Trent opened his eyes and jumped out of bed. He walked into the bathroom to take a shower. Meanwhile, Courtney just stepped out of the shower and was wrapped up in a towel. She was prepared to put her usual outfit on.

A couple minutes later, Trent walked out of his bathroom.

"Hi Trent!"

Trent screamed. Courtney was standing by his door.

"What are you doing in here? I'm wearing nothing but a towel! How did you get in here anyway?"

"You left the door unlocked, silly."

Trent paused and realized she was right. He was too busy thinking about what Gwen said that he forgot to lock the door before he went to bed. He face palmed himself. "Stupid!"

"It's okay, Trent. I'll just head to wherever Bridgette and Geoff serve breakfast and grab us something to eat. Want me to get you anything in particular?"

"Ugh…" Trent was irritated. "Eggs and toast... Maybe some bacon…"

"Got it!" Courtney noted.

"Just get out of here already!"

Courtney giggled, "Someone's cranky this morning."

"OUT!"

Courtney shut the door behind her. "How did I ever get stuck with him… This plan is much worse than I thought… All I have to do is keep up this nice business and he'll be like putty in my hands. Not much else to it…"

Trent was sitting on his bed, waiting patiently for Courtney to return. He heard a light knock on his door.

"Come in!" He shouted.

The door opened and Courtney walked in. She was holding a plate of eggs, toast and bacon in one hand, and a bowl of oatmeal in the other. She placed his order on his lap.

"There you go. Eggs, toast, and maybe bacon. Just like you asked. By the way, if you don't want the bacon I'll just take it."

"No, it's fine…" Trent took a bite of his toast.

The two teenagers sat in silence for a while.

"Hey Trent… How did it feel?"

Trent looked at her. "How did what feel?"

"When Gwen dumped you…"

Trent didn't move. Courtney waved her hand in front of Trent's face to see if he was okay. He shook his head to signal he was back in reality. Trent looked away from her. "It hurt."

"How much did it hurt?"

"A lot."

"That's not exactly the answer I was looking for…" Courtney put a spoonful of oatmeal in her mouth.

"It made me feel… Well…"

"Shitty?" Courtney answered for him.

"Not exactly shitty… More like…"

"Crappy?"

"That's the same thing…" Trent pointed out.

"How about unwanted?"

Trent looked down. "Well… Yeah…"

Courtney looked at him with eyes full of pity. She moved closer and petted him. "It's okay Trent… I know exactly the way you felt."

"How?"

Courtney rolled her eyes. She tried to keep her temper. "I thought you knew that Duncan and Gwen were dating… Duncan dumped me for that stupid emo-loving goth… It hurt like hell and made me feel like shit."

Trent stood up and glared at Courtney. He crossed his arms. "Don't you dare talk about Gwen like that!"

"What? But… Why? She hurt both of us!"

"She might've broken my heart, but I'm still in love with her." Trent turned away.

Courtney gave him a disapproving look. "Isn't it time you moved on, Trent? She dumped you back in season 2… It's season 3 and now she's dating my ex-boyfriend…"

"I know…" Trent said, "But no other girl here can compare to Gwen's beauty…"

Courtney sighed and looked at the ground. Trent turned around. Courtney looked disappointed. This didn't get ignored by Trent.

"Are you okay?" Trent wondered.

Courtney looked at him. "Yeah, why?"

"I don't know. You seem a little upset. Is something bothering you?"

"Why do you care? You don't even think we're friends." Courtney turned away so he couldn't see her face.

Trent put his hand on Courtney's shoulder. "Yeah but that doesn't mean I don't care about you…"

"And yet we aren't friends?" Courtney said in a harsh tone.

"Well… I guess we are…"

Courtney smirked then went back to her fake frown. She turned around. "Really?"

"Sure." Trent shrugged.

"Okay… Do you maybe want to hang out later?"

