"Sometimes memories are the worst forms of torture."

"Well, if it's not frostbite, then what is it?"
"It's disgusting is what it is, Carol," Gwen scrunches up her face.

Over the past few months, Gwens healed a lot of her old mental wounds. That's not to say that she doesn't get overwhelmed about everything sometimes, but she's made a lot of progress.

Gwen grins, smoothing out her overalls and cuffing her sweater sleeves. "It's my favorite pastime, actually."
Nancy sighs. "Hey, Gwen."
"Hey, Nance," Gwen waves.
Their attention is brought away to sound of an engine revving and tires screeching. Steve and Nancy get out of the car to watch and Gwen furrows her eyebrows at the new blue Chevrolet Camaro making its way into the parking lot.

He must be one of the hottest guys Gwen has ever seen.
A girl Dustins age steps out of the passenger seat, a skateboard under her arm. She has red hair, jeans, and a red jacket.
She wastes no time in dropping her skateboard on the pavement and riding away, probably to get the attention off of her.
The boy makes eye contact with Gwen, making her stomach do more flips than an olympic gymnast. He winks before discarding his cigarette and waking towards the school.
