"And then he ate the whole thing!" Gwen laughed, telling Trent about the time her little brother pigged out on cake the first wedding he ever went to. "I'm surprised he's still so scrawny after that."

"Wow," Trent chuckled, shaking his head. "I can't wait to meet him."

"Yeah, but fair warning: he's a little-" the goth cut herself off when she saw Duncan and Courtney walk into the cafeteria. Once they got their breakfast, the punk sat across from Trent while his girlfriend sat across from Gwen.

"Good morning!" The C.I.T. flashed a smile.

"Uh..." Gwen glanced at Trent, unsure. He only shrugged. "Courtney...about last night, I'm s-"

"It's alright!" She interrupted quickly, placing her napkin on her lap. "I'm over it. Let's just...start fresh, alright?"

Curious, Duncan raised an eyebrow. "Not over what?"

"Nothing! It's no big deal, just girl stuff!"

"Well in that case, I don't want hear it," he took a bite out of his donut.

What are they talking about? Trent thought to himself. That's when he remembered what José told him during the challenge yesterday. "I heard that...she and Duncan...kinda hooked up last night." His eyes widened. No way. He wasn't gonna believe it. Unless Courtney and Gwen got into a fight last night over him and they're just trying to over it up by changing the subject! Oh no! That explains why Courtney ran off crying after the scavenger hunt!!

"Uh...dude?" Duncan's voice brought him out of his thoughts. Trent blinked and shook his head, realizing he was staring right at the delinquent.

"Oh! Uh...sorry..." he chuckled nervously. "I'm just really tired, man."

He heard Gwen snort a little. "Awe, you two should kiss." Courtney laughed along with her.

"Whatever," Duncan rolled his eyes, putting an arm around the brunette. "Elvis was the one giving me goofily eyes."

"No!" Trent yelled. A few other campers turned from their tables to look at him. "It's not like that, I promise! I like Gwen, and-"

"Trent." His girlfriend placed a hand on his shoulder. "Calm down," she giggled. "It was just a joke."

"Pffft...I knew that."

"Anyways," the goth turned back to them. "I think once we leave this place, we should all go see the new horror movie that's supposed to come out in a few months."

"Um...no!" Courtney said. "I hate those movies!"

Duncan smirked. "Come on, Princess. I'll hold you tight on the extra scary parts."

"Knowing you, you'd probably play some stupid prank on me later!"

"I can't believe you think so lowly of me," he chuckled, turning towards Gwen. "Is it that movie with the zombies?"

"That's the one!" The goth smiled. "Are you up for it, Trent?"

"I don't know...horror movies aren't really my thing."

"Come on!" She nudged him in the arm. When he didn't respond, she shook her head. "Looks like it'll just be Duncan and I since we're the only ones who can take it."

"Fine." Courtney crossed her arms. "Then Trent and I can do do something."

What?!! Trent panicked. Gwen basically invited Duncan to go see a movie with her and Courtney seems ok with it?! Ok, this is just too weird...
