WARNING
MENTIONS BULIMIA
Courtney tiredly walked into the school's girls locker room which was full of girls changing, talking, eating , or getting out the showers in a towel. She walked down the rows of girls till she saw Heather in the back of the locker room changing. Heather glances at Courtney while taking her bra off. " hi bitch." She smiles digging in her red duffel bag for her sports bra.
Courtney set her purple duffle bag on the bench. "Hi whore." She said taking her heels off then taking her skinny jeans off.
"Ugh you will not believe what that maniac Izzy did in chemistry today." Heather said, putting her tight black and red sports bra on her body. She dug in her bag and grabbed her short spandex and her sneakers and set them on the bench then opened her locker which had a big mirror on it to see her.
Courtney fakes thinks for a moment while digging in her bag for her spandex, shoes and other things she needed. " she shot a dart at the teacher or she set the room on fire." She said, taking her shirt and bra off. She folded it and put it in her bag.
" even worse. She somehow got the padlock off the some drawer stealing all the chemicals mr.Fockman had in there, mixed them all together and threw it at the ceiling. There's a big ass hole on the roof and we all had to evacuate the classroom." Heather exclaimed looking in the mirror, putting her long silky but thick hair in a high ponytail. She turned around and saw Courtney putting her tight red sports bra on her tanned mocha body. Then putting her red spandex on.
"When will they expell that crazy psycho bitch" Courtney said, pulling up her spandex. Then she sat on the bench putting her white socks and shoes on " But then again school wouldn't be as funny with the lunatic around." She snickers. Heather laughed in agreement and started putting her socks and shoes on too.
"Oh I forgot to remind you we need to go over the dramatic pyramid routine." Heather said getting up and grabbing her duffle bag.
Courtney got up as well grabbing her duffle bag " speaking of that Captain I was thinking of some moves we can throw in to wow the judges." Courtney said, smiling , walking ahead of her to the large gym.
"Okay Co-captain but I got more gossip for you ." She said walking next to her smiling evilly.
—————————————————————————-
All the girls were stretching in the large gym. Courtney and Heather were stretching together gossiping.
"She totally got caught giving top Jordan." Heather said, rolling her eyes.
"I don't know what's worse the fact that she was dumb enough to give him head to him in the school bathroom or the fact that she chose the main halls instead of the abandoned hallway at the end of campus" she said rolling her eyes at the stupidity of the girl.
"Right," Heather said. Then she leaned to Courtney's ear. "Guess who's on the market." She said with a devious smile.
" Alejandro." She said teasingly.
Heather blushed " I don't care if he dumped that slut shianne" she said annoyed.
Courtney smirked. "Unh huh" "shut up" Heather snapped. Courtney laughed.
"Anyways... A certain bad boy broke up with the gothic whore and is on the market." She said in a sing song voice and smirked at Courtney's fake grossed out face.
"Ew why are you telling me this I don't like that pig." She said but deep down she was jumping for joy. They have been dating for a good 3 months. She hated seeing them together.
"Oh knock it off me and you both know that I know you like him. admit it " She said knowingly while getting up.
"When you admit you like Alejandro." Courtney shot back, finished her last stretch and got up.
" okay I do." Heather said, smirking.
Courtney rolled her eyes " whatever" she mumbled annoyed. She took the hair tie off her wrist and tied her long Chestnut hair into a high ponytail.
Heather smirked, " I was totally lying by the way," she said, sauntering off to the girls that were stretching.
Courtney folded her arms walking after Heather "we both know that's not true!" She called out to her
Heather just flipped her off before bossing the other girls around and telling them what they're doing at practice today.
———————————————————————————-
"RUN RUN RUN!" Master chief's voice was booming down the football field. He was yelling at the football players so hard that you can see a large vein in his neck throbbing.
The football player #66 ran with the ball when #15 roughly and aggressively tackles him down.
