I stare at the campers going by, I can't believe Courtney deserted me after I fought a alligator for her. Harold ran screaming like a girl. That's random. I was lost in thought, when a small figure tripped over me. I laughed very hard. Pain was the best laughter for me, just ask Harold or Cody! I looked at the figure and my laughter stopped abruptly, for some reason. It was Gwen. She frowned and looked at her elbow, which was scratched, bleeding and looked bad. If it was a nerd, I'd been laughing. But now I couldn't bring myself to laugh.

I looked at her and felt guilty, but didn't let it show. I thought she would yell at me, but she didn't. Instead she sounded almost caring.

"Are you OK?", she asked caringly, "I heard what happened. Between you and Courtney." She said nervously. Her cheeks were almost going red. I bet she didn't know what to say. Come to think of it, it was almost cute. [A/N: this is all after the declaring of TDA, Duncan is sitting alone near the campfire] I smiled at her. It wasn't fake. It was an actual smile, this time.

"I'm OK.", I assured, "what about you?", I asked, tilting my head towards her elbow. She actually laughed.

"Eh… If I can take Chris's challenges, this is nothing", I chuckled. I thing I might like her.
