Start of something new? Day Five: Part one
Flashback
Geordy picked me up at 6:45 and he gave me a blue corsage He is so sweet! Tonight is going to be the best night of my life. My mom took pictures of us until I was thoroughly embarrassed with her; I had to give her one of my rare death looks. Then we got into the car his mom was waiting in. He held the door open for me and was so polite.
"You look cute," he said with a smile that made my heart melt. "So do you," I managed to mumble out.
Once we got into the dance, I looked around the gym and all the girls stood with their ugly dress, mouths open looking like idiots, jealous of me and my date. My smile couldn't grow any bigger, as my prince lead me onto the dance floor, this is what I wanted, it thought. The song was slow and he was a good dancer. I could see Ashlee and Tiffany staring at me, probably jealous, I thought. The song had ended and he asked if we could break for awhile and get something to drink. He went off somewhere saying he needed to talk to some friends. He's so amazing, I thought, and I'm going to be sssssoooooo popular after this dance!
End Flashback
"Urmm…" I mumbled. I was on the cold, dirty floor of the mess hall and I guess I had been asleep. I could hear voices around me.
"Will she be okay?" said a worried voice, it was probably Lindsay talking. "I think so," said a deep, dreamy voice, definitely Justin's, "she didn't hit her head or anything. They say she was having a mental breakdown." I opened my eyes, and I could see Justin, Lindsay, Beth, Courtney, Duncan, Owen, and DJ standing around me. "Umm…Hello?" I said trying to get up but Courtney quickly pushed me back down.
"Heather, you need your rest!" Courtney said in a commanding voice. Suddenly Owen picked me up and hugged me so I couldn't breathe. He started sobbing, saying, "Oh Heather! I thought you were dying! Don't die on me!" he was wailing uncontrollable now and I was a little shocked. Why was he so concerned about me when I had barely spoken a word to him this season? And I was so mean to him last year. "Owen! She needs her rest! Dr. Lynn said she needed to be well rested!" Courtney shrieked. "Dr. Lynn is here?" I questioned, a little worried if they knew she was my therapist. "Yeah, do you know her?" the CIT questioned. "No!" I added a bit too quickly. Courtney lowered her eyes but just gave me a glass of water. "You need to drink this," she insisted. I gulped it down, I didn't realize how thirsty I was. It felt like I hadn't had water in years. I suddenly got very confused, I asked, "Umm…don't mean to be rude but why are you all here?"
"Well, I was helping take care of you because of my CIT skills, Duncan didn't want me to be alone with you, Lindsay said her, Justin, and Beth were your best friends here, Owen wouldn't stop crying, and DJ said he had to talk to you and that it couldn't wait," she finished with a sigh and went to go get me another glass of water. "How long was I asleep?" I asked.
"Nine hours," Beth said, "that doctor lady said it was common for people to pass out after a mental breakdown." (A/N: ok I'm sorry if this is medically incorrect but this is my story and I can do whatever I want! Muahahaha!) She was looking at me uneasily, like I might go crazy again. I wonder what the other campers are thinking, I bet LeShawna and Gwen will never let me live this down. The countless taunts I hear them saying to me inside my head, wait are those inner voices? Great, I thought, I think I'm going insane. Then I see Duncan eyeing me suspiciously. "What?" I finally asked. "Everything is too weird for me but I'm not leaving Princess with someone who is crazy and will chop her to bits," he whispered with a glare. Against my own will, I started to cry, I really had to start controlling my emotions or no one will take me seriously. Why was he being so mean? I didn't mean to go crazy! DJ looked at me then at Duncan, and picked the delinquent up by his shirt and said, "What did you say to Heather?!" Duncan looked a little shocked by DJ's protectiveness over me, he then added coolly, "Nothing man, just make sure old crazy over here," he gestured to me, "doesn't go on a physco rampage and kills us in our sleep." He quickly sprinted to the door, not wanting to feel the wrath of DJ.
"Stupid punk," he grumbled. That was weird, I didn't know he liked me that much. By this time, Courtney had come back and looked a little hurt that Duncan left without saying goodbye. I rolled my eyes, she has some serious love problems, I thought. Maybe I should tell her to grow a pair and admit her true feelings…but that would be mean, I said sarcastically in my head. Being nice sucks, since I can't tell anybody the truth.
