A/N: Hey there everybody. I am TDDolphin, and I'm here to introduce you all to my brand new Cody/Bridgette story. The premise is pretty much set in an AU where most of the Total Drama characters all go the same high school, and the show never existed. Yeah, I know that idea has been done to death on this site. But from what I've seen, most of them seem to revolve around Duncan and Courtney as main characters. For this one though, Cody and Bridgette will be two of the main characters, with many other Total Drama contestants being their classmates, as well as my own made up teachers.

This story won't be nearly as long as my other story. It'll probably only be 30 chapters or less. It will take place over the course of one year, during Cody's junior year in high school, obviously. There will be dramatic situations and plenty of fun and romantic moments leading up to the finale. And by the end, two hearts will find their way to each other, and love will blossom.

So sit back, relax, and I hope you enjoy Ocean Falls High School!

Chapter 1 - The New School Year

The alarm began buzzing on the dresser next to the bed. The brown-haired, skinny sixteen year old stirred from his slumber and moved his arm slowly from his blanket and turned his alarm clock off. He raised his head, revealing his azure-colored eyes, and gazed at his clock. It was 7:30 a.m.

Cody yawned, removed the blanket from his body and sat up in bed. He wore brown, striped pajama pants and a yellow night shirt that seemed a little too big for him, with a design of one of his favorite video game characters on it. It was a green dinosaur with a white underbelly, a round snout, and wearing red shoes and a red saddle on it's back.

Cody rubbed his eyes and looked around his room. His bed sat horizontally against the lower left corner of the room. A dresser sat on the other side from his bed, with a TV stand right next to it. Sitting on the stand was a twenty-five inch flat screen television, with a Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and a Playstation 4 all hooked up to it. There were two doors right next to each other on the upper wall, and a wooden desk and chair next to his bed with a window placed above it.

The boy looked at all the junk that was littered around his desktop. Old pieces of homework from last year, a lamp, numerous pens and pencils, and some cheat codes Cody wrote down for the video games he owned. Once Cody shook off his grogginess, he looked back at the old homework, and then realization dawned on him.

"Oh yeah. Today's the first day of school." he spoke aloud to himself.

He had forgotten that he was now a junior in high school. And he knew why. Cody shut his eyes as his mind wandered to the dream he had just been having. It had been a weird one.

Cody found himself surrounded by a world of pink clouds, with yellow lights shining around him. Looking around he saw nothing for a couple minutes. But when he turned around, he noticed that someone was standing several feet away from him with their back turned. But even at this angle, he recognized the girl. The girl had had long blonde hair tied in a ponytail, and wore a light blue hoodie, grayish-blue shorts and sandals. Cody called out the girl's name. When she turned around, Cody was blessed with seeing her beautiful face, with her sea-green eyes and blonde bangs falling by her face. It was a girl he had known since the first grade. Bridgette Summers.

Her face was red, and she looked nervous and shy when she walked toward Cody. When Cody asked her if she was okay, she shook her head, saying that there was something important that she needed to tell him. The tech geek felt himself blushing, and began stuttering. Suddenly the surfer girl held his cheeks with her hands. Cody's eyes widened as Bridgette stared deep into his eyes. But before she could say what she wanted to say, the alarm had gone off, waking Cody up. The geek's face flushed as he finished remembering.

Again, it was a weird dream. Bridgette was a friend of his from school. They weren't best friends mind you, but they had known each other since they were little kids and were on pretty good terms, maybe a step below best friends would best describe their relationship. However, she's a popular girl, and by that notion, hung out with mostly the popular kids. While he was a geek, and of course, hung out with other geeks and unpopular kids. That said, Bridgette was still really nice to him, and he thought that she was very pretty.

Putting the dream out of his mind, Cody hopped out of bed and walked toward his door. He opened it and walked out into the hallway, then down the stairs and into the living room. The living room consisted of two red sofas connecting like an L, a red armchair next to the horizontal couch, a glass table in the center, and a giant TV cabinet filled with movies, a Blu-Ray/DVD player in the center hole, a giant fifty-inch plasma screen television against the wall, and a computer desk sat by the fireplace.

The geek could smell something good coming from the kitchen. When he walked in, he saw his mom cooking breakfast at the stove. Sure enough, it was eggs and bacon. Mrs. Anderson was a pretty brunette woman with long hair and blue eyes that Cody had inherited from her, she wore a green, collared shirt whose sleeves went to her elbows and gray pants. When she heard footsteps behind her, she turned and saw her son enter the kitchen.

"There's my eleventh grader!" greeted Mrs. Anderson cheerfully. "Good morning, dear."

"Hey mom." replied Cody with a smile. "Dad already head out?"

Mr. Anderson was a salesman for the Ocean Falls branch of an HVAC supply store called Breezeco. Ocean Falls is the town where he lived and went to school. It was located about three hours north of Vancouver, and close to the coast. Due to the demand of his job, Cody's dad often had to leave early in the morning to help his workmates at the store.

