A broken past, shattered heart, crushed soul, gets a new trial at life when her parents enrolled her into a boarding school for senior year Meet GABRIELLA JEFERSON. Will this red head make the most of her time there or will she let her past ruin her...
''Alright lead the way'' Briella answered. We walked into the cinema and were looking for the right place to have our seats when we saw a middle-aged woman walk right up to us and smile. she said ''Don't you both make a cute couple''. I could see the bewilderment on Briella's face while I just chuckled and said' 'yes, we do''........ I know I know I deserve a knock on the head but i still wasn't going to take it back. ''you look so cute together, how about I offer you some 3D glasses, my son owns this place so it's on the house'' the lady said all smiles. '' Thanks so much ma'am, but we didn't come alone, we came with our friends so ----- ' oh that's no big deal, I can give you more' she finished and beckoned on one of the attendants. While she wasn't looking Briella glared at me with a look that could sent me six feet under in just a matter of seconds. I just itched the back of my neck nervously knowing fully well I wouldn't hear the end of it.
***************************
We collected the glasses and quickly chose the seats. 'what do you want?" Briella asked after we were done, she wasn't looking at me but I could feel the heat. "Just wanna be friends, I mean you are going to be my tutor aren't you? Why not be friends now?" I blurted out. That sounds way too lame. "I know what people like you do, I know your kind. Just stay away from me. I'm just your tutor and I have no interest in being your friend get it straight..... she was about to continue when the rest came to join us. "Woah, what's with all the bad energy" Rose asked. It's like everyone could feel the tension. "Nothing's wrong, but we got free 3D Googles" I said cheerfully trying to brighten up the mood. "Sweet it's going to be epic!!"Olly shouted with joy ****************** Soon enough the movie began after the whole edits and trailers they show at the beginning. A little chit chat amongst us while we laughed heartily to the comic relief of the movie. I was enjoying the company of everyone. I wasn't still fazed about being completely pushed away by Briella the thought of her quickly made me look her way. She was actually laughing! Okay this girl is more than pretty when she laughs. I guess she noticed I was staring and stopped. i quickly detached my gaze from her so as not to make her feel uncomfortable. It was obvious she didn't like the fact I was beside her: The 3D glasses made the whole movie look so real. I was elated when it got to the action pet because that's my favorite part of any movie but then my phone rang and I put of my glasses to look at the caller ID. Then I noticed something. Briella was shivering and sweating at the same time and I couldn't pin point why.. it was getting out of hand and so intense that she stood up and hurried out. The rest of the guys were so occupied with the movie they didn't notice I quickly got up from my seat and hurried to catch up with her outside, I was looking for where she might have gone but then I looked a little bit further and I spotted her BINGO! I saw her seated on the floor with her knees to her chest, it was like she was having a panic attack. Max used to have one of these quite a number of times when we were children so I was skilled on how to handle the situation. "Hey Briella , I'm here calm down" She was trying to say something but they were tv very inaudible "Hey, it's fine you're okay you're okay nothing is wrong. Take deep breaths" I took her hand and tried to calm her down. I looked at her eyes and they were still watery when she leaned into my chest and cried even more. We were there for a while until her sobs reduced to the barest minimum "Are you okay now?" **************
"Can you please not tell anyone what happened?" Briella spoke as she stood up to compose herself. " it's fine to have panic attacks Brie" I tried reassuring her. "Just please!but what are we going to tell the rest cause the movie should be over by now" she said looking worried "Oiii Asher! What you lot doing over there" Oliver shouted from a distance as we saw the gang "Just follow my lead" I assured her as we walked towards them "Brie, what's wrong" Roseline asked "She left to throw up in the bathroom and I saw her when she came out cause I went to pick a call,She was drowsy so I offered to take her out to get some fresh air. Turns out she needs some medication" I lied with so much composure it sounded like the truth. I wasn't going to tell anyone until SHE wanted to herself. "Oh B you didn't tell me you weren't feeling well, I'll take you right to the nurses office right when we get back— "No it's nothing, I have meds in the room I'll use it when we get back"Briella quickly answered. "Sorry but you lot missed the most interesting part of the movie. Vin diesel— "Can it Oliver let's get going the curfew is in 45 minutes." Grey announced so we headed to the car and drove off in record time. *** I landed on my bed and kicked off my shoes immediately I got to the room. I couldn't get what happened this night off my mind. I never knew she was one to have panic attack. I didn't want to pry I was just happy the way she allowed me help her. Grey went to the bathroom and Oliver was on his headphones while playing with the Xbox when myphone chimed that I had received a new message.

Unknown Hey...I can't believe I'm saying this but thanks for tonight. I really appreciate it
I couldn't shake off the feeling of happiness that Briella just texted me! I started panicking like how do I respond and shit!! Then I came with the first thing on my mind
Me You're welcome Get some rest and probably we'll meet tomorrow for my tutoring?😅 I saw her typing and I really hope it wouldn't be a sarcastic answer when she finally said Unknown Alright.... Maybe after home room I can prep you up during the free period before history. With that all I was left with were was her last seen a minute ago and a huge grin on my face. "Someone is in a happy mood this night" I heard grey speak as he dried his hair with a towel. I couldn't do anything but smile before I replied "Hope you had a fun birthday by the way" " I did thanks for the outing it was the second perfect gift." " what's the first? He didn't respond " Roseline got you a gift didn't she?" I asked before I smiled sheepishly at him "Good night Asher we have school tomorrow" He said avoiding the question before he crashed on his bed. "Yeah school."was the last thing I said before I cross myself and said a short prayer. After that it all went black for me.
