TDGS: Chapter 2: Harsh!

"Welcome back. So we saw what Courtney did to Duncan, and man that was 1 serious shiner dude! Haha!" Chris laughed.

"Stick it! I may have been a weakling before, but I swear, im bad, and I'll prove it!" threatened Duncan.

"Chill dude, its cool, its cool. Anyway, on to our next camper ….Gwen!"

"Oh no."

(Confessional)

"I seriously hope that they don't show me as a 7rd grader. I had some boy problems when I was turning 12."

(Confessional ends)

"And FYI, she wasn't always so doom and gloom. And, it is your 12 birthday, so have fun. Haha!"

"No."

"I'm so excited! I can't wait till my birthday!" Gwen said with excitement to her friends. She was wearing her usually clothes, a bright red t-shirt, and a pair of blue jean shorts. Her hair was short, but was held in a pony tail in the back.

"Geez Gwen, that's all you've been talking about for the last week," said her friend Mary. "Why are you so excited anyway?"

"Well I talked to my dad yesterday, and he said that even though he couldn't be here for my birthday, he was going to send me $500.00s!"

Back on the island….

"Wow Gwen, I never thought I would see you without out dye in your hair!" Trent laughed. She turned, and gave him a blank stare "Sorry," he said stopping.

Back to the video…..

"Hey there Gwen." She turned to see a boy with a black t-shirt, and khaki pants on, standing behind her. He had blonde hair, green eyes, and perfect white teeth.

"Hey Mike," she said with a love sigh.

"I just wanted to let you know, I'll be at your party."

"Great…see you there." As he walked away, she turned back to her friends. "I can't wait."

Saturday….Gwen's House…..

"Hey guys, welcome. Join the party and make yourself at home." Gwen said as she greeted her guest. She was scanning the room for Mike. She started to get worried that he wasn't coming, when the doorbell rang. She answered the door to see him standing there. "Hi Mike."

"Hey. You look really good in your new outfit." She started to blush. Her mom had gotten her a red, skin tight sweater, and a blue jean mini skirt. Gwen was really surprised, especially because her parents forbid her from ever wearing miniskirts.

"Thanks. Come on in. foods in the kitchen, and drinks are on the counter, so enjoy yourself."

"Thanks, and I will." As he walked away, Mary pulled her over to the other side of the room.

"We're gonna play spin the bottle. We're gonna set up you and Mike."

"No you're not. I'm not playing. I hate that game, and you know that."

"Fine, but I will get you 2 together by the end of the night."

"Whatever. Just don't pressure him." As she started to walk away, a guy bumped into her, and spilled punch on her new sweater.

"Oh great, you got punch all over my new sweater!" she yelled at him.

"I'm so sorry!"

"Who are you anyway?"

"I'm Trent. I just moved down the street a couple of days ago."

"How did you get in here? How did you even know about this party?"

"My cousin, Joe, told me about it, and then he had mom call your mom and ask if it was ok for me to come."

"Well its not! Now Get out!" she yelled at him. His eyes were wide with shock. He turned around and headed for the door. On his way out, he told his cousin, and all his new classmates bye, and left with a feeling of sadness and reject in his heart. Everyone turned and glared at Gwen.

"Geez Gwen, you didn't have to throw him out over a little punch," said Mary.

"Well its done now. I'm sure he'll be fine."

"Yea n]know what Gwen, he's not gonna be ok. Ever since he was a kid, Trent has always been made fun of for either liking music, or being too nice, or getting beaten up for helping someone else. He didn't do it on purpose, and he apologized. Next, lay off my cousin." Joe said to her with a bit of anger in his voice.

"Whatever. I'm going to change." She ran upstairs and changed into a black t-shirt, and headed back for the party. As she was going down the stairs, she overheard Mary talking to Mike.

"So what do you think about Gwen?"

"She pretty cool. Though what she did to Trent was pretty harsh, I mean, he didn't do it on purpose. I hope he's gonna be ok."

