RECAP: I looked, and soon, my smug look became shocked, and my arms fell to my sides. I couldn't believe who I was looking at, but every quality I remembered about him was there; the blue-green eyes, the familiar nonchalant look on his face, the piercings, the green Mohawk, and even his black wristband was still on him...the only thing that wasn't the same about him right now was the fact that he had on my school's uniform شرٹ, قمیض and a pair of black pants instead of his usual skull شرٹ, قمیض and jeans. I couldn't believe it, but I was staring at the Total Drama Island سٹار, ستارہ and the long-time object of my obsession; Duncan!

--------------------------------------------------
I felt really weak all over just looking at Duncan, and he wasn't even looking in my direction; I couldn't believe my پسندیدہ guy from my پسندیدہ دکھائیں in the entire world was sitting in my homeroom class! I'm pretty much a Total Drama Island fanatic; any سوال about the دکھائیں آپ have, I can probably answer it. Still, I knew even مزید about Duncan than I knew about the دکھائیں itself; I knew how he was sweeter than he let on, I knew about all of his family members being cops and how he was on the opposite side of the law from them...hell, I even know how many times he's been sent to Juvie and what almost every arrest was for! (XD) Still, the last thing I expected was for him to be at my school!

I finally spoke; "W-what's D-Duncan doing here...?" I stuttered nervously. Alexa shrugged; "I don't know...I bet he was sent here سے طرف کی his parents, though; آپ know they want him to be straightened out a little bit, and that's the only way someone like him could get into a place like this." she said. I nodded, still looking in my crush's direction and not saying a word. Suddenly, his blue-green eyes landed on me, a smile instantly crossing his face; I blushed deeply and looked down in hopes of avoiding eye contact with him. Alexa noticed this and smiled slyly before she started pulling me سے طرف کی my arm; "Let's go sit سے طرف کی him."

I pulled my arm away, looking at my friend like she just totally lost her mind; "Ok, are آپ nuts? I can't sit اگلے to him...I mean, not even counting my crush on him, آپ know I swore off of Juvie boys forever." I کہا quietly to her. She smiled smugly again; "So, why do آپ have a crush on him?" she asked coolly. I rolled my eyes at her; "I didn't think I'd ever come within a mile of him, let alone think he would دکھائیں up at my school." I quickly retaliated. "Come on...nobody کہا آپ had to ask him out; we're just going to sit سے طرف کی him. Besides, our seats are over there anyway; we don't have a choice." Alexa reminded me. I sighed heavily, knowing my friend was right; "Fine, but I'm letting آپ do all of the talking." I کہا in annoyance. "Don't آپ always?" my blonde friend asked. I shrugged; "True..." With that, Alexa pulling me again...right in Duncan's direction.

Still nervous, I kept my head down when we were close enough to Duncan. I couldn't tell, but he was smiling at us...mainly me; "Funny...I don't remember ordering two hot girls. Still, who am I to try and send آپ gorgeous ladies back?" he asked. I blushed deeper, but Alexa just smiled at him; "You always were funny." she کہا with a slight giggle. She pushed me towards my desk, which happened to be the window نشست اگلے to Duncan; I gulped before putting my backpack down اگلے to me and sitting down.

I looked at Alexa, who was sitting in the نشست in front of me and looking back at us; "So...how does a سٹار, ستارہ from one of the most مقبول reality shows on TV wind up here?" she asked Duncan. The Juvie boy shrugged; "My mom and dad had me come here after I got ہوم from the show...they heard this school was supposed to help people like me learn how to act یا whatever, but like I really care; no school's been able to change me yet, and I know this one won't be any different." he کہا calmly, leaning back in his chair and putting his feet on سب, سب سے اوپر of his desk. Alexa shrugged; "That's the same thing I کہا to my aunt when she first signed me up to come here, but she didn't care." she کہا putting some of her hair behind her ear. I smiled at he a little bit; hearing her talk usually made me feel better when I was nervous...usually...unless it was her fault I was nervous. She smiled slyly before looking at Duncan; "You know, Duncan, we're both really big شائقین of the show...in fact, my friend here knows a lot about the دکھائیں and probably مزید than that about you." she کہا as her smile grew slightly. I groaned, and laid my head down on my desk; this is one of those times when she's that cause of my nervousness.


"Oh, is that right? آپ know a lot about me?" Duncan's voice asked as I heard his feet go back onto the floor. I lifted my head slightly to see him smiling at me, but I blushed and laid it right back down when I noticed.


Alexa smiled; "She's really shy, but yeah, she knows a lot about you; she even knows exactly how many times you've been sent to Juvie." she کہا calmly. I felt my muscles tense up; if he thought I was some kind of a crazed stalker now, I'd kill her.


