7th grade
Courtney's P.O.V.
UHG, I still haven't gotten over the fact that Duncan kissed Gwen in the 6th grade! And that I SWORE in front of a TEACHER! Well, at least I put the blame on Duncan and Gwen, and I didn't get in trouble! :) I hope Gwen stays away from Duncan. She has lately. I really don't mind that they high five each other, I mean, come on, they're best friends, I can't stop them from doing THAT, it's natural. I guess I don't mind it when they hug. Best friends can hug. When either one of them kisses the other one's cheek, I get kinda pi- I mean ticked. When they kiss each other, I go haywire!
Well, off to my 2nd period class!
Gwen's P.O.V.
I fiddled with the small black wristband I was going to give Duncan last ano a bit when I was at my locker. I had no clue when I was going to give it to him. Maybe when something important happens. Our segundo kiss? One of us moves away? One of us is DYING? I don't know.
I shoved the wristband back in my locker, not knowing what I was gonna do with it.
- - - - - - - - - -
I went to my 7th period class. Very small class. I said hi to Mr. Pensworth (I call him pen), and hi to all my fellow class mates- Duncan, Leshawna, DJ, and Lindsay. See what I mean por small?
Pen went to the front of the class and said, "Well, guys, we all have to give our reports today. Who would like to present theirs first?"
No one volunteered.
"OK, then, how about you, Duncan?" Pen said.
Duncan rolled his eyes, gave me a wink, grabbed his papers, and went up to the front of the class. His denunciar was suckily done, and was about Shakespeare. "One of the lines in his plays was, 'To be or not to be', yadda yadda yadda..." Without knowing it I began to stare at him. He looked so cute with his piercings and his turtle-neck choker around his neck (it's like a necklace, but it clings closely to your neck. It's what he had before he had the dog collar). I put my chin on my fist and I guess I was hearing his words but I wasn't listening. Just looking at him. Staring. Like this one stalker girl named, uh, what was it? Sierra? I don't know. She stalks Cody, but I think he's into Noah or something. Meh, well, anyways, the sino rang, and I hadn't noticed, and Duncan saw I was staring at him. He snickered, "Am I too hot for you, sunshine?" I snapped out of it and said nervously, "W-what are you talking about, Duncan? Heh..." He kissed me on the cheek and whispered, "I know you like me. If you ever want to kiss me, I'd let you." and left.
I felt the place where he kissed my cheek. It felt warm. I felt warm. And fuzzy. ^-^
Pen looked at me and laughed, "Looks like someone's got a boyfriend!" I guess I like Mr. Pensworth. He's a cool enough teacher to at least not hate. "I don't know about boyfriend..." I told him as I picked up my stuff and left.
Pen's words played back in my head. Was Duncan my boyfriend? I wouldn't think so. I mean, he's been over to my house, we've been on a few dates, well, not really dates, sneaking into the filmes or something, but we've only kissed once, so I wouldn't say that we're boyfriend and girlfriend. I guess I wouldn't mind if we were. In fact, I'd be pretty happy if we were-
"STAY AWAY FROM DUNCAN, YA HEAR?!" Courtney suddenly shouted. She interrupted my thoughts. DAMN!! But that's not important now. She grabbed my collar, and slapped me across the face. OWWW, DAMN THAT HURT!! Leshawna shouted, "Courtney stop it!" Courtney hissed, "Shut it, Lequeesha!"
"LESHAWNA!" I shouted at Courtney, and pulled myself away. "It's... Leshawna..." I panted. I pressed my hand on my cheek. God, it stings.
Mrs. Johnson then came out and said with a worried tone, "Girls, what's going on out here?!"
Courtney and I didn't reply. Then, this little snitching girl, um, Heather, is it? said, "Courtney slapped Gwen!"
Mrs. Johnson's mouth opened wide and she stared at Courtney. "TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE, MS. EVANS! My word, this is unspeakable of your behavior! You've always been so nice, and you'd never..." This type of talk continued and faded off as they walked back to the principal's office.
I got up and ran to the bathroom. I saw a big red streak type mark on my cheek. I pressed a hand against it hard to make it stop stinging. I started to cry.

Duncan's P.O.V.
Well, tonight's the Super Bowl party! Steelers against the Packers! (I know, I know, it's old, but, eh, whatevs!! :D) DJ invited me to his place for the party. I'm pretty sure Harold, Leshawna, um, I think his name is Tyler, Lindsay, and Gwen are coming too. I'm glad Gwen is coming.
But, after 8th period, she came up to me crying and holding her hand to her cheek.
"What's wrong?" I asked her. "Did you stick your face into another door?" I asked sarcastically. Gwen smacked me lightly in the back of the head and sniffled, "No, Courtney slapped me. She saw you kiss my cheek."
"Courtney?! Slapped you?!" I said astonished. Dude, That's not Courtney!
"Don't worry. I'm sure you'll be fine por the Super Bowl party tonight."
