Aw, I find it cute that you're jealous, Gwen!" Geoff said, smiling.

"What?"

"You like Duncan, don't you?" He asked.

"No, I don't. Geez, do you listen to everything these two say?" Gwen asked, pointing at Leshawna and Bridgette.

"No. I just feel the vibe you have... And the jealousy!" Geoff added.

Gwen just thought that it would be best off to ignore this subject for a while. Maybe later, everyone in her room would stop making fun of her.

... A Little While Later ...

When the bell rang, Bridgette, Geoff, and Gwen strolled over to their classroom, while Leshawna walked to her own. When Gwen sat in her seat, she noticed that some people around her were hurt. Possibly by Courtney... Perfect examples were how Owen's shirt was practically shredded. How Harold's glasses were hanging from a different angle on his nose, and even how Beth's pony tail looked as though it had been pulled numerous times. These were all innocent people that Courtney decided to randomly attack!

While Gwen was still deep in thought, a familiar voice had interrupted her.

"Hey, Pasty!"

It was Duncan, and he looked terrible. He had a black eye, and his right earlobe seemed to be bleeding.

"What the hell happened to you?" Gwen asked, showing concern.

"Nothing much" Duncan replied.

"Doesn't look like it"

"Well, I guess you could say that I got into some... trouble" Duncan said, turning to face Gwen.

"More like you ran into a hungry tiger"

"Okay, so it was Courtney... Se went all feral on me, and everybody else that was around at the time..."

"Doesn't sound like her..." Gwen said.

"Well she punched my face like no tomorrow. And as a bonus, she tried to rip my piercing off!" Duncan said, now touching his injured ear.

"Ouch... You must have really upset her"

"Not really... She just overreacted"

"About?..." Gwen asked, pretending not to know.

"Geez. Someone must really love me today!" Duncan said.

"Shut up. I'm just concerned. Now tell me what happened"

"Well, she asked to get back together with me"

"And?..." Gwen asked.

"And what?... I obviously said no" Duncan said.

"Really?" Gwen asked, showing a small smile.

"Wow... You sound really sad about it" Duncan said, sarcastically.

"I'm just glad that you made the right decision"

"Because you're jealous of Courtney and you want to be with me instead, because that's how much you love me" Duncan joked.

"Once again, you wish!" Gwen said.

"No. You wished that you were with me"

"Seriously, you should become a comedian!" Gwen joked.

...

After class, Gwen once again sat on her bed, and thought a lot about the whole Courtney and Duncan thing. Even Gwen thought that it was weird that she could be jealous of a girl like Courtney. She was uptight, and classy, and too perfect. Gwen was more carefree, middle class, and herself. She didn't need a specific role to play on this earth, or even in anyone else's life. So why did she feel different all of a sudden?

Loud knocking could now be heard on Gwen's door, and she walked over to answer it. For some reason, she expected Courtney. But it ended up being DJ instead.

"DJ?..."

"You've gotta let me in!" DJ begged.

Without giving it a second thought, Gwen let DJ in straight away.

"What happened?" Gwen asked, now noticing that his hat was was missing.

"It's Courtney. She's a little less crazy now, but still crazy!"

"And she just decided to attack you?"

"Yeah. I did all I could to get away from her, so I just went to the first place I could at least call 'safe'!" DJ said.

"Aw, well thats sweet, DJ. But is that the only reason why you're here?"

Just as DJ was going to answer that question, Leshawna and Bridgette came running in out of nowhere. They looked as though they raced each other around the whole campus.

"What's up with you two?" Gwen asked.

"We... We tried to run as fast... as we could!..." Leshawna started.

"Because... We thought... we'd run into... Courtney!..." Bridgette finished.

"Oh, hey DJ. What brings you to our crib?" Leshawna asked as soon as she regained her breathing.

"I was just going to tell Gwen why i'm really here" DJ said.

"Sooooo" Bridgette said.

"Tell us!" Leshawna said.

"Okay. Courtney may have been angry because she thinks that Duncan likes Gwen" DJ said.

"..."

"So she's jealous..." Leshawna said, smirking evilly.

"I like the sound of this!" Bridgette said.

