The Goth Girl and her Shadow

chapter 1: The Loneliness

After Gwen found her key with Trent's help, she saw a letter on her bed. She thought and believed was from Trent and it told her to meet him at the docks. So the goth girl left and went to go see Trent as the letter advised. However, when Gwen got the docks, she saw something she did not want to see: Trent was kissing Heather. Gwen dropped the letter and crumbled it up, feeling very hurt and angry, she then ran away crying.

Trent got the evil Asian girl off him as he saw the goth girl go away, the girl he had strong feelings for. "Gwen, wait, come back!"

Heather smirked, she had planned this all along. "Perfect."

Trent glared at Heather, he was going to make her pay for this once they would get things settled. "You're nothing but a cold-hearted snake!" he then ditched her to run away and find Gwen.

At the forest, Gwen was sitting on the grass and crying her eyes out. She didn't even want to come to Total Drama, she didn't even want this to be apart of her life, she had fallen in love with Trent, the only person worth talking to around here. She felt like her life couldn't get any worse than this, but it probably would.

"Hey, are you okay?" a voice asked.

Gwen looked up to see who was talking to her, it was a young man who was probably two years older than her with black hair and a blue beanie hat, wearing a green hoodie, a black jacket over top of it, blue jeans, black and white shoes. "Who are you?" she sniffled.

"I could be asking you the same thing." the man lightly chuckled in an attempt to bring her to a better mood.

Gwen heaved a sharp sigh before bringing him up to speed with what just happened. "Well, I ran away, because... I saw this guy I really like and he was kissing a girl I really hate... We all hate her... But they were making out!"

"Man, that really sucks." the man felt her pain, not being too old to shrug off teen drama like any other adult would.

"Tell me about it..." Gwen was very angry now. "Man, I didn't even sign up for this stupid show!"

The man couldn't help but laugh now.

Gwen glared at him. "What's so funny?"

"It's just that you remind me of my little sister," the man said, settling himself after laughs. "She gets easily irritated with people sometimes too."

Gwen seemed to smile at little. "Really, that's cool... What's her name?"

"Jennifer, but we call her 'Jen' for short."

'Attention, campers!' Chris called over the PA system, cutting this sweet moment rather short. 'It's time to unlock your treasure! Arrgh!'

Gwen rolled her eyes, she really hated Chris and that he interrupted this moment, then looked back to the man. "Great... I better go, umm... What's your name?"

"Jamie." the man gave his name.

"I'm Gwen," the goth teen then gave her name as she got ready to leave. "I gotta go, it was nice meeting you, Jamie."

"Same here, Gwen." Jamie smiled.

Gwen was about to go, but she couldn't leave without possibly never seeing him again, she looked back at him before getting back to camp. "Hey, you think we'll see each other again?" But when she looked back, there was no one there, Jamie was gone. "That's weird..." she said to herself before leaving.

Unknown to Gwen, Jamie was hiding in the shadows, behind a tree.

"Don't worry, Gwen, we'll see each other again." Jamie quietly promised as Gwen left, vowing to meet her before she may get eliminated off the show or before this season would be through.
