Chapter Three

The Drama Brothers and their groupies were eating some of DJ's sandwiches. Cody was extremely satisfied with his sandwich and moaned in delight.

"DJ you make the best food in the whole world. You seriously need to open up a restaurant."

"Yeah Deej, it's really good." Katie said taking a bite.

"Oh my gosh I was thinking the same thing." Sadie exclaimed.

"Me too! We are totally in unity, or whatever." Katie squealed.

Noah rolled his eyes at Katie and Sadie. "As much as I enjoy watching these two talk about how much they have in common, I think I'll get a drink." He walked over to the cooler, and was disappointed when he saw the only drinks available were all alcohol.

Another plane was heard flying above their heads. Cody looked up. "It's another military plane." Cody said.

"Strange, that's like the ninth one today." Harold complained.

"Speaking of strange things, where's Sierra and Izzy?" Noah asked.

Izzy lept from a tree and in front of Noah. "Did someone call for E-Scope?" She cheerfully asked.

"Is E-Scope the new alter ego the week? At least she better than Explosivo?" Noah said in a monotone voice.

"Is Explosivo the one that's smart?" Justin asked.

"No that's E-Scope." DJ corrected.

"No that's Branzilla." Katie corrected DJ's correction.

"Then who's the one that blew up my hair dryer?" Sadie asked.

"Explosivo." DJ said.

"And who's the personality that's crazy?" Sadie asked.

"That's just plain Izzy." Noah said.

Sierra appeared and sat right next to Cody. She snuggled up to him which creeped him out. "Oh Codykins, it's so nice for the two of us to be out here all by ourselves." She said in a sweet voice.

"You do know there are 21 other people here right?" Noah said.

"Can it Noah." Sierra said angrily, then put on a happy face for Cody.

"Isn't this romantic?" Sierra asked.

Cody shrugged nervously. "Yeah I guess."

He wasn't really sure why Sierra liked him, but Cody would never like her. She was cute, but he had a crush on someone else. Gwen, the most beautiful girl in the world. He thought of the first time he met Gwen.

Fourteen year old Cody sat in his bed reading a magazine. He was home by himself and as bored out of his mind. He tried having a snack (two big macs), he tried watching some family movies (porn), he did some homework (he got the answers online), he even studied for his test (he read two pages of the book and took a nap.)

Cody was running out of things to do. Then a loud clatter was heard. Another one. Someone was knocking on the window. He picked up his baseball bat, and walked over to the window slowly. He tried to put on his best intimidating look. He checked in the mirror and was satisfied. He walked over to the window and was shocked to see a pretty girl.

She had pale skin and long black hair with teal streaks. "Hurry let me in!" She yelled in a quiet voice. Cody followed her instructions and let her in. She quickly leaped in the window and ducked behind the wall. Several police sirens were heard.

"Who the hell are you?"

"My name is Gwen." She held out her hand for him to shake.

He reluctantly took it. "My name's Cody."

XXX

Ever since that day when he was hiding her from the cops, Cody always loved Gwen. Unfortunately she liked Trent.

"So Codykins, why don't you and I head out to the woods. Would be romantic, wouldn't it? Just the two of us? We could have a picnic, it would be lovely." Sierra said.

"A date with your stalker, what could go wrong?" Noah said sarcastically.

"I said shut up Noah!" Sierra hissed.

Cody shrugged. "I guess so."

Maybe it was time to get over Gwen.

Heather angrily stared at Alejandro flirting with other girls. She sat in a beach chair trying to get a tan , next to her was her friend Lindsay.

"You know Hannah, you would feel a lot better if you told Albert how you felt." Lindsay felt.

Heather was so upset, that she didn't even complain about LIndsay getting her name wrong.

"I'm not upset about Alejandro, and I have NO feeling for him whatsoever." Heather said.

"Besided Alejandro hasn't attempted to form a relationship since New Year's." Heather stated.

The blond look puzzled. "Why did you guys break up in the first place."

XXX

It was Geoff's New Year's Party, and Alejandro and Heather isolated themselves from everyone else. The two lied tangled in bed and completely naked. Alejandro laughed.

"Wow Heather, I never knew you were so good in bed." He said.

Heather rolled over and kissed him. "Not as good as you, you latin devil."

They laughed. It was strange to them. They were the most hated people in school. People thought they were heartless, yet they managed to find love in each other. Two wrongs actually do make a right. Alejandro decided to make his move.

"You know Heather I really enjoy spending time with you." He said.

Heather blushed, which was something she didn't do a lot. "Thanks. You're fun yourself. I haven't had a good lay since Trent. And he decided to dump me for that loser goth girl." Heather said.

"Heather I was thinking… what if we became serious. Like boyfriend and girlfriend. Instead of just enemies with benefits." He said.

Heather laughed because she thought he was joking. "That's funny. You being in a serious relationship. Ha ha ha. You're the biggest womanizer in Canada. Like people like us could date. You're so funny Alejandro." She said giggling.

Alejandro was hurt and got out of bed. He put on his boxers and started to dress himself. Heather was confused on what was going on. They just had awesome sex and now he wanted to leave? Strange.

"Where are you going Alejandro?" She asked.

"Why do you care?" He said bitterly. He was hurt by her rejection and the fact that she laughed at him. He was the ALRJANDRO BURRMENTO, no one turns him down.

"If what we have is just a joke to you, then I'll leave. Good bye chica." He left angrily.