Chef blows the whistle and stomps on the field "PHILLIPS NEXT TIME YOU GET ON THE FIELD GIVE 110 PERCENT OF YOU'LL BE BENCHED FOR THE NEXT 2 GAMES AND WILL BE RUNNING DURING THOSE 5 PRACTICES!" Chef yells at Scott who was on the ground from being tackled. Chef looks at The other football player that takes his helmet off. " Good play Salvador brings that energy x10 in the next game " the chef says then walks to the principal Mr.Mclean.
15 takes his helmet off and smirks down at Scott who was pissed.
Duncan smirks and turns around to Geoff.
"You tackled him down man!" Geoff says to a sweaty Duncan. Duncan smirks " the asshole was creasing me all day" he left out why he was annoyed at Scott. Scott kept flirting with a certain chestnut cheerleader that he liked since pre-k.
Geoff smirks already knowing why. Alejandro saunters up to them "I heard the cheerleaders are in the large gym today." He said smoothly with his velvety accent.
"Aw sweet man," Duncan said, getting excited. He was gonna see his favorite cheerleader.
"BOYS GET YOUR ROYAL ASSES OVER HERE!" Master chef yelled from the side of the field next to Mr.McLean who was smirking.
———————————————————————————
Courtney stood at the top at the pyramid doing a standing up split. With the girls holding her up.
"HOLD THE POSE." Heather screamed at the girls turning the music off. She was gonna yell at the girls some more when the gym door opened having football players flood through the doors.
The girls got out of formation and were confused and talking about the football players at the other side of the gym taking their shirts off talking.
Courtney walked up to Heather '' what the hell are they doing here. This wasn't your idea right!" She exclaimed to Heather. '' of course not!" Heather snapped " I wouldn't have All here if I did!" She then stormed up to the captain of the team which coincidentally was Alejandro.
"Why the fuck are you here? We're In The middle of practice." She said glaring at him. Before Alejandro could reply Chris McLeans voice said " they're sitting in the gym till their practice is over" he said smiling smugly cause he knew The two girls wouldn't be happy.
"Ugh they can't be here the girls will get distracted and they'll be loud!" Courtney exclaimed gesturing to the boys.
Heather glared at him " Yeah you can't just leave over 40 guys here with us that's your job and our practice is shorter than theirs!"
"WELL HE JUST DID IS THERE A PROBLEM!" Hatchet yelled in Heather's face.
Heather shrinked back in fear. "Uh actually I changed my mind no problem at all. Right co-captain?" She said smiling nervously at Courtney. Courtney nodded
Quickly at him " none at all" she said.
"That's what I thought." Chef says to the 2 girls and turns to the football players. "IF YALL DONT KEEP QUIET YOU GUYS WILL BE RUNNING FOR 2 HOURS AFTER PRACTICE FOR THE NEXT MONTH!" Chef yelled at the boys who got quiet immediately.
"Now if you excuse us we'll be eating red lobster." Chris McClean says walking with the chef out the door.
Courtney groaned. Heather rolled her eyes
" What's wrong princess? Jealous about all these girls giving me a show?" Duncan says walking up to the 2 girls. Courtney glared at him " don't talk to me pig" she says walking back to the other cheerleaders.
Duncan couldn't help but check Courtney out. She has the best body out of all the girls. The way her spandex rode up and the sweat she had glistening on her flat stomach making her belly button piercing glisten more.
"Fuck.." Duncan muttered under his breath.
"Ugh!" Heather yelled in Alejandro's face snapping Duncan out of his lustful trance. She stormed off in the direction of the other girls.
" Get back to your pyramid position!"
Duncan and Geoff and Alejandro smirk arrived at each other.
Courtney stood in a ready position ready for Heather to play the music.
She was nervous cause Duncan was watching her. She prayed she wouldn't mess up.
Heather played the music and the girls immediately did their routine. Courtney did a front flip with a cart wheel and continued the routine.
When her time came to get on the top of the pyramid she breathed and did what she had to do even though she felt a green mohawked boy's striking blue eyes on her.
She got on top of the pyramid doing a standing up split. And Heather turned off the music " HOLD THE POSITION OR YOU GUYS WILL BE RUNNING TILL THE END OF PRACTICE!" Heather screamed at the girls.
