Courtney

I almost cried during the car ride to school. All I could do was recite the whole breakup. I snapped back into reality and trampled onto the footpath. I glanced up and almost threw up of what I saw.
There they were. Duncan and gothy swapping tongues at the front gate.  I nearly made it to the front doors without bursting out in tears until Heather  catched  up to me. She looked as if she had run a mile. Of course I heard her yelling my name in the distance but I simply ignored it. I knew she would ask me what's wrong and I would start sobbing until lunchtime.
"Courtney! I've been yelling your name like six times how did you not hear me?!" I glanced up at her with a monotone expression. "Sorry I must've not heard" I coldly replied back. We walked in an awkward silence before my failed attempt to open the doors. This must've been dramatic because the second my hand slipped I cussed out almost everything even Duncan.

"Court are you ok?" Heather genuinely seemed concerned. "Yeah why?" I said back. We walked through the school corridor for a minute or so until Bridgette ran over to us. We've been a trio since the second we stepped into this crap school. "Hey Court hey Heath!" Bridgette happily said. Heather shot her a look with the additional knife to head action while shaking her head. Bridgette quirked an eyebrow but soon read the situation. "Wait what's wrong Court? Who did this? Am I going to arrange the bat signal or-" "I don't know Bridge, I've been trying to get it out of her as soon as I saw her at the front doors" Heather answered with a confused expression. "Courtney you know we won't tell anybody." Chimed in Bridgette with a sincere tone.
I took a breath in and gave them the short answer.
"Duncan. Gwen. Cheating. Pain."  
"You mean GOTHY and YOUR boyfriend?"
Heather was shocked. As if she was ready to commit a crime. Knowing her she would.
"You better mean ex boyfriend!" Said Bridgette.
"Yes! Ex boyfriend." I reassured the duo.

"I just can't believe this." Went Bridgette.
"Trust me, neither did I" I said.
"Wait so that's why they were basically giving us a free tongue dance at the gate!"

Oh Heather was angry. Very angry. Just in time the forbidden duo walked in. "Speak of the devil." Bridgette stated. The two were hand in hand, all smiles, laughing about something I probably wouldn't understand.
"HEY! Spider twins! Too bad you two are the new hot couple, I would of thought you were siblings!" yelled Heather.
I observed Gwen's face. I could not see an inch of remorse. Same goes for Duncan.

"Oooo a girl, I'm so terrified" mimicked Duncan as he strolled with Gwen across the corridor.
"YOU SHOULD BE!" Heather yelled to their backs. "Heather, I think that's enough now" Bridgette said to her taking down her best friends fist. 
"Let's get to class" I said in a somewhat sad tone. Heather and Bridgette shared a look before catching up to me.

We soon made it to the new class happy to find out we had the same home room. "This may be an okay year" i thought to myself.

I studied the new environment. A nice enough looking teacher, Ms Dalton, having a conversation with a blonde girl with eyes as blue as crystals, Lindsay. She seemed to cluelessly nod her head to everything Ms Dalton said. Hm. She's a special one that's for sure. Some ginger nerd with the name Harold showing off I'm guessing karate moves to this chill girl Leshawna? I've had a couple of classes with her over the years, she's an admirable girl with a fun attitude. She seemed to playfully roll her eyes at the ginger loser. There were some other friendly people in the room like DJ, the sweetest guy you'll ever meet, Geoff, the party dude, Bridgette's boyfriend and the guy who's only explanation for an answer is "okay dude/dudette" in his beach boy lingo, but a very nice guy. Tyler who is just a clumsy idiot. Alejandro who was having a conversation with oh no, Duncan. This will fun. However, Gwen was no where to be found.

"Alright students, this will be THE best year you will ever experience! You all probably know me but I'm ms Dalton, your new favourite teacher, who also teaches Mathematics, History and Social Studies, and Italian!" She continued to ramble on about useless things while I took a good look at her. My new teacher seemed around 30-40 years old, pretty and wore glasses. Pretty basic I guess.

She went over the rules of the classroom and how we are held accountable for the mistakes we make. Geez, tough luck for Duncan. After that we got assigned seats.
Thank God I wasn't next to the nightmare himself but instead Leshawna, Lindsay, Alejandro and Bridgette. Cool.
