Chapter 3:
~Trent's POV~
{Playa des Losers}
"WHAT?!" I looked up from my journal to see the former CIT crazily screaming at the television, about to throw it out the window. I quickly got up and ran over before she could get a god enough grip.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" the CIT screamed in his face. I calmly looked at her, noticing something….different about her. I had only had eyes for Gwen at camp, but now that I looked at the girl staring intently at me, with anger and, could it be, hurt? I snapped out of my moment as I saw tears forming in her eyes.
"Why were YOU about to throw the TV out the window?" I asked calmly, putting a slight emphasis on you.
"Well… I was just… I saw… it was… UGH! I was watching the latest total dram episode, and… and I saw something." She looked down nervously, and I could tell she was on the verge of crying her eyes out. I wrapped my arms around without thinking, and gave her a little hug, letting her cry a little more. I then pulled away slightly, giving her a little space. I then looked her in eye.
"What did you see?" I asked straight-forwardly. I needed to know what made this girl so upset. I knew she was going through some of the same things I was, her being away from Duncan, me away from Gwen.
"Well… it was ju-just… IT WAS DUCAN AND GWEN!" she finally cried out in hysterics, covering her eyes, leaning into my chest. I was confused, but let her cry a little before pressing for more.
"What do you mean, it was Duncan and Gwen?" I asked softly, wanting her to feel a little better. She gave me a slight smile, tears slowing down. I was glad to see her perk up a bit. I hated seeing her so hurt, but then, what could've upset her this much?
"Well, I was watching the show, noticing Gwen and Duncan were getting along. I realized how sweet he could be, and how much… they have in common. Then, came the worst part. The confessionals came on, and when Gwen said some stuff, I lost it, until it switched to Duncan. He then said some things, and I guess every harbored feeling for him just erupted as I heard him say what he said. I couldn't take it and-and…" she trailed off into strong sobs, leaning against me for support. I comforted her thinking about everything she just told me. I needed to hear what they had said! But, I should wait for Courtney to go to her room, I thought, she's upset enough as I is.
~Duncan's POV~
{Back at the trailers}
"Hey Juvie, what'ya carving?" I heard a familiar voice behind me, knowing perfectly well ho had just spoken to me. Without turning, I replied.
"Just something for a special girl," I hinted with a smirk, focusing on the carving, when I swore I heard a sigh behind me. I looked up at Gwen, her face had a smile on it, but I could see her eyes were clouded with despair. I quickly set down my carving and scooted over so she could sit, patting the steps expectantly. She smiled slightly before seating herself down.
"What's up Pasty? You seem down," I questioned her, turning to face her better, also hiding the carving. I swear a saw a slight blush graze her cheeks, but that quickly disappeared. She looked up from her hands, with a fake smile plastered on her face.
"Nothing, I'm just-" She cut herself off, looking down then back at me, smiling again, weakly though, "I am really happy you and Courtney are holding up so well, through this competition. I just wish I could say the same, it seems like I can't get into a good relationship and not have it ruined or find out I fell for a fake… I mean, he's nice, but I just couldn't shake the feeling he was to 'dream boy'" she turned to me, and apparently I had an odd look on my face, because as she looked at me, she covered her mouth and her eyes grew wide. "SHIT! I didn't mean to dump all this on you, it was just- well- you were here- and I tend to say what I think… I'm sorry." When she finished, I couldn't help the astonished look that crossed my face, only to be replaced by a sly smirk.
"What do you need to apologize for? You're like my best friend here, why would you think I wouldn't care how you felt? Plus," I smirked at this last part, "Who said I was carving something for Courtney? She's not the only special girl in my life." I stated the last part just in time to see her eyes grow happier, but her face got a sudden look to it. She almost looked, disappointed? But I meant that as a compliment!
"How can you say that? You're in love with Courtney, you should be loyal to her!" she asked e, her head tilted slightly to the right. Damnit, if she kept being this way, there would be no way of controlling myself much longer! Yet, at the moment, the thought of Courtney was able to keep me on track.
"Well, you see- the thing is- I'm not sure… I mean I don't know- how things are going are great, but… well- I don't know if I completely think- I still- love her." Finishing that sentence was one of the hardest points of my life. I had just admitted what I had thought every time I saw Gwen, or Courtney for that matter.
~Gwen's POV~
What?! Did he just say what I think he said?! OHMYGOD! How am I going to respond to that? I can't just say 'hey, I know you probably are just falling out of love with her and probably think I'm weird or not hot enough, or simply don't feel the way I do about you, but could you consider going out with me?' Yeah, that could work, if he didn't have a girlfriend, didn't think of me as just a friend, and we lived in an alternate dimension where good things actually happened to me.
