Chapter 2

New Home, Old Friends

Courtney POV

The sounds of cars honking, the feel of your skin being burned by the sun, the smell of the saltwater of the beaches nearby; yeah we're in Cali. We just made it to San Francisco and we're heading to Los Angeles. We're going to be living in LA from now on and I couldn't wait to see Bridgette again.

"Just 5 more hours sweetie I know you're anxious to get out this car and so am I." My mom said with a soft smile.

"And the movers should be there to help us unpack so don't worry I'm not going to have you do all the hard work."

She added for a laugh. I smiled at her as got my phone out to text Bridgette.

Courtney:

hey B! We're in San Francisco we'll be there in another 5 hours!

Bridgette:

Ok! I'll be off work by then and I got a surprise for yooou~!

Courtney:

Oooh! I can't wait til I see you! It better not be green jello X( Lol

Bridgette:

It might be :P lol nah jk but you will love it and I can't wait to see you too!

Courtney:

I'll text you when we make it there do you still have the address I sent you?

Bridgette:

Yeah I do and ok I'll talk to you later!

I couldn't help but keep smiling cause I was excited! Sighing I thought what I could do to pass the time. 5 hours... 5 hours... I flipped through my phone going through my apps. I didn't feel like playing any games. I clicked on Netflix. Watching tv will definitely make time go by. Now what to watch? Law and Order? No, seen all the seasons. Once upon a Time?

Nah, I'm caught up on the episodes. I scrolled and scrolled til a name caught my eye. A name I haven't seen nor heard in years. Total Drama Island. In big bold red letters and our picture at the bottom.

Unknowingly to myself I pushed the play button and I heard Chris's voice talking about the show, the camp, the campers and the prize money. Then the theme song started to play. Well, might as well watch it I pushed play.

Putting my earphones in my phone and ears and leaning back in my seat and continue to watch the show. First ones to show up was Beth and DJ. Both of them were really sweet.

Then it was Gwen to come next. I rolled my eyes when she appeared and talked how she didn't sign up for this and wasn't staying. Even if it was a recording I couldn't help but to scoff at her. Yeah I'm still holding that thorn of a grudge against her.

Geoff, Lindsay, and Heather showed up next. Geoff was the big party guy, you can look at him and tell he's a let loose type of guy and god Lindsay was the main definition of dumb blonde and Heather was such a bitch back then.

My mouth went dry when the next made his appearance. Duncan. Those piercings, the cold fearless look in his eye, the bad attitude.. I had to swallow hard feeling my face burn lightly. I shook my head to focus on other stuff.

Tyler came up next making a huge wipeout on the dock. What a dork. Next came Harold, Trent and Bridgette. Trent had his guitar flirting with Gwen and Bridgette had her surf board.

Noah, Leshawna, Katie and Sadie and Ezekiel appeared next. Man the guy was crazy.. Then Cody, Eva, and Owen. Owen was just too happy for me sometimes. Then me and Justin showed up. Before Alejandro made himself known, Justin was the hottest guy in the whole show. And last but not least Izzy arrived and hit her chin on the dock. That woman was a nuthouse.

Chris made us take a picture at the dock and damn thing broke having all of us drop the cold water. I laughed at that scene. Back then I was pissed off but I can laugh at it now.

I watched one episode after another. By the time I got to episode 7 we made it to LA and to the house. The movers waiting in the yard us.

"Well I better let Bridgette know I'm here."

I said typing the text out as mom pulled in the yard.

The house we picked out is two storied, cremé colored brick with three garage doors and a pool in the back yard.

"It's more beautiful than the pictures." My mom awed as she got out the car.

I followed her out going to greet the movers.

"Mom I'm going to pick out my room ok!"

I really didn't wait for an reply as I walked in the house. Golden brown hard wooden floors was met with pure white walls.

I went to the room on my left first and saw the kitchen.

It was huge with marvel countertops, honey brown cabinets doors, and a glass table. I left the kitchen and headed upstairs. I walk down the hallway and opened the last door on the right. The room was just as big as the kitchen. It had its own bathroom and the closet space was like walking into another room. It even had a balcony! A freaking balcony! I always wanted one.

"Mom! I found my room!" I called from the room.

"I'll say, but stop yelling you'll disturb your new neighbors."

I turned to the voice that replied and saw my best friend Bridgette. I couldn't stop myself from screaming in glee and giving her a death hug.

"Bridge!"

"Court!"

"Oh my god I've missed you so much it's been forever!"

"I know! I've got so much to tell you and show you!"

"And you know I can't wait."

Pulling my best friend from our reunion hug I really looked at her. Bridgette hasn't changed a bit. Her hair was still long as ever in the same ponytail, and wore a white tank top with dolphins on it and blue jean shorts.

"Courtney i'm loving the new you girl.~ The hair, the clothes girl I love I love I love!~"

I guess Bridge was checking me out too

"Thanks, I just felt it was time for a change. For a lot of stuff..you know?"

Bridgette nodded knowing what I was talking about and put her hand on my shoulder.

"It'll be ok and you know sometimes change is good and most of the time it's for the better I mean I'm really loving this new you! I can't get over it!"

I laughed, feeling a lot better now my bestie was here. Bridgette and I move our reunion downstairs since the movers were bringing my stuff in. I'll sort it all out later.

"So what was the surprise you got me?~" I cooed.

Bridgette smiled more brightly at me blushing. Now I was suspicious.

"Courtney, I'm getting married! Will you be my maid of honor?"

I believe my mouth fell on the floor.
