The bell rang and I ran as fast as I could out of school. Finally, the last day had come and it was summer form here on out. I was almost at my car when someone tugged my elbow, causing me to turn round. I was staring straight into Duncan's eyes. Our faces were inches apart.

"Bye to you too, Princess." He whispered. I didn't respond, just stared him right in the eyes. "Here's to Senior year." And before I could pull away Duncan's lips made a connection with mine. I stared at his eye lids and then closed mine as I eased into the kiss. It only lasted a few seconds, but to me it felt like forever.

"See you in September." He called as her walked off. I was left standing in shock. People were staring at me, but I didn;t care. Duncan had kissed me. Me! Of all people he kissed me.

I made my way over to my car and Stevie raised an eyebrow, she had clearly been watching. I gave her a shrug of my shoulders and climbed into the drivers seat. The whole ride home the kiss was on my mind. It was my first kiss. Duncan had been my first kiss. Why had he kissed me?He couldn't possibly like me, could he? Of course he didn't like me, who would like me? Preppy Courtney Baker. Why would anyone be interested in me? I love school and run for class president. I have high expectations and no friends. I have my whole future planned out and no one is going to stop me from achieving my dreams. So why would Duncan Lewis, the school's bad boy, kiss me?

I pulled up into the driveway and ran to my bedroom. I flopped down on my bed and tried to answer all the questions. I couldn't. Only Duncan could answer them, and who knew when I was going to see him again. September. months away until saw him again. So much for the perfect summer.I was looking forward to relaxing, but no. I have to spend it at some run down cabin by a lake with my first kiss replaying over and over in my mind. Life sucks.


"We'll be back before midnight." My mother said, putting on the finishing touches to her outfit. She was wearing a strapless dress that was white up the top and black from the waist down. Her thin heels made and echoing noise as she walked from her bedroom and into the wooden floored hallway.

"Your responsible for the kids not staying up too late." My father told Shayne and I.

"Chill, dad." Shayne reassured him. "They'll be fine."

"Don't worry." I said. "Everything will be fine."

"I am holding you responsible if something happens." My father teased.

"And what's going to happen?" I joked.


The music blasted from the stereo's that were placed all over the family room. The house was crowded with rowdy teenagers and all my siblings were enjoying the party. It was Shayne's annual end of school year party. Everyone from school shows up. Mom and dad go out to dinner to have some alone time before they have to spend the whole summer with us. I had forgotten all about the party. I was rushing round the house frantically. I anything got broken I was in trouble.

"Shayne!" I shouted to my older brother over the music. "Don't you think the party's getting a little out of control?"

"You need to relax, Court." He replied, as he danced off into the sea of people.

"UGH!" I screamed, but no one could hear me because the music was just that loud. I turned round and made my way over to the staircase to sit down, but before I could someone grabbed me by the waist and pulled me back toward them.

"Hey, Princess." Duncan sid, resting his head on my shoulder and looking up at m with those memorizing eyes of his. "I didn't expect you to be here. You don't strike me as the party type, what gives?" He clearly had no idea. I removed myself from Duncan's grip and twirled round to face him.

"This is my house." I told him. He smirked at me and then pulled me closer to him.

"Shayne is your brother?" He asked. I nodded yes. "He's my brother's best mate." Damn! Will Lewis was Duncan's brother.

The two of us stood for a while, Duncan with his arms around my waist, me gazing up at his perfect tealy-blue eye's. Until I regained control and took a step away from him. He gave me a confused look.

"What's wrong, Princess?" He took a step forward and entwined my hand in his.

"Why did you kiss me?" I asked. His expression went form puzzled to shocked.

"I would have thought some as smart as you would have figured it by now." He replied, confusing me. He must have seen the look on my face because he leaned in closer to my ear and whispered, "I. Like. You." I was taken back in shock. He just admitted he liked me. "Do you like me?" He continued to whisper in my ear, sending shivers down my back.

"I guess I do." I whisperd back. Even though I couldn't see his face, because he a still leaning down by my ear, I knew he was smirking to himself.

Before I knew it our lips were touching again. I was sweet and gentle at first butafter a few second Duncan bit on my bottom lip causing my mouth to open slightly and his tounge slithered into my mouth. My arms automaticaly slipped round his neck, and I was shocked to find my tounge fighting his inside my mouth. His toungue bar gave him an advantage and so he won the battle. Duncan moved his tounge to all the spaces in my mouth. He went over each place twice and then started licking the roof of my soon tired of my mouth and trailed kisses from my lips down to my coller bone. I gripped onto his bright green mohawk as he bit down, making a small moan escape my lips. Luckily the music hid the noise I had made. Duncan sucked on my neck and more moans left my mouth without permission. Slowly he made his way back to my mouth and pecked my lips a few times before letting me rest my head on his well-toned chest.

I woud have stayed hugging him all night if my phone hadn't started beeping like mad, telling me it was half past 11.

"Shit!" I screamed.

"What's wrong?" Duncan asked.

"You have got to help me get rid of everyone." I told him.

"I'm on it." Duncan ran from our spot by the staircase into the family room and jumped up onto the window ledge. He whistled loud enough for everyone to turn and face him.

"Party's over! Get the hell out of the house." There was some mumbling from the crowd but then two boys umpedup either side of Duncan.

"Anyone who refuses to leave will have to face us!" Will shouted. Everyone started heading to the doors. They scrambled for the exits until there was no one left in he house but my siblings, Duncan, Will and I.

"We've got to get this place cleaned up before mom and dad get home!" Stevie yelled.

"Everyone spilt up and hopefully we can get this place sorted." I said, and everyone ran off in different directions.

"Five minutes!" I heard Shayne call from the depth of the house. I kissed Robin's forhead and she fell instantly to sleep. I ran back downstairs and could hear the roar of the engine from my dad's car. I sprinted into the now spotless family room and took a seat on the sofa next to Duncan. Shayne and Will jumped into place on the arm chairs opposite us and we all started up a random converstaion when my parents walked in.

"Hi, mom, hi, dad." Shayne greeted, turning round in his chair to face them. "Hope you don't mind that we had friends over."

"Of course not." My mother said, hanging her bag and jacket up.

"But you kids had better be getting home." My father butted in.

I walked Duncan to the front door and stood facing him, not knowing what to say. He could see the uncertainty in my expression. Duncan took my hands in his and leaned his forehead against mine, I looked up and was engulfed by his eyes.

"I'm sorry." He apologized.

"Sorry for what?"I asked, confused.

"For springing all this on you." He told me.

"Don't be sorry."

"But who knows when we'll see each other again, I'm going away for the whole summer."

"So am I." I closed my eyes while I paused to find the right words. "We'll see each other in september, the beginning of a new year for the two of us."

"And you won't see anyone else throughout summer, will you?"

"No, will you?"

"No." Duncan kissed my cheek before leaving my house. That was the last time I would see him all summer.
