It was the last week of summer break before senior year started, and Courtney somehow got herself stuck at a week-long rager, thrown by Geoff (naturally).

Bridgette practically begged her to go- and she didn't have any tests coming up so she decided to make her friend happy and suck it up.

The only thing was that he was there.

Her 'boyfriend'.

What did Courtney expect?
Duncan and Geoff were new-found best friends now.

Of course he'd be tagging along.

But she was sick of all the arguments they'd have- usually because of that stupid nickname he would call her: Princess, along with many others.

A week that was supposed to be relaxing felt like it was going to be a chore with him around.

But now it was too late to back down, so she should at least try to have fun.

There was no way she wasn't going to enjoy herself just because that neanderthal was attending.

The group consisted of: Bridgette and Geoff (obviously) , Gwen, Trent, Heather, Alejandro, DJ and Duncan.
So what that's telling her is that she's going to be 7th wheel. Third wheeling, three times.

Trent and Gwen still hadn't admitted their feelings to each other- but everyone knew they were so into each other- but them, of course.

At least she had DJ. He was nice.
They were good friends, but she was still dreading it since DJ was newly friends with the ogre too.

For some reason everyone was.

"Courtney? We're here!" Bridgette said as she waved a hand in front of her face, snapping her out of the train of thought.

She was in the convertible, and Bridgette was driving the girls to the hotel.
"Oh! I just zoned out..." the brunette replied, zoning out once again.

This time Heather snapped her fingers at her.
"COURTNEY!!" Bridgette, Heather and Gwen shouted in unison.
"GOD! SORRY!" she shouted back.
"I'm just a tiny bit frustrated." Courtney growled as she rubbed her eyes.

"Why?" Heather raised an eyebrow. "We're at a fucking resort! What's there to be frustrated about?!"

"Um, spending a whole week with Duncan?!" she rolled her eyes.

"Look, I know you have undying love for that punk, but just try to relax?" Gwen laughed.

"I do not!" Courtney furrowed her eyebrows, about to shout.

"Court," Bridge smiled. "what Gwen means to say, is that you should use this time to unwind- instead of being annoyed by him, okay?"

Courtney exhaled sharply. "Fine."

As they reached the reception, the boys met them.
"Hey, babe!" Geoff exclaimed as he ran over to Bridgette and they started sucking face.
Gwen made a gagging noise.

"Couples..." she muttered.
"As if you don't want to be doing that with Trent." Courtney whispered at her.
She just rolled her eyes but she was blushing.
"She so wants him." Heather laughed.

She immediately noticed when Duncan pulled up.
He had bags under his eyes- most likely from fatigue.
He had a white V-neck on and sweatpants. Courtney had to admit that he looked attractive. That shirt really showed off his biceps and his abs too...