"Oh, dude, I totally forgot!" Gwen cried.
"Aw, it's fine, sunshine!" I kissed her cheek.
"Dere. Bettuw?" I said in a little baby voice.
She sat there for about three seconds, then said, "Yes, yes it is."
I laughed and said, "I'll pick you up at 8. Laters, GF." and walked off. Then I basically tripped over my own shoes. Did I just call Gwen my GF?! OK, two things wrong with that.
#1: I just spoke in text talk,
and #2: I called GWEN my GF!
What does this mean? CONSCIENCE (IDK HOW TO SPELL IT!!) TELL ME WHAT THIS MEANS!
*conscience tells him something*
Oh God... I think I'm falling for Gwen.
at the Super Bowl party
Duncan called me his GF. His girlfriend. Did he really mean it?!
"Hello? Hello? Gretta? You awake?" Lindsay asked. I shook my head, coming back to reality. "Yeah, yeah I'm here. And it's Gwen, Lindsay." She rolled her eyes, said, "Whatever, Gretchen!" and left to go hug and kiss Tyler. :\
All these weird commercials kept popping up at half time and stuff. Really, REALLY weird commercials.
"OK, it's all down to this!!" Duncan said. He grinned at me. "20 bucks says the Packers are gonna win!"
"Anyone want to object?" I asked everyone.
"PACKERS GOIN' DOWN!!!" Tyler yelled. Lindsay agreed with him. DJ and Leshawna were on mine and Duncan's side. "Steelers lose, you owe me $20. Packers lose, I owe you $20. Deal?" Duncan barganed. "You're on!" Tyler said, and shook hands with Duncan.
We saw the final touchdown, and the announcer popped up saying, "There you have it, folks, the Packers have won the super bowl!"
"YESS!!" DJ, Leshawna, Duncan, and I said all at once. Duncan shouted, "WE WON!!" and hugged me tight. Then his face went all weird and he blushed, looking down at me, but then when I smiled, he smiled. Leshawna and DJ were still celebrating. Duncan let go of me and Tyler coughed up 20 bucks.
This was mais than likely the best night of my life. :)

Duncan's P.O.V.
Ha haa, yeah. I got a hug from Gwen, and 20 bucks from Tyler. Shoosh, yeah! :D
Well, everyone left after the super bowl was done. I said, "Yeah, this party was AWESOME DJ!" but I didn't thank him. Duh, I'm a delinquent. Gotta keep up my image, know what I'm sayin'? Well, I walked Gwen início (this did not help my image), and when we got to her driveway, she held my hand and she entwined our fingers. I started to blush. Hopefully it's too dark for her too see. Gwen stopped and said, "Duncan, I'm sorry, but we can't be together."
My coração broke. What?!
"Whaa...?" I stammered. "Wh-why not?"
"Courtney's gonna-"
I immediately understood why. "It's OK. I understand." I said, holding her chin with my thumb and pointer finger. I could see Gwen blushing. "No hiding that blush in this lighting, sunshine." I said with a chuckle. "Right back atchya, Dunky." Gwen said with a giggle. "Aw, shit, you saw that?" I said, covering my cheeks.
"Looks like Mr. I'm-So-Tough isn't so tough after all." Gwen snickered. "Ha, you wanna go, girly?" I practically yelled at her. "OK, then... IT'S ON!" she shouted, and tackled me into the grass. "Ouch!" I shouted. I pushed her off of me and she fell on the ground beside me. Gwen glared at me while smiling and said, "THIS MEANS WAR!!" and pounced on me. "AHHH!" I yelled as at least 120 pounds of Gwen fell on my gut. "OUFF!" I let out as she landed. She had her legs on either side of me. We looked into each others eyes. "You're soo-" Gwen started, but then a voice called, "Gwen, what are you doing?" Her eyes widened. "Oh crap. It's my mom. Duncan, GET UP!" she whispered fiercely. Wow, she's reminding me of Courtney now. I pushed her off of me and got up. "Now help ME up!" She muttered.
"You can get up on your own!" I said to her. But I helped her up and entwined our fingers. I got a tingly feeling when she did that the first time. I walked her to her door. Gwen's mom was waiting for us.
"Oh, this must be Duncan!" she said. This wasn't a fake smile, not like the kind my mom gives when I talk about Gwen. This was a real smile. Like she was actually GLAD to see me. "Ohh, you look like a nice boy." she said patting my head. "Watch the mowhawk!" I said, guarding it with my hands. "He's such a girl when it comes to his hair, you gotta get used to it." Gwen said laughing. I nudged her and handed her off to her mom. I kept our fingers entwined though. "Bye, Duncan." Gwen said, blowing me a kiss. I pretended to catch it and put my hand to my lips. Her mom waved, and almost shut the door on our hands, but I slipped my hand away before my fingers could get smashed.
Yep, I've fallen for Gwen.
