Revenge
Summary: Duncan breaks up with Kayla (OC) for Courtney, and Kayla's family moves to England for her junior year. She comes back during the summer before senior year and finds out about everything that happened when she was gone, including TDI and TDA. When Duncan and Courtney return, Kayla decides to get revenge on her ex and his girlfriend. She didn't plan on falling in love though. T-M, for language, citrusy situations, and straight up citrus.
Ch. 2: I Can Explain
Duncan PoV
I'm waiting for Kayla to come so we can talk, but she isn't here. I keep thinking that she's having car trouble, but I can't be sure. Crap, here comes Courtney. Hopefully Kayla doesn't catch me talking to her...Wait, I'm single, so I can talk to her, if Kayla doesn't kill us first.
"Hi Duncan!"
"Hey Courtney. How goes it?"
"Good. How are you?"
"I'm...good." Courtney starts rocking back and forth awkwardly.
"So, I was thinking, and I decided that I'll accept your offer." What offer- Dammit, the dinner invite!
"That's good. So when would you like to? Go out for dinner, I mean."
"How about this Friday?" Friday, Friday, I know I have to do something Friday...The softball game.
"I can't. I gotta go to a softball game, and then I have to organize a surprise homecoming party for my cousin."
"Oh. How about Saturday?"
"I don't have anything Saturday night. Is 8:30 all right?"
"Yeah, so I guess it's a date! See you Saturday."
"Saturday.." I don't know why, but I feel like something bad just happened...

Great. They're already together. I should've known better, but I guess this was all a plot to make me jealous. What they don't know is that I've got an ace up my sleeve, and his name is-Oh God, here comes Duncan.
"Hey."
"Hi. I see that you were convening with your girlfriend." Duncan reaches up to scratch his head, a move that I know means that he's nervous.
"Yeah, about that, she's not my girlfriend. Yet," he adds hastily, to try to cover his tracks. "We're going out on Saturday."
"That's good. You still coming to the game Friday, or are you procrastinating on Damon's party again?" This feels like old times, but with her in the picture, it won't be.
"Ha ha. I'm gonna put the finishing touches on the plan later. Who's picking him up anyway? My parents are gonna be out of town all week for the police convention in Trenton, so that leaves either me, you, Andy, Axe, or Demy. I can't go, because I'm setting up."
"I've got practice and we're getting let out maybe 15 minutes before the party, but that's no t enough time for me to get home, get the car ready, and stash my stuff before Damon gets into my car. Andy's gotta give a guitar lesson at 7, and won't get back until maybe 8:30. That leaves Axe and Demy....who don't have cars." Duncan hits himself in the head.
"Then we leave him to a taxi driver, who can't stall him as much as we can? That can't be possible. We gotta have somebody else- Wait, is Bridgette coming?"
"I guess, but she has a Prius."
"So?" This guy is a mechanic and he doesn't know how small a Prius is?
"Priuses are tiny and I honestly doubt Damon will be able to fit his seven suitcases in a freaking PRIUS!"
"Gwen?"
"According to her parents, she's not gonna be here. Something about a concert."
"Oh yeah, they're dragging her and her brother to some orchestra-rock band thing. We only have one more option.."
"Oh God, Duncan, not her! She wasn't invited and she isn't your girlfriend yet!"
"How about your elusive new boyfriend?" I hoped he wouldn't bring the boy into this, but he did.
"Fine, I'll ask. He was invited already, so he'll be fine. But he's a senior, so I doubt he'll make it in time."
"You're with a senior? You liar, you."
"No. I'm completely serious. You know him, soccer boy and all that." Dammit, I gave it away!! What is wrong with me?!
Duncan's jaw pretty much touches the floor. "You're letting M tap it? You're that selective?"
"Shut up! He didn't want anyone to know! Don't tell anyone!"
"I won't. Ex-Scout's honor, and all that." I laughed as he raised the three fingers for the Scout's Honor symbol and lowered his pointer and ring fingers, leaving the middle one raised.
"I hate you so much sometimes."
"That's what best friends are for, right?" I hate that grin sometimes. It's like how people describe Edward's smile in that sorry excuse for a novel entitled Twilight: all crooked and "dazzling" and whatnot.
"Shove it. I'm going. I need to ask Mars if he can pick up your cousin."
"Goodbye, my dear ex-girlfriend."
"Goodbye, d-bag." I hope Mars isn't the jealous type. Please don't be....

So Kayla's with her ex-band buddy. It's been almost 2 years since they seriously hung out, and I have no idea how they hooked up so fast if it's been that long. I guess Kayla's my past, and now Courtney's my present.
It doesn't matter to me now. I loved Kayla. but it's over between us. Mainly because of me, but it's over now. I have my regrets, but they're slight. And I'm interested in Courtney now.
But I have this nagging feeling that something isn't right about what I did, besides the fact that I shouldn't have broken up with her in a text. I feel like we should still be together, but I can't change that now. We can't get back together now. I'm going on a date with Courtney on Saturday, and Kayla's with him.
If only I hadn't broken up with her....Now everything that was stable in my life has now come undone.
And I guess now I'm becoming an emo. Bring on the razor blades and iodine.
Speaking of emo, I just got a text from Damon. Hmm, I wonder why.
Did you talk to her or not? Did you explain everything? If you didn't, I'm going to kill you. Typical Damon, with his impeccable grammar and all that.
i talked to her, but she didnt want a serious talk. idk y tho. maybe she wants 2 b broken up.
No girl wants to be broken up with. She'd want to break up with you if anything.
u do know tht k's not a normal girl, right?
Yeah, yeah, she's like one of the guys, but really, just try to get a serious talk in between all that friendly banter. Gotta go, class is starting.
and u wouldn't want 2 miss it. c u soon man, we'll be expectin u. Damon is such a nerd sometimes. I would hate him if he wasn't so awesome, though.
Time for....math. Fucking Algebra 2. Worst fucking class in the world. Time for me to show off my stupidity. Yay.
Next chapter will be the time I reveal MK/Mars. So be patient and review.
