Duncan watched the fuming brunette marched away bringing her tension with her. Duncan shrugged and turned to Geoff, who's eyes were wide. "Dude, that was a pretty heated conversation." He gestured, putting a hand on his buddy's shoulder.

Duncan rolled his eyes, and brushed Geoff's hand off his shoulder started to walk the opposite direction. "Whatever man. If Courtney doesn't want to be with me, than that's fine with me." He and Geoff walked into their cabins, as Duncan accidentally slammed the screen door behind him.

Geoff gave him a knowing look. "What happen to all those amazing things you said about her. I've never seen you like this before, especially about a girl." Exclaimed Geoff, as he watched Duncan clasp on his bunk carelessly.

Duncan became uneasy, as he struggled to come up with a good excuse for all those gushy and mushy sweet things he said to the boys. Duncan didn't know what possessed him to say those things or act that way. He and Courtney practically hated each other, but still there was this feeling between them, that he just couldn't explain. That feeling began the dia they first met, and it was now taking it's tole on Duncan.

"I don't know man, I don't wanna talk right now. I'm tired, so I'm hitting the hay." And with that said, Duncan was gone like that.

Geoff sighed. Everybody knew what this was between the duo. Duncan and Courtney were the only ones who didn't know it, which was utterly ridiculous, because despite their snidely behavior, they both secretly felt something much more.

Courtney rammed into the girl's cabin, exciting everyone. Everybody who was doing anything, stopped, and watched the prep go on her rampage through the cabin. Courtney stomped around in circles cursing for no apparent reason, yelling at...really no one.

Bridgett notice Courtney's furious act, and tried to console her. "Court, you really need to calm down before you hurt somebody, or mais importantly, yourself. "Bridgett insisted slowly her approached at a seguro distance.

Courtney still did not cease. "Uh! Why does he think I like him?! I can't stand him! He's so infuriating. Why would a intelligent young girl like me have any liking for a neanderthal like Duncan! He's a criminal for crying out loud! And the thing is I really don't know my feelings for him. I mean we kissed, but that doesn't mean we have to be together, or I like him. That only means I was as crazy and immature as him to stoop down to his level and actually lipped mold with him. I was brain-washed!

"It's just so frustrating! I hate being this way! I'm so certain about my situations, and now...UH! It's Duncan! He makes me stupid por even looking at me. Why must his baby blue eyes be so beautiful! Gah! I feel so disgusting! I'll I have to burn my lips now to get rid of his taste, because I still have that horrid taste of ginger on my lips.

"What the hell am I say!? What entranced me to kissed that Juvenile Delinquent!?"

Courtney took a deep breath, and almost passed out. Everybody was amazed. Was it even humanly possible to have a rant as long as that? And usually her rants were twice as long!

When Bridgett knew it was safe, she went and took her hand and lead her to her bunk. She watched as Courtney manage to catch her breath. "Are you about done?" Courtney was about to start another rant, when Bridgett quickly covered her mês with her hand. "That pergunta was rhetorical." She said, blankly.

Once she released her hand from Courtney's month, Courtney began to speak. "Bridgett, I'm sorry. I just needed to get that out." She said, rubbing her aching head.

Bridgett patted her other hand, and nodded. " I know, I know." She paused, examined the look on Courtney's face. "Courtney...what's up? What did Duncan do?"

Courtney made a sad frown. "It's not what he did. it's what he said. He said 'I should just confess that I like him', but I hate him. Just because yesterday, we kissed, and it wasn't even out of impulse." Courtney exclaimed. "I don't know what I am really upset about. That the fact that everyone thinks I like Duncan, or the fact that he might be...be right."

Bridgett gave Courtney a hug. "Courtney, you don't have to worry. It's okay if you in love-"

Courtney pushed her away. "But I'm not in love, Bridgett!" She snapped. "That's the thing. I don't amor Duncan, I don't even like him. Even you believe that lying bastard! You and everybody try to trick me into liking a pig like Duncan, well no, just because I'm not used to thing kind of stuff doesn't mean you can take advantage of me. I thought you were my friend." With that said, Courtney marched out the cabine door, leaving her best friend speechless and hurt.

Duncan's eyes popped open. He sprung off his bed. He looked at his clock.

12:09.

"Okay, late, but also early." He smugly whispered to himself. Duncan gave up on his sleep, besides-when your used to running from the cops dia and night-who needs sleep.

He decided, to walk off the sleep. It was dark, but the moon lit up the whole island quite well. He walked around for a while, than turned to the beach. Something about the waves, just relaxed him for some reason. Odd..I know.

The relaxation was interrupted por a disturbing noise. The noise was loud and angry, it almost sounded like...Princess! Duncan squinted his eyes to focus on the screaming object and it turned out his predictions were right. It was Princess!

"...Okay, yes I might have never experience this kind of feeling before, but that doesn't mean I have feelings for Duncan."

"Feelings?" Duncan asked, causing Courtney to quickly turn around.

She was first frighten but than furious. "What are doing here at this time of night?" She asked.

"I could ask the same question."

"I asked first."

"I asked second."

Courtney glared at him, and groaned in frustration. "If you must know, I needed to walk off the stress you've been putting on me." She explained, cold-heartily.

Duncan scoffed. "Princess, you put stress on yourself. You make things bigger than what they are."

"Well, your the one who keeps repeating non-stop about how I like you. Which is utterly ridiculous!" She lied.

Duncan only smirked. "Is that why you specifically said you had feelings for me." He said, taking a step closer.

Courtney's coração skipped a beat. She had to come up with another lie, and quick. "I did no such-"

"Yeah ya' did." And with that said, he smashed his lips onto hers, quickly wrapping his arms around her to try and reduce her escape.

Courtney struggled to get free from his embrace, but it's like Duncan's arms locked around her body. It was only a matter of time before Courtney would be taken over por the bliss of his kiss, and that's exactly what happened.

Soon, Courtney kissed back. Two minutos went by, and the two finally separated. Courtney was first in a sensation, but than a again, like the kiss never happened. She pushed away from him, and started tearing up. "You see! I don't get that, what is that."

Duncan thought about it. Courtney was right. He always wondered what this feeling between him and Courtney was.

"Duncan, I'm confused. Please, I can't take this anymore, what is this?" She pleadingly asked.

And the answer popped up. It was all so obvious. This explained all there confusion. It made him blush, but didn't hesitate to deliberate "It's Love." He confessed.

Courtney looked him, puzzled. "But, this couldn't be. The fighting, and insults, that is not love?"

Duncan grinned, started caressing her cheek.. "I know this sounds kinda cheesy, but the first time I saw you...I can't say I felt anything less."

Courtney caught his glance, and smiled. "Duncan that is so sweet. "Courtney said, before bringing Duncan into another kiss.

The moon was shinning ever so bright in sky, letting it's gloomy and amazing light sprinkle down on the wonderful but odd couple. The waves moved with even mais flawlessness than ever, and Duncan and Courtney felt ever so perfect, now that they were together.

They fought, loved, hated. But they can honestly say it was nothing mais than...

Love.


Fin.