I felt a hand touch my leg, and I nervously and slowly looked up to see Duncan smiling at me slyly; "Well, that doesn't seem too fair..." he کہا looking down at my leg, slowly rubbing it a little. I blushed some more, and quickly turned so his hand would fall off of my leg, but I still looked at him; "W-what are آپ t-talking about?" I asked as I felt my heartbeat get a little bit faster. The Juvie smiled at me; "I'm just sayin'...you already know so much about me, but I don't even know your name; it seems a little unfair to me..." he کہا smiling that cute, devilish smile I fell in love with the moment I first saw it...even though I had no idea it was so insanely hot in real life. I looked down at my desk, the heat on my face simply getting worse; "I-I guess..." I کہا shyly as I clenched my fists tightly, purposely digging my nails into my palms in hopes it would help somehow.

I felt Duncan's hand on my shoulder; "So...are آپ gonna tell me your name?" I looked into his eyes for a moment, but then, I just blushed and looked down some more; "R-Rikki..m-my name's Rikki..." I کہا shyly, not too sure if I was loud enough to even be heard. Feeling his hand come off of my shoulder, I looked into his eyes and took in his smile that was still planted on his adorable face; "So...Rikki...that's your name, huh?" he asked in an interested voice. A hint of a shy smile came onto my face as I nodded, still blushing intensely. I saw Duncan's smile grow; "Cute..." he کہا calmly with a nod of his head. I bit my lip and blushed some more, looking down at my feet but still facing him; I nervously pushed my hair behind my ear again.

"Ok...feeling a little 3rd-wheelish here..." Alexa said. I looked at her in slight guilt, but Duncan smiled and laughed a little; "Sorry... Come to think of it, آپ didn't tell me your name either." he said. Alexa pretended to think; "Oh, that's right...I can't believe I forgot." she کہا with a hint of sarcasm. She and Duncan both laughed, and she finally said; "Anyway, the name's Stoner...Alexa Stoner." I smiled and giggled a little bit to myself; that girl had a really retarded James Bond impression, but I loved it anyway. Actually, I liked most of her impressions...even the retarded یا cheesy ones.

I didn't notice it, but Duncan had been looking at me this whole time; "Rikki and Alexa...I shouldn't have a problem remembering those names." he said. I looked at Alexa who was smiling; "...and I'm guessing آپ probably won't forget a certain girl's cute, tan face and big, brown eyes anytime soon, either, will you?" she asked mainly looking at me. I sighed, but looked toward Duncan who was smiling deviously at me; "Oh, definitely not..." he کہا with a little wink at me. I blushed so intensely this time that I could even feel my ears getting a little warm, but I laid my head on the میز, جدول and covered my face with my arms before he got the chance to notice. Alexa giggled a little; "Like I کہا before...she's really shy." she کہا to Duncan. I felt his hand start to gently caress my back, most likely in an effort to calm me down; "Oh, it's fine...I think it's cute." he said, whispering the last part to me.

I blushed again, but turned away, letting Alexa continue; "So, I guess I have to ask...what actually happened between آپ and Courtney? There are a lot of rumors floating around." Duncan didn't say much for a moment, but then he said; "We had to break up..." I looked up at him; "What...?" I کہا sadly. He nodded; "She lives on the other end of the country; long distance relationships don't work for either of us, so we decided to end it after we left the island..." he کہا with a shrug. "I'm so sorry..." I کہا sadly as I looked at him. He looked to me and smiled; "It's ok...since word got out, I've met a lot of girls..." he کہا as he placed a hand on my leg again, rubbing it gently and smirking at me some more; "Some a lot cuter than others..." he whispered before winking at me again.

سے طرف کی now, I felt my دل pounding like crazy; it's been a long time since a guy made me feel like this...flustered...nervous...happy...all at the same time. I sighed heavily to myself, knowing that I couldn't let him get to me...if I was going to keep acting like this, I couldn't ever be around him too much from here on out. I know it's weird for me to be thinking this, but if آپ were in my shoes, you'd understand. See, the thing is I have a bad history with dating bad boys like him...a lot of them broke up with me because we grew apart, and some of them ended up dead. Still, my worst experience was in my last relationship with a bad پچھواڑے, گدا Juvie...and what I thought was probably going to be my last relationship ever. I can't get into the details of that relationship right now, but the point is me dating another Juvie was 100% out of the question; I may have a crush on Duncan and he may like me back some, but I'll do all I have to just to keep him from getting too close to me... No way I'm letting another Juvie boy close enough to me to break my heart.
