She felt her head jerk phía trước, chuyển tiếp and her eyes snapped open, she was dead tired. She had been up all last night trying to get her project for Science class done and of course she had to get into another fight with her mom about school.
Apparently Courtney’s A+ in Math had lowered to a B. She endured a five giờ lecture on how coming up một giây best was unacceptable and how life required bạn to be on hàng đầu, đầu trang of your game and yadda, yadda, yadda. Courtney had heard it all a million times before and didn’t need to be told what she already knew, she just wished she could catch a break every now and then.
“Hey princess what chapter are we suppose to be studying?” asked Duncan poking her sharply in the shoulder.
She growled slightly under her breath. ‘He honestly doesn’t know?’ Courtney began to wonder how stupid he really was.
“It’s the same chapter we’ve been studying for the past two weeks idiot,” replied Courtney grumpily.
Duncan quirked an eyebrow and clicked his tongue piercing against his teeth. “What’s up with you? Wake up on the bitchy side of the giường this morning?”
Courtney glared at him. “It just so happens yes I did wake up in a bad mood this morning since I didn’t get much sleep, so please Duncan just give me a break today,” she begged him desperately. She really wasn’t in the mood for one of their round abouts today.
Duncan didn’t fail to notice the plea and found it a little strange. Usually she got mad at him but she rarely got upset bởi him. “You really slept so bad you’re not even willing to fight with me? Gee bạn must’ve had a bad night.”
Courtney sighed. “You have no idea,” she whispered.
“What?” asked Duncan not catching what she said.
She shook her head. “Nothing. Anyway it’s chapter 8 in case bạn were still wondering.” She started packing her things up in her bag since the chuông, bell was about to ring and noticed Duncan was staring at her. If he was trying to not annoy her he was doing a poor job.
“What are bạn looking at?” she asked drearily.
Duncan was looking at the bags under her dark coal eyes, the uncombed parts of her soft brown hair, and the way her soft màu hồng, hồng mouth was turned into an almost permanent frown. Even when she seemed at her lowest she was still hot as hell. Duncan was after all a guy and couldn’t help but admit that, but it did make him pity her for feeling so crappy about life when she had plenty going on for her. He knew Courtney had no free classes, a lot of AP classes and tons of after school activities and clubs. He didn’t see how a person could stand doing all that at once and not crack at some point.
“Why do bạn tire yourself out so much?” asked Duncan seriously. “I know bạn don’t like to have fun but bạn don’t need to work yourself to death.”
Courtney couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Was he actually lecturing her? She looked at him and scoffed.
“I do too like to have fun, and just because I don’t like to be lazy doesn’t mean I work myself to death.” Courtney swung her backpack on her back swiftly. “I anything is driving me to the point of death it’s bạn and your stupid questions.” The chuông, bell finally rang and Courtney marched out of class before Duncan could say anything else.
He sat in his ghế, chỗ ngồi half smiling. Oh yeah she was going to crack, and he was interested to see what that was going to be like.

Courtney sighed as she settled in her bed. She couldn’t believe the ngày was finally over, it had been too damn long.
Not to mention stupid Duncan had the nerve to-no she wasn’t going to think about it. Courtney closed her eyes and started to drift away.
She was quickly awakened bởi her dog barking. “Duncan shut up!” figures that damn dog had to be named after someone she detested, but that was all before she met him, no point in getting peeved about it now.
The golden Labrador kept going till she couldn’t take it anymore. She threw her covers off and went to get the bark collar. She made her way to the backyard where her dog continued to bark at the night sky. “Duncan don’t make me punish you, bạn bad boy.”
“Well princess I didn’t know bạn did kinky.”
Courtney jumped and spun around to see the Duncan standing in front of her gate smiling devilishly at her in a big leather coat. “What the hell are bạn doing here?” she demanded.
Duncan shrugged a shoulder and coolly replied, “Just walking around, thinking about breaking a few laws.”
“Does that include stalking young girls and creeping around where they live?” asked Courtney still spooked bởi the fact he was in front of her house.
“Don’t flatter yourself sweetheart, I really was just walking when that dog of yours went all ballistic and stared barking at me.”
Courtney grabbed her chó cổ áo and started putting on the bark collar. “He has a good sense of judgment then.”
“So bạn named your dog after me than huh?” asked Duncan smugly.