"Yep, he headed out at around six." she answered. "I thought I'd cook you some breakfast before you start your new school year."

Cody smiled as his mother set a plate full of eggs, bacon and buttered toast down in front of him. "I'm gonna go wake your sister up." she scratched his head as she walked by and left the kitchen.

For the next couple minutes, Cody just ate. But after finishing his eggs off, he realized that he didn't have anything to drink. So he got up and walked to the refrigerator, took out a gallon of milk and poured himself a glass. He put the milk back in the fridge and walked back to his seat. He finished off his toast, and was starting on his bacon when his mother came back with his little four-year old sister, Megan.

"Morning, Cody." chirped Megan happily. Cody's sister wore lavender footie pajamas, blue eyes like him and had long brown hair tied up in twintails. She carried her favorite stuffed pink turtle doll with her to the table.

"Hey there squirt." Cody replied cheerfully, bending down to hug the toddler. "Did you get some good sleep?"

"Uh-huh, Samson kept me safe from my bad dreams." she said proudly, holding up the turtle doll to her brother's face.

"Good job, Samson." Cody smiled, and patted the doll's head. He then righted himself up, ate his last piece of bacon and took his plate to the sink and washed it before putting it in the dish washer. "Thanks for breakfast, mom."

"Your welcome sweetie." she replied happily. "Is Noah picking you up today?"

"Yeah, he said he'd be here a little after eight. I guess I'd better shower and get dressed." Cody waved to his mom and sister before leaving the kitchen and heading back upstairs.

About ten minutes later, Cody was showered and dressed, and was now combing his hair. He really wished his bangs would stay down like Bridgette's would, but they remained curved upward no matter how hard he combed. After brushing his teeth, Cody walked back to his room and put his tennis shoes on. He then got his cellphone, keys and wallet and placed them in his pockets and picked up his backpack and put it on.

Checking his clock, Cody saw that it was 8 o'clock exactly. "Noah should be here any minute." he thought to himself as he left his bedroom.

Noah was one of Cody's friends from school. They had known each other since kindergarten, which was about as long as Cody's known Bridgette. He was smart, in fact he's probably the number one student in their class, but he was also pretty cynical, often making sarcastic remarks when people say something stupid. Noah could be difficult to get along with, but if your patient enough to stand his sarcasm, then one would see that he's not a bad person at heart.

Cody walked downstairs and sat down on one of the couch's in the living room. He opened up his backpack to check and see if he had everything: His binder, three notebooks, a box of pens, another box of pencils, and finally, his gym uniform. Everything was here.

The geek suddenly heard his phone beep. He took it out of his pocket and saw that Noah sent him a text message:

"Get your ass out here!"

Cody chuckled, pocketed his phone, got up from the couch and headed back for the kitchen.

Mrs. Anderson and Megan were laughing and playing with Samson at the table. "Bye mom, I'm heading for school." he informed them.

"Have a great first day, honey." said his mom with a wave. Megan also waved, which Cody returned with a grin.

"I will." he told them before dashing to the front door and heading out into the yard to find Noah's Nissan Altima on the street waiting for him. Cody smiled as he headed for his friend's car. He was ready. Ready to see his friends again, and ready for a brand new school year.

Meanwhile, in a small house in a different neighborhood near Ocean Falls' beach, a sixteen year old girl had awoken and walked toward her kitchen. She had long blonde hair tied in a ponytail, lime-green eyes and a pretty face, and wore a blue halter top and sky blue pajama pants with dolphins all around them.

Bridgette smiled as she reached into her fridge and pulled out an orange. She grabbed a knife from the knife rack and began cutting the citrus fruit into six pieces. Then she reached up into the cabinet above her, took out a plastic baggie and put four of the orange slices into the bag before sealing it up and putting them in her blue lunch box. She'd save them for her lunch today, as she wasn't a fan of the cafeteria's food.

The surfer girl couldn't believe that summer was already over. It seemed like only yesterday that she had been surfing the waves on the beach, hanging out with her friends and going out with Geoff for hours in a day. A bright smile came to Bridgette's face as she thought of her boyfriend. She was so happy that they had made up after their big fight a week ago. Then she frowned.

Bridgette and Geoff had been dating for over a year now, since the start of last summer. For the first year their relationship was smooth, but then during this summer, the two had begun arguing quite a lot. Granted, pretty much all couples argue at one point or another, but this summer she and Geoff seemed to argue more times than they had over their whole sophomore year.

Bridgette had a bad feeling in her gut that it was due to his friendship with Duncan. Duncan Myers is a good friend of Geoff's, and over the last couple of years, he's started going through a rebellious phase. He cut his hair in a mohawk fashion and dyed it green, as well as pierced his lip and eyebrows, and even started smoking. All of this disgusted Bridgette. Sometimes she seriously wondered why her best friend was even dating him. Probably because Courtney was tough, and could actually challenge him if he ever got too bad.

