Chapter Six: Gabi

I walked into Math class nervously looking around for Sally and Phillip.

I was trying not to act nervous but I couldn't help it. I've never been bullied before, and I wanted to keep it that way.

"Stop worrying Gabi, we're here for you." Doctor said beside me, putting a reassuring hand on my shoulder causing me to become a little less tense.

"I-I know..." That's when I realized, I couldn't find Summer. "...Hey where's Summer?" I asked, looking at Sherlock for answers, though I couldn't stop thinking about Sally and Phillip.

"Moriarty's office..." he trailed off. That's when everyone in our group went totally silent. "Why?" Rose asked, biting her lip.

Sherlock, sighed uneasily. "He found out about her self-harming." Sherlock said, sitting down in his desk, not making eye contact with anyone.

I looked at Sherlock nervously, but tried to reassure myself as I sat down in my seat, and Doctor sat next to me.

"Stop thinking about Sally and Phillip." The voice in my head was here... great.

"Shut up, what do you think I've been trying to do."

I said back in my head sternly. The stupid voice in my head wasn't helping, it was only making me worry more.

"Worry about Summer instead, forget those bullies."

Oh what great "reassurance" my mind has.

"You know, if you stopped mentioning it maybe I'd actually be able to stop thinking about them!"

I yelled inside my head.

The voice shut-up after that, and I was glad it did.

I still did worry about Summer though, class was about to start and she wasn't here yet.

"I'm getting worried." I whispered to Doctor, trying not to sound or look nervous.

I failed.

The Doctor looked at me worriedly. "Gabi, are you alright? Your shaking." he said, pointing at my clearly shaking arms.

"I'm fine, just really nervous." I replied, trying to get a smile on my face, cause honestly I needed to get rid of this stupid nervousness.

I decided to read a book before the teacher came, to try and calm down. It actually sort of helped.

Professor Wayne finally came and started the lesson- how to find the side of a triangle. Oh, joy.

Math was never really my strong suit, but I found it nearly impossible to concentrate today, with my mind flipping between worrying about Sally and Philip, to worrying about Summer, to wondering if the Doctor thought my hair looked alright- wait, how did that last one become a priority?

'Because, you gotta admit, the Doctor is really cute.'

'Yeah, he is. Wait, what am I saying?'

'That the Doctor is cute, duh.'

'Shut up. I just met him today.'

With that I attempted to focus on the lesson. Yeah, I already know how to find the side of a triangle, but whatever.

At one point of the class hour, I decided to continue reading my book, instead of listening to the teacher go on-and on-and on about triangles.

He honestly acted as if there was nothing better in the world than triangles.

I pulled out a book entitled: Sisters.

It was a funny and of coarse teen friendly, but luckily not funny enough to make me burst out laughing.

I was in the middle of the book when the math class door opened and in stepped Summer. Her face was emotionless as she walked over to Professor Wayne and handed him a late pass, then sat in the only other empty seat in class, next to me.

"How did it go?" I asked, referring to her appointment with Professor Moriarty. I'm no Sherlock, but she was bothered about something.

"Fine." she said. "He was just a little disturbing."

I didn't believe that for a second. Yeah, I've barely even known Summer, but I've picked up enough to know if she was lying. I think.

"Tell me the truth." I whispered.

"I'll tell you at lunch." she whispered back, then completely ignored me the rest of the lesson.

I shrugged, then went back to my book. I now looked forward to whatever she would say at lunch, whether it was real or not.