A few guys whistled at the girls. Courtney and a few others blushed. Heather ignored them and talked to the girls at the bottom and showed them the new way they're going to release the pyramid.
Duncan stared at Courtney. He always likes flexible girls. Duncan's eyes racked her beautiful form. But was disappointed when the pyramid was released and when did a flip and the girls caught her.
Duncan couldn't help but feel jealous at the other guys staring at her.
When practice ended Courtney felt drained and tired. She didn't even want to change back into her normal clothes; she just wanted to go home. Plus Duncan was around and she wanted to get as far from here as possible. She felt his eyes on her the whole practice. She couldn't help but feel insecure about the way he was staring at her. What if she messed up? What if she had a wedgie? What if he saw her bloated stomach?
UGH.
But something about being under his gaze made her want to outshine the other girls. Even though she wouldn't admit it out loud, she still liked the attention he gave her.
When practice ended she changed her shoes into her Nike slides to make her feet feel better and grabbed her bag and Waited for Heather. They both wanted to go shopping after practice.
She saw Heather talking to a freshman cheerleader so she started walking up to her when she saw Duncan,Alejandro and Geoff walking towards Heather laughing. She felt her heart skip a beat at the sound of Duncan's laugh.
Courtney stopped and turned around. She was just gonna wait for her outside.
Courtney stood outside feeling her stomach ache. She really hoped she didn't have to see Duncan. Since it was Friday and a free week she wouldn't have to see him till next Monday . Which will help her get over her embarrassment and get back to her usual self.
She saw Heather come out on the phone and by the looks of things she didn't like what she was hearing.
Alejandro, Geoff and Duncan trailed behind her talking about God knows what.
"I already had plans! I don't want to today." Heather said clearly agitated. Once Heather got to Courtney, she looked at Courtney gesturing to the phone rolling to her eyes. " No I don't want to see that bottom feeder kate! That's not fair how I had plans and now I have to cancel them for that stupid bimbo." She said angrily which Courtney knew was her father. And she also knew Kate was her new step sister. They didn't get along at all.
"Ugh fine!" She hung up the phone.
She looked at Courtney reluctantly "I'm sorry Court my father is making go to dinner with his slut husband and her bimbo daughter. And I have to be there in 45 mins."
Courtney sighed. She was her only ride. Her parents were out for a conference in New York till wednesday. Bridgette was at softball practice and she was expecting Geoff to pick her up.
"It's fine but I don't have a ride now. " Courtney said, sighing and running her hand through her hair.
"Hey losers!" She whipped around and snapped at the 3 boys. Duncan rolled his eyes, Geoff smiled and Alejandro smirked.
"Can one of you give Courtney a ride home. I can't take her home. And it's dark out I don't want her by herself." She said as they were approaching.
Courtney turned to them immediately "no I'm fine I'll figure it out thank you though ." She said stubbornly.
The boys ignored her statement "I can take her home. I just have to make it fast so I can still wait for Bridgette and we had some plans.." Geoff said trailing off and they all knew what their "plans" were.
Courtney fought the urge to gag about the image that popped in her head at the thought of the two fu-.
ELCH can't even finish that thought.
"No geoff its fine stay here for bridge." She said checking her phone.
Alejandro and Duncan looked at each other and had an epiphany and shared an evil smirk.
"Sorry I can't give you a ride Señorita, I have to pick Jose up from the hospital." Alejandro said, lying like a pro.
"Ugh Duncan just drive her the fuck home I have 35 mins to get there." Heather said, feeling her annoyance building up.
Courtney's heart stopped for a second and she looked at Duncan who made eye contact with her. He smirked at her and she felt butterflies in her tummy. She did not like it.
"Yeah that's not happening." Courtney answered bluntly.
"Yes you are, I have to go now to text me when you get home." She said authoritatively then she kissed her cheek and rushed to her car. Leaving Courtney in a calamity.
Geoff caught on to the idea of what the boys were doing quickly improvised before Mocha changed her mind. " I'm gonna go wait by the gym bye mocha." He said walking off but tripping slightly in the process.
