Veya walks back to Gab, Carrying their drinks. As she sat down she couldn't help to ask what mita told Gab. 

"What did Mita tell you?" She asked jokingly. 

"well she told me you love French Vanilla," Gab replied. 

" hmm, Yeah it was my aunt's favorite, she would always let me sip a bit because she loved it so much she wouldn't let me share it," she replied, but looks at Gab, him wanting to hear more, but Veya seems uncomfortable to tell more stories about her. 

"it's okay, you don't have to force yourself to tell me about her, let's talk about you," Gab said 

"ah no, I don't really like talking about myself, I am more of a listener," She insisted. 

"well, I insist," Gab said. 

"Okay fine let's play two truths and a lie," Veya suggested. 

"Alright, I am down," Gab replied 

"so, me first... 1. I have a Black Labrador named Sirius. 2. I sing very well. 3. I love coffee, but I don't drink that too much, two truth's and a lie," Veya started the game 

"hmmmmmm I will say 3 is a lie!" Gab said. 

"no! hahaha, 1 is the lie, the Black labrador is my favorite dog and I want to name it Sirius," Veya explained. 

"Okay, me...1. I sneaked a Hershey's bar in a mini store when I was eight. 2. I love Hardcore rock. 3. I have never been in a serious relationship," Gab said staring into Veya's eyes. 

"hmm making it hard, I say 1 there's no way you did that," Veya said. 

"Wrong! number 2 was the lie," Gab said 

"wait what you stole a Hershey's bar from a Mini store??!?!? Gab I should turn you over," Veya said jokingly. 

" Im so sorry, Im a kid, I mean you would have done it too?" Gab said 

"yea I did once a balloon from the national bookstore, wanted one, so I got one and blew it up at home," Veya said nervously. 

"but I buy books and materials from them and I think that is way okay now," Veya added. 

"HAHAHA, not so innocent after all," Gab said jokingly. 

"so you've never been in a serious relationship?" she asked sips on her iced coffee. 

"well What can I do, I don't really date, ever since sports gave me such a huge opportunity to be in competitions, I never had the time and if I had I might not pay attention to the girl I'm with," He answered. 

"you are paying attention to me?" she added

"well, you're different, you're someone I am comfortable talking to and hanging out with, it feels like I can say anything to you," Gab answered shyly 

"well that's nice, you can talk to me anytime," She said. 

"so what about you? sorry to mention but who's this Jake?" Gab asked. 

"that would be my ex, did mita tell you?" she asked. 

"ah yeah, but figured out it was Jake due to the blabbering mouth of Ms. Cyhel," he said. 

"ah yeah, she rooted for me and him, told me to do my best to help him you know put him to the right paths, make him better, but no matter how much I tried, it would just go sideways and eventually went downhill," she said. 

"What happened?" he asked. 

"Well long story short, let's just say It was toxic, he says I wasn't there for him the night he needed me the most. while I was in the hospital from school because my aunt got in a car accident on the way home, we waited there my dad picked me up from school and early in the morning she passed away, I went to school still, and he dropped the bomb on me like that, tried to fight for it for weeks a month but then my conscience came back and said he wasn't worth it, I keep hurting myself," Veya explained 

"well how long did you guys dated?" he added. 

"4 months, the first month on and off but just happened once," veya answered. 

"started spreading rumors I cheated on him, but clearly not... this girl liked him and said I cheated on him just because she saw me talking to a friend of mine in church, church friends were so mad at him every time he was around the boys just go protective," She added. 

"well he's just-" Gab gets cut off Veya. 

"hey, no its fine hahaha, " Veya cutting off Gab 

" well as I see it you won't do anything to hurt people you love and loved," Gab said

"well that depends on who knows me," Veya answered.