"So can I go to bed now?" I asked my babysitter. "No you can't, Dr. Lynn said for me to take you to her tent as soon as you awoke. Which we are late for!" She said realizing she had made a mistake. Justin and Courtney escorted me to Dr. Lynn's tent. It was big and yellow and reminded me of a circus. Dr. Lynn came out and ushered the two escorts away. She smiled and invited me in.
"Don't worry Heather, I told Mr. McClean that if he used the footage of earlier today in the show that he would be sued for all he's worth and none of the campers suspect that you see me on a regular basis, and that I am just here for medical reasons," she said with a look of assurance. I sighed, but I had honestly not been thinking about those things, although I should have. "So is this a session or are you going to take me to a loony bin?" I asked with a smile. "No it wasn't as bad as you're thinking. You just simply lost control of your emotions for a little while, now what happened before you through the glass at the wall?"
"Well, Justin was talking and then he spilled some red punch on me," I said. Dr. Lynn looked momentarily confused until she remembered our previous sessions. "Do you want to talk about it?"
"Sure…" Then I started spilling my feelings and all those important things.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
45 minutes later I left Dr. Lynn's tent, and I was mentally exhausted. All I wanted to do was crawl in my bed and forget this whole day. As I was walking back to my cabin when someone grabbed me and pulled me behind a tree. I screamed bloody murder but someone put their hand over my mouth. "Ssshhh! Do you to wake the whole camp?" The deep voice belonged to DJ. I sighed with relief and asked "What do you want? I'm tired and I want to go to bed, so hurry up."
"You know what you said to me on the second day? Well I was thinking about it and… you were right."
"Oh really?" I cocked an eyebrow, he looked so cute admitting I was right.
"Yeah, really," he took a step towards me.
"So are you going to tell the others about Bunny?" I took a step towards him, we were really close at this point, our faces were just inches apart.
"Yeah, tomorrow after the challenge."
"That's really good bec—" I was cut off, because I found DJ's lips against mine. Whoa, he's a good kisser but this is moving way to fast. Although it doesn't hurt just to make out with him but then I'm using him. I don't want to be mean but I don't want to stop kissing him. Ugh! I'm so confused and it's only the fourth day!
I pulled away, he looked a little embarassed. "Sorry," he mumbled.
"Don't be,"
"So…umm…"
"Listen, DJ, I'm not looking for a relationship right now, I mean I just had a mental breakdown for God's sake! I'm still trying to figure myself out. I'm sorry" I felt kind of guilty, his face looked so heartbroken. I've breaked hearts before but this one hurts the most. "I'm sorry for kissing you," he walked away and punched a tree. Okay that was really dramatic.
Regular POV
"Hello! Chris McClean here! Last time on TDI the Killer Bass and the Screaming Gophers competed in a water race for ten flags. Let's just say, the Bass made a repeat of last season and voted off Ezekiel. Haha, he looked so shocked! Anyways, the campers had a few days off and they caused some drama! Heather, the head drama queen, apologized to Beth and made-out with DJ but she dumped him! Tsk tsk Heather, you really shouldn't cause a scene. Of course there was some making out with other couples, but Courtney gave Duncan no action! What will happen on another installment of TOTAL…DRAMA…ISLAND!

"All campers report to the theater after breakfast!" Chris said over the megaphone. Profanities and name calling could be heard throughout the cabins. Once everyone got dressed and ate the slop that Chef prepared, they headed to where the theatre was and saw the sadistic host standing in front of 21 pots with each of their own faces on it. "Today campers we will be playing a little game of archery and trivia.
"Finally, something that takes an actual brain,"
"Shut up Noah! This is my camera time. Anyway this time it's an individual challenge, where there will be no teams at all and only one person gets invincibility. Each camper will be asked a question about a fellow camper and if they answer correct, they get to try and knock out one of the other campers by shooting an arrow with a rock at the end trying to break the pots. The last camper standing will win invincibility. We will draw straws to see who goes first."
