A/n- I apologize in advance for the shortness. My one-shots will vary in length throughout this book.

"...but it was like—once I did something bad, it was so much fun I just wanted more!"

"Well, you could always give me that kiss; that'd be pretty bad."

Courtney lay awake in the Killer Bass cabin. She had no idea what time it was, but she didn't care. The moment she and Duncan shared outside the guys' cabin replayed in her mind like a VHS tape.

Courtney had never kissed a guy before. She kept thinking about the way their lips felt together—mushy, slimy- Ew -tender, and passionate. She told herself she'd never be caught dead kissing that Neanderthal. But tonight, she couldn't help herself. She had way too much fun stealing from Chef— it was undoubtedly concerning for someone with Courtney's convictions. She experienced a rush like never before. She thought adrenaline only came from winning a spelling bee or school debate tournament. Boy, was she wrong.

Duncan made Courtney feel antsy and high at the same time. He was the closest thing she had ever gotten to a drug. These intense feelings were scarier than the challenges Chris was making them do. Well, scarier than most of the challenges.

Courtney blushed and pulled her blanket over her cheeks as her mind wandered. She pictured them holding hands by the dock. She thought his hand would feel tough but gentle. Maybe the ocean would look like pools reflected in his teal eyes. Perhaps they'd kiss again. Her heart pounded in her chest. She felt it in her ears.

The more Courtney thought about Duncan, the more she wanted to talk to him. Morning could not be any further away. What would she say to him? Would she ask him about the kiss, or did they have an unspoken relationship now? She didn't know how these things worked. Maybe I shouldn't say anything to save the awkwardness, she told herself. I'll just "go with the flow" and see what happens. That's what Duncan would do.

Courtney was many things, but she was not a "bad girl." No one who knew her would ever classify her as one. But Duncan showed her what things could be like. Being bad felt kind of—liberating. Courtney felt free with Duncan. He brought out a part of her that she never knew she had. She wanted to be like Duncan—to not be afraid of the unknown and instead savor it. After all, she was still young. The thrill of the unknown was all she had.

And she just wanted more.
