The New Girl.

I sat in Nickys as usual on a night. There are 3 days left of ocober half term, one party at the Dells as usual. We are going into our senior year this year. Caleb, Sarah, Pogue and Kate were sat in the corner being all loved up.

Who should walk in then, Aaron Abbott. Me and Tyler decide to play some pool with him.

'Hey, Wanna play. $30. Not much compared to what we could do.'

'Yeah, sure.' It was me and Tyler againest Aaron and some dude. A girl walked in. She was medium height around 5'7. Small to me seeing as I am 6'1 She had auburn hair which falls past her shoulders and a side fringe falling into her left eye slightly. She was wearing a pair of navy tights,a light denim skirt which ended mid thigh, a white baggy top with a black pattern on it, a black leather jacket, a pair of high top white converse and a pair of tattered black fingerless gloves. She looked good. Weird fashion sense, but it suited her. She walked past the pool table to the bar. Nicky walked round and gave her a hug. Okay this was weird. He doesn't hug people.

'Gwen, hows your dad.'

'Idiot.'

'That bad huh.' She nodded.

'He got remarried.'

'Shit. Really?'

'Yeah.'

'So, you staying here now.'

'For the rest of the school year, yeah.'

'Spencer?'

She nodded. 'Yeah, Scholarship.'

'I always knew you were a smart kid, So anyway, The person he married...'

'Goldigger, Bitch, Bimbo... I could go on, but it would take me awhile.'

'I know you loved your mum kiddo, but didn't you expect this of your dad.'

'Yeah, but he didn't tell me. That's the bit I hate the most.' She sounded upset, not angry.

'He loved her, she made him a better person. Your Mum and Dad were my best friends and you are just like your mum. In looks and personality.'

'As I have been told.' She looked upset for some reason.

'Well what you gonna do tonight? Draw by any chance?'

'You suck, you know that?'

'Maybe. Maybe not.' She smiled, it was small. I heard Nicky say that her name is Gwen. She turned round. Then I noticed she had the most beautiful colour of eyes. There were brown but the had hints of gold and green in them. It could be classed as hazel, but they aren't. Her eyes have depth, and they looked pained. They looked as if they were hiding her life, hiding secrets.

She walked over to a corner and sat down. Pulling out a sketch pad and she started to draw. She looked peaceful. Then some weird Britney Spears song came on. She sighed pulled out her IPod and chose a song. She continued drawing, at peace. She looked up, I thought she was looking at me but, she is drawing what looked like the bar.

'Hey, Reid. You break.'

I picked up a pool cue, aimed, pulled back and shot. Two went in. I didn't use. What is the point? I think the novelty is wearing off. The game ended. We won, I looked at the girl again. She was still drawing, her hand moving gracefully over the page, like she wasn't thinking, just drawing. Aaron noticed me looking at her, he walked over and sat next to her.

I tried not to be bothered. But I listened anyway. I didn't like this girl, she just intrigued me.

'Hey.' Her eyes flickered away from the page for a second. 'I'm Aaron Abbott.' He smirked. She lifted her head and put down the pencil, closed the sketch pad and sat up straight. She couldn't be interested in him. Could she?

'Hi, Gwen Easton.' Her smile was small and forced, you could tell.

'I was wondering if you would like to go out with me sometime.' He slung an arm over her shoulder and winked at me. She noticed, looked at me and smiled. A geniuine smile. And I knew she was going to do something.

'Well, how do I say this.' She turned towards him, lifting her hand putting it on his shoulder. 'No way in hell.' And she shoved so hard that he fell off the chair. She smiled, stood up and walked out.

She was good.
