(Gabby P.O.V)
My grades are still good and pride worthy but apparently a B is not enough. These days my parents have been more strict than they used to be.
Everthing they see change negatively, they start questioning me about why I'm not doing my best or why I'm slacking off. I'm not even in highschool, yet they are so focused on what affect my grade will have on my future. I get it, either way it doesn't mean that they should obsess over it. Their paranoia has spread to me and now I panic at any sign of a decrease or a chance of getting a B. If it weren't for Sugar, I wouldn't be here right now. My parents just don't give up, thankfully she believes in me.
I know that what I have been doing doesn't help anything or make it better. I have found out how to cope with my stress but it is in the wrong way. I know what idea comes to mind and I guess it is correct. It is better to feel pain physically than mentally. Only because it eases the quickest. It will be over once I graduate.
At school during lunch.
Kane - Okay so... I heard in health class that they were offering counseling to those who feel bad about themselves or where they are at.
Gabby - Yeah, I learned about that last year too. I didn't do it though since I don't need it.
Kane smiles - Yeah, plus; you have me as your counselor.
Gabby - We've got each other to makes us happy haha.
Kane hesitates for a second but then says - You helped me a while back and I want to help you so right now I want you to be completely honest with me about how you are feeling.
Gabby - There isn't much to say. My parents are starting to pressure me a lot more. There is nothing that I can't handle though.
Kane - Gabby, I want to help you if you feel like you need a hug.
Gabby thought for a while. I miss her hugs but wouldn't it be too awkward since we have grown up? Maybe hugging will cheer her up too.
Gabby hugs Kane first making it hard for Kane to process what she had done. Her chin rested comfortably on the top of Kane's head.
Kane - heh I thought it was you who needed it but, I guess I did too. I missed this you know.
Kane backs away from the hug and smiles at Gabby. They could feel their cheeks getting red and warm.
The flame that they have initiated will not be shut down.
