Chapter 18: Chapter 18

Laura POV

I was a bit taken aback and a little scared as I watched Gabriel who was smiling and coming closer.

Every step he took made my heart beat increased and I couldn't help but smile as he sat down close to me.

"I see you missed me," He said and winked at me. I suddenly snapped out of my craziness.

"Actually no, can you please stand up, that seat is for Nelly," I said and his face fell.

"Oh, sorry," He said as he stood up "I just wanted to..." He stuttered, "Er, you called me why? "He asked puzzled.

"It was a mistake, I butt dialed you," I said after my search for an answer.

"Ohh," He said as his smile fanished, "What are you doing here anyways," He asked curiously.

"This is my new class," I said and he smiled, "Wow that's great, you finally took my advice."

"Er, Gabriel, I don't want to be rude but can you just let me be alone for a while?" i asked letting out a small smile.

He should leave already.

He's making me feel weird.

"Okay, I'll be over there. See you later," He winked as he strolled to his seat..

Ugh! I thought I told him to leave me alone and don't talk to me ever again.

I couldn't even say that to his face again.

I want to apologize but he should do that first.

I know that I am not at fault so it's his calling.

I unzipped my bag and brought out some sweets and my history note beside it. I zipped my bag back, opened my book and started reading.

The feeling of me being watched was now present.

I looked around and caught the person who was staring intensely at me.

My heart beating started to increase again and I found myself lost in his eyes as he stared at me and smiled.

His's gorgeous smile of his kept me captive and I found myself looking at his lips, with a feeling to stand up from where I was right now and kiss him on those lips.

It took all the courage in me not to do that and to just say that.

God what is wrong with me!

He kept his gaze on me and I couldn't help but feel embarrassed, trying to look away but I just couldn't.

"Hey girl, you came early today," I Nelly say as she and Harper sat down on the two seats beside me, concealing Gabriel from my eyes.

I was happy, that at least I won't stare at him again.

But there's still a part of me that wants to stare at him all day long.

"Who were you staring at like that?" Nelly asked.

"Where's Emma?" I asked.

"Don't try to change the question and you should know that she's a science student," Harper said.

"Oh my gosh, you were staring at Gabriel weren't you," Nelly gasped.

"So can't I stare at someone again?" I bat my eye lashes at her.

"You can, but this stare was different, it was full of love, passion..."

"okay, I think that's enough, I am just glancing through my history book," I said.

"Oh, big word," Harper said and I squeaked my face showing how confused I am.

"Ahat? Aren't we art students we are suppose to use the dictionary more often and 'glancing' is clearly not a big word," I protested.

"I thought that's for science and yeah, it's a big word," Harper said and I rolled my eyes.

"Anyway, I bought you guys something," I smiled as I unzipped my bag and closely brought out the snacks and sweet.

"Wow, they are beautiful," Nelly said and I rolled my eyes at her remark.

These are food not babies or dolls.

"By the way how are you coping in that house," Nelly said and she bit on her candy bar.

"Pretty great."

"Are they nice?" Harper asked.

"Extra nice," I smiled.

"Luke too?" Nelly asked and I nodded.

"The living room is gigantic, they even have a pool," I said.

"And what else?"

"I'm not done exploring," I said.

"Wait, can we come visit?" Harper asked.

"I don't really know for sure."

"Where did you get the sweets, anyway?" Nelly asked.

"From the car."

"You came with a car?" They asked agape.

"I was driven in a car by Fred, the driver."

"That's so cool," Harper said.

"Won't you give some sweets and snacks to Gabriel and his friends," Nelly winked.

"Quit that, if you want you can go give them by yourself," I said.

"Come on, if we eat too much sweets we'll get cavities," She said.

"So let's share," Nelly said.

"Share the cavities?" I asked.

"No the sweets, geez!" Nelly rolled her eyes and Harper giggled.

"Okay, go give some to them," I said as I handed some sweets over to them.

"hmm, I am busy eating this delicious snack," Nelly said and she devoured her snack.

Why don't I smack in you in place of the snack.

"Harper?" I called.

"This is so delicious am not leaving here," She said.

I huffed and stood up, while I heard the girls giggle.

I made my way to Gabriel seat and suddenly froze when he looked at me.

God! He's hot...

Wait did I just say that?

"Hey Gab," I said.

"Hey, Laura, I thought you needed some space," He said.

"I just came to give you this," I said as I handed the snacks and sweets to him.

"Thanks," He smiled.

"What about ours?" Max and Ricky asked.

"It's with Gabriel," I smiled.

"Hand it over dude," Ricky said as he dragged some off Gabriel's arm.

They started their boys argument and I turned to leave.

But deep down I was hoping that I could stay there forever with him holding me tight and the thought scares me.

From nowhere, a hand rested on my shoulder and I turned, "Where are you going," He asked now standing.

"To my seat."

"Why don't you stay a little, you can have my seat," He proposed.

"Then where exactly will you sit?"

"I'll stand and we'll talk, that is if you want," He smiled.

"I.. I um...sure, I mean I want to talk...but I can't sit.... Sorry," I stuttered.

"Okay why don't you come closer, you're a bit far from me," He said and I stepped closer.

"No, I meant sit closer to me," He said shyly.

"I kinda like the view from there."

"Oh," He said nodding his head.

Now I made him feel sad.

"But you guys can come sit closer to me, like at my front or back?"

"That will be great, help me carry some stuffs," He said and turned to Max and Ricky.

"We are packing to another seat if you don't mind," He said.

"We're cool with it, you want to be closer to your girlfriend, we understand," Ricky said as he stood up and I couldn't help but blush.

Did he indirectly say that me and Gabriel are dating.

But that's not true, but I would love for it to be true.

What?

Okay! Pull your self together Laura.

"He's not my boyfriend," I said.

"He is," Max protested.

"Look, we aren't dating so technically she's not my girlfriend," Gabriel said and I felt somewhat sad but I shook it off.

"You both always think negative, I meant a girl that is your friend, as in girlfriend," Ricky said.

"Oh!" Me and Gabriel said.

"Gosh, I know that Gabriel would wa..." Ricky was saying but Gabriel nudged and said, "Um.. We better go take a seat."

I instantly blushed and smiled at the same time.

I did know what Ricky wanted to say but I acted like I didn't.

They all carried their stuffs and I helped Gabriel carry his while the girls stared at me awkwardly.

"Let's stay behind Laura," Gabriel said and I smiled.

We walked over to a desk and I dropped his stuffs on the desk behind mine, Ricky sat behind Harper and Max behind Nelly.

"Why did you choose here anyway, you could have gone forward," I said.

"Well, it's easy to tickle you from here"he winked and I held myself from blushing and I succeeded.

I walked back to my desk, sat down and turned back to look at Gabriel who winked at me immediately and I felt my cheeks heating up.

I turned not wanting him to see me blushing.

"Hmm, you'll make a perfect wife for him," Nelly whispered in my ears and I shot her a glare but inside I was smiling.

Soon students started trooping in, occupying each desks, I stared down at my history book and resumed my reading until Nelly interrupted by nudging me.

"What?"

"Look who's here," She said and I looked up to see Tammy, Rachel, the BBB girls, Patricia and Rachel's minions all walking in, probably to my direction.

They shot me glares and walked towards me.

"They are all art students," Harper said.

I think I am going to faint.

My enemies are in the same class with me.

I'm in trouble...
