AN: It has been a while since I wrote any knew stories or updated anything hasn't it? *sheepishly rubs back of neck* Well I finally got my lazy self to write what quite a few have been waiting for….. Heartless chapter one! Ok before we start the story, every chapter is a new day ( with the story plot starting on a Monday) , it also takes place the week right after Brick switches to the Toxic Rats, and is also told from Brick's POV.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the campers/Total drama, the only thing I own is the story and ideas behind it.

So without wasting anymore of your valuable time, here's Heartless chapter 1! Hope you enjoy!

A loud military trumpet blares into my ears; waking me from my deep slumber. I smile lightly as I turn off my alarm clock. I love waking at exactly 0600 hours for a sprint every single day! [1]I thought while quickly putting on and tying my military combat boots. I got up and walked to the door, but something felt kinda off…. OH MY DOG TAGS! I haven't gone anywhere without them since my father, Lt. John McArthur, gave them to me for my tenth birthday. That was also the last time I ever saw my dad again, so keeping his dog tags were like keeping him with me forever. Just thinking about dad brings tears to my eyes, so as I put the dog tags around my neck, I wipe away any stray tears, hold my head up high, and whisper as I salute the air, "I'll make you proud dad!"

I head out the door and gently smell the fresh air of morning at Camp Wawanakwa before starting my morning run. A few minutes into the run, I close my eyes enjoying the sweat dripping down my face and the cool breeze of the wind, when I ran into something hard, yet landed on something kinda… soft?

"Get off of me Brickhead!" a voice yelled angrily at me. I was still kinda dazed so the voice was familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it… wait, did this "thing" call me Brickhead?! Oh no, I fell on top of Jo!

"I'm so sorry; I kinda closed my eyes and didn't see you…" I trailed of awkwardly as I stared into her beautiful violet orbs, then quickly I pulled myself off of her tiny frame and held a hand out to help her up. She smacked away my hand harshly, right before pulling herself up off the ground, and dusting herself off angrily.

She glared at me harshly before asking with a sly smirk, "You wanted to land on a girl that bad, Brickhouse?" My eyes widen immensely, all the while; feeling myself blush at the hidden meaning behind her question. My thoughts were halted when I heard the most beautiful laugh escape those amazing lips. "You should have seen your face!" She exclaimed, laughing even harder. She then, punched my arm in a playful manner, while asking, "How much do you weigh, solider? It had felt like a grown cow had fallen on top of me!" My eyes widened again, did I really weigh that much? I hope she's not hurt. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I hurt her in anyway.

"I only weigh, one thirty-two…" I said a little self conscious of myself, "I didn't hurt you, did I?" Please say no… Please…

"Of course not! I was only playing ya, Brick-for-brains!" she smirked, "Oh and thanks for the info, it was actually pointless, since the question was actually rhetorical and you did not really have to answer." She smiled lightly at me, "I'll keep that a secret between us." I smiled back, but it faltered when a sly smirk slid back over her face, "Only if you can catch me first!" She laughed as she took off running towards the creepy Wawanakwa forest.

I stood still for about a minute or two before her last words registered through my head, "Hey, no fair, Jo!" I yelled after her as I started to follow her in a full sprint. In a matter of minutes, I'm a mere four inches away from her. She turned and looked at me wide eyes, guess she didn't think I'd catch up this fast! Haha, I'll show her! I grin as I almost caught her before a dude with spiky ginger hair and freckles all over his pale body, stepped in front of my path with a cold gaze upon his features. What's Scott doing in the forest this early? I have a bad feeling about this….

"What do you think you're doing with the enemy, teammate?" He asked me with crossed arms, "Flirting with the enemy?" My eyes widen, did he find out I'm in love with her, or is he playing with my head? There is something totally off about the guy…. I can feel it!

"What?! Flirting, me? No, of course not, Scott! I'm a very loyal guy!" I say shakily, hopefully he buys it!

"Do you think I'm that stupid, Brick? Did you really think that I hadn't noticed all those times you snuck glances her way, or how jealous you got if some other guy had her attention, and you didn't?" His glare had gotten colder with each word he spat out of his mouth full of venom and distaste. We both stood there without speaking for a few moments before he gave me an evil smirk, "How 'bout we make a deal? "

"What kind of deal?" I asked raising the right side of my unibrow. I have a bad feeling that I'm gonna end up making a deal with the devil.

"It's simple really, if you do whatever I want and form a secret alliance with me, I won't tell any of our stupid teammates about your disloyalty to the team, or tell Jo about your secret crush on her, so how 'bout it cadet?" He asked, eyeing me closely, making sure I don't try to run, or get out of this deal in anyway.

I sighed and said emotionlessly, "Deal.", causing him to give me a wicked grin. "That's what I thought," he retorted smugly.

He slapped me on the back really hard, "Nice doing business with ya, Buddy." he snickered as he headed back off to the campgrounds. I stood there for a long while, staring at his retreating figure with one thought going through my mind, What in the world did I just get myself into?

AN: Wow this wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. I also know this chapter was more on Bricky than anyone else, but i did that on purpose. It plays major in future chapters of the story, but next chapter will have more of Jo being "Heartless".

I just wanna ask, am I the only one who thinks the way Jo flirts with Brick is adorable, or how cute it is that Brick tries to impress her, but something always throw him back to square one? I really adore his never quitting-like soul, which is a lot like Tyler actually, now that i think about it….

[1]- 0600 hours is military time for 6:00 A.M. and since Brick is a military cadet, why wouldn't he call the time of a day in military time?

I hoped you enjoyed chapter 1 because chapter 2 should come out sometime soon.