Courtney rolled her eyes.
"Bye Courtney see you soon" Alejandro said jogging to his sports car and leaving without giving Courtney a chance to object.
Wasn't like she was gonna ask him for a ride anyways. Heather liked him and she didn't feel comfortable getting into his car. Even if they were friends.
Courtney sighed frustratedly. She looked at Duncan who was looking at her with his keys. " I am not riding your barbaric motorcycle." She said folding her arms.
Duncan smirked. " I didn't bring my motorcycle today, nice try babe."
"Duncan, I'm walking home. It's only like a 30-45 minute walk. I'm fine. I don't need a ride from you. " she said then she started walking towards the direction of her house.
Duncan jogged in front of her and got in the way. " There's no way I'm letting you walk around after dark." Duncan said seriously. Courtney felt her heart flutter
Did he really care about her safety?
"Especially in that." He said letting his eyes scan up and down her body not even trying to hide it.
She squirmed under his gaze.
"I'm perfectly fine, I can handle myself. I have the highest belt in my karate class and I'm pretty high rank in boxing. I can handle it." She said stubbornly, trying desperately to get out the ride with Duncan. She didn't like the way he made her feel... Gooey and happy.
She tried to walk around him when Duncan grabbed her arm gently but firmly. She felt the spark run up her arm.
"I know you can handle yourself but this world is fucking crazy. And you gotta be out of my mind to think I'm gonna let you walk around at 8:30 at night." He said letting go of her arm folding his arms.
"Look I'm no-" she started but got cut off when Duncan picked her up and threw her over his back carrying her to his car.
"I- Duncan put me down!" She yelled at him angrily.
Duncan didn't answer, he just put her in his passenger seat, put her seatbelt on and closed the door.
She tried to open the door but he locked the door with his keys. He walked to the drivers side of the car and got in.
"Where do you live?" Duncan said.
Courtney thought how much time would she be able to run as far as she could in slides with a big duffel bag out the car.
Duncan read her mind " Run and I'd just get you again babe."
Courtney sighed she didn't even have the energy for anymore bullshitting. She just wanted to go home.
Courtney sighed and told him her address.
———————————————————————————
The car ride so far has been silent. And it was killing him. He needed to say something but he didn't know what to say. But there's something that has been nagging at the back of his mind.
"Do you like farm boy?" Duncan said breaking the silence. Courtney looked at him confused "farm boy? You mean Scott." She said wondering where this was coming from. She looked at Duncan for an answer and he just needed his head.
"No, I don't like him," she said, cringing at the thought.
She looked at Duncan and he looked relieved. Which confused the hell outta her.
Since Duncan threw a bomb like that he thought she would too.
" why'd you date Gwen?" She said so quietly that Duncan barely heard her.
Duncan sighed. " I was trying to ignore my feelings for y-... this girl and I liked Gwen but not in that exact way and I thought she'd help me get my mind off her." He shrugged.
Courtney couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. Of course He like Yvonne. She was tanned, tall and wild. Exactly his type she thought bitterly. Then at Gwen. Of course she was just like him. It had to be Yvonne especially how he said the first letter of her name.
Lucky bitch.
Courtney let her jealousy get the best of her and said " well you and Gwen looked horrible together." She said with a time of annoyance that Duncan picked up.
Duncan shot her a glance smirking slightly " why'd that? Think you should have taken her place?"
Courtney blushes immediately " No I just mean that y-you guys just didn't belong together." She said mentally kicking herself for how jealous she sounded.
"Well I guess we weren't but I already knew that." He said not elaborating.
"So was the girl you were trying to get over your ex?" She said trying to rule Yvonne out the list in her head.
Duncan snorted. "Like I'd give my ex's the time of day."
Another break of silence happened.
"You're really good at cheerleading," Duncan said.
Courtney blushes at the compliment. Usually If someone else said it she wouldn't have cared but feigned politeness and would say thanks but when Duncan says it it felt special.
"Well thanks. But it was hard to concentrate when you were eye raping me the whole time." Courtney said snarkly.
