Gwen's P.O.V

I slumped in my seat as my mom was muttering to herself about me being 'late' for the first day of school. We were early! School opens in 20 minutes and we're almost there. I don't even think the principal was there yet. But you can't argue with my mom when her mind's set on one thing.

Then a red light appeared and she hit the brakes. I slammed forward but the seatbelt was on lock and it pulled me back almost chocking me. Then I heard my mom cussing under her breath. I rolled my eyes, how stupid can she be?

"Mom we're 20 minutes EARLY, which means we're not supposed to be in the car almost at school right now"

"Sweetie we're 20 minutes early because it's a new school and we need to go to the principals' office so we can meet your new principal. Then you need a tour of the school so you know where to go and not get lost." She said impatiently.

The light turned green and she put her foot on the gas pedal again. Thrusting me backwards into my seat.

"OUCH! Watch it mom" I complained rubbing the back of my head.

"Sorry dear" she said absentmindedly.

Duncan's P.O.V

I'm sitting in the front seat thinking of Gwen having the time of her life at her new school. I sighed.

'She probably has a new boyfriend and better friends' I thought.

"Duncan, are you ok?" my dad asked beside me.

I shook my head, "yea I'm fine."

"Good"

Then we sat in random and awkward silence for at least 10 minutes looking at the road.

Then I looked beside me and saw a lady with brown poofy hair looking at the time every second. Then I looked beside her and there was a really hot girl. She was Goth and looked a lot like Gwen...

'No Duncan stop thinking about Gwen, she moved away she's not here anymore'

But even though my thoughts kept on saying that I kept on looking at the Goth girl and every time I look at her she looked strangely more and more like Gwen. Then the red light turned green and my dad pushed on the gas pedal. But before we drove away the girl looked at me and looked totally shocked. Her mouth wide open and eyes wide.

Then I knew that it WAS Gwen, my best friend, my partner in crime, the person who moved years ago... My ex girlfriend.

"Duncan was that Gwen in the car? I thought I recognized her mom" my dad said taking me back into reality.

"Yea... I think it was..." I said. I just couldn't believe it, she's back.

Gwen's P.O.V

I'm sitting in my car, my mom waiting for the red light to turn green and who do I see? DUNCAN! THAT'S WHO! I'm freaking out right now, I just can't believe it! All I did is look at my mom trying to calm her down and in the corner of my eye I see a punk looking at me so I look at him and it's Duncan!

I didn't know he still lives here! Ok ok I know I moved away from this place 2 years ago but here's what happened.

We went to Toronto for my mom's job interview and it was going great. Me and my brother went to school and we met some cool-ish friends but we didn't know what our mother was applying a job to.

So one day we just HAD to know so at I think 3 in the morning we snuck into her office and looked in her boxes, suitcases, binders and everything but we couldn't find anything about her job application. So we went back to sleep.

Next night we tried again but still nothing. But we wouldn't give up; we tried to find anything to give us a hint but nothing until one day. It was my birthday and I just turned 19 and my mom thought I was old enough for her to tell me her job cu she kept it a secret for 1 year since we moved.

"Ok my job is well kinda a bad influence on you guys so that's why I hid my papers on what I was, I'm sorry but I thought you'd get mad at me" she said sadly, finally telling me the truth. "I work at a stripper restaurant" she told me totally ashamed of herself.

This surprised me a little; I never thought my mom would EVER do that.

"But... why?" I asked,

"Because when your father died I couldn't stop thinking about him" she replied tears coming down her cheeks.

That reply hit me like a punch to the stomach, my dad died when I was 10 years old which meant my brother was 3.

'Wow' I thought 'she never let go of him' I felt tears running down my cheeks too. Then my mom pulled me into a tight hug. The next day she got fired for I don't know why the hell of a reason.

"Well then" my mom told us, "I guess it's time to move back."

"Move back?" my brother asked confused "what do you mean 'move back'?"

"She means go back to our old city idiot" I replied.

"OMG YAY!" he screamed jumping up and down which I thought wasn't a very guy-ish thing to do. But I also thought of Duncan.

'I wonder if he still lives there' I thought.

So we packed back up and went back but I didn't even know that Duncan was still living here. So when I did today I had excitement and shock. Excited to see him, my best friend but shocked BECAUSE I saw him.
