Total Drama Contender - Mistaken Contender

Chapter 8 - One Step Forward

Another early morning walk and the silence of the woods was just the music I craved the most in the morning. "Look out from above!" What the hell?!?! Chris was in the air parachuting down to where I was standing. "That was actually kinda cool Chris, but what's up with the extreme landing?" "Breakfast, bonfire, three minutes. Also try to keep up the spicy drama, views are climbing even higher than we thought!" Patting me on the back he walked away but I didn't know what he really meant by drama. Walking to the bonfire I looked down at the green cloth around my arm and couldn't help but feel a bit sad, Izzy was crazy and always keen on tying me up but she was fun. Reaching the bonfire and deciding to sit and wait for the rest I thought about the next challenge but was shortly awoken from my thoughts by footsteps. Seems everyone was shortly behind me and started to find a seat or spot. "Hey (Y/N), up early again?" "Yep, Took a walk and enjoyed the morning. Mind if I ask you something Trent?" Trent looked a little shocked but nodded his head. "Sure, ask away. Though I don't know how helpful I can be." "Girls. I'm sure you have plenty of experience, maybe you can tell me the meaning behind this." Showing him the armband I couldn't help but feel worried by his confused look. "What is that? Almost looks like something from Izzys skirt." "Thats exactly where it's from. She said since she was leaving, she wouldn't be able to win me over. Said it was to mark me and make sure the others didn't get any ideas." Trent rubbed his eyes, shaking his head all the same as he look almost scared by my words. "Look... How do I say this so you will understand? Didn't you ever have a girl crush on you or you have a crush?" No I've never had something like that, School and family life are the only things that ever mattered. "No. I don't stick out much and I try to blend into nothing.... I really haven't done that since day one of being on this show though." "Yeah I have to agree with you on that. Have to say you seem to have caught many eyes and sometimes that can seem like a curse, point in proof." Pointing to my armband I think I'm starting to finally understand what he was saying. "Oh no, I don't think this is good." "Hahaha, Sorry man but that's how things seem to be running for you." Did I perhaps bring something back from that cursed island?

Today's challenge was a deer hunt... but as campers as deer and the hunters. Lucky for me I wasn't the one to be shot at but instead I was shooting along with Harold, Bridgette, and Geoff. If Chris knew anything about my family then he wouldn't have put me on the hunter side "Yo (Y/N), got any experience hunting?" "Yes but it's not about the art of hunting but instead..." Taking aim at a few leftover bean cans from the morning breakfast I took them all out with great aim. "Shooting, was taught how to handle a rifle at a young age. These deer don't stand a chance against me, I'll take my chances alone. See you all later." Taking off into the woods I started to scan for tracks but nothing was being shown, Never could track but taking the shot was always easy... Though I always missed on purpose. Taking a walk through the woods just like early this morning I couldn't help but notice if I didn't find someone then I wouldn't be all that helpful... Wait, I'm worried about being helpful? Coming to realization with my current attitude I was stopped by a sudden twitch from a bush and not waiting I took a shot clean into it. "Ow! You got me, please don't shoot again." Cody jumped out from the bush with some blue on his shirt. "Sorry Cody! Kinda went robotic when I heard you. Guess this means the Killer Bass are on the scoreboard for now." "Yeah, I suppose so? Anyway that's not really important, you have to tell me how you get all these girls to follow after you!" Oh no. I don't do anything, in fact I would rather them leave me alone but nothings worked so far. I've just been myself and that doesn't seem to scare them off which is starting to make life more hard for me. "I don't do anything special, I act as myself and nothing else. These girls are just.... crazy." Cody seemed to be in thought from my response by the look on his face. "Nothing special, act yourself? Hmmm.... Never tried that. I'll try it out and mark my words, I'll be bagging one of these girls for myself. I'm off now to hide again, see you later (Y/N)." Cody ran off quickly before I could get a word in and I was left thinking about what he said. "Never just acted like yourself? So he always plays it up like a playboy? Feel bad for you Cody.
