Hi!
Okay, so I was reading the reviews I got and I was surprised.
I didn't think that many people would like my story.
So I just wanna say thank-you
Also if I used any of your names in this chapter I did not know and I will gladly change them if you wish me to.
I would like to dedicate this chapter to epicangel15, my first reviewer.
And now, without further delay, I give you;
Chapter one of 'What's love got to do with it?'
Disclaimer: I do not own Total Drama Island, Courtney, Duncan, or anybody in this story except for a few OCs that I shall add later on.
What's love got to do with it?
Chapter One: Of Delinquents and 'A's
Courtney woke up with a startled yell as the alarm clock she had started beeping really loudly, Courtney grumbled and turned the alarm off.
As she sat up and stretched, she saw the paper she had been working on last night, she checked over it one more time before she was fully satisfied.
After she had fully woken up, Courtney got up and went to go take a shower, she sighed in exasperation when she realized that her older brother was still in there, "hurry up! I have to leave for school soon!" Courtney called out to her brother, she heard no response and she walked off grumbling.
She went back into her room and waited for him to finish up, as soon as she heard the water shut off, she headed back towards the bathroom.
Her brother nowhere in sight, she walked into the bathroom and started the water for her shower.
Courtney brushed her teeth quickly, but thoroughly and stepped into the shower. After a good ten minutes of relaxing, she got out and grabbed a towel.
Courtney headed back towards her room and started to pick out her outfit for the day. Obviously she was going to wear the same thing she had worn every other day of the week; her grey blouse with her olive green Capri's, along with her brown sandals of course.
Courtney smiled as she brushed her short, mocha colored hair until it hung just right.
She looked herself over in the mirror and smiled; she grabbed her paper, a book bag, and headed off towards the high school.
Her high school was only a 5 minute walk away from her house, as she walked there, she noticed that the usually vacant house across the street from her had movers vans in front of it.
looks like someone new is going to move in. Cool! New friend! Hope they're smart…
Courtney grinned to herself and walked off to school after speculating who the new neighbors could be.
She soon reached school and walked inside the dull grey building; she went over to her neat and perfectly organized locker and stashed her book bag inside on it's hook, along with her project.
After she had closed and locked her locker, she headed off to home room. Her home room teacher, Mr. Ketchall, was one of her favorite teachers. Soon after she sat down, the other students started coming in, Courtney could see her friends coming in as well, there was Gwen the Goth, Bridgette the Surfer, LeShawna the Ghetto gal, Geoff the Party Animal, and Trent the Musician. Courtney waved to Bridgette as soon as she entered home room, Bridgette waved back and sat in front of her, the seat next to Courtney, was empty.
Courtney and Bridgette immediately started up a conversation and were talking about all sorts of things; hair, clothes, makeup, school, projects, politics (this one was Courtneys!), even boys occasionally, Courtney soon remembered the mover vans, "hey Bridge, I saw some mover vans outside the house across the street from us. That means we might have a new student today!" Courtney said to her friend eagerly, "really? Awesome! Maybe they'll be a guy, you need a boyfriend." Bridgette teased her close friend, Courtney scoffed, "yeah right. As if. I do not need a boyfriend." "Whatever you say Court." Bridgette sighed.
A few seconds after our conversation had ended, the first bell rang; that was the cue for tons of students to start scrambling towards their home rooms. As if it was controlled by magic, tons of students started piling into the home room, none of them occupying the seat next to me, as soon as all of the seats but one (the one next to me) was filled, the second bell rang and everyone (including me) let out a sigh of relief.
Mr. Ketchall took out a sheet of paper and started calling roll call, "Gwendolyn Abolone?" He called out, "here." Gwen said, almost lazily, "Isabell Burns?" Mr. Ketchall called out, almost nervously, "My new name is Kaleidoscope, Mr. Ketchall." Izzy/Kaleidoscope said to him. The rest of the roll call ensued, right after he called out my name, Courtney LeVonge (AN: Pronounced La-Vo-nge), a boy came in. Ugh, I can see was he was late. Piercings all over his face, a Mohawk, and if that wasn't enough, the Mohawk was GREEN! It all just screamed; Delinquent. Ugh could this get any worse?
"Sorry I'm late Mr. um Ketchall." The boy said in an indifferent tone, "I got lost and the movers didn't finish unpacking until just about 10 minutes ago." Ugh, I could tell he was lying, "okay then, you may be excused from being tardy, but just for today. Class, this is Duncan Halloway. Duncan you may sit, hmmm, over there by Courtney." Mr. Ketchall said to Duncan, my eyes widened as Mr. Ketchall said his name. No, could it be? I looked at Duncan closer and saw his eyes, a shocking shade of teal, just like his...
But he's all punk, there's no way it can really be Duncan. Just someone with the same name
But the eyes, the name, the hair, I mean; it can't really be naturally green.
Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong. You'll just have to find out.
Duncan sauntered over to me, smirking as he did so. He noticed me staring at him, "like what you see?" He said, wiggling his, um, eyebrow suggestively.
Okay now I know there is no way this is Duncan.
