Chapter 3
Mr. Stratford walked into his house after a long day of work. He left his suitcase by the door and continued to the living room, where Gwen was reading her usual book.
"Good afternoon Gwen," Mr. Stratford said as he checked through the mail.
"Hello daddy," Courtney said as she entered from the side door.
"Hello precious."
"And where have you been?" Gwen asked Courtney. Courtney's eyes widened and she shook her head behind her father.
"Hey, what's this Gwen?" Mr. Stratford asked while holding up a large letter from Cornell University. Gwen immediately jumped up and grabbed the letter from him, excited. She ripped it open and read its contents, her face soon lighting up.
"I got in!" she shouted with joy as she threw herself on the couch.
"Wait, I thought you were going to stay here and go to a community college?" Mr. Stratford asked.
"I say we let her go," Courtney voted, wanting to be rid of her sister.
"Come on dad. It's one of the top universities, and they gave me a partial scholarship."
"No. I will not have one of my daughters off to God knows where doing God knows what."
"Just let her leave daddy. I guarantee she won't be missed," Courtney said, mocking Gwen. Gwen turned to her and smiled.
"Guess who drove Courtney home from school," Gwen said.
"Don't change the sub- who drove you home?" Mr. Stratford asked, concerned.
"Now don't worry daddy. It was this really nice boy, Justin, who I think might ask me to the dance-"
"And you're answer will be no."
"But daddy-"
"No buts," Mr. Stratford interrupted. "Now what are the two rules we have in this house? One: no dating boys until you graduate. Two: no dating boys until you graduate."
"But that's not fair. I'm the only girl in school who doesn't date," Courtney complained.
"Oh no. Your sister doesn't date."
"And I wouldn't if I could," Gwen said, skimming through the information that Cornell sent her."
"And why's that?" Mr. Stratford asked, trying to prove his point.
"Because all the boys in our school are either immature, idiotic, a slob, or just not worth my time."
Courtney scoffed. "Really? You're taking his side?" Mr. Stratford stood up.
"Okay old rule out new rule in. You can date," Mr. Stratford said to Courtney, "As soon as she does," he finished, pointing to Gwen. Courtney jumped up.
"But she's a mutant! What if she never dates?"
"Then you'll never date- oh, I like that," Mr. Stratford answered.

"You're seriously going to do this?" Geoff asked. "You just met this girl yesterday, and you're going to do this?" Duncan sighed.
"No Geoff. I told you, I would never do that sport. Ever. No girl is worth it." Duncan shifted his vision to the side, where he saw Courtney walking. "Now if you'll excuse me Geoff, I'm going to get a girl the old fashion way." Duncan snuck himself to Courtney's side.
"Excuse me, but you dropped this," Duncan said, handing Courtney a folded paper. She opened it then eyed Duncan.
"Would this happen to be your phone number?" Courtney asked handing him back the paper.
"Really? I was kind of hoping it was yours," Duncan smoothly said. Courtney rolled her eyes.
"Like I haven't heard that one already." Duncan smiled as she walked away from him. He calmly leaned himself against the locker.
"Alright, I just thought you could use some scholastic help." Courtney turned around and marched back to him.
"What could a delinquent like you teach me about school?" Courtney asked with attitude.
"Well, not so much school, as sports," he said, flipping around his folded paper in his hand. Courtney thought a moment.
"Go on." Duncan pushed himself off the wall and turned to be by her side.
"Well, you see, I heard that you needed to join a sport this year, or you wouldn't be able to graduate next year." Courtney smiled in humor.
"Do you even know what the only sport available to join is?"
"Of course I do. And I happen to know a thing or two about," Duncan choked a bit on his last words, "Baton Twirling."
"I find that a bit hard to believe," Courtney said, about to leave.
"Really? Because it seems like I'm your last hope," Duncan said. Courtney cursed at herself and faced Duncan.
"Fine. I suppose I could use your help."
"Then you're going to need this," Duncan said, handing her the folded paper. Courtney took the paper, fake smiling, and walked away. Once she left, Geoff met up with Duncan.
"So how did it go?" Geoff asked.
"I'm going to do it," he said, and they walked off.

Important note:
Just to clear things up: Yes, Gwen and Courtney are sisters, not step sisters. Geoff is popular, but not as popular as Justin. At this moment, both Courtney and Heather like Justin. And finally, not all of the characters have been introduced yet.
