--Gwen's POV--


My mom took me to the park and I ran over to the swings. I wore my usual navy blue dress and my combat boots. I played for a while and ran around the playground. I tripped and fell. Hard. My knee was bloody and hurt badly. I began to cry. I saw a shadow over me. I didn't recognize it. A figure knelt down next to me and put its hand on my shoulder. It was soft, warm, and reassuring.

"Are you okay?" the figure asked worriedly. I sniffled and looked up. There knelt a boy my age with black, spikey hair. He had electric blue eyes and a skull t-shirt. He wore baggy shorts with a slingshot in the back pocket.

"Yeah, I think so." I said, letting go of my knee.

"Oh, geez, that looks bad. Here, stay there, I'll go get a band-aid."

"Okay." I watched as he ran off. A few minutes later, he came back with a wipe and a bandage. He wiped off my knee for me and put the bandage on it. I smiled at him. He smiled back and helped me up.

"My name's Duncan. What's yours?"

"Gwen."

"Gwen." he repeated. "I like that name."

I blushed ever so slightly, "Thanks."

"Gwen!" I heard my mom calling my name.

"I better go. I can hear my mom calling me."

"Oh, okay." he said, a bit sad. I began to turn around but he yelled "Wait!" and grabbed my shoulder, so I spun around.

"Where do you live?"

"587 East Boulevard Avenue. Why?"

"We're neighbors!"

"Yay!"

"See you!"

"Bye!"


I looked back at this memory while walking down the halls of Willow High on my first day. I had just moved to Willowbrook and I was new to the school. That memory was from when I was only five years old, now I am 17 and a Junior at Willow High.

I bumped into someone while daydreaming and fell.

"Hey, watch i-wait, Gwen, is that you?"