"Well… if you're looking for advice, I'm not sure what to say…" I looked down, then saw him looking down at his knife. "But don't go telling me you've gone all soft on us! I mean, if you go soft, then who's gonna challenge me? I need you to be a badass so that it makes beating your sorry ass all the more fun!" I smirked, a slight laugh escaping my lips. He then looked up at me, that glint in his eyes. He smirked at me, making me flinch slightly.
"What? Me, I'm not soft, and who says you'd be beating my ass in this competition?" he replied, scooting a little closer. I looked him in the eye. I couldn't take it, he was taunting me! I'll just have to play it cool and try to get in the lead.
"Oh, you know, it's like how every time we're pitted against each other in a one-on-one competition, I seem to always win. Could you be losing your edge?" I laughed and jumped up just in time. He had shot forward in an attempt to tackle me, but I was too quick and ran into the nearby sets, him chasing me.
"HAHA! I-I CAN'T TAKE IT!" I screamed as he caught me, tackling me down and tickling me. "STOP!"
"As if, Pasty! Not until you admit to my face that I am just as good as I've ever been!" He taunted me, leaning forward slightly, smirking, and still holding his grip lightly. He was tickling my sides and I couldn't take it anymore.
"FINE! YOU'RE JUST AS GOOD AS-S YOU'VE EVER- HAHA- BEEN! YOU'RE-HAHA- AMAZING AND STRONG- HAHA- OH GREAT JUVIE!" I finished and he looked at me, smirked and stopped, getting off of me and sitting next to my body. I could still feel his fingers on my sides, and I couldn't help but continuing to laugh hysterically, though I was managing to catch my breath.
I looked over at Duncan. He was looking into the now night sky, searching through the stars. I slowly got up, and he glanced sideways at me, a small smirk appearing on his face. That's when I felt the burning sensation all across my face; I had been blushing like mad! I looked away, hoping he had thought I was just out of breath. "So, watcha lookin' at?" I tried to ask calmly, my breath still uneven.
"Just the stars, a group kind of looks like Herald's butt, HAHA!" he laughed then almost turned serious, for a moment, "And a girl with a face like a tomato." He then smirked, looking at me. I felt my cheek, and sure enough the blush just felt like it was growing instead of diminishing.
"Haha, yeah, you took my breath away," I laughed shyly, looking down. When I turned my head up, his eyes were growing wider by the second and I realized what I had just said. STUPID! "Oh! I- uh- meant like- um- the tickling- you um, were-uh- doing it really- uh- hard!" I attempted a save only to see him smirk slightly, looking a little cocking. What did I say now?
"So, you think I go hard, do ya?" he asked me, his cocky smile growing.
"Well, yeah, it really hurt. I almost don't see the pleasure in it that some people find, but there is a part of me that understands it feels amazing." I looked at him squarely and he busted out laughing. "What? What, did I say someth-" I cut myself off, finally getting why he had doubled over in laughter. "Duncan! You are such a pervert!" I screamed while laughing myself, feeling slightly embarrassed, and we ended up rolling around laughing.
"Oh- Oh! That was too good Gwenny!" he was still laughing, though he calmed down, wiping a tear from the corner of his eye. I felt a flutter in my chest. I love it when he calls me one of his nicknames. Both mine and his favorite is sunshine, though he mainly calls me Pasty on camera. We don't want people getting the wrong idea! But if we manage to sneak away from the cameras, he only calls me sunshine. It's funny to me because I am like the opposite of sunshine!
We laughed awhile longer, until we were having issues catching our breath and just laid on the ground. We each had a hand by our sides and one on our chest, attempting to help the beating slow. Our heads were next to each other, our bodies facing opposite directions. I yawned and turned my head. The last thing I saw was Duncan turning his head, and looking into those bright teal eyes, and then everything turned black.
How was this one? It's a little longer and I fit in some others' views. I hope it was amazing, oh and you guys should vote on the next chapter! I want to know how this should turn around;)
The next challenge is story time! Will everyone enjoy their childhood favorites? Or will a certain 'Ice Queen' read a favorite from last season?
Chris announces a surprise, but what will it be? The return of some old friends? Cabins will become mixed up? Or is everyone left on their own, alone and confused?
Is Owen totally friendly, or is he just that stupid? He leaks a secret he's been keeping to a certain someone that may use this knowledge to break down her fellow competitors… Has an alliance been formed, or does the 'love-able big guy' have too big of a heart to deny the 'Queen of mean'?
Pick your fav! They are all kind of secret-y and I don't want it to be too obvious, but I hope that you understand enough to know which should be featured next in this version of TOTAL! DRAMA! ACTION!
Hehe review!
