Don't hate me! I know I haven't updated in 3 weeks but I had midterms and then there was drama club and I had an art show (I came in 5th D:) But I promise I'll be updating more frequently now.

Age 13

Duncans POV (sorta..ish?)

"Have a nice weekend class, and remember to do your homework! Pages 67-71 in the book!" Ms. Docurton yells, but I'm only half listening my mind is elsewhere. I'm so lost in thought that I don't notice the row of lockers ahead of me and I barely register what's happening before I slam my face into the lockers and crash onto the floor.

Laughter fills the hallways making my cheeks grow red. I see a pale hand outstretched towards me and I take it not in the mood to embarrass myself any further.

"Got Courtney on the brain Duncan?" Asks Gwen with a teasing smirk. Man if she wasn't a girl I'd totally punch her. "No!" I deny, but I've know Gwen almost as long as I've know Courtney. She knows when I'm lying and this happens to be a lie. "Uh-huh suuure." Says Gwen not convinced at all but deciding to drop the subject. "Anyway, Geoff wants to know if you want to go to Totsy's with us?" "Who's going?" I ask not wanting to spend an afternoon with a couple of dweebs. "Him obviously, Dj, Leshawna, Bridgette, Courtney, me, and Trent…" She replies face turning pink after saying the last name.

I decided to mess with her for teasing me earlier. I place an innocent look on my face. This is gonna be fun. "Y'know, I heard he might ask Heather Chan to the spring fling next month. They'd make a cute couple huh Gweny?" A smirk slowly grows on my face as I see her eyes go wide and her mouth open and close like a fish. She squeak out a "What?!", and thats when I lose it.

I clutch my stomach and grip onto my locker trying to hold myself up,but its no use I'm on the floor, and to anyone else it would look like I'm having a seizure. "Y-Youu Sh-shoul-ld have SEEn you-your Fa-ce!" I pant barely able to get that out.

When I finish laughing I stand back up to see Gwen glaring me "That was low Duncan. I was freaking out for a second! Don't fuck with people like that!" "Why would you care Gweny?" I say with my eyebrows raised. This should be good. "Uuuuuuh….No reason?" She mumbles as her cheeks grow red. Like red red. I'm talking firetruck red. I decide our dear Gweny's had enough and sling my arm over her shoulder. "Come on Pasty, let's go to Totsy's." She mumbles out a quick "whatever." as we make our way out of the building.

We walk into Totsy's looking around for our friends. We spot them sitting at a long table. Gwen races over and takes the seat in between Leshawna and Trent. She shoots a quick hey over to Leshawna before turning towards Trent. "Hey Trent." She says shyly. "Uh, Hey Gwen. I like your skirt." Trent says obviously flustered.

"I'm not wearing a skirt."

"Oh."

They both turn around both embarrassed from that awkward greeting. Those two are so stupid. They both obviously like eachother so why not get together?

I roll my eyes and thats when I notice the only seat available is next to:

You guessed it. Princess.

Well. At least it's also across from Pasty and Guitar Man. Shouldn't be too embarrassing. As I take a seat next to Princess I notice her staring intently at Gwen and Trent. Whats that about? "Didn't your mom ever teach ya not to stare at people?" I whisper in her ear. Apparently I was to close for her liking since she pushed my face as far from her as possible. "Sheesh, a simple 'no' would've been fine." I say rubbing my cheek.

She stays silent for a bit really freaking me out. finally she speaks, "Let me ask you something Duncan, Trent is your friend correct?" "No need to talk like my grandma Princess." I smirk, "Don't call me Princess, and answer the question." "Fine, yes." She nods, satisfied by my answer, "Alright and he likes Gwen right? like, like likes?" She asks. "What is this 4th grade? Yeah he "Like likes" her." Putting quotation marks on like likes. "Oh whatever!" She huffs "So Gwen likes Trent, and Trent likes Gwen. What are we gonna do about it?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow your roll there Princess, what do you mean what are WE gonna do about it?" I ask totally confused. Princess hates doing anything thats bad, and meddling in our friends love life (or lack of) is considered bad in most situations.

"Well I think its best that both Gwen and Trent, if they know about each others feelings!" Princess says obviously getting annoyed by my attitude. "Ooo the princess has a dark side." I smirk. I knew she wasn't the goody two-shoes everyone thought. No one who yells that loud could be so good. "NO! I'm just sick of Gwen going 'Trent this and Trent that' it's getting on my nerves!" She whisper-yells so no one will hear her. "Alright Princess I'll help you. What's the plan?" I ask getting on board. This could be my only chance to see Princess do something semi-wrong. A thing like this only comes along once in a lifetime!

"Well I was thinking we could get Gwen and Trent alone together and eventually they'll realize they're feelings for one another and bam! They start dating." She says with a triumphed smile. "Princess, Princess, Princess. When will you learn?" I sigh in mock exasperation. "Well what's your idea bozo?" "Well if you must know," I start ignoring her jab, "My older brother Danny got his girlfriend Molly to go on a date with him, when he got his friend to spill his drink all over her."

"Ooo what a great plan!...NOT" she says agitated, "I don't think spilling my milkshake all over Gwen is gonna get her a date."

"You're totally missing the point!" I shout making everyone turn towards me. Gwen raises her eyebrows at me as if to say 'really?' "Alright, alright, nothing to see here, return to you're respected smoothies, shakes, and/or slushies." I awkwardly rush out. I get a 'whatever' from Leshawna and everyone turns back to what they were doing.

"As I was saying Princess, you're missing the point." I say, at a more toned down volume, "If I spill my drink on Gwen, Trent will offer to walk her home. Gwen will see what a caring guy Trent is and tell 'em he's sweet. Trenty boy over there will blush and shyly ask her if she wants to see Invasion of the Things From Space 3. She says yes, he plants one on her, they date, everyone goes home happy." Princess sits there shell shocked I smirk in victory. Huh who knew I was such a love expert?

"That'll never work."

"Excuse me?" I ask flabbergasted (huh, guess english is good for something), "What do you mean it'll never work?! This plan is foolproof." "Oh puh-lease, Gwen isn't girly enough to fall for that sorta thing. The only thing that will happen is she'll punch you for spilling your drink all over her." Says Princess breezily. "Oh yeah? How bout a little bet then Princess?" I challenge her. Princess is never one to walk away from a challenge and I doubt that she's about to start now.

"You're on! And don't call me Princess! Winner gets to make the loser do whatever they want NO exceptions." Princess obviously think's she's gonna win, or else she wouldn't have made such a risky prize. "Deal. Now watch as the magic happens Princess."

I casually pick up my drink, as if to drink, but at the last second I "accidently" lose my grip, and let it fly towards Gwen getting my Royal Razz Slurpee all over her.

"WHAT THE FUCK DUNCAN!?"

And boom goes the dynamite.

"I can't believe I have to too this!" Whines an unpleased Courtney "Hey, you said you'd do whatever the winner wanted." I remind her, "We wouldn't want to go back on our word now would we Princess?" "DON"T CALL ME PR-" "I still can't believe you two made a bet about us getting together." Says Gwen cutting off Princess before she could yell at me. "Yeah that was kinda rude guys." Adds Trent.

If you couldn't tell by now, I won the bet. Now what did I make Princess do you may ask?

"Of all the things to make me do, it had to be going on a double date with Gwen and Trent. Why don't you just kill me now and get it over with?"

What can I say? With Princess, I'll take whatever I can get.
