Sorry For Ruining Your Chance
Everyone walked out of the Girl's locker room..
Courtney ran back to grab her phone (which she ALWAYS kept... just in case)
"Courtney, Hurry up!" Gwen said.
"Coming!" Courtney said as she put her phone in her pocket.
She followed Gwen outside and she saw all the guys with the girls..
"Why are the guys with us?" Courtney asked.
"I don't know." Gwen said.
"Everyone sit down and listen to our instructions." Coach Riley yelled. "Today, we're going to make you have partners. Your partner will be with you for the whole year. If one of you don't dress-out, both of you get points off. We are doing this for teamwork and understanding each other. Any questions?"
"Uhmmm... Will we pick our partners?" Some random little girl said.
"Yes, your partner can be a girl or boy." Coach Riley answered.
Most of the girls turn to look at Duncan.
"You have 60 seconds to find your partner. Start!" Coach Riley acted like it was a race or something.
Duncan is in a crowd of girls. I guess I'll go to Gwen..
Too late.. She ends up with Geoff.
"Give me some space!" Duncan yelled. "Can't I pick my own partner?"
Courtney laughed. "Must be fun being popular with the girls."
"Yeah, you should try it." He grabbed her arm and dragged her into the crowd. "Sorry, guys. This is my partner." He said, holding her up like she was a trophy.
"This?" Courtney said, glaring at him.
"Maybe 'it' is better." He smiled at her.
"You know, I don't agree with you being my partner. I'm going to find someone else." Courtney said, walking away from him.
"Alright, sit down with your partner and we'll give you your activities for the day." Coach Bob yelled.
"Sorry, princess. It's too late." He smirked.
"Ughh. I can't believe you!" Courtney yelled.
"What part do you not believe? The looks or the personality?" Is he trying to flirt with me or be an ass?
"Courtney and Duncan. I want you guys to pass the football." Coach Bob said.
"That's a little too hard for Miss Courtney, here. Anything easier?" Duncan said to coach.
"Are you kidding? I'll have you know that I can throw a football. Maybe even better than you can." Courtney said, grabbing the football.
"Bring it, princess." He smirked.
She pegged the ball at his face, but Duncan had ducked.
"You know, trying to hit my face is not the goal here. Want me to show you how to throw?" He smiled.
"No. I'm fine."
"So.. Are you single?" He threw the ball back at her. Not pegging it.
"Yeah." She caught it, then looked down at her feet.
"I am... for now." He made Courtney smile a little.
"Who's Jennifer?" Courtney was curious about this.
"A total bitch." He stopped smiling and looked serious.
"What... happened?"
"We were like best friends since 6th grade. She asked me out one day... and I told her that I didn't like her in that way. Well, she started crying and telling everyone what a jerk I was and started stupid rumors that everyone now believes. It sucks cause all her hot friends hated me and wouldn't believe me. Sooo... yeah." Duncan was very serious, for once.
"Soooo... That's why you didn't want me to believe the rumors..?" Courtney thought about it... It does make sense..
"Yeah. I didn't want you to hate me." He smiled.
He's kind of nice when he's not trying to be a smart-ass."We better go. Everyone else is leaving." Courtney said.
"Sure, but I'm going to remind you that we will be together for a whole year. Aren't you lucky?" Duncan said.
"Do you ever dress-out?"
"Only if I want to." He smiled.
"Great..." She smiled back.
"Did I ever tell you that your pretty cute?"
"No."
"Good, because you're not." Courtney began to glare at him.
The he said, "You're actually hot."
Courtney suddenly turned her head to not look at him.
"What? Embarassed?" He smiled. "You're different."
"Should I take that as a good thing?"
"Sure."
She stared at him for a while. "You know, you're not what I thought you would be."
"What did you think?"
"A manwhore...?"
They both started laughing.
"I'm not. Don't worry." He smirked.
She shoved him. "We were having a moment."
