I slammed the car door behind me as I get out. I stared at my old boring gray house; I couldn't believe that I, Gwen Nelson, was back in Toronto Canada! I was just living in New York for the whole summer, and now I was back here, in Canada.

Canada is one of the most boring places in the whole entire world! Nothing good ever happens here, it's so gloomy and boring here, but yet in New York, everything felt more alive and exciting! But I was only there for a summer and loved it. I was there to visit my grandma, who I adore, were super close, always have been. But now I'm home, missing New York, and my grandma.

But a part of me is excited; I'm back for my finale year of high school! I can't wait to go off to college and start my life. I also came back with a new look, I use to be Goth but I l got rid off all my Goth clothes, my midnight blue lipstick, and got rid of my midnight blue highlights. Now I had black hair that was a little below my shoulders, I was still a tom boy, I don't wear any of that girly shit. But I started to wear more Jewelry, I pierced my ears over the summer, I wear a different earrings everyday, but I just wear the same locket on my neck everyday I got from my ex-boyfriend, and I wear friendships bracelets on my hands from all my best friends, and that's all I wear, nothing big.

I got out my keys and opened the front door, as I walked in I set my suitcase on the ground. I smile. There's a big banner hanging in my living room that says "Welcome Home Gwen!"

Suddenly my mom, dad, and brother rush in the living room, we all say how much we missed each other, and how glad we are to be together again, mostly all the welcome back crap.

My mom gives me a Welcome Back gift, I slowly tear off the wrapping, and when all the wrapping is off I freak out.

"No way! This is insane!" I cried "you got me a laptop!" I know it's that too much to get excited about, but I'm obsessed with going on the computer, and last year my laptop broke and my parents couldn't afford a new one for me.

"It even has all your pictures reloaded on there" My dad added. I smiled and slowly shed a tear that meant I had all the pictures of Jack on there.

"Thank you guys." I said as I hugged them "but um, I'm sorry to ruin this moment, but can I go out? I want to go see my friends."

"Sure Hon. But be home by midnight!" My mom said.

I walked to the door but then Charlie (my brother) added "And nice look Gwen."

"Thanks Charlie." I said as I walked out the door.

But instead of going to see my friends, I was going to go to the local bar, I really need a drink.

I got in my car and drove to the bar. When I walked in, it was pretty empty, there was only 3 people sitting by the bar. I sat by a guy 2 stools away.

I waved the bar tender to me. The guy's name is Freddie; he was a senior when I was a freshman, now he works here ever since he graduated.

"Scotch please." I said. He got a cup and poured the scotch in it.

"So Gwen, How's life?"

"Damn, how did you know it was me?" Remember I have a new look now.

"You're still wearing the locket Jack gave you." Oh yeahh.

"Oh, sorry, but yeah life's good, just got back from New York" He nodded and walked away to serve another person.

I sip on my drink, but it was strong so I almost choked on it.

"You okay?" the guy sitting two stools away from me asks.

"Um,yeah. Just forgot how strong scotch is here." I say

"Oh yeah, this bar pretty much sucks, but I just needed a drink" He added. I nodded smiling. He smiled back.

"So do you live around here?" I asked.

He nodded. "Right around the block."

"I live a block away from Franklin High school." I said

"Hey I teach there!" He said his smile growing bigger

"I think I might want to teach one day, you know, once I finish school."

"No way. What's your major?"

"Um. English?"

That's what I'm teaching! He said, suddenly we both put our hands down on the table, and we happened to put our hands on top of each other. I felt a shock of electricity. He moved his hand away "Sorry, I'm Trent by the way."

"Gwen." We shook hands, I felt sparks fly through my body as we touched again.

A few drinks later we were both a little tipsy, and somehow, we ended up walking to the bathroom together, I sat on the bathroom counter, he started coming toward me, then suddenly we were kissing, it was weird, I never hooked up with strangers, but Trent, he was so cute and charming. I wanted to for sure get to know him better.

BUUZZZ! My cell phone vibrated, we both pulled away, I put my finger up saying to wait a minute, I opened up the phone and saw a text from Bridgette. My best friend. It read

OMG GWEN! I heard your back! But where the hell are you? I would have thought you would see me, your best friend, but I guess not :( but tell me when you're coming over! I miss you! –Bridge

"I'm sorry but I have to go" I said looking at him frowning. He frowned to; I gave him my number, and told me he would text me. "bye." He kissed me on the lips one finale time. I texted Bridgette I'll be at her house in 10 minutes, she replied with –

YAYYYY! Hurry up bitch! Everyone's here even Michael. –Bridge

The blood drained out of my face, I use to like Michael, and before I left, I said when I come back we can finally be together, it's a long story, he was dating this girl, he liked me, I liked him, he kissed me, I told him he had to break up with her first before we can be together, he broke up with her, the girl was still in love with him, they got back together, they broke up, this other girl kissed him, I couldn't trust him, we didn't talk for weeks, he said he loved me before I left and I said we can be a couple before I left.

Here's hoping he found another girl!

A/N: HELLO PEOPLE! Well I got this story idea from Pretty little liars, just because I realized that Aria and Gwen are alike, there both kind of loners, were both Goth, and there's more then that, so when aria came back from Finland she was different, so I decided to change Gwen too, but don't worry Aria is a tom boy, so Gwen will still act the same but she just won't look Goth. And in the story I know they were talking abut this guy Jack, you'll get to learn the story as you read on in the story, all I'm going to say that he was a big part in Gwen's life. New chapter up soon!
