Author's note: Hi there! I'm Issamel, this is my newest story to this site but before you all dive right in you need to know that this will not be updated regularly. I'm very busy in the real world and rarely have time to write. So I just so happen to be a huge Duncney fan! I don't care what you say about what happened in World Tour. In my mind they will always be together. Now a last note, this story focuses on Courtney being a Colorguard girl. If you don't understand some of the terms I'll define them for you. Now without any more delay I give you...
Of C.I.T.'s and Delinquents

"There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment."

Chapter 1
The stands are packed with the cheering students. Each moment they grow louder the more nervous Courtney becomes. It was going to be her first time performing her Colorguard show in front of her school. She gripped the pole of her flag so tight that her knuckles were turning white. She was so nervous that she didn't even know that the Colorguard captain was standing in front of her.
"Courtney, are you alright?" The blonde asked. Courtney blinked back into reality and looked around. Then she looked back at the captain.
"Oh, uh, yeah. I'm fine. Why Bridgette?" She responded.
"You were completely out of it okay. I know that it's your first time doing a show but just do it like you practiced during band camp. Okay? Imagine that no one is up there except for the director." Bridgette reassured.
"Okay, okay. I just wish that we could have more rehearsal time before our first show." The brunette wined. The captain looked over her shoulder and saw that the band was already walking on the field.
"Come on, it's show time!"

While the marching band and Colorguard were performing the football team was figuring out what their next plays would be and what formations they would have. Duncan would have been paying attention but he wasn't able to play due to being suspended from the game. He 'accidently' broke someone from the team's rib and now they were having 'difficulty breathing'.
Now he was just sitting on the track watching the halftime show. He didn't care much for the marching band and Colorguard, but there was one girl who caught his eye. Her brunette hair went a little past her shoulders. As she spun around for part of the routine her hair whipped across her face. Her highlights shone in the stadium light. Her dress shined in the stadium light as well. It was a one strap top that had gold sequins. Golden roses were all over the bottom part of the dress that went down to her ankles. Her smile, that every other Colorguard member wore, actually looked genuine. He was mesmerized. Until the routine was over his eyes never left this beyond beautiful girl. In that dress, she looks like a... princess. Duncan thought. He knew that he had to see her again. He knew that she was unlike the other girls that he had hung out with or dated. She seemed different, and Duncan liked different.

After the halftime show Courtney couldn't stop smiling. It had gone so well and she didn't drop a single toss. That was almost a miracle considering that the wind was blowing fairly hard. After halftime you could leave if you wanted to and Courtney planned to do just that. Besides their football team had never won a single game, ever. Most likely history would repeat itself so she didn't want to waste her time. She grabbed her equipment and started her long walk to the Junior parking lot.
Courtney's dress was a little too long for her and she had to roll some of it into her hand. They couldn't just make these dresses shorter could they? She thought with annoyance. She had made it to the Senior lot but to get to the Junior lot you had to walk down the world's steepest steps and then a winding hill. At the bottom was the very poorly lit lot. At night it was not safe to be down there alone. Courtney knew that but she was so exhausted that she didn't care. As she began her trek she heard some rustling in the bushes next to her.
"Hello?" the girl called out in fear.

As the Colorguard and marching band left the field Duncan knew that he had to go catch up. He looked around and noticed that no one was watching him so he quickly ran out of the stadium and towards the Senior lot. Being in football had taught him to sprint long distances, well that and running from cops. As he approached the lot he saw his Colorguard princess trying to go down the stairs. He saw the ramp for the cars to go down to her right and ran down it. Then he hopped into a bush but the girl had heard him. Damn it.
"Hello?" she called out. Duncan could sense fear in her voice. But if he was her he would be scared too. Thankfully she just kept walking and half tripping. Then she fell and hard. She tripped on part of her dress and rolled ten steps down. Duncan flinched every time he heard her hit another step. He jumped out of the bush he was in and ran down.
Courtney was holding her head while trying to stand up. She heard someone coming and she tried to get up as quick as she could but it was too late. A guy in a black and gold football jersey came into her view. He had several facial piercings and a green Mohawk.
"Hey there princess. Do you need some help up?" Duncan asked.
"Don't call me princess," Courtney said while fixing the bottom half of her dress, "And no I don't need help." Courtney struggled with one hand to get up but she failed.
"You sure princess?" Duncan said with a smirk.
"Ugh, stop calling me princess. I actually have a name. Courtney Fontaine, to be exact." She stated with annoyance.
"Well Courtney, looks to me like you need some help. Sooo..." Duncan picked up the girl and carried her in his arms.
"NO! You put me down right now...you...you...ogre!" Courtney screamed as Duncan carried her down towards the lot.
"Hey, this 'ogre' has a name. Duncan Miller, at your service."
"Fine, Duncan, would you please put me down, now!" The 'guard' girl demanded. Duncan rolled his eyes and put her down. "Thank you. Now please leave me alone." Courtney walked away but Duncan still followed her.
"It would be crazy for me to leave someone as hot as you down here alone. You know it's dangerous down here at night."
"I think I'll be fine."
"Well I'm not taking any chances so unless you can out run me in that dress you're stuck with me until we get to your car." Duncan finished.
Courtney sighed. "Then I guess I'm stuck with you. Well at least until we get to the lot."
"So let's get to know each other a little." Duncan pestered. "We don't want it to be an awkward long walk now, do we?" Courtney turned her head away from him. "Well I guess I'll go first. My name's Duncan. I'm a Junior this year. I'm on the varsity football team and I'm single." He said with a raised eyebrow. Courtney just rolled her eyes. "Alright, it's your turn princess."
"Fine. You know my name already. This is my first official year on the Colorguard team. Last year I joined the C.I.T. team, or Colorguard in training. I'm a Junior as well. Now shouldn't you go hang out with some cheerleaders or something." Courtney said, desperately trying to rid herself of this ogre.
"I would but then I saw you and honestly, you're hotter than all of the cheerleaders combined," Duncan finished. Courtney ignored his comment even though it made her blush. She walked over to a silver Mercedes SLX and unlocked her door only. Duncan tried to open the passenger side door but stopped when he realized it was locked. Courtney started the car and backed up.
Courtney waved to Duncan as she drove up the hill and out of sight. Duncan looked around the dimly lit lot and made his way up the never ending hill. I so want her.
