THE TWO OF US

Part Four

Gabriella's POV
I woke up to a bright Monday morning, a small smile crept on my face. It's Monday, I have never been thankful for Monday has I was right now, anything to get away from this hellhole. I got up, dragging my feet to the washroom.
My mind went to mom again, She left, without even checking up on me , she didn't even think If what she said hurts me, she just fucking left. What a sweet mother.!

After brushing and taking a cool shower, I applied my skin care product. If there's anything I spend money on it my skin, I'm so obsessed with my skin that even if a little pimple pop out in an not too obvious place on my face I would start panicking , I would go online to google search what I can buy to take it off. I don't joke with my skin.
I quickly pulled out a baggy jean and a turtleneck sleeveless top, I applied my makeup which consist of my eye liner, lip gloss and face powder , actually my lip gloss goes with me everywhere , I personally always like my lips shiny and wet. I made my way out not before dragging a jacket and packing my hair in a bun.

"Good morning giana , I would not be taking breakfast" I said not really in the mood to eat anything. Lost appetite since Saturday.

"Why? Gabriella you should take something so you wouldn't get sick" giana said looking at me with care, I just wish my mom or Dad cared for me this way. To avoid more talks from her I quickly drank the cup of tea placed on the dining table before heading out but not after seeing a worried look on giana's  face. Giana is in her early forties and a very beautiful woman, I only just use to wonder if she doesn't have a family, she never mentions them. Or has she also neglected her family cause of "work?"

Getting to school, I waved Derrick goodbye , and inhaled the fresh breezc of my college, it seems like the breeze home and over here is different, passing through student chit chatting, some gossiping as usual and some visibly flithy, since I didn't see any familiar face I decided turning to go to the library before rose voice stopped me.

"Gabby" she squealed happily throwing her hands around my neck "how are you my pretty friend" she said making me chuckle slightly

"Very well.. I'm sorry I could not attend the party last night" I said with an apologetic look

She only waved it off saying "thank God you didn't come" I scrunched my face up in confusion "why?" I asked.

"The new guy threw the party at his home, but he ended up scattering his party himself" she said huffing  out and her hands unconsciously twirling my hair.

"What new guy?" I asked more confused
"Gracious goodness, gabby are you in this college at all?" She said looking at me with wide curious eyes, her hands already stop twirling my hair. She leaned into me whispering in my ears "the minister of education's son" she leaned back to her former position "oh" I said in realisation, I remembered Sophie said  something like that the other day

"He is so hot though, even if he looks like trouble" she said her eyes wandering away somewhere else. I would rather we don't meet then. I hate troubles.
I checked my time and saw it time for my class, I waved goodbye to rose and we spoke on where we were going to meet after lectures , and I can't wait. I guess I am very thrilled on having someone to walk around with in college.

*****
"End of today's lecture , the next time we are meeting we are having a test!" The long thin lecturer roared causing murmurs and whispers in the class.
"Quiet, or you want to have the test now?" He asked tauntingly making everyone keep there mouth shut, he shone  his teeth in pride and casually walked up like he has not threatened to give us a test when we had barely rounded off a topic in the scheme of work. I exhale heavily grabbing my stuffs , I walked out off the class.

I got to where rose asked us to meet and she wasn't there yet, guess her class was taking more time, I sat under the same tree I saw her crying the other day and chuckled as the event played again in my head , I was still in my world when I saw a shadow in front of me , I gradually looked up and upon seeing his face I tensed. He is more beautiful up front honestly. Yeah it the same guy from the corridor who scoffed at me. I examined his face , his light green eyes were staring at mine intently , his chiselled jaw ticking gently, his two ears are pierced and I can spot a small tattoo on his collarbones to his shoulders. I stop checking him out and decided to speak.

"Hey" I said still looking up at me , expecting an answer and when I don't get one I rolled my eyes "curtesy demands you reply to greetings" I added and now his arms are  crossed on his chest still giving me a look I don't understand.

"What if I don't want to reply to your greetings" he said, his voice was thick and enough to shake anyone up. His face was laced with irritation.What the actual fuck?

"Why wouldn't you? Between you are the one in my space" I said using my head to gesture where he stood and where I was. Instead he came closer making me get up.

"Do you think anyone has a say in where ever I want to stay?" He said, and now I knew he was just trying to cause trouble and I wasn't going to give in to that . I wanted to give him a polite reply before rose voice came in, running towards me she stopped panting heavily "Gabby!!  I'm so sorry , that lecturer was painfully ranting on and on about what ......" she stopped dead in her track when her eyes met the strange guys own.

"Rapheal?" She called his name more like asked. She waved her hand at him awarkwadly  which he clearly ignored turning back to look at me. As if he was taking in my features he nod his head and walked away.

"What the actual fuck is going on here?" Rose yelled dramatically with her eyes bulging out of its socket. Rose can be really dramatic. If nothing she should be given the award for the most dramatic person I have ever met.

"That guy is weird and trouble" I said still staring at his retreating back with my squinting eyes.

"That guy? That was the ministers son damn it" rose yelled again making me turn my attention to her.

"What?" I said surprised
"Yes he was the one I was telling you about, who scattered his own party himself, for a reason known to only him" rose said twirling her fingers on my hair. She tends to do that a lot especially when she is lost in thought.

And with everything I heard and saw I only had one thing In mind to do. Avoid him like a plague.
