Just Friends

Chapter 10 {No Reason}

I woke up with a sudden urge to find my phone
Oh yeah...
I looked everywhere for my phone but it was nowhere to be found.
I lifted the covers and finally spotted my DIY ombrè phone case.
I grabbed my phone and immediately checked my messages.
No New Messages
I felt my heart drop a little but didn't make a big deal about since he was the one to text me in the first place.

I took a quick shower and put on a white long sleeved shirt with lace for the sleeves and back. I wore mint green jeans and white vans to go with it.
After straightening my hair I put on my white beanie that said 'epic' on the top and a mint green chevron print infinity scarf
I grabbed a bag of strawberries for me and a bag of grapes for Roxanne.
I headed to her door and rang the door bell.
She answered the door in a cute floral dress with my black flats with cute little flowers on the sides that I let her borrow two months ago.
"Whoa" I gawked
"Cute right?" She beamed
"What's this for?" I questioned, handing her the bag of green grapes.
"Ooo grapes! Thanks girl," she stalled, stuffing two grapes in her mouth.
She about to eat another one but I grabbed her wrist
"Hey!" Roxy wined
"What's up with the dress today?" I questioned again.
"Its...nothing...can I just wear a dress without getting interrogated?" She said as she pulled her arm away, throwing the grape in her mouth.
"You can't even say that, when I wore that skirt a couple weeks ago you did the same thing!" I countered
"I didn't stop you from eating your favorite fruit" she said
"Roxy!" I screamed
"Stop it Gabriella!" She yelled at me.
"Okay geez..." I put my hands up and started walking backwards slowly.
"Sorry just you keep...it's just none of your business okay?"she said calming down.
"Well..." I said putting my hand on my heart like I was offended
I kind of was offended though
I mean we're supposed to be best friends and tell each other everything like I do to her. I was about to tell her about the texts but I thought it'd be best to keep it to myself for now.
We walked the rest of the way in silence as I plugged in my ear buds and she started constantly texting someone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My first three classes felt like they were never going to end. But finally it was time for forth period.
With Nathan
I did the usual: walk in, talk to Violet, mess around with the class clowns (I put the 's' on purpose) and then Nathan walks in right before the bell.
I sat down at my desk near the stack of tonights homework. While the teacher started to grade last nights homework someone placed their hand on my shoulder
Startled I turned around silently hoping it was who I thought it was.
"Hey so can I have a snack today?" Nathan said with a smile that could practically make me melt
Yes!
"Fine..." I said with I tiny bit of annoyence that I didn't mean to add
I reached into my back and dug through my folders and binders.
"So I texted you last night," he said watching me.
"I saw," I replied
"Buy you never texted me back," I said and accidentally making my voice shake.
"Because I went to sleep!" He said while taking the mini muffin I handed him.
"Oh," I responded
"So...that text was like for no reason?" I asked, voice still shaking
"Was there supposed to be a reason?" He raised his eyebrow.
"No its just you usually never text me and I was surprised you texted me first"
"Why? it was just a text," he replided with a hint well, mabye more than a hint of annoyance.
"Okay I know that but you don't normally answer my texts and...you know what never mind neevveer miindd," I turned around and stuffed a muffin in my mouth.
"Okay?" He turned around and walked back to his desk.
I dropped my head in my arms and stared and the darkness inside.
I am soo stupid! Why the heck did I do that?!?! Now hes probably never going to text me!
I didn't pay any attention for the rest of class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I got home I flopped on my bed face down.
When I finally felt like I couldn't breathe I turned around and layed on my back.
After like 20 minutes I started to get hungry.
I went downstairs and filled a bag with dry Fruit Loops
After I finished like half the bag I had to go pick my brother up from school.
I plugged in my ear buds and turned on an old favorite called 'My Dilemma' by Selena Gomez.
I am not kidding when I say that that song describes every. aspect. of. my. love. life.
He's my dilemma
One half of me wants ya
And the other half wants to forget
My my my dilemma
From the moment I met ya
I just can't get you outta my head
And I tell myself to run from you but I find myself attracted
To my dilemma
My dilemma
Its you
UUUUUGGGGHHHH
I told you...
I eventually arrived at the school and stood at the front next to the stop sign.
After awhile I began to see the kids coming.
While I was waiting, someone was riding a bike, coming towards me, but I didn't pay attention. Probably just some kid.
The kids stopped for some cars to pass and the kid on the bike skid to a stop in front of me.
"Surprise!" He said turning around and getting off the bike.
It was Dominic
"Uhh, hi," I said suspiciously.

"You dont sound to happy to see me.." he said raising an eyebrow

"No! I am glad your here its just, you hardly ever come" I answered

"Well im here now" he stood next to me
I smiled.
He yanked out my right ear bud and stuck it in his ear.
"What song is this?" He practicly screamed.
"Stop screaming!" I calmly said.
"What?" He screamed even louder
I took full advantage of this opportunity
I leaned in close and whispered,"You don't need to yell," and smiled
"Oh," he started blushing and turned around to see everyone staring at us.
"Sorry," he whispered.
"Its okay, and the song is 'I'm Blue' KNY remix to be specific" I added
"So your into that dubstep stuff huh?" He asked
"Trap music but yeah that too," I replied
"Cool," he said
By now our brothers were coming our way.
"I guess I have to go" he said
"Okay bye!" I waved
"Bye Gabby" he gave me a high five.
He walked off forgetting my ear bud.
"Oops! Here!" He tossed the bud to me.
"Thanks"
I walked away back to my house extremely happy.
Smiling all the way there.
