Total Drama Island: Syler's story

Chapter Thirteen: Top Chef

We walk out of the cabins and head to the camp fire.

"Morning Gorgeous." Duncan says as he hugs me from behind.

"Morning Handsome," I respond as I turn around and I kiss him. He wraps his hand around my neck and feels the one place that I forgot about. The scar.

He pulls away, but keeps his hand there.

"What's that?" He asks as he moves my hair out of the way to get a better look at it.

"Surgery" I simply respond.

Duncan looks at it more.

"It doesn't look like-" He begins, but I cut him off.

"Lets not ask so many questions." I say as I slowly pull is hand away.

"Todays challenge will test your teamwork, and your skills in the kitchen. Each team will make a 3 course meal for moi. You will all chose a head chef who will come up with the theme and be in charge. To cook, you will need ingredients. A truck arrives every morning to deliver good to cook with." Chris points to the shore

A truck backs up out of the water, and it is driven by a dolphin.

I am not going to question this place.

"You got 4 hours, starting now!"

We have already elected Geoff as head chef because he came up with the Italian theme. We grab our ingredients and we go to our side of the kitchen.

Bridgette and DJ are making pasta. Harold and Sadie are making something that I cant even pronounce, and Duncan and Courtney are working on desserts.

Really Geoff. Pair up Courtney and Duncan. Smooth move man.

"Syler, I need you to help me." Geoff says to me as he motions me over to him.

"I partnered up Duncan and Courtney because I need your help with Bridgette." Geoff says.

"You like her, don't you." I ask him.

"Yeah I do. But I don't know how to talk to her man, and I don't know if she likes me back." Geoff responds.

"Go and compliment her an how she cooks, all girls like a compliment." I tell him.

"I tried that. But she didn't seem to.... Impressed with that."

"Oh my gosh she told me about that. Well you did say she pitched a tent like a guy. That's not good, go and try again." I say to him as I motion towards Bridgette, who was working with DJ on the Pasta.

I watch Geoff walk over there next to Bridgette. "You remind me of my friends hot mom." I over hear Geoff telling Bridgette. Bridgette looks past Geoff and looks at me.

I facepalm myself ."What an idiot." I mumble under my breath.

I look back at Bridgette and I motion her to play along. I let them talk. I begin to work again as "Assistant Head Chef."

Throughout the challenge I have been over hearing the Gophers bickering non stop about Heather.

"Ahhhh! My eyebrows! Owen, go and get my make up bag from the cabin. NOW!" Heather shouts. Owen sprints out and off to the cabin.

"Everyone get back to work! We cannot lose this challenge!" Heather yells at the Gophers.

Own returns with the makeup bag, but instead of giving it to Heather, he throws it to Leshawna. Leshawna throws it to Gwen, and then Gwen aims for Trent but misses; it lands right in front of me.

I pick up the bag while Heather sticks her hand in my face; asking to give it to her. I look towards Leshawna. She points to the open fridge and signals me to throw it in.

Now I get their plan.

"What are you waiting for freak show?! Hand it over." Heather yells in my face. I glare at her and I throw the makeup bag into the fridge. She chases after it and Leshawna locks the door.

Best. Plan. Ever.

2 hours remain in the challenge. Our team is almost done while the Gophers are still struggling.

For the past hour Geoff and Duncan have been torturing Harold by stealing his clothes.

Real mature Duncan. Real mature.

"Come on guys, knock it off." I say to Duncan and Geoff.

"Whatever you say Babe." Duncan replies to me while smiling. I can't help but to smile too.

"I will be right back." I tell everybody as I walk out of the kitchen door. I take a walk to the cabin and I dig through my suit case.

I pull out a hand held mirorr and I walk over the the bigger mirror sitting in the cabin. I hold up the hand held so I could see the scar reflection in the mirror.

I am so self conscious of it and I hate how Duncan found it. It is stupid how I got it and Duncan would probably laugh about it.

And besides, what's the difference between a surgery scar and a normal one? Like really!

I close the hand held and I start to walk back to the kitchen. I open the door and the first thing I see is Duncan and Courtney flirting with each other. They are unaware that I just walked it.

I continue to walk while watching them. I reach the table and I slump down into the chair.

"Why the long face Syler?" DJ asks as he sits down next to me.

"Duncan has been flirting with Courtney this whole time." I mumble as I put my chin in my hand.

DJ looks at the two and shakes his head. "I wouldn't trust Duncan, he seems like a snake." DJ admits to me.

I look back over to Duncan. This time he sees me and waves. I shortly wave to him back.

Maybe DJ is right.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"And the Killer Bass win 21-12!" Chris announces after he tries all of the dishes.

I wasn't suprised we won, since Owen ate the Gophers ribs.

We walk back to the cabin as the Gopher head to elimination. I was walking slower than usual, and I was just not in the living mood.

Duncan turns around and starts to walk with me.

"What's the matter with my little Princess?" Duncan says as he begins to pinch my cheek.

I grab his hand from my face.

"Why don't you go and ask Courtney." I say sharply at him. I try to walk away from him but he grabs my arms.

"What is that suppose to mean?" He questions.

"Oh don't act all innocent. I saw you flirting with Courtney. In fact you were flirting with her all day!" I protest at him.

"Ok babe, appearantly you don't have the full story." Duncan says calmly. "Courtney and I couldn't stop yelling at each other all day. I wanted to wring her neck she irritated me so much. I dont like her at all."

I look up at Duncan.

"Do you believe me?" He asks while looking down at me.

"I don't know."I answer.

"How about now?" He picks me up and kisses me good night.

"Ok." I respond while laughing.
