Gwen couldn't help but laugh a little at Peter's unusual way of getting Tim to pay attention to Mrs. Albert, smiling and waving at Peter when she saw he wasn't mad. "Hey, wanna grab at a bite during lunch?" She mouthed to him, hearing Mrs. Albert clear her throat which made Gwen turn around since Peter did sit behind her after all. "Miss. Stacy, please pay attention! I'm sure your father wouldn't approve of you not-" Mrs. Albert said before she stopped, seeing Gwen almost in tears after she mentioned her father. "M-May I be excused?" Gwen asked, Mrs. Albert nodding her head yes which made Gwen quickly leave the room at a run for the girls bathroom. No one was in there so she hurriedly went into a stall, closing the door and locking it before she sat down and started to cry her eyes out.

Gwen had missed her father so much lately, but she hadn't let anyone know, not even Peter and her own family. She pulled her knees up to her chest and hugged them tightly, not wanting to go back to class. After the first bell rang and second period class had started, Gwen still wasn't back to her class. One of the girls told the teach what happened and he asked for volunteers. Tim's hand immediately shot up, knowing this was his chance to finally win over Gwen.