Courtney turned to roll her eyes at him. “I named my dog Duncan way before I met you.”
Duncan snorted before and looked her up and down. “By the way nice outfit.”
Courtney couldn’t stop herself from blushing when she realized she in a pair of short shorts and a loose tang top. Usually she wore something baggy and comfy to bed, but figures she had to be wearing this when Duncan happened to be there.
She had been so busy being embarrassed that her dog tore away from her and stared running around the yard. Courtney groaned and rubbed her temples while Duncan chuckled. “You shouldn’t be putting that thing on him anyway, animal cruelty.”
“I bet bạn would be an expert in that,” she insulted already giving up and walking back inside.
“Hey where bạn going? I was actually starting to enjoy our conversation for once princess.” He actually just enjoyed looking at her but no need to let her know that.
Courtney turned around and placed her hands on her hips. “Don’t call me princess, I’m not one of your girlfriends, and I’m going to giường because I have school in the morning as opposed to some people who go in the afternoon.”
Duncan nodded already knowing she was talking about him since he either skipped class hoặc just never bothered hiển thị up. “But it’s only 9:00, why don’t bạn come with me to this party I’m heading to. bạn don’t even need to get ready, just wear that,” he đã đưa ý kiến smirking.
Courtney stopped her foot frustrated. “I’m not going to a party at this time of night with you. I have thêm important things to do.”
Duncan scoffed and prepared to walk away. “We always have thêm important things to do but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t enjoy our lives.” He started walking when Courtney suddenly walked back towards him looking pissed as hell.
“Where do bạn get off telling me I don’t enjoy my life?” Courtney yelled leaning over her fence to get closer to him. “You don’t know anything about me!”
Duncan walked closer to her until their foreheads were barely touching. “You think I don’t know you. You’re practically my opposite. bạn overwork, you’re bossy, you’re a goody-two shoes, you’re a tight ass, and on hàng đầu, đầu trang of that bạn actually go to giường early!”
Courtney continued to stare at him before she stared laughing bitterly. “I can’t believe Bridgette actually suggested that we could ever be friends.”
Duncan looked at her a little surprised. “Funny because Geoff actually suggested the same thing.”
Courtney shook her head. “Why anyone would want to be Những người bạn with bạn is beyond me.”
“Maybe because I’m smart, good looking, fun to party with,” listed off Duncan.
“Juvenile, egotistical, narcissistic, rude, oh yeah who wouldn’t tình yêu that.” Courtney had had enough and started walking away when she realized something. “Why do bạn do this to me? Why do bạn need to negate everything I say hoặc do?” she asked truly wanting to know. What was it about her that Duncan felt the need to poke and annoy.
Duncan wasn’t prepared for that câu hỏi and rustled his feet uncomfortably. “You may not believe me princess but I’m actually doing bạn a favor.”
He was right she didn’t believe him. “A favor?” she asked in a disbelieving voice.
He nodded. “ Like I đã đưa ý kiến bạn need to loosen up. I can tell, especially today, that bạn need to let loose. Really think about it and you’ll see I’m right…as always.” With that đã đưa ý kiến Duncan finally walked away leaving Courtney there speechless. She couldn’t believe what had just happened. He was trying to influence her decisions. What kind of friend was that?
Her dog started barking again. “Duncan shut up!”
She went inside and threw her body in bed. She was annoyed as always bởi him and thêm annoyed bởi what he said. “Really think about it and you’ll see I’m right…as always.”
She huffed out a breath of air and threw the covers over her head hoping she wouldn’t dream about him tonight.

He couldn’t say he felt good about himself, he felt great about himself! He couldn’t believe how close he had been to her today and how he got to see her in that cute little outfit. If anything he was happy that dog started barking at him. He left her there dumbfounded and for some reason that just really made his day.
The party didn’t even compare to how good he felt after running into Courtney. Sure he was a bit of an đít, mông, ass to her, but like he said, he was doing her a favor.
He finally made it trang chủ smelling slightly of alcohol. He hoped his mom wouldn’t wake up. His parents came from a long line of police officers which made breaking the law all the thêm fun and dangerous but a chó cái, bitch to deal with when they did find out.
He made his way to his giường and closed his eyes hoping to dream about Courtney tonight. Especially in that outfit!