"But then, Duncan said to Courtney that Gwen wasn't the one that he likes, and thats why she's calmed down a little. I just wanted to tell Gwen, because Courtney felt like ripping her head off before" DJ explained.

"Wait. So you're saying that Duncan likes someone, and Courtney suggested that it was Gwen?" Bridgette asked.

"Yeah. Apparently you're close with him" DJ said to Gwen.

"And then Duncan told Courtney that the girl he likes isn't Gwen?" Leshawna asked.

"Yep. Thats it. So if you were afraid of Courtney before, then she should be fine around you now" DJ said, smiling at Gwen.

Leshawna and Bridgette looked over at Gwen, seeing that she looked different in some way.

"Thanks, DJ" Gwen said, smiling.

"No worries. Now I really have to go" DJ said, heading towards the door.

After when DJ ran for his life, Bridgette looked at Gwen, and walked over to her.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I guess i'm just surprised that Courtney thought that Duncan liked me" Gwen said.

"Are you sure it's because of that?" Bridgette asked.

"Yeah. Are you sure it's not because Duncan said that he likes someone else?" Leshawna asked.

"Of course not, guys. I'm fine. I've actually never been more happier"

Leshawna and Bridgette looked each other, showing the same worried expression.

"Well... I guess we were wrong then" Leshawna said.

"About?..." Gwen asked.

"You know... How we kept saying that Duncan really liked you. Looks like we were wrong, big time!" Bridgette said.

"It's alright guys. And I never even thought of Duncan in that kind of way, no matter what you two kept telling me" Gwen said.

"Well, theres still a positive to all of this" Leshawna said.

"What?" Gwen and Bridgette asked.

"Trent might still like you!"

"Let's not get into that right now... We were already wrong about Duncan, so we might be wrong about Trent as well" Bridgette said.

"Oh yeah... Sorry. But wait! Theres definitely Cody and Harold. They practically drool whenever you walk past them!" Leshawna said.

"First of all... Cody is my friend. And secondly... Harold is a dweeb, who I will never have any interest in!" Gwen said.

"I guess we shouldn't be mentioning this at the moment" Bridgette said.

"Listen. I know you're trying to cheer me up... But theres no need! I'm absolutely fine!" Gwen said, showing a smile.

Sadly, Bridgette and Leshawna knew that the smile was fake. But in the end, they decided to ignore it, because they would just stir up more stress for Gwen.

... A Few Hours Later ...

When Leshawna and Bridgette decided to get a head start to the cafeteria for dinner, Gwen stayed behind, trying to convince herself that everything was okay. But she secretly knew that she wasn't and just wished that she was. Still, Gwen was relieved that Courtney didn't want to hunt her down anymore. But she was also quite offended that Duncan would say that he didn't like the type of girl that Gwen was.

*What's wrong with me? I'm unique, I don't give a damn about what everyone says, and I even have my own style. What is there not to love?... Is it because I don't look like Heather or Lindsay? Well, I don't care anymore* She thought.

Just as Gwen fearlessly picked herself up and headed for the door, her phone vibrated. As she looked at it, she saw that it was a message from Courtney. It was probably some kind of hate mail, but Gwen decided to look at it anyway.

'Hey Gwen, it's Courtney. Once again, I wanted to apologize about the way I inappropriately behaved to you while writing down that essay. And I also wanted to apologize about the constant flirting in front of that... Thing!

I really hope you can forgive me, because I really see ourselves as the best of friends :)'

Gwen wasn't really sure what to think. As far as Gwen was concerned, Courtney seemed like this monster with two faces, and having exactly five million personalities being shown within every ten minutes! But Gwen also didn't want to stir up the trouble, so she ended up typing back:

'It's okay Courtney. I see us as the best of friends as well. :)'

As Gwen walked out of her room, she knew that she was starting to feel a whole lot better. Not because of Courtney's sudden apology, but because Gwen was acting mature about it. But in the end, Gwen knew that it would all come to no use. This is just a no-good boarding school that is currently filled with nut jobs. And Gwen already knew that a whole lot of drama could be controlled by anyone. Even if it was Courtney!

*Seriously... What the hell is wrong with this school?...*
