Total Drama High

Chapter 2. Golden

Gwen walked the halls with her best friend Courtney. Gwen ran her fingers through her black bob cut with midnight blue streaks. She wore a dark top with black netting sleeves. Dark green was splashed from here to there. She wore tight black leggings and black boots that tied up to her knees. Courtney had very tan skin with freckles over her pointed nose. She had shoulder length brunette hair. She wore her gray vest over white blouse, like she did most of the time. Her green kakis went past her knees. Her gray sandals slid across the floor.
Gwen had a pretty good school life. She had great friends like Courtney and Leshawana who were always there for her. Also, a super kind, cute, boyfriend Trent. They were so into each other, it was crazy!
" See you next period Gwen," Courtney called as she slipped into her Civics class. Gwen walked to her Calculus class. One of the many classes she had with Trent. She strutted through the filled halls as the students piled into each one's class. As Gwen swerved her way through the crowd, but bumped into Duncan.
"Sup, Pasty," Duncan said helping her up. Gwen rolled her eyes. Courtney despised Duncan, or at least that's what she wanted everyone to think. Gwen was friends with Duncan, but usually steered way clear of him, since Trent didn't like him.
"Hey Duncan, shouldn't you be in class?" Gwen asked seeing that the halls were cleared. Duncan laughed, did she know him?
"I could ask you the same thing, I'm cutting class if you want to, you can come." Gwen rubbed her arm, she promised Trent she wouldn't go anywhere with Duncan, he didn't trust that delinquent. Duncan held out his hand. Gwen was so confused. She loved Trent, Duncan was only her friend, that's what she wanted. Duncan rolled his eyes and began to leave without her.
" Wait," Gwen called after him, he stopped," where are you going?"
" Wherever we want."
" We?"
" Your coming, aren't you pasty?" Gwen smiled and grabbed his hand. They ran through the halls heading to the main exits to the school. Gwen giggled, but Duncan covered her mouth. He had fair skin with a set of ocean blue eyes. He had black hair with a green Mohawk in the center. He had a few piercing on his nose and ears. He wore a long sleeved shirt; yellow sleeves and a black torso with his signature icon. A pair of high tops of red were covered by a loose pair of blue ripped jeans.
" Trent is going to kill me," Gwen mumbled to herself as the two raced to Duncan's motorcycle.
" Why?" Duncan asked, still gripping Gwen's pale hand, slipping his car keys out of his pocket.
" He doesn't like me hanging out with you."
" Why?"
" He thinks you're a bad influence, and thinks you'll cause us to break up."
" Paranoid much, me and you are just friends, I tell him that every chance I get, I hope I don't cause you two losers to break up," Duncan said, smiling. Gwen punched his arm. The two of them began to wrestle on the concrete. Gwen eventually won, pinning Duncan to the ground.
" Gotcha, now I get to choose where we go," Gwen panted, after a heated wrestle match.
" I demand a rematch!" Duncan laughed, picking the both of them up.
" Ahem..." Courtney said crossly. Gwen and Duncan turned around, startled.
" Court, oh my, what are you doing here?" Gwen asked removing his arms from her waste.
" Looking for you two crooks, why are you cutting class," Courtney questioned," let me guess, Duncan talked you into it?" They both nodded guiltily.
" Princess-" Duncan began but Courtney cut off.
" What did I say about calling me that?"
" Listen, don't tell on Gwen, just on me, I convinced her."
" She was faced with temptation, and failed, you both are in trouble, as student council president and hall monitor, you both must return to class and have detention today after school."
" Court, I have a date with Trent after school!" Gwen said. Courtney shook her head.
" Well, I'll be happy to tell Trent that DUNCAN was the cause of you missing your date and-"
" Courtney, I'll tell him, just give us the slips," Gwen almost cried, not in front of Duncan. They both walked back to class.
" Sorry Pasty," Duncan said as they headed through the halls.
" It's okay, Courtney is just not going to let me hear the end of it, neither is Trent," Gwen sighed looking at the door of her Calculus class.
" Sorry again," Duncan replied. Gwen sighed once again and entered the room. Mr. Buster and the class pivoted their heads.
" Nice of you to join us Gwen, please get the notes from someone," Mr. Buster said impatiently. Gwen nodded and sat next to Trent.
" Where were you?" Trent demanded, passing his notes to her.
" Long story, but I can't make our date tonight."
" What, Why?"
" Detention."
" Let me guess, Duncan?"
" Wow, this lecture is really interesting, who knew Calculus could be so intriguing?" Gwen said, trying to avoid the lecture she was about to get from Trent. Trent breathed heavily out his nose, like he did when he was angry.
" Trent, Gwen, would you like to continue your conversation in Principal Mclean's office?" Mr. Buster asked peering to the two. They shook their heads, Gwen already had detention. Mr. Buster turned back around.
The class wouldn't end soon enough. Gwen rushed out of the room, heading to Gym. She felt a fair hand on her shoulder. Trent!
" Gwen, you really have to stop hanging out with him he-"
" Trent, I like YOU, not Duncan so you can stop being jealous, I'll make it up to you by treating you to a picnic in the park tomorrow."
" I'm not jealous." Gwen looked at Trent with a face. Trent was jealous but wouldn't admit to it. Gwen smiled and leaned in to kiss him, to Trent's surprise. Fireworks went off in his head, pure bliss. They wrapped their arms around each other, pressing their chests together, only inches apart. Trent wrapped his arms around her waist as she placed her arms on his shoulders.
" Ahem..." Courtney interrupted Gwen again. They unlocked their lips, and before Trent went to the boys locker room, they quickly pecked at each other's lips. Trent and Gwen hugged and then slowly let go. Gwen smiled, that was rare, when she wasn't with Trent.
" Court, you can lecture me now if you want, I'm prepared," Gwen said sarcastically. Courtney had a stern look of disappointment mixed with rage.
" How could you cut class, especially with Duncan, you know all of us disapprove of him and another thing-"
" Court, we all know you like him."
" I do not like him!"
" Yes you do."
" Not only do I not like him, I can't stand him, he's rude, he's rebellious, and totally annoying... I'm going to go change."
" She likes him..." Gwen said to herself heading into the girls locker room.
In the boys locker room, Duncan began changing into his gym clothes as Trent walked over to him. Duncan rolled his eyes, pulling up his shorts over his boxers.
" You and me need to have a chat, delinquent," Trent demanded. Duncan looked up, slipping on a tee shirt.
" Trent listen to me-" Duncan tried to explain but Trent cut off.
" Stay away, far away from my girlfriend, understand?"
" Don't tell me what to do guitar boy, and also I have no interest in Gwen other than being her friend."
" Sure, sure."
" Dude, I'm serious, she's into you trust me."
" So you're saying if Gwen asked you out you'd say no." Duncan thought of what to say. He could be honest, or lie to his face. Duncan would obviously say yes, but Trent and him were skating on thin ice already. Trent was becoming impatient. " Yes or No?" He demanded. Coach Carter blew his whistle.
" Boys, time to run laps around the gym!" He yelled. The girls of the gym class were already jogging. Trent quickly ran up to Gwen, who smiled as he pulled up to her side. Courtney ran ahead, giving them their space, accidentally running right next to Duncan. She moaned. Duncan loved making her angry and annoyed.
" Hey Princess, couldn't keep away?" Duncan asked. Courtney rolled her eyes. She slipped up her short sleeved lacrosse shirt.
" Hardly, I just want to give Trent and Gwen some space, thanks to you, they could be in shark water," Courtney lectured. Duncan did feel bad, but did Princess need to know that? Nah.
