I know this entry is super, duper late, but I had a very long, hard week. But a big thank you to Sakura Blossom Storm who is letting me post this entry late! I was really excited to write this one, so I'm really happy about the deadline extension!

So I did Trent and Gwen, with the theme of Feeling Alone. I got inspiration for this oneshot from the Glee finale where Finn takes Rachel out on a date…one of my favourite TV show scenes ever maybe? I don't know. Don't ask why I love it so much….:P

All throughout high school, I had been a loner. I had barely any friends, no boyfriends, and I only really talked to people when I absolutely had to; so when Trent Smith came up and asked me out on a date, I was beyond speechless.

Of course I accepted. I was sick of feeling alone and unwanted all the time, so why not? I didn't know Trent all that well, but I knew that he was in the school band, and that he sometimes played songs on his guitar for local charity events. I had talked to him a few times, about schoolwork and everything, but nothing that personal. He knew nothing about me, really, and I knew not much more about him.

For the date, I had no idea what to wear. I had never been on one before, so how should I know what to wear? And I did not waste my time watching those stupid, preppy, girly, love movies on my Saturday nights. Those always made me gag! So I just decided to wear my everyday clothes, and just hope for the best.

Trent had told me to meet him at the bridge in the park at 7:30. When I got there, I pleased to see that he had shown up, and was on time. He was dressed casually as well, wearing a pair of black pants, and a green shirt with a hand print on it.

"Hey Gwen," he greeted. "You look beautiful."

When you imagine someone giving you a compliment like this in your dreams, you always seem to know what to reply…but when it actually happens, you actually become totally tongue tied. Well, at least I do.

"I always dress like this though," I breathed, trying not to sound rude, knowing right away that I had said the wrong thing. But Trent made me feel that I had said the correct thing.

"I know, but still," he smiled. After he spoke, I could feel him touching my hand. I didn't really know what to do, so I gently grabbed it, hoping he would hold my hand back. Thankfully, he did. Then we started walking.

"Come on, I have some place to take you!" He grinned, leading the way.

Turns out, Trent had made a reservation at some fancy buffet. I was thrilled. I loved buffets, mostly because you could have a variety of food instead of just having one thing. Cheesy, I know.

Over dinner, Trent and I got in a real deep conversation. We just seemed to click. I could never imagine myself getting along this well with a guy before, but it was happening. Right here, right now. It turns out that we were both really into a variety of arts, and we talked about that, a lot. We also talked about our childhood, our families, and a bunch of other random stuff.

After dinner was done, Trent drove me home, and even walked me up to the door. He leaned in, and gave me a quick peck on the lips goodnight, saying we should do this again sometime.

As I walked back into my house, I wanted to squeal. My first date, my first kiss, and maybe even my first boyfriend, all in one night. The feeling of being alone was all gone for now, and would hopefully never come upon me again.

That night, I dreamed many pleasant dreams, and I got right to sleep, smiling in delight as I drifted off to sleep.

And there it is! I hope you guys liked it! It's definitely not my best work, but I enjoed writing it.

Thanks everyone for reading! :D
