Denial

(No one's POV)

It was obvious that she was in denial. I mean, everyone thought so. Chris, Chef, all the competing campers, and the ones voted out, the viewers, even her own parents thought so. It was obvious to everyone, but to her it seemed, or at least that's the way she acted. Courtney, the big-mouthed, bossy camp CIT had it bad for the notorious bad boy Duncan, but why was it that she couldn't admit it to others?

It was a Tuesday, or was it Wednesday by now? It was so hard to keep track of the days that came and went since there was no school or various activities to fill it. Courtney had just waken up to a surprisingly quiet Bass cabin. This came as a shock to her since Katie had been voted off the night before leaving her BFFFL, Sadie to be in tears weeping from the second Katie stepped off the dock giving Courtney, along with every other Bass member unimaginable migraines. It took Courtney hours to finally tune out Sadie's crying, and fall into a very unpleasant slumber.

Wiping the sleep from her eyes she noticed a stray note lying on the mattress beside her. It read:

Court,

Went to the beach with the rest of the team. When you wake up feel free to join.

-Bridge

Courtney smiled to herself. Spending the day at the beach would relieve her stress from the previous challenge, and well, just about every other think that had to do with this ridiculous show. She hoped off the top bunk and walked over to the rotting wooded dressers picking out my swim suit, and throwing it on making her way to the cabin door.

The sun shined once again on another hellish day at Camp Wawanakwa, and for some reason Courtney couldn't be any happier. She nearly skipped passing the mess hall, and humming what ever song first came to mind. It was out of her character to be so...so...relaxed, and she couldn't enjoy it more that is until she reached the beach where everyone of her team mates inhabited including Duncan, who was currently in the water drowning the completely annoying yet helpless Harold. Oh no! There was no way she could or would possibly put up with him on her day off.

"Hey Court," Bridgette greeted getting up from her beach towel, and walking towards her friend. "I see you finally decided to get-uh, hey, are you alright? You look kinda peeved."

"No one told me he was going to be here." Courtney explained pointing in the direction of the bad boy now burst into laughter at Harold who was on the shoreline gasping for air. Courtney rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, well, what did you expect for him to stay behind while we all chilled without him?"

"I would have preferred it..." She mumbled.

"Ha, well, you can tell him that." The surfer girl teased.

"Oh, trust me I think I just will." Courtney huffed.

"Tell me what?" A deep, smooth voice said from behind her. Courtney quickly turned around. "Please Princess, I'm all ears." He smirked down at her.

Okay, in her head it was totally acceptable for Courtney to admit he was really hot. He stood there in front of her shirtless with his arms crossed exaggerating on how built they were, his six-pack nearly glowing due to the beach water beating down his bare skin, his hair laid limp partly over his eyes making the teal in them stand out, and the smug expression that was plastered across his face couldn't be any sexier with his pearly white teeth flashing down at her. It took another response from him to snap Courtney out of her admiring gaze.

"Hey Princess I get it, it's hard to not check this," he said showcasing his body. "out, but you should be able to contain yourself long enough to answer my simple question."

Annoyed that he would have the audacity to speak to her that way, and a bit embarrassed that he caught her staring, Courtney furrowed her eyes before responding. "Good one Duncan," she spat his name. "but you'd only wish that I would be checking you out!" She nearly yelled catching everyone's attention.

"Which you were..." he pointed out raising an eyebrow showing that he was amused.

"Oh, I so was not!" She argued furrowing her brows.

"Mhmm, whatever Princess, everyone already knows you dig me." He said before walking back towards the water.

"I-ughh!" She screamed raising her hands above her head stomping off towards Bridgette. "You see," she told her friend. "this is what happens when he shows up!" In response all Bridgette could do was giggle at her friend in denial.

"Okay, Courtney, you're right." She agreed so she could continue to enjoy basking in the sun without having to hear Courtney go on about her secret crush.

Arms crossed, and still slightly annoyed Courtney glared into the trashed filled water at Duncan creeping up behind Harold, and pantsing him receiving gut busting laughs from Geoff, Tyler, and even DJ, and a few 'ews' from the girls. Shocked, Harold spat some sort of profanity at Duncan before quickly pulling up his pants, and running out of the water back to the cabins.

Courtney sat there, and for some reason couldn't help, but crack up at the sight of Harold being humiliated yet again obtaining wide, pleasant smile from Duncan that she couldn't help, but to return.

A/N: Letter D down. Phew, does anyone have any ideas for E cause...I'm stuck.
