So enjoy chapter 2!

*Gabriella's POV*

Okay. So, this was it. I double check to make sure Hayes's phone is in my pocket before ringing the bell.

An older version of Hayes opens up the door.

OH MY GAWD IT'S NASH! (That vine though am I right ladies;) )

I WAS NOT EXPECTING NASH TO BE HOME!

"Um, hello, may I help you?" Nash asks, looking me up and down.

IS NASH CHECKING ME OUT?

"Nash, stop checking out my guest," Hayes laughs, coming into view.

"Oh, um, sorry, um..." Nash stutters.

OH MY GOD HE WAS!

"Hey Gaby, come with me," Hayes smiles.

Oh his smile. It's perfection.

"Um, here's your phone," I say sheepishly once safely sitting down in Hayes's room.

"What happened to that crazy girl I met at the fair?" he asked, making me blush.

"She, um, entered the Grier household and is currently sitting on Hayes Grier's bed?"

He chuckles.

"Well, thanks for my phone."

"No problemo, amigo. That's right, I take Spanish!"

"You take Spanish?" he asks, kind of shocked.

"No, I lied. I actually take French. Darn," I say, snapping my fingers.

Hayes starts fully laughing.

"Am I missing out on something here?" Nash asks, poking his head in. "May I join you?"

"No, go away," Hayes says sternly.

"No, it's okay. I'm Gabriella, by the way."

"Hi beautiful. I'm Nash," he smiles, kissing me on the cheek.

OH MY GOD THE NASH FRICKIN GRIER JUST CALLED ME BEAUTIFUL AND THEN KISSED ME ON THE FRICKIN CHEEK I THINK I'M DYING!

"Is that a challenge?" Hayes asks, narrowing his eyes at Nash.

"Hehe, maybe you SHOULD leave Nash. Nice to meet you though!"

"Fine," Nash pouts, then kisses me on the cheek again. "Nice to meet you too, beautiful."

"BYE!" I yell after him as he leaves. I turn to Hayes. "What the hell was that for?"

"Um, well, you see, Nash, he-"

"Okay, I get it. You're a good boy. Now, what were we talking about?"

"French, I think?" he answers, causing us to both to fall back laughing.

*Hayes's POV*

"Hey Hayes, can you come in here for a second?"

"Sure Mom. What do ya need?"

"Um, who was that girl that was just over?" my mom asks.

"Oh, that was Gabriella. I met her at the fair yesterday."

"She seemed special to you, Hayes. I can tell. You get this look in your eyes..."

Oh, Gabriella. She was truly beautiful, Nash wasn't lying about that. Even her name was beautiful. Her long brown hair and those eyes, oh those piercing brown eyes. I never knew eyes could be so piercing. And that smile...

My mom interrupted my thoughts. "See, that look. She is special, isn't she?"

"Yeah, really special," I smile.

*Gabriella's POV*

I walked down the hallway alone. Frankie was out sick and Hayley was in Massachusetts for the weekend. As I neared the Science classroom Chase ran up behind me.

"How's it doing, Moreno?" he asked, slapping me on the shoulder.

"I'm good, thanks for asking. And you?"

"Very well, actually. In fact, while you were at your quote unquote 'friend's house' yesterday, I did some research for our history project. How was your 'friend's house' yesterday? Who is your 'friend'?"

"None of your business, Parks." I spit his name out just like he spit out "friend".

"Fine! Don't tell me! I guess I won't tell you what crazy stuff I found out yesterday! Happy Friday, by the way."

"Yeah, thank God it's Friday, won't have to see you for two whole days," I sigh.

"That's not right!" Chase sang. Oh shit. I forgot. We're working on our project on Sunday. Good thing Hayes and I were hanging out on Saturday, because that would have been a mess to explain to him. I'd be ditching him to go hang out with another boy. Eesh. Can't give him the wrong impression.

"Ugh don't remind me!" I groan, walking into the classroom. Luckily, Chase wasn't in this class. I sat down and waited for the bell to ring. Soon school would be out, and I could finally talk to Hayes.

"So, Gaby, what do you wanna do?" Hayes asked me as I sat down on his bed.

"I'm kind of tired. Can we watch a movie?"

"Yeah sure. I'm tired too. I was kind of hoping you'd say that."

"What movie?"

"Um..."

"SECRETARIAT!" Skylynn yelled, running into Hayes's room.

"Skylynn, this is Hayes and Gabriella time." Hayes smiled apologetically at her.

"Ugh fine you suck!" Skylynn said snapping her fingers and running out of her room.

"Wow. The sass is real," I laugh.

"Oh you know it," Hayes smiled. I loved his smile. It was so perfect. Suddenly, I saw him leaning in. I leaned in too. All of the sudden, BAM.

"I'm home!" Nash shrieks, slamming the front door before me and Hayes's lips hit. Damn, Nash always seems to ruin the moment.

"So, what movie do you wanna watch?" Hayes asks, blushing.

"Um..." And we were back where we started.

***

Cliff hangers baby! (Yeah, I know that cliff hanger sucked, but I'm gonna count it. So deal with it.)

What movie do you think they watched? WHICH ONE?

Actually, you tell me because I have no idea. COMMENT WHICH MOVIE YOU WANT THEM TO WATCH! Because I'm too lazy to think of one.

And what about that almost kiss like ZAYUM BAE!

But they didn't kiss. As Cameron Dallas says, "ZAYUM, it's a hard world out there!" Bet Gabriella's thinking that.

Don't forget to vote and comment!

But I hope you like the book and thanks to all who are reading I love you!