"I know. She can have a short temper, but she's really not that bad. So…do you like her?" Gwen almost had a heart attack when she heard the question.

"Yea, but only as a friend. She doesn't seem like my type."

Gwen was heartbroken. She almost started to cry. Then she remembered that she still had to entertain everyone. She pulled herself together, and put on her best "Happy" face. When the party was over, she went into her room, and cried. As she sat there, she made a promise to herself.

"I will never let a guy have this much effect me ever again."

She then heard a flash of lightning. She looked out the window, when the phone rang. She didn't bother to answer. She figured her mom would answer. As she laid there, she heard her mom talking on the phone and call her name.

"Gwendealen! Get down here right now!" she reluctantly went down stairs.

"Yea?"

"Why in the world would you throw someone out of the party for spilling punch on you by accident?"

"I don't know, I was mad. Why does it matter anymore anyway?"

"Because he never came home."

"What?"

"He told Joe he was going home. Joe got a call from his aunt about 20 minutes ago asking if he was with him. When they found out he wasn't anywhere, they got worried. He doesn't have a jacket, and could get hurt out there in the rain."

"Trent never came home? And he's out there?" Gwen's eye started to tear up. She felt so bad for what she did. She ran to get her jacket, and a blanket. "Mom, I'm gonna go find him, and apologize. I'll be back as soon as I know he's ok." With that, she ran off into the rain looking for him.

She looked all around the neighborhood, with no trace of him anywhere. Then she heard something. It was the faint sound of a guitar playing. She followed, as if in a trace. When she found the source of the sound, she was relieved to see it was Trent play it. He had been hiding out at the playground, using it for shelter. Gwen was going to go up to him and give it to him when she thought about something. As she looked at him from a far, she realized that she liked him even more then she did Mike.

At this realization, she knew that she had to keep her promise. She snuck up to him, and hid behind the slide. She placed the blanket next to him, and snuck off without him noticing her.

When Trent turned around again, he noticed the blanket, and the note attached to it. Get home soon. Your mom is really worried. And stay warm.

-a friend

He took the blanket, and covered himself, and his guitar. He ran as fast as he could toward the direction of his house.

Gwen watched as he ran home, and went home herself, which was in the opposite direction. When she got home, she changed into her pajamas, and went to her room. On her way there, she poked her head into her mom's room.

"I found him mom. I'm goin to bed."

"Night honey. And good job."

"Thanks. Night." When she got into bed, she stared at the ceiling, and restated her promise.

" I will never let a guy have this much effect on me again!"

Back on the island…..

"Man that was harsh! Why are all the girls on this island so mean to the guys? I mean come on Gwen, it was an accident! He didn't do it on purpose!" Chris said looking at her.

"Shut it Chris. I still feel bad about that. Trent, I'm really sorry."

"You know, it's funny. When I first saw you, I fell in love with you. When you through me out, I knew that would never have a chance with you. I wanted to be alone, and got caught in the rain. I feel better knowing that you weren't angry, but that you cared. And thanks for the blanket." Trent said with a smile on his face.

"No prob. And there's something else that you didn't get." She pulled a homemade invite to her 12th birthday party and gave it to him. "Sorry it's a little late. I wasn't sure if I would ever see you again, or if you would ever forgive me."

"Thanks, and I do forgive you."He gave a kiss, and looked at the invite.

"Well isn't that just sweet? It's also bad for the ratings, so don't keep it doing it," Chris said to the Campers. "Next on our list is…..Izzy!" Everyone looked at her with aw.

"What?" she asked confused.

"We're gonna show why you're so crazy, and man it is seriously wack! I can't wait. But you'll all just have to wait until after this commercial break."

And that's the end. So now we know why Gwen is goth. She had some serious guy probs. And Chris is right. What's with the girls being all mean to the Guys? But anyway, Next up is Izzy, and you won't belive why she's crazy.

Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed it. Please review!