Heather frowned and was hurt that Alejandro walked out on her.

XXX

"The reason we broke up is irrelevant." Heather snapped.

"You know Heather, Bridgette told me he really missed you. At least that's what she told me he said after they had sex." Lindsay said dumbly.

Heather stopped. She turned towards Lindsay. "What the hell did you say?"

"That he missed you?" Lindsay said.

"No you idiot! After that!" Heather yelled.

"Oh you mean when Becky and Albert had sex." Lindsay said, accidently getting their names wrong.

Heather frowned. "Bridgette and Geoff have been dating since seventh grade, and Alejandro didn't move here until junior year… that means Bridgette cheated on Geoff." Heather said with an evil cackle.

"I guess Bree did. Don't tell Alan or Greg would be upset." Lindsay said getting their names wrong again.

Heather grinned. She had a brilliant idea.

Duncan was searching everywhere for Courtney. He looked in trees and caves, nothing. Duncan was starting to wish he didn't pick a fight with her. Duncan would never admit it but he had a crush on her. Of course he knew it would never work out. They came from two different worlds. That was one of the main reasons why all they do is insult each other.

"Courtney! Where are you!" He called out.

No answer.

"This is hopeless." He muttered.

"Courtney I swear I'll be here all night until you show yourself!" He called.

He heard sniffling. He turned over to rock and quickly went to see what was behind it. There sat a crying Courtney she looked at him with hatred in her eyes.

"What do you want Duncan? Want to make fun of me some more?" She hissed.

"Why are you crying?" He asked.

Courtney wiped her tears and glared at him. Duncan found it weird how her glares turned him on.

"Why do you care? Are just going to call me a bitch again?" She said.

He knew something was wrong. Courtney wasn't the type of person who got hurt easily.

"We insult each other all the time, but I've never seen you act like this." He said.

Courtney looked at him sadly. "Do you really want to hear the whole story."

He nodded.

"When I was younger my mom was diagnosed with a mental disorder. People told my father she shouldn't be around kids, but he didn't listen. He loved her to much. My mother started to go crazy. She would beat me whenever I got bad grades or made an error."

Courtney lifted up her shirt to show a large pink scar on her stomach just below her belly button.

"This is what happened when I got a B." Courtney said glumly.

It all made sense. The reason why she wanted to be so perfect, was because those beliefs were beaten into her. The reason why she got emotional when he yelled at her. Everything started to fit in place.

Courtney put her shirt back down. "Now you know my secret." She said.

"You're not the only ones with bad parents." Duncan said.

Courtney frowned at him. "I highly doubt that your backstory is sadder than mine." She said.

Duncan laughed. "How much you want to bet Princess?"

"When I was in middle school I started to become rebellious. My parents were both cops and I wanted to separate myself from them. I started to vandalize things and skip school. My parents thought I was out of control. So they told me we would go on a family trip. I fell asleep on the ride and the next thing I know I'm wearing an orange jumpsuit and in juvie." He said.

"Your own parents delivered to jail." She said surprised.

He laughed sadly. "That's not all they pulled some strings for me to get a longer sentence so that I would learn my lesson. The things that happened to me in there was...horrifying. I was mole-, forget it I can't even say it. I told my parents when I came back. They didn't care. They said I deserved to get moles-, I still can't say it, they said no son of theirs would be a delinquent and that I would understand one day. My own parents didn't even care that I was raped. That's why I put on a hard shell. I was damaged just like you." He said.

Courtney was shocked.

"Wow, adults suck." She said.

He laughed. "Do you want to know when I first noticed you?" He asked.

Courtney shrugged. She was curious, out of all the girls why did Duncan seem to be attracted to her?

"Remember back in junior year." He said.

Duncan sat in detention. He didn't remember what he was in for. Nor did he care. But he was hungry. He was in there for three hours, and he hadn't had lunch or breakfast. The door opened. A latina girl with light brown hair walked in.

Duncan her as the teacher's aid. She reached into her lunch box and handed him a piece of her sandwich. She whispered in his ear.

"I saw how long you were in here for. I figured you might be hungry." She said.

"Thank you." He quickly wolfed it down before a teacher could notice. Courtney then pulled Duncan in close and harshly whispered/yelled in his ear. "If you tell anyone I broke the rules I will skin you alive." She hissed.

"Sassy, my kind of woman." Duncan said grinning.

Courtney blushed, but quickly rolled her eyes. "Pig." She walked away.

"Mr. Homer I'm done organizing the book. Do you want any other help."

"No Courtney that will be all thank you."

Duncan watched the girl exit the room.

"I'm totally gonna have her bed by the end of this year." He said grinning to himself.

XXX

"That's when you got a crush on me? When I gave you a piece of my sandwich?" She asked.

Duncan quickly got up. "I never said I had a crush on you."

Courtney laughed. "You know Duncan if you asked me on a date properly I might just say ye-" She was cut off by a loud explosion.

About four military planes started to fall out the sky. One of them hit the ground and exploded sending shrapnel everywhere. Duncan pushed her on the ground as a nearby tree collapsed in front of them.

"Courtney run!" He yelled.

The two took off in a quick sprint. A nearby explosion went off. The impact caused the two to fly forwards. Courtney hit against the cave wall and rolled on the ground. She was unconscious. Duncan ran over to her just as another plane fell.

"Somebody help! Somebody help!"

Dun Dun. Suspense! For all of you who don't know the scene with Courtney and Duncan was based off the episode Basic Straining
