COURTNEYS pov:

Today was the day.

The day where i'd have to lie to the world, to myself.

All for a couple grand.

But I need this, i'm pretty sure Duncan needs this to. Not sure what for, but it seemed important.

FLASHBACK TO THE CAFE

D: I see your very serious about this ms.lady.

C:Well its good to have a little money, especially because i'm going to college in two months.

D: yea...

C:... So, what do you plan to use the money on?

D: Restarting my life.

Silence filled up the room, in a loud cafe.

C: Well, i hope you know, I can always pitch into help. Said with a smile

D: Nah. its way to much. I mean, i'm making money but not the amount I need to really make something of myself.

C: Hey, we all start small. Just keep being positive because eventually, you'll have it figured out. Believe me.

Duncan smiles, quickly hides it, but Courtney manages to catch a glispmse of it and smiles back

PRESENT

I look at the time,

10:45am

The interview was suppose to start at twelve, but the director wanted us to show up at eleven fifty.
Thankfully, I had already taken a shower. Now all I needed to do was my hair, makeup, and change...

OH SHIT!

I forgot to choose what to wear.

I jump off my bed and run to my closet. Pushing hanger from hanger, shoe from shoe. How did I forget the most important part?

Sweat starting to drip from my forehead, but I pushed it away.

AHA!

My black maxi dress. Long but reveals my shoulders and a bit of my chest. I go to the other side of my closet and look through my jackets, until I spotted a smell, cropped cardigan.

Perfect!

Now I just needed to put it on and deal with the rest.

DUNCAN'S POV:

I'm lying down on my couch, scrolling through instagram at some of TDI's post. Heather's making me cringe.

And ofcourse, as AL's bestfriend and heathers #1 enemy, I had to comment.

I chuckled at her comment. Messing with Heather was so funny because of how mad she gets. Even more than courtney.

Suddenly, I get a text from Courtney.

Oh shit...

"Ten minutes away! What about you?"

THE INTERVIEW!!

My fingers stumble at what to reply with,

"Um, traffic is heavy right now. Thirty minutes give or take."

"What? THe interview starts in twenty minutes."

"Ill see if there's another way."

Courtney liked your message

The truth is, I haven't even showered. Nor do I know what to wear, I'm so cooked...

COURTNEYS POV:

Snooze starts to play on the radio, and i'm not complaining. I love sza. Ut when she came out with this song, I was going through a life crisis.

FLASHBACK TO JANUARY 2023:

"Scott, please...you cant do this!" A hopeless yell came out my mouth, I knew it was pointless.

"You know what I can't do?I can't do us. I cant do you!."

That was the day I lost my spark. My eyes slowly closed.

I felt a kick to my stomach, still unaware of what was going on.

All I can remember is that...

That day...

I lost...

Everything.

BACK TO PRESENT

But I don't change it, instead, I let it play, and I hum to the lyrics.

Duncan.

NO!

I change the song immediately. There is no way ill ever fall for him again. Especially after what happened last time.
