Gabriella Paige Maloley.

"Stop it, Sam!" I giggled, pushing his hand off of my thigh as I drove my black-on-black Range Rover towards Sam's house after school. He laughed in response and rubbed my knee once with his large hand before removing it. I smiled in satisfaction and continued driving down the road. Soon, I grew aware of eyes piercing into the side of my head.

"What, Sam?" I laughed, turning to face him.

"Just staring at the most beautiful girl in the world," He replied with a cheesy smile.

"Shut up!" I rolled my eyes and slapped his hand.

I made a right onto the street where Sam lives and pulled up along his curb before shifting the car's gear to park. I turned and looked at the beautiful brown-eyed boy.

"I'll see you later, baby girl," Sam says as he pulled me in for a longer kiss than usual. He then pulled away with a big smile on his face.

"Someone's in a good mood," I teased, questioning Sam's never-ending smiley face today.

"Well," Sam smirked, "Why wouldn't I be in a good mood? I get to see my girl looking fine as hell tonight."

"Shut up," I said as I kissed him once more on the lips. "I'll see you later, baby."

He opens the door and climbs out of the car. I waited until he got into his house before I pulled away, driving to my neighborhood.

Of course having the parents I do, I live in the biggest house in the richest part of town. It's actually kind of embarrassing how my parents constantly brag about our wealth. I pull into the brick driveway and I can already tell I'm going to be alone once I walk in. My parents are rarely home because of work, and are never home at the same time.

But out of hope, I call out anyway.

"Hello?"

"Hola, mija!" I heard a shout from the kitchen.

"Camila!" I yell as I run into the kitchen and gave the 55-year-old woman a warm embrace.

Camila was my nanny who basically raised me and Nate. She cooks for me, cleans for me, she used to drive me everywhere I needed to go; she's been our mom when our real mother didn't want to be. She has been away on a family emergency for a few weeks, so I've been living in this big house all alone. I'm so glad she's back, because every time she's gone, I miss her more and more.

"I've missed you," I whisper as I hugged her tighter.

"They haven't been home, have they?" She asked sadly. I looked down briefly as tears threatened to fall, but then picked my head up with a quick smile.

"Forget about them, you're here! I wish I knew you'd be back today, I would've planned to spend today with you," I sighed, "But I already made plans with Nate, Sam, Lucy and the Jacks."

"It's fine baby! You can tell them they're all welcome to stay here tonight, too. I'll make you all a big breakfast in the morning," Camila said with a big smile.

"Thank you Mila, I have to go get ready now. I love you so much," I said as I pulled her in for one more hug.

"Love you too mija, now go get ready!" Camila laughed.

I run up the stairs and turn right towards the end of the hall to my junior suite. Before I entered my room, I looked across at Nate's door and frowned. It hasn't been opened for a long time. I turned away from his room and I turned the knob on the white door and that led to my oasis.
