15- Sweden Sour

Logan's POV

"Why is she so happy?" Owen whispered to the guys as I popped a first-class cookie into my mouth.

"It might be because of the Amazon's elimination," Alejandro responded in a whisper, carefully observing me.

"It feels like all my troubles got pushed out of the plane," I hummed, picking up another delectable chocolate chip treat from the plate. "Well, at least 66.6% of them, anyway."

I glared at Duncan, crumbling the cookie into the palm of my hand.

//Logan's Confessional

"Ever since Gwen and Courtney were booted from the show, I've never felt more liberated. But that little punk still needs to be dealt with. Though, I'll let him stay. For now." [smirks] //

"Ugh, I'm freezing," Heather muttered as Chris approached us in a winter coat.

We had a rough landing in a place that resembled the freezing cold Yukon. Without any jackets, we were shivering in our shoes in the subzero temperatures.

"Welcome to Sveden!" Chris greeted in an accent, with scattered snowflakes falling behind him.

"Where are the jackets you promised us in the Yukon?" Heather snapped, standing there in just her halter top and shorts. I'm so glad I'm wearing jeans.

"Um, I worked really hard on that accent. It would've been nice if someone acknowledged it," Chris retorted.

"Dude, it's freezing out here," Duncan spoke up, his teeth clenched.

"Sweden, anyone? Hello!" Chris grinned, gesturing to the new frosty surroundings. We shivered in response, causing him to groan and walk away. "Ugh. Ingrates."

As I stood there with chattering teeth, I mustered the courage to face Duncan. It felt like the biting cold of the Swedish winter only intensified the tension between us. "Okay. Let's hear it," I said, my breath visible in the frigid air.

Duncan raised an eyebrow, seemingly unfazed. "Hear?" he questioned, his tone laced with curiosity.

I scoffed at his response. "Your apology?" I retorted, my voice filled with a mix of anger and hurt.

I deserved to know why Gwen and Duncan had exchanged that kiss in the bathroom. After all, he had claimed to still have feelings for me just hours before.

"For?" Duncan's question hung in the air, and I was taken aback. How could he not understand the reason behind my frustration?

"For what!?" I exclaimed, my astonishment evident. "For kissing Gwen!"

Cody, standing a few feet away, let out a sigh as I rubbed my arms, trying to generate some warmth amidst the cold.

"I already told you, I never kissed Gwen!" Duncan replied, his tone sour and defensive. Cody's sigh in the background seemed to echo my own exasperation. "She's the one who kissed me!"

"But you kissed her back!" I accused, my arms folding harshly across my chest. "And right after you told me you still had feelings for me!"

"I never kissed Gwen, Logan!" Duncan's voice rang out, filled with conviction, but I couldn't shake the doubt that gnawed at me.

"Dah!" Cody blurted, his frustration bubbling over.

"Stop breathing so loudly!" Duncan and I screamed simultaneously. Cody cowered in fear, his own sighs silenced.

I swear, he's still hung up on his wannabe goth girlfriend getting the boot. I will never understand why Cody had such strong feelings for that betrayer.
