MOVED TO AO3 || Someday Soon (Duncan x Oc) || Total Drama Island

A Day Off

Quick note:
So this is more or less a filler chapter. I didn't exactly write the last chapter like I had originally planned, and I don't really know how I feel about it. Either way, it's been posted already, and I wouldn't know how to change it anyway. 😖

So, this chapter is taking place in-between challenges. If you want to ignore this chapter, I don't mind so much. On the other hand, for any filler chapter I do like this I'll put a little vague content thing after the recap. It'll be underlined so you can skip by it if you don't want spoilers.

I'm really only doing this so that I can tie up loose ends from the chapter before, so I'm sorry that it's short compared to normal. These types of chapters might be a decent length because I'm adding some bonus scenes, but I can't make any promises. Anyway, I hope you guys like it. 😅

=====LAST TIME=====

As soon as the bag was in hand, Harold sprinted to his cabin so that he could get dressed. I felt my face burning with anger and, taking advantage of the canoe's closeness, I took the paddle that DJ was holding. The boys winced as I dropped the paddle on the dock behind me.

"Hey, dudette," Geoff said. "What's up?"

I ripped a new note from my notebook, placing it in his hands before taking Duncan's paddle and grabbing the other one from behind me. "I would think that torturing a kid on live TV would be beneath you. Get out of the canoe. Consider yourselves on probation for the next two days. Don't even talk to Harold, either, unless you plan on apologizing."

I could easily hear complaining as I started walking away, so I gave them one more note. "Friend or not, I'm pulling rank. You were in the wrong, and you're getting the consequences. Now deal with it."

I left the guys at the dock after assigning their punishment. I stormed over to my shack. If I didn't do something to calm myself down, I knew that I'd end up doing something I'd regret. I already felt bad for snapping at my friends, regardless of whether any of us were right or wrong, and I'd hate if I had done something worse than that out of anger.

I opened the door to my shack, trying to level my breathing, and glanced around. I sighed. I closed the door behind me. I stood in place for a moment. I glanced at my instrument on its stand in the corner, and I thought that maybe a bit of music would calm me down enough to at least socialize again.

I set to collecting what I needed. I placed my sax in its case and clipped on the straps that came with it. Slinging the case over my shoulder like a backpack, I grabbed my earbuds and phone before heading back towards the door. I opened the door, only to jump when I saw Trent and Owen already standing there about to knock.

I squeaked in surprise, almost dropping my key, causing Owen to laugh. "Sorry, dude!"

"Yeah, we didn't mean to scare you."
