"…And all I have to do is find a date for her sister. I told you I could handle Courtney," Duncan said as he and Geoff marched up the stairs.
"Trying to find a guy for Gwen is like trying to find a bone for a cat… who doesn't like bones," Geoff explained. Duncan scrunched his face in confusion. "The point is- it's hard. But, lucky for you I've gathered up a few eligible 'senior' bachelors in this school to room 335. We'll interview them and see who's somewhat interested in her."
They entered the room and began to individually call each boy.
"So, Noah, do you know who Gwen Stratford is?" Geoff asked, looking at his clipboard.
"You mean the freak of nature who thinks she's smarter than me? Yea, I wouldn't get within a five mile radius of her."
"So you wouldn't, let's say, socialize with her?" Noah forcefully blinked, stood up, and walked away.

"So, Tyler, have you ever met Gwen Stratford?" Geoff asked.
"That crazy girl? She threw me off a diving board when I accidentally bumped into her when I was playing football. I got a concussion, nine stitches on my face, and a sprained arm."

"Umm, Cody, would you ever date Gwen Stratford?" Duncan asked.
"Any time any where. I am definitely attracted to her, and I can tell that she's attracted to me as well," Cody said, leaning on his chair. Geoff and Duncan looked at Cody from head to toe, and then turned to each other.
"Next."

"Harold, would you see Gwen Stratford-"
Harold immediately began to erratically scream like a six-year-old girl.

"Well that didn't go very well," Duncan said, reviewing the list of potential candidates. The list contained the names of all of the single senior boys in there school. Duncan scanned through the list. All of the names had an 'x' next to them, except for one.
"Hey Geoff, what about this guy, Verona?" Geoff covered Duncan's mouth and pulled him to the side.
"Dude, don't just say his name like that!" Duncan shoved Geoff's hand from him.
"What is he? Some kind of 'tough guy'?"
"No not at all. He's just… strange," Geoff awkwardly said.
"What do you mean?" Duncan asked.
"Well, he transferred here last year, about two months after school started. A bunch of girls found him to be, I guess the word is attractive. Justin became jealous and started spreading rumors about him. He's a cool guy, but, because of Justin, he's a bit of an outcast."
"Okay, well, what do you know about him?"
"I know that he's charming with girls, but he has some crazy obsessions."
"Well, it's not like Gwen doesn't have her flaws."
"Still, I'm not sure about him."
"Let's get this clear: he doesn't fit in, she doesn't fit in. He's unwanted, she's unwanted. It's like they were made for each other."
"I don't know. Can't we go over the list again?" Geoff asked. Duncan flicked his pencil against the paper.
"Let's face it; he's our only hope," Duncan said. "He's our guy; Trent Verona."