"Hey I can't help it you looked sexy in your outfit with that fuckable body of yours." Duncan said not looking embarrassed about what he said.
Hearing him say that made her get turned on.
Ugh get it together. You're just tired from practice. Snap out of it!!
"Perve." She muttered crossing her legs to stop the aching need between her legs.
...
The rest of the ride was silent until he pulled up in her driveway. He looked at her house. It was nice. Well very fucking nice. He thought he was impressed.
But he noticed there were no cars in the driveway or lights on in the house.
"Well thanks for the ride." She said opening his car door and walking up to her door picking up her keys out of her bag.
Duncan jogged up. "Are your parents home princess?"
" Don't call me that. And no why." She said unlocking her door walking in.
"When will they be back?" He said stepping in the doorway looking around for a second before fixating his gorgeous eyes on her.
"Soon." She lied.
Duncan knew she was lying. So he asked her again.
Courtney knew he wasn't buying it. He hated how he knew her so well.
She rolled her eyes "there in New York and not coming back till wednesday. " she said reluctantly.
"Well I'm staying with you." He said closing the door and walking upstairs.
"No you are not! Get back here!" She said annoyed walking upstairs. She would do more but she was too tired and exhausted.
She looked in her room to find him lying in her bed.
"Get up and get out!"
" no way babe I'm not leaving you here by yourself. " he said getting up walking around her room.
Courtney sighed. " I don't know why you're making such a big deal out of this. This isn't the first time they left me here by myself." She said annoyed.
Duncan went to her dresser and saw a picture of her, Heather and Bridgette smiling at the camera. They looked 10 years old.
Duncan smiled but quickly stopped catching himself. " Welp I guess this is gonna be the first time you have one of the hottest guys at your school keeping you company." He said sitting on the chair at her desk.
Courtney glared "you are not hot." She said knowing that she was lying.
"Whatever floats your boat babe."
Courtney was taking a shower thinking. She couldn't believe Duncan was in her house. She was excited and her hormones were going Wild. But she wasn't gonna let that happen, she was gonna control herself.
She turned off the shower wrapped a towel around her. She looked in the mirror.
Her usually straight hair was curly because of the water. She always flat ironed her hair. Her parents said she should only wear her hair straight cause she looks more professional.
Her curls went a little above her mid back. She sighed knowing she was gonna have to flat iron her hair. Again.
Then she looked at her dark purple towel. She never noticed how short it was till now.
She secretly wished he could see her in it. But then she started thinking.
he wouldn't like it I look like a chubby 4th grader
Why would he want to look at you? Your disgusting.
Get your head out the clouds YOU LOOK UGLY!
she sighed quickly pushed that thought away. She didn't care for his opinion anyways even though she was lying to herself. She looked for her underwear to change and couldn't find it.
Then she realized she was so busy trying to avoid Duncan that she forgot to get her underwear.
She inwardly screams at her stupidity. She knew what she had to do.
Cracked the door to her bathroom and looked around her room. "Duncan?" She called out then she heard the sounds of video games down stairs. She sighed and thanked her lucky stars for her cousins leaving their stupid video games here.
She went to her drawer looking at the underwear she should wear.
Boy shorts ? Thongs? Ugh definitely not wearing grannies
She found a cute black and white lace bra and panties set when the door opened "did you call me Princes-" Duncan walked in looking at his phone then looked up at Courtney to be shocked at the sight.
Courtney whipped around clutching her towel against her "Why did you come in here!?!" She yelled at him
"I- I- heard you call my name so I came up here and-" he said stuttering slightly from the view.
It wasn't that he didn't like it. Hell no. It was just he was so turned on. Her deep dark short purple towel went a few inches above mid thigh and her hair. He never saw her hair like that. He thought it looked hot. With drops of water running down her body. Fuck what he would do to-
"GET OUT!"she yelled louder, blushing violently embarrassed.
"Okay!" He exclaimed and quickly left the room and closed the door.
Courtney blushed and quickly put lotion on and got dressed. She put on a black tank top that was a crop top cause didn't want to get it caught on her piercing.
