Also, some of you have a selective memory about Duncan. The guy may have been looking out for Gwen, but he's also been a jerk*** who has done some morally-questionable things over the past couple of seasons. The way I see it, Gwen rejecting him is part of his comeuppance for cheating on Courtney and splitting Courtney and Gwen apart in TDWT.

And while the Gwentney friendship may seem OOC to some of you, I think it's just the culmination of what would have eventually happened in TDWT had Duncan not come back and initiated the whole love triangle fiasco. Do you think Gwen truly wants to be a loner or to be dark all the time? I doubt it. She's a regular teenage girl. The same thing could be said about Courtney. And I think that if any of Gwen's other friends (such as Bridgette or Leshawna) had as much interaction with Gwen as Courtney has over the past couple of seasons, you'd be seeing more of Gwen's softer side with them too.
