The Bet

Chapter 5

(Duncan's POV)

Me and Gwen were having lunch at subway.

"I like that movie where the ghosts gang up with the aliens and enslave all of the people and torture them and behead them and stuff." I said taking a bite.

"Oh my god same!" She told me. Then her phone rang.
"Wait a sec." She said as she answered the call. I scrolled through my instagram(follow me @baesicdrama ) and kept eating my sandwich as I waited for her conversation to end.

"Duncan?" She said.

"Hmm." I replied as I kept scrolling down my feed.

"My friend was wondering if I could meet her tomorrow, and she's bringing her boyfriend with her. So like, do you want to go? As friends though." She said the last part blushing.

"Sure." I replied.

"Great. He said yeah." She said into her phone. I took a sip from my coke and waited for her to end the call.

"Cool. I've got to go now. I have to go to my mum's, so bye. See you tomorrow, I'll text you the details." She said standing up and walking out the door.

I casually got up and exited the building. I drove over to Courtney's house, to give my girlfriend a little surprise.

"Duncan? What are you doing here?" Asked Courtney.

"Surprising you." I said stepping closer to her. She put her hands on my face and pulled me down to her lips, making us kiss.

"Guess it worked." She said after breaking apart.

I stepped inside and admired the interior.

"Nice place." I tell her.

"Thank you. Are you free tomorrow?" She asks.

"Sorry, I'm going out with a friend." I replied.

"Okay then." She said and sat down beside me on the sofa.

I went to the café that Gwen told me to go, and waited for her outside.

"Hello stranger." She said when she came up from behind me.

"Hey Gwen." I said and we walked inside. She eyed the café carefully as she tried to locate her friend. Once she saw her she dragged me all the way to a table.

"Courtney, hi!" She said. The brunette turned to face us and when I recognised who she was my face went probably paler than Gwen's.

"Duncan? Is this the friend you'd rather spend time with than me? Wait, are you cheating on me?" She asked with such strong anger in her voice.

"No princ-"

"Whatever. We are so done." She said grabbing her bag and stomping out.

(Courtney's POV)

I ran away as far as I could and tried to hold back the forming tears in my eyes. After one escaped, a whole waterfall emerged down my face.

I felt so, worthless. Scott had dumped me a week ago because he met someone else, now Duncan cheated on me with Gwen.

Why do they all do this to me? Is it cause I'm too fat, too ugly? Am I that bad of a person that everyone seems to find someone better?

These thoughts filled my brain as I cried my heart out. I'm not the kind to cry over a guy, but twice in less than two weeks kind of gives you an excuse to do so.

"Are you okay?" I heard a male voice say.

I raised my head that was hidden in my knees and saw two beautiful green eyes looking down on me. I wiped my face to attempt looking more presentable, but we both know how much of a mess I looked.

"Yeah." I said trying to calm myself down.

"You sure don't look like it. And I don't usually find pretty girls like you crying on the streets for no reason." He said, making me form a small smile.

"Thanks." I said tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.

"I'm Trent, by the way." He said.

"Courtney." I replied.

"Well, Courtney. Do you mind coming with me to Starbucks?" He said stretching out his hand.

"Sure." I said taking it and standing up.

[ A / N ]

Hello there children, I have updated the story after what feels like forever.

Today in school we had to write a letter to our Year 11 selves (basically for when we're 16) and I wrote a paragraph telling myself to re watch all seasons of Total Drama and the Ridonculous Race because I don't have a life. In three years time I'll probably be cringing so bad while reading that letter and it will haunt me forever.

Anyways thanks you all for reading my book and stories overall, and all your votes and comments just encourage me to write some more. Thanks to everyone who actually cares and bothers reading this.

QOTC: Do you ship Trentney?

AOTC: Kind of yeah.