Then she put on black yoga pants with dark purple on the top.
She grabbed her brush and started brushing her curls to make it easier to flat iron later on. She put on her purple house shoes and reluctantly went downstairs to check on Duncan to see him with the front door open with money.
Then she saw 3 boxes of pizza and she then realized how hungry she was. The door closed and Duncan turned around seeing Courtney brushing her curly hair while deep in thought.
"I ordered you vitamin water cause I know how much you like that crap." He said putting the pizza boxes on the living room table.
"Uh no just take it to my room." She mumbled awkwardly averting his gaze.
Duncan shrugged, taking the pizza and Courtney's vitamin water upstairs to her room.
Courtney stood in the living room trying to recollect her thoughts. She took a deep breath and went upstairs.
They ate in silence. Duncan sensed that she was embarrassed about what happened before. But the silence once again was killing him.
"How come you don't wear your hair like that at school?" Duncan asked.
"I don't like it. And neither do my parents." Courtney said not elaborating.
Duncan debates whether or not to press the topic or leave it alone. He decided to press it.
"Why not? It makes you look hot." Duncan said.
Courtney hid her blush " my parents say that it makes me look unprofessional and how I should fit in with everyone else to go far in life." She said quietly.
Duncan stared at her for a second. " your parents are wrong. You don't need to fit in with everyone else. You were made to stand out. Your grades, your face, your body and now your hair. Plus your achievements. Everyone else hasn't got that much." He Said seriously.
Courtney couldn't hide her blush "why do you like it?"
"Well 1 it makes you look hot even though you look hot with your hair the other way. 2 your always so prim and proper. It just reminds me that deep down you have a bad girl waiting to get out." He said then eating his pizza.
Courtney rolled her eyes. "There is no bad girl "deep down" in me"
Duncan smirked "you sure about that? I'm sure I can bring it out?" He said seductively.
Courtney blushed harder "ugh shut up."
Courtney had a few things nagging in the back of her head.
" why'd you ask if I liked Scott?" She said curiously.
Duncan tensed up,which Courtney noticed.
" I don't like him." He said simply.
Courtney rolled her eyes.
What was bothering her the most was if for sure Yvonne was the girl he liked. She needed to find out without looking envious or jealous.
"What's the girl you like like?" She said, trying to sound casual.
She saw Duncan stiffing up again.
"Uh I don't know why?" He said, trying to avoid the topic. But Courtney wasn't letting up. " cause I just wanna know." She said like it was obvious.
Duncan sighed. "Well she's smart and tall. Funny and kind of a nerd." He said scratching the back of his neck.
Courtney fought the urge to scowl. He was describing Yvonne. "Is she tanned?" Courtney asked drinking her vitamin water but not eating a single slice of pizza.
"Yeah.." he said.
"Oh" she said annoyed.
Duncan noticed the shift in her mood and panicked. Did she figure out it was her and didn't feel the same?
Duncan was on his 2nd pizza when he realized Courtney hadn't eaten a single slice.
"Why aren't you eating?" He said
"Not hungry." She said simply.
"I haven't seen you eat all day?" he said, getting skeptical.
Courtney got annoyed because he was right. She hasn't eaten for 2 and a half days. It was probably the reason she was so tired and felt so weak at the end of practice.
She huffed " I did eat in.." she said quickly thinking of a period she didn't have Duncan in. "6th period." She said.
"So you ate in Mr.Walters class? I doubt it. He has a no eating rule and knowing the goody goody you are you're not gonna break it." He said
"Ugh just drop it okay!" She exclaimed, getting up and sitting in her bed.
"No eat some food"
"I just said I'm not hungry? What do you not understand, let it go." She said annoyed.
Duncan got her plate and put 3 slices of pizza on a plate and walked to her " either you tell me why you're not eating and still eat the pizza or you eat the pizza." He said seriously.
Courtney sighed and snatched the food from him and started eating to get him off her back. She inwardly groaned. It was so good she missed how it tasted.
She ate a slice and continued eating "happy?" She said annoyed.
