"Trent what are you doing here?" Gwen asked she was surprised to see him. "And how do you know where I live?"

"Bridgette told me... and I was in the neighborhood. So I thought I'd stop by. You don't think that's stalkerish do you?" Trent asked.

"No! Haha come in do you want anything to drink?"

"No I'm fine."

"Then come in the living room with me."

The two sat on the couch next to each other Trent, noticed a reality TV playing on the TV.

"I see someone is a fan of reality TV." He said.

"Yeah I love watching them! When I want to go to sleep." Gwen joked.

"Hey Gwen!" Shawn said as he ran down the stairs. "Where should... uh who is he?"

"Oh uh... this is Trent. And Trent that is my annoying little brother Shawn." Gwen said.

"Hey! I'm not annoying!" Shawn said defensively.

"Little brothers are awesome! You know how I know?" Trent asked Gwen's younger brother.

"How?" Shawn answered.

"Because I am little brother too." Trent noticed Shawn was wearing a Linkin Park shirt. "A fan of Linkin Park?" Trent asked Shawn.

"You know it!" Shawn answered.

"They are pretty good." Trent replied. "What is your favorite song from them?"

"Hmm I think I gotta go with... Numb!" Shawn answered after much thought.

"Awesome!" Trent said.

"Well Shawn I think its time for bed." Gwen told him/

"But its only a little bit after ten!" Shawn said.

"Bed now!" Gwen demanded.

"Okay... okay. Night Trent, night lizard!" Shawn said then ran up the stairs.

"Sorry he can be kind of annoying." Gwen said.

"Its alright. I wish I had a little brother."

"Where is your older one?" Gwen asked.

"Ryan is in Afghanistan."

"He is in the war!" Gwen exclaimed.

"Yeah he's been over there for about a year now."

"How old is he?" Gwen asked.

"Twenty." Trent told her then added. "It's just me and my mom at home."

"Where is your dad?" Gwen asked.

"Oh uh... my dad died two years ago... he died in Afghanistan." Trent said.

"Oh my god! I am so sorry!" Gwen said.

"Thanks... it was really hard on all of us especially my mom. Ryan ended up joining the military because he wanted to be like my dad..."

Gwen just sat there she didn't know what to say.

"Uh... so I told you about my family. Tell me about yours." Trent said.

"Well its just me, my mom, and my brother here. My dad left us a few years ago. Since then times have been pretty tough my mom works two jobs, she works as a waitress and bartends. I've offered I can't tell you how many times to get, a job but she doesn't let me... she just says I have to worry about school and school only."

"Sorry about your dad... I hope I didn't upset you." Trent said.

"No I'm fine." Gwen told him.

Over the next hour the two spent their time talking about everything. From what they wanted to do after high school to their, favorite movies when suddenly Gwen's mom Amy walked into the house.

"Gwen I'm home!" She said as she walked into the living room. "Hello... I've never seen you before." She said to Trent.

"Oh um hi... I'm Trent its nice to meet you." He nervously said.

"I don't mean to sound mom like... but at the end of the day I am. I don't allow my teenage daughter alone with boys." Amy told him.

"Oh I am sorry I wasn't aware." Trent said he looked at the time and seen it was after eleven. "Actually I better get going my mom is expecting me home. Bye Gwen, bye Miss. Wilson" He said as he was getting up to leave.

"I'll walk you to your car." Gwen said.

"Thanks for keeping me company." Gwen told him after they reached his car.

"Actually Gwen... there was a reason I came over." Trent told her.

"Oh?" Gwen responded.

"Gwen... I like you. And I was wondering, well if tomorrow... maybe you might want to see a movie or something?" Trent nervously asked.

Gwen smiled "Yeah sure... that will be fun." she told him.

"Cool! I'll call you tomorrow then." Trent said. B

Before he get into his car he shyly kissed her. "Um was it okay for me to do that?" He nervously asked.

"Yeah I actually liked it..." Gwen told him.

Trent smiled, "Okay then... I'll see you tomorrow!" he got in his car and left.

Gwen walked back into her house to find Amy standing by the door.

"Mom were you spying on me?" She asked.

"No... yes! That was so cute!" Amy said.

"Mom! Please." Gwen said embarrassed that her mother saw the kiss.

"I am sorry! Its nice to see you have a boy your interested in." Amy told her daughter.

"I can't wait for tomorrow! I am going to call Bridgette and LeShawna!" Gwen said as she ran up to her room.

Amy smiled "Oh to be young again." she said to herself.
