Gwen's POV
While walking home I caught Huey stealing glances at me. After about the 13th time I got annoyed so I turned to him and spoke "Is something bothering you about me?" he stopped dead in his tracks and his eyes widened slightly. I guess he thought he was being inconspicuous. I raised my eyebrow as I awaited his answer. "Who are you really? You seem to have multiple personalities. Yesterday you seemed like the cautious type. Then on the walk up you were acting like the friendly type. Then in the classroom you were acting like the bashful type."
So he DID notice; I gave a chuckle which only seemed to annoy him. "Good catch; most people don't notice those changes." "You didn't answer my question. Who are you really?" His annoyance was easy to read through his voice. "Who am I, ne? That is an excellent question." I bit on my pointer finger knuckle and looked to the sky while I collected my thoughts. "I guess I'm a little of everything." I spoke looking back at him to see him raise his eyebrow.
"I don't trust easily; I'm also loyal to those in my circle and I will fight to defend those I'm close to. I do enjoying some of the more girly pastimes like dressing up and doing my hair; but I'm also a bit of a tomboy, as I don't particularly like playing house or with dolls. I guess in short I'm just me." I watched for his reaction as I finished. Slowly his suspicion slipped away; maybe he is trustworthy after all.
Huey's POV
Given her self description she seems a lot like me, however I don't think that's all there is to her. I wonder if there is anything more online.
Gwen's POV
We continued walking home in complete silence, the majority of the tension gone. He trusts me more, that much I can tell, but I don't have his COMPLETE trust just yet. No worries though; I'm sure we have a mutual understanding of each other that will slowly make its way to the surface. For now I just need to patiently wait for it.
Huey's POV
Once home I searched online for her name: Gwen Burson. I was able to find several pictures of her trying to save forests, and promoting harmony between racial groups back in Tokyo but that was about it; how curious.
Gwen's POV
Once home I did all my homework immediately, cooked myself some Salmon in lemon dill sauce with steamed asparagus and au gratin potatoes. I then spent the rest of the night watching TV before going to bed at 10 p.m.
