Trent's POVThese past two weeks I have tried my best to avoid Duncan. There have been a few times that Duncan has almost caught me, but for the most part I've been able to find a way to move around people, hide behind trash cans, and running into random classrooms. I've blocked his number from my phone and I've been able to switch our seats during class so we are not anywhere near one another. Once that bell rings, I am gone and not to be seen by him. It sucks because during my time that I avoid him, I'm also unable to sit with Cody during lunch like right now.
I'm sitting in the music room eating my sandwich while I stare out the window. The birds seem to be chirping and I see a few students walking around, others seem to be enjoying the sun while they sit on the grass and one of them appears to be approaching the window in an angry manner.
Wait what?
I look again and it's Duncan running towards the window. I have to go, I need to find somewhere to go. I can't handle this, I didn't even get to eat the snickers in my backpack. I shove the rest of my sandwich into my mouth, not the first time I shove something big in my mouth. I giggle and choke a bit on my sandwich at what I just thought. I begin to cough all crazy and look around for help. Oh lord this it how it ends, all because of the sandwich I made with my own hands. I hear the door open, but to busy choking to notice who it is. I feel the person come behind me and I feel them do the Heimlich on me. After a few go's I finally spit out the sandwich and gasp for air.
"Thank you stranger," I have my head down and I reach up and place a hand on their shoulder," You saved my life."
"You're welcome," I pull away quickly because I recognize this voice and find myself standing in front of Duncan, who's standing in front of the only door. Which means I can't run out of here. I can jump out the window, but I don't know if that's the smartest thing to do. I look back at Duncan.
Duncan is glaring at me and decide to glare back at him. I notice that he actually has bags under his eyes. Has he not been sleeping? Well that's not my problem. He stops glaring at me and sighs.
"Trent, why have you been ignoring me?" He looks me in the eyes and they're slightly red. Is he really about to cry? He should know why, why is he playing stupid?
"You know why Duncan?" I ball hands into fist and feel myself getting angry. "You're the reason Gwen is fucking gone." I can see that he tenses up and he begins to glare at me.
"YOU went out of your way fucking way to get Jeremy to go and fuck Gwen. Why? For your own selfish needs. Yea I'm ignoring you, but because I feel betrayed by your bitch ass. I was happy and you ruined it. You saw me cry and you said nothing." I realize that I'm shaking and my breathing has picked up.
"Who fucking told you?" Is he serious? Is that all he has to say? He stares at me with fury in his eyes. Why is he fucking mad? Because he got caught? Fuck him
"It doesn't matter who told me. What matters is what you fucking did. You like me so much, but you hurt me. Just because you are selfish." I stare down at him. I notice the guilt grow in his eyes and feel the tears growing in mine. "I don't even need to ask why you did it, I just need you to know that you can go fuck yourself and I don't want anything to do with you."
"What the fuck Trent! Don't say that. It is already done and nothing can change about that. Gwen is gone and she won't come back." He begins to walk closer to me and just back up away from him.
"Yea she's gone, but because you're a selfish prick. I AM DONE." I run around him and run out the room. I keep on running and head towards the field. I run and find myself under the tree furthest from all the buildings. I hear the school bell ring off in the distance, but I stay put. I sit down and lay back against the tree with my eyes closed. I inhale and then exhale.
The nerve of Duncan to get angry and act innocent, he hurt me even before we had a chance to be together. I'm getting a headache. I should stop thinking about this. It's over and he knows why I'm angry, he knows why we won't work out.
"Hey Trent," I hear a voice say my name from behind. Oh my gosh he followed me.
"Duncan I already told you to go fuck yourself. LEAVE. ME. ALONE." I open my eyes and find that it isn't Duncan, but Cody standing in front of me. I blink a few times and he smiles down at me awkwardly. "Oh Cody, it's you. Sorry for lashing out on you."
Cody chuckles awkwardly and sits in front of me. He looks me in the eyes and offers a warm smile.
"No worries Trent, are you okay? I saw you running from the music room and it seemed like you were running away from something or someone." I nod my head. "And now I'm guessing it was Duncan who has you like this." I head his name and I feel a pain in my chest, but anger in my head.
"I don't know what to say Trent, I've never had a relationship. The most I can say is that you can only go up from here right?" I sigh and nod my head once again. "And I have a way you can move up. They are casting for a this reality T.V show competition and they are accepting applications until the end of this month. You can become famous! Be free from all of this. I know that it's a long shot, but try it. Who knows."
And with that Cody gets up. He begins to walk away, but stops. "Your backpack is behind the tree." He walks off and leaves me with a broken heart and broken thoughts.
You know what, Cody is right. I need a new beginning. Fuck Duncan and fuck this drama. I need a new beginning and this will be it. Let's see how this goes. I hope for the best.
Well this is the end. I will now continue the second book which will be a reality T.V show competition with 18 competitors and 2 judges. Hope y'all enjoyed this prequel! Love y'all.
