I was so nervous about what Duncan had said to me yesterday 'You better watch your back 'cause I'm not bluffing.' That I asked mom to drive me to school, "Now why do you need to drive you to school?" I had to make up a lie because she didn't know what Duncan had said.

"Because, mom, I need to get to school early for an assignment that I forgot to finish," She let out a sigh, "Fine you win I'll let you take the car to school." Yes she fell for it. I don't know why people say I'm not a good liar. I got in, started the engine and in no time I was at school. I got out of the car and text Bridgette, 'hey bridge wher r u?'

'front of the schol y'

'just wondrin' I ran to the front of the school and, like she said, she was there. "Hey Bridgette! What's up?" I looked behind me to see if I was being followed.

"Nothing much. By the way, why did you text me?"

"Two words: Chemistry and Payback," She tilted her head to the side.

"But that's three words," I slapped my forehead.

"And doesn't count."

"Oh, so you're afraid of Duncan?" She said teasingly.

"Wouldn't you be? I mean just look at the guy! He's scary beyond all reasons." Just then I felt someone breathe down my neck; it gave me chills.

"Well Princess, talking about me behind my back, I'm very disappointed," I turned around and, speak of the devil, there was Duncan.

"Now why would you think that?" I turned around hoping he didn't see me blush, "I'm way better than that!"

"Aw, is the Princess blushing." He tried to turn me around but I quickly left.

"Oh sorry I have to get ready for class!" After that everything went along smoothly until I got to lunch. The intercom came on and everyone got silent, "Do you have Courtney Giver in there?" It was secretary and she was in serious 'somebody's trouble' voice, "The principal would like to see her." I heard a few gasps. I started choking on my sandwich and Leshawna patted my back.

"Oh crap girl what did you do?" I looked at her.

"That's what I'm wondering." One of the teachers yelled.

"Courtney! Mr. Burger wants to see you! Dump your tray and go!" I stood up sheepishly.

"Yes sir." I went to the trashcan and dumped my tray, then I went down to the office. "Mr. Burger wanted to see me." She looked up at me.

"Oh actually he doesn't Mr. Maggard does. He's in his room." I smiled.

"Thank you," Now I had to go all the way down to the other end of the hall, "Mr. Maggard? You wanted to see me." He looked up from his work.

"Ah yes Courtney. I need you to do something for me." I walked in front of his desk.

"Like what?" He had a bit of a pleading look to his eyes.

"Well first, you are signed up for the tutoring right?" I nodded, "Good, look I really need you to tutor someone for me. He's had trouble with my class last year and he really needs help with it."

"Okay, who is it?"

"Duncan Masterson." I started to whine.

"No, no, no, no anyone but Duncan! Please!"

"Please Courtney! He really needs it and aren't you a CIT." Damn it why do people always bring that up when I have to help someone I don't like?

"Fine!" I started for the door, "But for how long."

"I don't know it depends on how fast he learns the subject. Why?" I banged my head against the wall and muttered to myself.

"That will take forever," I looked back at Mr. Maggard, "Thanks a lot." I walked down the hall trying to find out how to explain this to my friends without getting them to laugh. I went through the cafeteria door and everything got silent. I walked to my friends, sat down and buried my face in arms, "I my life sucks," After that everyone got to talking again. Beth spat from across the table, "Why doeth your life thuck?"

"I have to tutor someone." I sat back up.

"Who do you have to tutor?" I pointed to the guy who causes most of my problems, but instead of showing sympathy they started to giggle.

"Come on guys! It's not funny!" Bridgette grabbed my shoulder.

"Oh lighten up, Court, we think it's funny…and romantic!" I hit her on the arm.

"How the hell is it romantic?!" She calmed down.

"Think about it. You and Duncan will probably be alone in the house, then you guys might start…'conversing'." I looked over to Duncan who was already watching me be tortured, and then he winked at me. The nerve of that guy! I bet he set this whole thing up and he's hoping that I cave into him. Well I've got news for him, it's not going to happen! Just then the bell rang, and now I'm an hour closer to be at Duncan's house tutoring him college algebra.

A/N: Oooooh…now Duncan's probably going to get hurt. I know I sorta kinda made Bridgette sound like Lindsay in her first physical appearance but oh well. I'll continue the story tomorrow, or tonight I promise. For now I must go 'cause I really love Three Days Grace! Review!!