What a Neanderthal.
I wrinkled my nose in disgust, "ew. No, you just, reminded me of someone." I scoffed, turning my head away from him.
I couldn't wait for home room to be over so I could get away from this Neanderthal, ugh, he disgusts me.
Not long after the teacher finished roll call, the bell rang, signaling students to get to their first period.
"One moment please, Courtney." I heard Mr. Ketchall call out to me as I was just about to leave the room, I saw Duncan by his desk, "yes Mr. Ketchall?" I asked him politely, walking over to his desk, "since you are a straight 'A' student, could you please show Duncan around the school today? Turns out that he has the same schedule as you do, so it should be easy. Just show him where each of his classes are." Mr Ketchall said to me, I immediately frowned, "c'mon, it'll be fun Princess." Princess? He called me Princess? Oh I'll show him... "will do Mr. Ketchall." I said, smiling brightly, "thank you Courtney. This means a lot." Mr. Ketchall said to me.
As soon as we walked out of the room Duncan turned to me, "so, what's our first class?" He asked me, staring at me with those familiar looking teal eyes, "first we have Biology." I told him, heading off towards my locker. He followed, "why are you following me?" I asked him in confusion, "one; because you're hot, two; because my locker is right next to yours." Duncan replied, smirking.
I rolled my eyes and opened up my locker, I took out my book bag, my books, and my paper on muscles, not noticing that Duncan was watching my every move. I closed my locker and walked off towards Biology with Duncan in tow, we managed to make it inside just before the bell rang.
I walked off towards my seat next to Gwen, giving my project to the teacher as I walked by her desk, thank goodness that I wasn't sitting next to that Neanderthal in this period at least.
I saw Duncan give the teacher a note, "class, this is Duncan Halloway. Duncan you may sit over there by Trent." Ms. Oikalm said to Duncan, he just shrugged and walked over to Trent, winking as he passed by me. I just scoffed and turned my head away.
"Class, today we shall be dissecting a human head." There were some mixed sounds at this, a few moans, a few 'Awesome!', a few laughs, and just one 'I'm allergic to dead bodies.'. That last one came from none other than Harold Schaffer, the resident Allergy boy. The guy was allergic to EVERYTHING, it became annoying, "okay Harold, you may sit out if you need to. Bridgette?" "No thanks Ms. Oikalm, it's only animals that I don't feel comfortable dissecting, humans are fine." Bridgette calmly said to Ms. Oikalm.
"Okay then class, come with me." The teacher said, standing up. We all stood up too and followed Ms. Oikalm to the Science Lab, when we got there, I noticed that there was a bulge kind of thing under a tarp, the teacher pulled off the tarp to reveal 20 dead human heads, "now, partner up and grab a head to dissect." Ms. Oikalm told us. Before I could even approach Bridgette, Duncan walked over and grabbed my arm, "come along, partner. We have a head to dissect." Duncan told me, grinning maliciously, I yanked my arm free, "one; I'm not you're partner, two; I wouldn't walk with you if my life depended on it, and three; I will never work with you." I growled to him, "but princess, we are the only ones without partners." Duncan said grinning, I just growled in response and put on the rubber latex gloves.
I picked up a head and brought it over to a table with all of the necessary tools on it, Duncan following me, "now you will do what I say, when I say it, and you will do it right. Got it?" I growled to him, "ooh feisty, I like that in a woman." Duncan said to me, a smirk on his face. I could easily tell what he was thinking, I shuddered, picked up the scalpel, and started dissecting the human head. Duncan watched me as I worked, me occasionally saying tidbits of information to him. We were the first ones to finish so we just stood around, waiting for everyone else to finish. As I waited, I doodled on a piece of paper, not paying really attention to what I drew.
"Well, well, well. What have we got here?" I heard Duncan say as he peered over my shoulder at my drawings, I snatched my paper out of his sight, "none of your business." I said to him, I quickly looked over at my paper and blushed when I saw what I had been drawing. Little hearts with C+D inside of them.
Well, he is hot.
But he's a delinquent!
So? He's hot, and smart if he can get into this class. Maybe there's more to him than meets the eye...
"Princess? Hey Princess, wake up. It's time to go." Duncan said, waving his hand in front of my face, I jumped back to reality and narrowed my eyes, "my name is not 'Princess', it's Courtney. C-O-U-R-T-N-E-Y." I said to him slowly, enunciating every syllable as if he couldn't understand, "I know Princess, but Princess fits you so much better than 'Courtney'." Duncan said, smirking. I just shook my head at him, picked up my stuff, and followed the rest of the class back to the class room. We spent the rest of the period talking about the different parts of the human head, their functions, and what kinds of things they were made of.
The bell rang just then and I picked up my stuff and walked towards the teachers desk, Ms. Oikalm smiled at me and handed me my paper, a nice big 'A+' was written across the top, "thank you Ms. Oikalm." I said to her politely, I walked out of the room, followed by Duncan still, and headed to my locker, I stashed my books and my paper inside and I got out another assignment and a book.