"Very," Duncan said.
He got in her bed laying down next to her.
"Um what are you doing?." She said she was still annoyed from their previous conversation.
"Going to sleep."
"Not in my bed, go to the guest room across the hall. And don't steal anything!" She said annoyed.
Duncan rolled his eyes and got up.and went to the guest room.
2:45 Am
Duncan woke up to the sound of gagging and coughing. At first he ignored it but it just kept going. Then he realized something must be wrong. Duncan quickly got up and ran to her room and opened the bathroom door to find her with a finger in her mouth.
"Courtney what the hell are you doing!" He exclaimed. Courtney whirled around shocked. She made sure he was asleep before she came in here.
She turned around with her eyes watered with tears going down her face. "I-" Duncan didn't let her answer because he grabbed her and flushed the toilet. He took her to her bed.
They both were silent.
"Why Courtney?" He said
Courtney noticed the crack in his voice. "Why what." She said, trying not to cry.
" Courtney why the fuck are you purging? Don't you know how dangerous that is!?" He said, raising his voice with every other word.
"Yes I know how dangerous it is!" She said raising her voice as well and avoiding the question.
"Why Courtney. You have a nice body, you don't even need to be doing this shit. This ends today." He said going to her desk and getting more pizza.
"Duncan no I don't want to eat I'm gonna gain the weight please." She said
"Either you eat and stop this or I'm telling." He said with no hint of amusement. How serious he was kind of scared her.
Duncan gave her the plate of pizza. She looked at it. Then looked up at him "eat it Courtney. " he said again more firmly.
She started eating much to Duncan's relief.
"Courtney..." "I don't want to talk about it okay."
"Fine but you gotta promise me you won't do this anymore. or I tell" He said. One thing he knew about Courtney is that she always kept her promises.
She sighed frustratedly. "Fine Duncan." She said annoyed while putting the plate back on her desk. When she turned around Duncan hugged her hard.
"Please don't go down this road. Please." He said desperately.
Courtney was shocked at his voice. He sounded vulnerable like she'd just opened a wound that he was healing from.
"Okay" she whispered, hugging him back letting her guard down for this once.
...
Courtney lied in her bed deep in thought, she felt the other side of her bed shift. She almost forgot that Duncan refused to leave her room. She looked over to see him sitting down with his elbows on his knees,head in his hands.
She sighed.
"Duncan?
"Hmm?"
"Can you not tell anyone. Like keep this between us." She asked so quietly Duncan almost didn't hear her.
"I can do that if you don't starve yourself." Duncan said in a calm tone.
She nodded even though he wasn't looking.
It was quiet for a while. The tension was so thick Courtney felt like she couldn't breathe.
"Do you like Yvonne?" Duncan turned to her confused "huh?" "If you like Yvonne just say it. You said you liked her earlier and you almost said her name." She said rolling her eyes.
"Princess I don't like yvonne" he chuckled.
"If you don't like her then who do you like?"she said relieved he didn't like her rival.
Duncan thought for a moment.
Should I be bold? Wait no-wait yes. Sigh
"Hellooo?" Courtney said getting impatient.
Duncan chose to be bold and leaned forward and kissed Courtney on the lips leaving Courtney stunned but she swore she felt fireworks and a shock going from her lips to the rest of her body. Duncan got the same way.
Courtney wrapped her arm around his neck and deepened the kiss. Once again letting her guard down.
When they pulled away for air they were panting for air. "I like you Courtney. And I've liked you since pre-k." He said nervous but relieved he told someone besides Geoff and Alejandro.
Courtney couldn't hold the smile "Kindergarten.thats when I first kinda liked you and I thought something was wrong with me..." she said blushing.
She looked at his face to see a smile. Not a smirk or a cocky grin. No this was a genuine smile that took her breath away.
"Princess let me help heal you. Don't do this alone let me help you and be by your side.
okay?" He said, grabbing her hand.
"Okay." She said squeezing his hand.
:
I'm soooo sorry it was this long I really wasn't expecting for it to be this long. But I hope you liked it.