Confession Cam
Heather: I'm seriously worried because I know I still have some enemies here but luckily none of them are physically threatening…I think.
Gwen: Heather is going down and voted off. It's almost too easy!
Harold: I'm really glad I have good skills. I'm thinking about getting Duncan first. What an IDIOT!
"First up is…Cody! Ok who has 51 different nail polishes?" Chris asked. Noah looked really pissed since these weren't questions he actually knew the answer to.
"Definitely, Lindsay!" Cody said confidently.
"Ohh, sorry bro, its Gwen," everyone looked at Gwen, she just shrugged like it was no big deal. "Next is, Justin! Who has the highest IQ?" Justin held up a picture of Izzy. "Correct!"
"WHAT?!" Noah shouted. "THERE IS NO WAY THAT THE PHYSCO HAS A HIGHER IQ, THAN ME!" He was fuming, almost worse than Eva. Geoff whispered to Bridgette, "How would he know that?"
"Remember, they dated for awhile"
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." Justin then took a shot at Sadie's pot and broke it in two. "Sorry Sadie, but you have been knocked out." Chris said, Sadie was sobbing into Katie's arms while she glared at Justin. "I will get revenge for you Sadie don't worry," the BFFFL said. Katie went up to Chris, with a determined look on her face. "Ok Katie, how many campers have more than one piercing?" Katie was counting on her fingers, and looked worried that she would get the answer wrong. "Ummm…there's Duncan, Gwen, Lindsay, Heather, Me, and Sadie, so there's 6?" she was shaking nervously. "Correct! Good Job!" Katie quickly grabbed the bow and arrow and took out Justin's pot. "Take that, Justin!" Katie skipped to Sadie and they both squealed in victory. Courtney was next and walked up to Chris but Duncan smacked her butt so she kicked him in the place that the sun doesn't shine. "Haha, dude, bad idea! Anyway, Courtney, who is the most popular couple here?"
"Oh that's easy! Gwen and Trent!"
"Sorry but it's you and Duncan."
"WHAT?! WE'RE NOT EVEN GOING OUT! I'M GOING OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE!" Courtney looked so mad but Duncan was smiling like an idiot. Courtney stomped back to her spot still majorly pissed. Chris winked at the camera and continued. It eventually came down to five players remaining, Noah, Heather, Harold, Geoff, and Beth, it was Noah's turn. "Ok Noah, who has a secret collection of My Little Ponies?"
"What kind of question is that?" the know-it-all sneered.
"Just answer the question!"
"Umm…I don't know…Beth?"
"Close but its Owen," Chris smirked.
"How is that close?"
"Go sit down!" Chris said. Then Gwen asked, "Owen, why do you have a My Little Pony collection?"
"Because they're pretty!" Owen said. Everyone looked a little weirded out except for Izzy, she was turned on.
"Moving on, Harold! It's your turn, bro!"
"Bring it on!"
"Okay whose favorite color is purple?"
"Ummm…wait! I know this Eva!"
"Dude! That's correct!"
"Sweet!" he then shot his arrow at Geoff's pot and it shattered. "How did you know that?" Eva asked him. "You mentioned it once," Harold shrugged. Eva looked down and you could swear that she was smiling. "Sorry Geoff, but you're out!" Chris said. Geoff high-fived the rest of the players and went over to Bridgette. "Okay Beth, it's your turn! Who made out last night that is not a couple?" he was smirking proudly at his own evilness. Heather and DJ looked like they were going to pounce on the host and beat him to a pulp. "Heather, I'm so sorry but it was Heather and DJ," Beth looked apologetically at Heather who just merely shrugged. Everyone looked thoroughly shocked, hoping it wasn't true. "Correct! Beth grab your arrow!

Confession Cam
Geoff: (shaking his head in disapproval) No way man! DJ would never make out with that crazy bitch.
Heather: Chris you better sleep with one eye open! You will die!!!
DJ: (face in hands) I'm so embarrassed but I don't regret what I did. I just wish Heather would go out with me.
Justin: Why didn't Heather tell me she kissed DJ? I'm kind of jealous…I think.
All the campers(except Lindsay and Beth): EEWWWWW!!!!! DJ WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??????!!!
