୨⎯ chapter 17 (last chapter) ⎯୧

courtney's pov:

i walk into the main cabin and sit silently at the desk.

'courtney? what are you doing here?' mr. mcclain asks me, 'i wanted to tell you that duncan wasn't skipping-' i lied.

'then what was he doing during lunch and study sessions?' he questions me.

i feel my face get really hot, i don't lie a lot , hardly ever.

'um— he was sick?' i said , i didn't mean to say it, it honestly just slipped out.

'oh, i see.' he seemed like he believed me. 'are you sure?'

'yes?'

'well then, call him in here.'

i got up and smiled widely at myself and run out the door.

'duncan! duncan!' i yelled as i ran into the boys cabin.

'princess?' he asks and walks towards me.

'i- mr.mcclain needs you-' i say between sighs , trying to catch my breath.

'oh- okay-' he sighs and walks out of the cabin.

i walk slowly behind him as he walks in.

i put my ear to the door and listen in.

'duncan, were you sick yesterday?' mr mcclain asks him.

i cross my fingers praying he gets the memo to agree.

'um,' he starts and i hold my breath.

'yeah?'

i jump, 'yes!' i whisper yell to myself.

'oh,' mr mcclain sighs, 'why couldn't you tell me that earlier.'

'i don't know.' he replies and i slap my forehead.

'okay, well i suppose you can stay here.'

'kay.' i hear the chair screech and the door opens.

i jump into the bench next to the door to act like i wasn't spying.

'so,' i smack my lips, 'what happened?'

'i'm staying, i guess.'

i smile and hug him and he hugs me back, to my surprise.

'courtney i need to talk to you.' he says

'okay, talk to me.'

we sit on the steps to the cabins.

'courtney, i think i like you, and i understand you aren't sure what you want at the moment,' he starts,

'and im not just one of your hookups?' i ask him.

'no, you're not.' he replies, 'but i want you to know i'll always be here if you need a boyfriend or a kiss-'

but before he could finish his speech i pull his collar and my lips meet his.

he kisses me back rougher and his tongue slides into my mouth.

his tongue meets mine and i pull away, 'should we go inside..?' i ask , almost breathless.

'sure.' he smirks.

————-

i wake up next to him, i look under the covers.

okay..im only half naked- that's still okay, right?

i pick up my phone from next to me to see 13 messages from bridgette;

'hey wya?'

'courtneyyy'

'dude lunch passed where r u?'

'hello?'

'there's a bonfire at 6 tonight.'

'you coming?'

'COURT.'

'istg answer the damn phone.'

'courtney.'

'where's duncan btw.'

'where the hell r u'

'okay well just be at the bonfire.'

'!!!!'

shit.

i throw my romper back on and try to fix my hair.

once im fine with my appearance i run outside.

i check my watch and it reads; 5:49

i have 11 minutes, great.

i walk into the girls cabin and bridgette runs up to me.

'okay, where the hell were you?!' she asks and she makes a weird face, 'and you smell like smoke-'

her eyes widen.

'were you with duncan?' she whisper yells and smiles.

'shh!' i cover her mouth. she pulls some perfume out of her bag, 'here.' she sprays like 70 coats on me.

'i think im drenched.' i say spitting, because im pretty sure it got in my mouth. 'yeah good, im not sure if that will even fix that smell.'

i slap her shoulder and she laughs , 'come on, we have five minutes before it starts.'

we walk out of the cabin to see most of the grade already out here, and i see duncan.

'be right back.' i tell bridgette.

i walk to duncan and sit next to him.

'hi princess.' he whispers in my ear, 'i have a question.'

'i have a answer.' i smile at him.

'do you want to be my princess?' he asks me.

'are you asking me out?' i giggle at him.

'hm, yeah, i think so.' he smirks.

'yes, i will be your princess.' i smile and kiss his cheek.

'good.' he kisses my lips and i lay my head on his shoulder.

we watch the bonfire as we laugh and geoff's jokes and heathers insults.

but the only thing i can think about right now is how im here with duncan, and im his girlfriend. i wonder if he thinks about me like that.

'i love you.' he whispers in my ear and i blush.

'i love you too.'
