Courtney

I walked into the classroom Duncan requested a few minutes late. The first thing I saw entering the room was Duncan sitting there anxiously. It had been two weeks of school and he had already given me a headache. Talking to him after the breakup was not going to be easy. His teal eyes studied my look as I walked in. It was nothing special, I was just in a pink version of the clueless outfit. My favourite movie, by the way, after the breakfast club. Always enjoy an 80s classic.

Anyway, I walked in to see an anxious Duncan. "Oooo, a nervous Duncan Trello spotted in the wild! Never seen before!" I joked mimicking an australian explorer voice. "Haha, very funny". He said in a monotone voice. "Listen can we talk?" He asked while motioning me to sit. I did as he requested, dusting the seat first. "Well what else is there to say" I replied icily. "You cheated, broke my heart and thats it." He sighed as he rubbed the back of his muscular neck. "Listen Court-" "No, you listen to me". I said pointing to my heart with my index finger. "YOU slept with Gwen, with absolutely no reason, YOU freaked out when I turned down a friend who happened to be a male, YOU acted like a jealous neandrathal and YOU never appreciated anything I did for YOU!"

"Princess-"
"I'm not finished. What if you got her pregnant huh? What would you have done then? Cover it up and never tell your loyal girlfriend? What if you got her sick? Given her an STD? Did you even use protection? Did you even care that your girlfriend was driving around the bend, disturbing our friends, disturbing your PARENTS? And the things that hurt the most, were the names you called me. Slut. Whore. Bitch. As if I would EVER cheat on you. And even after you called me those disgustng and vile names, I STILL tried to make things right with you. I made an effort, took time out of my day, for you to just to go on and have sex with the girl on the side!" I yelled at him while a single tear rolled down my now rosy cheek.
He just stared at me. No words. His crystal irisis took note of every move I did. Every word I said he took it in. I breathed heavily after pouring my guts out.
"Oh and by the way" I continued "you were my last hope. My parents dont care about me. Everyone must think, oh poor rich girl, she has good grades, a massive house and lots of friends, when in reality, my parents are always on buissness trips, nothing will ever impress them. It doesnt matter if I bring home a punk like you or someone rich and luxorious, they still will never be satisfied, and apparently, never will you".

By this time I was sobbing. Tears on my food tray. Salty warm water manipulating my body as it dropped down my chin. I just sat there. Breathing in and out. While he just stood there in awe. I noticed there was
only 20 minutes of lunch left by glancing at my designer watch.

"I better be heading out now". I said awkawardly holding up a shaky thumbs up.

"courtney, wait." said duncan.

She stopped in the doorway.

"What?"

"Courtney, I've loved you since the first time you stepped in this school. I don't know why I would be so in love with someone who is a bitch and knows it, but it's because I can't live without you. The last few weeks of summer felt like I was constantly picking at a scab, like I've been drowing, like I've been burnt alive. And the reason is that you haven't talked to me. Dont ever let your parents make you feel alone! You have Heather, Bridgette, Alejandro, Geoff and me. I love you and thats all that matters! And now that we're seniors, we can have another chance. So can we atleast be friends, it doesn't have to be anything more,  but i'm begging, nothing less. Gwen is gone. That wasn't real, we were! You're like a drug, and I don't think i'll ever get tired of you."

He stood there. Studying her face for an answer. She just stood there in shook. But out of the shock, a smile crept up on her face, a genuine smile. And then, she slowly walked up to him, cupped his face, and kissed him. A special kiss. It lasted a good five minutes. Maybe six. Who cares. In that moment,
they felt free.