Trent flinched. "Oh… I don't really know… I might be busy…"

"With what?"

"I might hang out with Gwen if…"

"You're only going to hang out with her because you aren't over her yet."

Trent blushed. "That's not true!"

"You just told me that no girl can compare to Gwen's beauty, and now you're telling me you aren't over her yet?"

Trent's face just got redder. "Well, yeah…"

Courtney laughed. "Do you have any idea how red your face is right now?"

"It's just hot in here…."

"I can tell you're lying."

"I am not!"

"Oh really? Want to bet?"

"Bet?" Trent raised an eyebrow.

"That's right. A bet. If you're really over Gwen then I bet you can't go a week without hanging out with her. If you win, I promise I won't be so..." Courtney looked down and bit her lip, "Umm… Uptight towards you… For the rest of the season."

Trent gave her a smug look. "And what if I lose?"

Courtney gave Trent a smug look in return. "Then you have to stop playing your guitar for the rest of the season."

"Do you honestly think you can keep me away from my guitar?"

"Yes, because I'll take it away and hide it from you for that amount of time so you can't find it."

Trent gasped. "You wouldn't!"

Courtney stared at him. She gave him a blank face, as if he doesn't even know who he's talking to. She obviously would take away his guitar considering how mean she can be sometimes. After all, she did give Duncan a 32 page letter listing every single one of his apparent "flaws" and how he can fix them.

Trent understood the message Courtney was giving him with that dreaded look on her face. "I take that back. You would take my guitar away from me."

"That's what I thought."

"Wait a minute, if I can't hang out with Gwen, then who am I supposed to hang out with? Gwen's like… My best friend."

Courtney rolled her eyes. "Well, you could always hang out wit-"

"Oh wow I'm so stupid! I could just hang out with Lindsay!" Trent interrupted.

Courtney frowned. She had to come up with an excuse for why he had to hang out with her. "Umm… She'll probably be too busy spending time with Tyler!"

"Oh yeah, good point… I forgot she remembered who Tyler was. It's funny, she forgot who he was all throughout Total Drama Action and yet he didn't dump her for it." Trent paused to think. "Oh hey, I could hang with Owe-"

"He'll be too busy hanging out with Noah and trying to win Blaineley's heart!" Courtney spoke quickly.

"I suppose… What about Geoff?"

"He'll be making out with Bridgette and working on the Aftermath!"

"Damn… The Drama Brothers?"

"Cody is still in the competition!"

"Yeah but the Sasquatchanakwa replaced Cody during the first episode of the aftermath. Plus we really should be working on our next album…"

"As part of the bet you have to hang out with me!" Courtney screamed. She quickly covered her mouth.

"What? You? But…"

Courtney folded her arms. "But what?"

"Why you?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"No offense Courtney but you don't exactly seem like someone most of the contestants would want to be around… Plus you're a little bossy…"

"I am not!" Courtney snapped. Trent flinched. Courtney took a deep breath. "Look, if you really want to win this bet then you'll have to hang out with me for the rest of the week."

"What happens if I don't accept this little challenge of yours?"

"Then I take your guitar anyway."

"What? That's so stupid! I lose my guitar if I lose or if I don't accept the bet?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"I can't believe this!"

"Well believe it, honey."

Trent's face turned into a light scarlet color. "Honey?"

Courtney blushed along with Trent. "Oh… Uhh… Well… Do we have a deal?" She held out her hand.

Trent stared at Courtney's hand. He stopped to think about this. It's either lose his guitar for the rest of the season, or hang out with Courtney for a week. He had to decide which was worse. He finally came to a decision.

"Fine. You have a deal." He shook her hand.

"That's what I thought." Courtney grinned. She released his hand and began to walk towards the door. "I'll see you really soon, Trent." She left the room.

Trent stared at the door as it shut. He face palmed himself. "What did I just get myself into! I should've denied the bet! That would've been better than spending a week with that demon!"