I headed off to my next class, Literature, not noticing that Duncan had slipped away. As soon as I walked inside, I sat down in my usual spot and took out my paper. I waited for Duncan to walk in, when he didn't, I started to wonder what happened to him. The second bell rang and he still hadn't shown up, I decided to go find him and give him a piece of my mind, I raised my hand and said politely, "Mrs. Kligah, may I go to the restroom?" The teacher gave me a hall pass and I walked outside of the room, I walked around the school, looking for Duncan, I finally found him walking inside a side door all the way over on the other side of the building. As soon as I saw him, I walked over to him and put my hands on my hips, "what were you doing? Why aren't you in class?" I asked him angrily, he just smirked, "none of your business, Princess." He said to me, smirking still.
I leaned over to him, "yes it is my business. I demand to know what you were doing out there that was more important than school." I growled at him, he grinned and snaked his arms around my waist, "well, well, Princess. I didn't know you cared." Duncan said to me pulling me towards him, I struggled against him to no avail, "I don't, but Mr. Ketchall asked me to show you around today and I don't want my grade lowered just because you feel like going all criminal on me." I said to him, getting nervous about how close he was, "okay then Princess. I'll show up on time to all of my classes, on one condition." He said smirking, oh why does his smirk have to be so sexy? Wait, 'sexy'? I'm losing my mind, "anything." I said with a sigh of relief, "one kiss." He said leaning his head towards mine, I wasn't expecting that answer, "w-wh-what?" I stuttered trying to back up, still not working, "one kiss on the lips. That's all I ask. Then I'll show up to classes on time, I promise." He said, his face just inches from mine, "no. No, I will not kiss a delinquent." I told him firmly, he sighed, "well it was worth a try." Duncan said, backing up, or so I thought, "good. Now let g-" I was broken off when his lips crashed against mine.
My eyes widened and for a moment I was in shock. After a few seconds though, my mind unscrambled and I pushed him away from me, I slapped him across the face, leaving a big red mark on it, "what was that for?! I told you no! That was sexual harassment, I could have you sent to jail!" I threatened him, backing away as I did so, "aw c'mon Princess, you know you liked it." He said to me, smirking, "anyway, as I promised, I will now show up to my classes on time." Duncan told me, placing a hand over his heart. I growled and grabbed him by the ear, "you are coming with me young man, whether you want to or not." I said, dragging him along with me to my class. I walked inside the class room, still dragging Duncan by the ear, some people looked up and snickered. I finally let go of his ear and walked over to my seat, fuming silently. The class passed by quickly, and the rest of the day was uneventful. Unless you count when Harold got mauled by Duncan in P.E., that was pretty funny.
I quickly headed towards home as soon as I could, avoiding Duncan easily. As soon as I stepped outside of the school building, I saw people gawking up at the building, I turned around to what people were staring at and my mouth fell open. There, on the side of the grey school building, was a giant skull, very detailed too. Whoever did this has been doing this for a long time. I quickly gathered myself and headed off towards home, when I reached there, I walked inside only to see two strange people sitting in the living room with Mom and Dad, "Mom? Who are these people?" I asked her politely, "oh, of course you don't recognise them. Courtney this is Mr. and Mrs. Halloway. The parents of Duncan, your old friend, remember?" My Mom told me, now that I think about it, they do look familiar, "oh, Courtney! You have grown up so much! Duncan was really happy when we said we were going to move here." Mrs. Halloway said, smiling, "speaking of Duncan, where is he?" My Mom asked her, "oh! Well he's, um, he's still at school probably. He's changed quite a bit since we saw you last." Mrs. Halloway said, her smile disappearing.
Wait... Halloway? Oh. My. God. Duncan? Is him? I have to get out of here before he arrives...
"Excuse me, could I go up to my room? I have some homework I need to do." I said to my mother politely, she just waved her hand and started talking to Mrs. Halloway again. I quickly headed up to my room, just as I had closed my door, the doorbell rang, "I'll get it!" I heard my mother call out, 3...2...1..., I thought in my head, just as I had thought zero, I heard the door slam, "honey! There's a delinquent kid outside!" I heard her say as she ran into the living room, I heard both of the Halloways sigh, "yes... That would be Duncan." I heard Mr. Halloway say, "your son is a delinquent." I heard my father say in a monotone, "yes." I heard Mrs. Halloway say nervously, "well I guess he isn't invited to our house anymore. Just make sure that he stays away from Courtney, I don't want him corrupting her. You may come over though whenever you like." I heard my father say cheerily.
Well, at least I don't have to deal with him as much.
Oh come on! You know this makes you unhappy! You like him! You know you do!
No I don't! I hate him! He is disgusting, perverted, rude, sexy, prying, bully that feeds off of other people for his own amusement!
HA! You said sexy!
What?! Oh great...
And with a sigh, I headed over to my bed and lay down. This was going to be a long day.
Okay. First chapter is up!
I know it's really long and just so you know, the other chapters might not be this long.
So yes, they kissed, but it was DUNCAN who forced her to kiss him.
And no, she is not in love with him YET, she just has a crush on him.
So please review.
