Summary
She's probably the hottest girl to ever have set their sights on him—green eyes, a freckled face, stick straight blonde hair that she ties back into a high pony during cross-country practice. John finishes soccer around the same time and ever since he got his license, he's been driving her to their house afterward just to hang out for a bit. In addition to being hot, Kristen is athletic, popular, and only lives three blocks away. She's exactly the type of person John should date.

Summary
Part of him is tickled silly about seeing the full picture of it. Surely he'd laugh if it were anyone else; call them a dog for leaving that trail of bodies and rag on him until the end of time, but this is Gale, so that feeling gets flipped inside out, leaving John seething with the kind of jealousy on par with a physical burn.
He slaps on an impish grin. "Not sure what you want me to say here, Buck. Congratulations? You wanna change your nickname to Lady-Killer?"
-- John finds out a new side to Gale

Summary
"He's only her favorite because he gives her money for Christmas," Gale reasons. "Once you get a job, you can be her favorite."
Joni punches him on the arm, thumb tucked over her first two fingers just like John had taught her. "Way to make it worse."
"Well, you always argue with me when I tell you that he's not her favorite," Gale protests, rubbing his arm.
"Because you're lying," Joni says. "He was Dad's favorite, too."
-- being a teenager is rough for Joni

Summary
"You got a name?" the man asks. They're almost of height. He's got cedar brown hair and is slimmer than Gale, but in a way that speaks of nature and genes instead of deliberate starvation.
Gale says, "Buck."
"I'm Paul. That your real name, Buck?"
"No," Gale says, and feels like he's lying.
-- After the war, Gale changes
