After a too long hiatus I am back!
Not only have I revised and re-uploaded the story. I also have a new chapter!
Trent stood in front of the door to Courtney's hotel room waiting for him. He had on his green swim trunks and a white t-shirt. A couple minutes later Courtney came out sporting her signature gray boy-shorts bikini and a white t-shirt over her gray bikini top.
Trent smiled, "Hey Courtney we match!" Referring to the white t-shirt that both former contestants were wearing.
Courtney smiled, "Perfect! We'll catch more attention this way."
Trent rolled his eyes, "Whatever."
The pair walked down the hall towards the elevator. Once they were inside Trent spoke up.
"You know Court, I know that we're trying to carry out a plan and everything, but does that mean we can't really have fun with each other?"
Courtney looked at him weird, "What do you mean and where are you getting at?"
Trent shrugged, "Well like I actually think you're sort of cool. Sometimes you're really bossy but that's not the point. I know that going to the beach is a planned thing but do we have to treat it like a planned thing? Can we enjoy each other's company like we do when we're just hanging out in our room or do we have to fake it?"
Courtney thought about it. Trent had a point, and she would never say it to him but she actually thought he was pretty cool too.
"Of course we don't have to fake it Trent. The more genuine we act the more believable it is!"
Trent sighed. She kind of missed the point he was trying to make.
"Courtney, I understand you want to get back at Duncan, but our hangouts don't always have to be planned and we don't have to act like we like each other."
Courtney gave him a weird look.
He realized what he said. "As friends I mean!"
She rolled her eyes, "Whatever Trent."
They got off the elevator and started towards the beach. As they were walking Courtney looked at Trent. She secretly agreed with what he said earlier. They both knew the enjoyed each others company, why would their plan make them thing differently?
Cody, Harold, Noah and Owen were on the beach playing Frisbee. Noah tossed it to Cody who actually caught it.
"Man! It feels great to not have Sierra around." Cody said as he passed the Frisbee to Owen.
Owen caught it and tossed it to Harold as he spoke to Cody. "Don't you think you might have been a little harsh? I mean yeah she can be kind of creepy but dude! She made you cookies! Who passes down cookies?"
Harold looked at Cody. "Maybe you should talk to her later, did you see her when she ran out? I heard she cried the whole night."
Noah rolled his eyes. "She cries all the time!" He looked over to Cody. "Look man, I get where you're coming from. The girl is a total nut job. You finally got rid of your stalker."
Cody nervously chuckled. He didn't really know what to think. Despite her creepiness Sierra was a really sweet girl, and although Cody didn't want to admit it; she's a big reason why he got to the final three. Believe it or not there were times where she wasn't a crazy stalker. When both of them were on Cody's makeshift hot air balloon she acted pretty normal half of the time and Cody actually enjoyed that time together. She laughed at his jokes and was interested in what he had to say; which he appreciated because usually people don't listen to him. She just needed to learn the boundaries of personal space and maybe there could actually be a great friendship between them.
Harold threw the Frisbee to Noah, and although it was going towards him Noah didn't catch it. Harold aimed a little too high and the Frisbee went over Noah's head. A couple seconds later the boys heard a slight yell.
"Ow! What the hell?"
A tan boy with blonde hair walked up to them holding he Frisbee.
"Which one of you dweebs threw this?"
Harold raised his hand and walked over to grab the Frisbee. "Sorry man, aimed a little too high I guess."
Instead of handing Harold the Frisbee, the mystery boy threw it to the ground. "Yeah you aimed a little too high and hit my nose! See that mark right there!?" He pointed to his nose and Harold could see a little cut.
"Dude I'm sorry," Harold put his hands up a little defensively. He was scared what this guy might do to him.
The rest of the boys came over to try and diffuse the situation so they could get back to their game.
Cody looked at the guy, "Look he said he was sorry. It was an accident and in all honesty the scratch isn't that noticeable."
The guy scoffed at them, "Maybe not to ordinary people like you, but I'm Brody Pointer. Up and coming model for Albatross and Finch. I have a great future ahead of me."
Noah chuckled and crossed his arms, "Don't only complete d-bags shop at that store? I wonder what that says for the people that work for them."
Cody, Harold and Owen started laughing. Noah kept talking back to the Brody kid.
"And besides, we're not ordinary people! We happen to be famous cast mates for the Total Drama series."
Brody kept staring at them. "I knew I've seen you guys somewhere. You guys are so much more dorkier in person! In all honesty the series had like five maybe six interesting people. Everyone else was lame. Including you guys."
Cody, Harold, Noah and Owen were about ready to kick this guy's butt. But they knew that he could take all four of them down so they didn't even bother.
