Dangerous Love

Chapter 6

The day went on so slowly, all I could think about was how Duncan pressed his lips against mine. I closed my eyes and could see him smiling at me. My last class of the day was gym, and as much as I hate physical education, I walked in with my head held high, a huge smile on my face. Once I was in the girls locker room, I walked over to my locker. I unlocked the code and took out my gym shirt. I take off my regular one and pit my sports bra on top of my regular one, taking the regular bra off. After that I put my gym shirt in. It's a plain teal t shirt, and I hear an "ahem" I turn and its Courtney.

"Uh Hey Courtney, what's up?" I ask nervously.
"I was just with Duncan, and he had teal lipstick in his lips, the same brand that matches yours. Care to explain?" Crap, she knew. I began to keep getting dressed, seeing if I could ignore her. She sighs and then gets dressed for gym. We exit the girls changing room together and Heather and her mindless mentally challenged friends begin to cackle evil laughs. I seriously can't believe Courtney actually considers them her friends.

"What's so funny?" Courtney demanded.
"Just seeing weird goth girl trying to pull off shorts, it makes you wanna laugh." One of Heather minions snarl and give an evil grin.
"Why are you guys so cruel?" Courtney asks. They all look surprised. Courtney knew better than to challenge Heather.
"You know Courtney, we could always kick you out of the group. Everyone is replaceable." Heather says with pure evil. I think Satan himself would whimper towards Heather.
"Then consider me out. I'm tired of your mean and pointless remarks towards innocent people." Courtney states and she grabs my wrist and we head towards the other side of the gym. There stand Leshawna with her admirer, Harold, Zoey, Mike, DJ, Bridgette, and Duncan.

"That was some brawl you had with Heather over there." DJ states as he sees us appear to the group.
"Well that's the last one I deal with her." Courtney states and let's go of my wrist. I rub it repeatedly and see that she left claw marks on my pale skin.
"WHOO HOO GIRL!" Leshawna cheered and gave Courtney a hug. Harold then goes on how Courtney maybe in big trouble because Heather is like Wawaknawkwa High's Regina George. De shrugged and talked with Bridgette. I could see Duncan just staring at me, then he did that little "come here" thing with his finger. I walked over to him and he smiled.

"What do you want?" I ask, but not in a moany kind of way.
"I mean I want your lips on mine again and to do things I can't talk about with you. Oh yeah and I also want to marry you." He says. I look down to try and hide my face, but it doesn't work. I knew I should've grown out my hat so that it could actually be long to hide my face. Duncan smiles and grabs my Ching with one hand and pulls me in with his other. He slowly whispers to me. "So how about we do those things we can't talk about after school?" I want to say yes, my hold heart is saying yes, but my common sense kicks in.

"As much as I want to say yes, I'm afraid that's a no can do. You have a girlfriend."
"And you have a nosy little brother, but you think that's going to stop me?" He smirks and I push away from him.
"Duncan please, don't make me hurt Courtney's feelings. She just stood up for me, and to me that means a lot."
"So the guy who has been by your side since day one is a no, but a girl who manages to stop hating you and do what's right is a yes?!?" He says and storms off. Courtney walks up to me and asks what happened.

"Oh it's nothing important." I say to her, but Courtney being one of the smartest girls in school, knew better than that.
"Oh I definitely think its something. Believe it or not Gwen, I'm actually a human being." She said sarcastically. I could tell her everything, the entire truth right now and that's when I began to panic, Courtney could ruin my life, even though she was out of the popular group, she had connections. I smile weakly.
"Look it's my time of the month and I think I just made Duncan a little bit annoyed." I lie. Well it wasn't an entire lie, I did annoy Duncan, that part was true. Courtney shrugged and soon warm ups came. This week we were doing dance. I sighed and listened what Mr. Hatchet had to say.
