Tosh herd the door bell ring and ran to get to it before her mother could calling out "I've got it!"
"Hey Tosh. Ready to go?" Owen asked Tosh when she opened the door.
"Yes. I mean, yeah." Tosh corrected herself, trying to sound cooler and more relaxed. Maybe this year Owen will see her for more then just a friend. After all, they'll be going into grade 11 this year, and she's done waiting.
"Well then, come on! I'm not going to wait for you and be late for first period…wait, did I just say that? Screw it, go take a shower for all I care,"
"I'm coming Owen, I wouldn't make you late on the first day," Tosh joked as she pulled her shoes on and watched Owen turn on his heels and walk down the driveway. She did more then watched, she studied him, the way his jeans rested on his ass…
"Tosh! You coming?" Owen hollered from the sidewalk. Tosh snapped out of her daze and hurried after him slinging her bag over one shoulder.
"Rhys, why couldn't I stay there with you and everyone. I'm not going to fit in, I'll get lost!"
"Gwen Cooper, don't you doubt yourself, you'll do just fine. I'll come over on the weekend and you can tell me all about your new school. Just relax and be yourself."
"Okay, promise. Bye, bye, bye."
Gwen snapped her mobile shut and turned to face the new high school. She sighed and looked down at her mobile at a picture of her and Rhys during the summer at the beach.
Someone bumped into her causing the phone to fall out of her hands and crash on the ground. The casing sliding one way and the battery the opposite.
"Oi! What's that for?" an annoyed Gwen Cooper asked her 'attacker'.
"Owen, jeez. Watch where your going,"
"Oh, uh sorry-, um I don't think I've seen you 'round here before. What grade are you?"
Gwen looked up and the young man that bumped into her. She registered his name as being Owen from what the small, frail Asian girl had said.
"I'm Gwen, Gwen Cooper. Grade 11."
"Well hello Gwen, Owen Harper. Grade 11." Owen introduced himself. Tosh playfully punched Owen in the arm.
"Oh, and this is Tosh Sato. Computer whiz, best friend." Owen told Gwen giving a brief bio of Tosh.
"I'd like to be more then that," Tosh told herself under her breath and thankfully no one heard.
"Is Harper bothering you?" A voice asked Gwen.
"Go find someone to snog Jack," Owen said coldly.
Gwen looked up to find a man about her age holding out a hand with her mobile battery in his palm.
"Gwen meet Jack Harkness," Owen told her rolling his eyes at Jack.