Brody turned around and walked away. "You losers better watch it. I'd love to stay and chat but unlike you guys I have a hot date waiting for me."
The boys glared at Brody as they watched him leave. Noah spoke up, "Well it seems like we met Justin 2.0"
Harold replied, "I can speak for my fellow drama brother and say that although he is a narcissist, he isn't as rude as the jerk."
Cody nodded in agreement, "I feel bad for the bimbo that has a date with him." He turned around and went to go grab the Frisbee. "Come on guys! Let's keep playing."
Owen followed Cody in pursuit but Harold and Noah still stood staring at the distance. Harold had wide eyes and Noah was trying to keep himself from laughing. Cody walked back over there. "Guys come on! What are you still staring at?"
With a smug look Noah pointed at two figures sitting on a beach towel talking. "That right there."
Cody turned to where Noah was pointing and saw Brody with his hot date. Wait, was that...?
"Sierra!?"
Courtney was laying on her beach chair reading a magazine. Courtney has been in that spot ever since they got to the beach while Trent went off to boogie board. She hasn't seen anyone from the cast yet, but she knew she just had to be patient. Someone who roll around eventually
"Um Courtney...?"
She looked up and saw Trent walking towards her.
"Courtney I have a little problem."
Courtney burst out laughing when she way the little purple octopus on top of Trent's head. Trent tried to yank off the creature on top of his head.
"This thing is really stuck on me! Courtney please help!"
"Oh shoot!" Courtney saw the struggle between Trent and the baby octopus and got up to help Trent. Both the teenagers kept pulling but the octopus refused to let go.
Courtney started pulling a little harder; beginning to hurt Trent in the process.
"How *yank* did *yank* this *yank* happen?"
"I don't...Ow...know. I was...Ow...underwater...Ow! and when I...Ow...came back up...Ow Courtney that really hurts!"
With one last final pull Courtney managed to get the octopus off her friend's head; however that last pull caused Trent to lose balanced and fall backwards into the sand. Not the mention all the yanking Courtney did gave Trent a headache.
"Aw man, my head..."
Courtney threw the octopus into the sand kneeled down next to Trent; actually concerned for him.
"Oh my god. Are you ok Trent?"
Trent blinked a few times and shook his head out. "I've been better. I'm really dizzy though."
Courtney put one of his arms over her shoulder and one of her arms around his waist. Pulling him up and helping him to his beach chair.
"Here, just stay like this for a little bit. I think I have migraine pills in my beach bag."
Trent looked at her as she rummaged through her bag, "Thanks Court."
Meanwhile, on another part of the beach during this time. Gwen, Duncan, Bridgette, Geoff, DJ, Leshawna, Izzy, and Tyler were about to start a volleyball game when they heard some screaming in the distance.
"Ow!"
All six turned and saw Courtney and Trent trying to get the octopus off his head. Duncan started laughing, "Man! I feel sorry for Elvis. He got that thing stuck on his head and his only help is Courtney."
Geoff looked bummed for Trent, "Dude man that's a Wallkystick octopus. They like to stick on human's heads while they're underwater. They're suction cups are like duct tape. My brother had one stuck on his neck last time we took a surfing trip. They are definitely not cool."
Duncan just stood there laughing. Geoff was telling Bridgette about the Wallkysticks, and everyone else ignored the situation and went back the volleyball net.
Gwen looked concerned. Courtney may hate both her and Duncan, but Gwen knew that her and Trent were still on ok-ish terms. "Guys maybe we should go help them."
Duncan kept laughing at Trent's situation, "No way babe, this is too good to watch."
Gwen shot her boyfriend a look but he just ignored it. Geoff shook his head, "Nah sorry brah, took me almost an hour to get that thing off of my brother."
"Ow Courtney that really hurts!" Gwen looked up and saw Trent fall to the ground. She started to walk off, "Guys seriously he could be hurt or something."
Bridgette grabbed Gwen's arm before she could get far. "Gwen I think Courtney's got it." The foursome kept watching as Courtney helped Trent up to his beach chair and got him some medicine. Despite the distance Gwen could see the thankful smile on Trent's face.
"Wow, I guess he's ok then."
Bridgette, Geoff and Gwen went back to rejoin the others and start their game. Duncan stayed behind for a bit and looked on.
Why is she spending so much time with that wannabe?
He watched as the two started talking. Trent seemed to be telling a story and Courtney was laughing.
Duncan shrugged and muttered, "Whatever, she's not my problem anymore."
Finally updated! Thank you so much to those still supporting this story. I hope this new chapter and the reupload made it worth it!
I would love any criticism you have to offer.
