No one likes dreams I guess.
I am in a somewhat cynical mood at the moment toward men in general so do not expect Duncan in this chapter unless you want to see his balls cut off with rusty jagged kid scissors.
This chapter is all about Courtney, thankfully. This is somewhat shorter than my normal chapters but I just wanted to get something out. Anyone have any idea on where the plot should go next?
Here we are at the park, it's about noon and there are nerds, geeks, the social rejects of the school all in one big circle. It's just them and Courtney, oh an Ayden too.
The Aviation Club, yes there is one in this school, is teaching Ayden how to do loop de loops on his remote control airplane and other tricks. The Aviation Club has about four members, all of which are gushing over Ayden's remote control airplane because it's the best model out there of some plane I do not know the name of, sorry.
But anyways, you are just in time to see Noah go over who exactly is in the army. You will be surprised at the list I was at least. Everyone is under a tree, a very big tree and the small playground is a good 25 feet away as the army assembles. Noah is at the trunk of the tree standing up while everyone sits down, excluding the Aviation Club and Ayden. Courtney is sitting right next to the trunk behind Noah a little and facing her army.
"So, Court, are you ready to meet everyone?" I ask.
"I guess," Courtney mumbles. Uh-oh, Courtney is down again. Crap, where is Trent when you need him! Courtney needs to look excited and enthusiastic or no one will think we can do this.
"So, here in the front is the Math Club, next to them the Chess Club, the Debate Team besides them, the Photo Club is behind them, right to the left of them is the Anime Club….
Sorry I got bored listening to him talk. In total, there are about one hundred and fifty nerds and geeks, that does include the absent band geeks, in this army, all surrounding Courtney at the moment, well, give or take a soldier or two. But the entire senior class nerds and geeks number to about 61, out of a class of 287. Depressing isn't it? The entire school numbers to about 1098 students. That is an average of 250 students per class. Small school huh?
Now you can imagine how Courtney must feel having about 15% of the entire student body backing her up. But Noah has a plan up his sleeve and it took so much time, effort, and math to come up with it that it makes my head hurt just telling you about it.
Noah wants to go on a spy mission. He wants to infiltrate every single aspect of the school in able to find out Duncan's every small weakness. And he wanted Courtney to drive Duncan crazy by acting like she wanted him. Now here is where I will stop and let us get back to the small little army around the Ice Queen.
"WHAT! Have you LOST your mind! What happened to being careful and cautious?" I exploded at my delirious best friend. Noah was looking me in the eyes and my "army" was looking at me with expectant eyes. The Debate Team had huge eyes waiting for a huge argument.
"Courtney, listen, you are the target. If we put him under false pretenses and act like he got what he wanted, he will be relaxed and won't bother us as we take over the school from the inside out," said Noah.
"I can't get my head wrapped around this! You want ME to be his girl toy so you can act like James Bond!" I want to wring Noah's neck or knock some sense into that boy.
"NO! Not his girl toy but make him crazy with desire that he will be so focused on you that the rest of us will be able to do what we please in able to take over his territory." The way Noah says it, it seems like it makes sense but I can only see Russell's lust filled teal eyes staring at me like I'm a piece of meat.
"And how do you plan for me to be so 'irresistible' or how to take over his turf?" Noah had better have a good solution to this or else I will kill him. The Math Club can find fourth member to join its competitions.
Noah smirked as he said, "Courtney meet Elsy."
This slutty dressed girl, with black straight hair, too much make up for my liking walked from behind the tree and in front of me. I wonder if she was there this entire time.
"Finally, I thought I would get wrinkles by the time you got to me. You spent like forever naming every nerd," this Elsy girl said. Yea I don't like her, or trust her. I don't think Noah does either because I can see how much he wants to slap her.
I get up and face her. I'm taller than her by a few inches. "So what do you have to say that's so important?"
She looked me straight in the eyes and said, " Duncan's plan to get you is too win you over is to act nice and make you believe he changed just for you. Once he's got you, then he'll dump you faster than anyone else he threw away."
I don't know why but for some reason I think she is telling the truth.
"Alright, what makes you think I would fall for that?" I asked because I know I would see through that act in an instance.
"Because you're the type to fall for it. If he makes you think that you really did change him for the better than you will fall for him. And I mean fall in love, not lust. You will feel that warm fuzzy feeling that you feel when you help someone and you will want to keep him and make sure he stays out of trouble and that's where he snares you," she says all this with a straight face.
"How do you know this? Wait. I don't want to know or need to. Just tell me how to avoid that." I really don't need to know how she got this information. She may have came up with this on the spot right now but I don't care because I am that type of girl. I need to prepare myself.
"Easy. You need to do something no other girl has ever done before. You need to make Duncan fall in love with you then dump him like the trashy man-whore he is," she says this with determination in her eyes.
"How?" I don't know if I could make him fall in love with me. What if I fall in love with him during the process like in my romance novels? Don't think that Courtney! You could never fall in love with that horrible player! Just remember all the poor girls he abused and how many hearts he broke. Just give him a taste if his own medicine rather than cut him out and let him chase you. You must go on the offensive. After all, the best defense is a good offense.
"I'll teach you. I know the weak spots on his body. What he loves girls to wear, what movements drive him crazy. I know his schedule back to front and how he gets to each class. What classes he skips, where he hangs out when he skips. I know everything. I'll make you his dream girl. Meet me tomorrow before school under that tree of yours," Elsy says this and then just walks away.
What the hell did I just agree with? Russell must have screwed this girl over bad if she is willing to go this far to break him. I guess it is true what they say about a women scorned. I really don't want to the person who pisses me off because if that girl can get like that when she is screwed over than I wonder what will happen to me.
I walk home in a daze. Ayden is just going on about how many new tricks he learned and what he did that day while I was talking with everyone. The rest of the day goes by fast as I finish homework, ignore e-mails, ignore texts, feed Ayden and Maxwell and just collapse on my bed.
I dreamt something, but I can't remember anything. It had a guitar in it and a wedding ring with a child in my arms… What the hell?
A little short but its something. What will the next bring? No, really what will happen 'cause I have no idea. Anyone want to give me ideas?
And EgoistaSince94, no Duncan does not die. I just don't like guys in general at the moment so that is why he isn't in this chapter. Sorry if that is confusing, I was a bit emotional when I wrote this chapter. Duncan is not dead and he will not be dead any time soon.