However she was also worried about Geoff. During this summer, Duncan and his friends, as well as a couple of her friends, had gotten Geoff into partying, and that most of the time involved drinking alcohol, which she was completely against. Most of their arguments stemmed from Geoff's new party-party attitude, and her wishing he wouldn't do it so often. But thankfully, a week ago, after their fourth break up, the two of them patched things up for good, and Geoff hadn't hung out with Duncan since.

Though a part of her was worried about seeing Duncan in school, she reasoned that Courtney would probably keep him in line. Besides, she had to focus on her new classes.

She finished eating the orange slices and was just pouring two glasses of milk when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around to see an attractive forty-year old woman with shoulder-length blonde hair and wearing pajamas similar to Bridgette's, only without the dolphin prints.

"Morning mom." Bridgette greeted. "Just in time. I just poured you some milk, too."

"Thanks sweetie." said Ms. Summers. "You ready for a new year?"

"You know it." replied the surfer girl excitedly, taking a deep swig of her milk and licking what was left from her milk mustache. "I'm about to get in the shower now actually."

Bridgette gave her mom a quick hug before leaving the kitchen and entering their den. There wasn't much here, apart from a peach-colored couch, armchair and a large television on top of a cabinet. When she got into the hall, she passed several picture frames on the wall. One had Bridgette as a tiny infant, another was her kindergarten photo, then there was one of a man with brown hair and a goatee with green eyes. Her green eyes. She frowned at this picture before walking into the bathroom.

Bridgette washed her hair as the mist began hovering all around her behind the blue and purple scalloped shower curtain. While she was showering, she thought about many things, like her classes, or some of her friends.

She wondered how they were doing. Apart from Geoff, Courtney and her friend Cody occassionally (she didn't count Duncan), she hadn't seen much of her school friends this summer. Probably because Lindsay had her own boyfriend to hang with, Gwen had taken summer school classes and Courtney and Trent had gotten jobs at an ice cream shop in town. Bridgette herself had gotten a part-time job at a surf shop at the end of the school year, so she had been working for most of the summer. She counted herself lucky that she had found a job dealing with an activity she was extremely passionate about.

Bridgette turned the shower nozzles and the water turned off. Her arm stuck out from behind the curtain and grabbed a towel from the rack on the wall. After a few minutes, the surfer girl pulled the curtain, revealing her with the towel wrapped around her body. She hummed a merry tune as she stepped over the railing and exited the shower, leaving the bathroom and heading back to her room.

Ten minutes later, Bridgette was fully clothed in her light blue hoodie, grayish-blue shorts and sandals, and was tying her hair into it's usual ponytail. She looked around her room.

There was a desk below the window, which had more frames with pictures of her and her friends in them, as well as a closed white Toshiba laptop and a couple dolphin plush dolls. Her double-sized bed was set close to her door, with a blue and white striped blanket covering it. Her two surfboards, one red and yellow, the other teal with blue hawaiian flowers around it, were propped up on the wall between her closet door and dresser.

She looked at the clock on her bedframe. It was about five to eight. "Guess I'd better head out." she said, feeling excited at the prospect of returning to school. She put her backpack on, got her keys from her dresser and went to say goodbye to her mom.

Only when she got to the kitchen, she wasn't there. Then Bridgette saw a sheet of paper on the table. She went over, picked it up and saw that it was a message from her mom:

Bridgette

Went to work early. I went ahead and packed your lunch for you. I hope you have a great first day back and I'll see you when you get home!

Love you! Mom :)

Bridgette smiled. Ms. Summers worked as a front desk clerk at the Milton Hotel that one of her schoolmates' father owned in downtown Ocean Falls. She looked over at the counter and saw her lunch box looking thicker than it had been earlier. She grabbed it, placed it in the front part of her backpack, and left the kitchen.

Suddenly, her phone started beeping. Taking her Droid Razor out of her pocket, she looked at the message that Geoff had sent her. Bridgette sent her reply of 'I'm on my way there, now. I'll see you soon, baby!' as she opened the front door and walked outside.

It was a cloudy morning, and the temperature felt like it was in the mid-sixties. Bridgette walked over to her blue Jeep. She opened the door, took her backpack off and placed in her passenger seat. She started the trucks engine, then slowly pulled away from the curb, and drove off down the road to school, at the same time one of her friends was heading there.

"Ocean Falls High, here I come." she said mentally with a smile on her face.

And that's the end of Chapter 1. I know it wasn't much more than just an introduction to the main characters, but I promise the next chapter will be longer. And for those who had read Kingdom Hearts: Cody's Story and were wondering, yes I did reuse the name Ocean Falls for Cody and Bridgette's hometown that were mentioned in that story too, as well as Megan, Cody's little sister. I don't know, I just thought it would be cool to actually show them in this story. But don't worry, my two stories aren't connected to each other, there just shout-outs in a way.

Anyway, next time, we see the high school, as well as Cody's and Bridgette's friends and enemies and the first conversation between Bridgette and Cody. Hope you all liked the first chapter. Feel free to let me know how I did, and stay tuned for Chapter 2: Ocean Falls High School. Until next time, good night everybody! :)
