Stalking My Stalker

Chapter One

Chapter One

                I was flipping pictures through my phone and I just can't help myself but to fall in love.

He is just too perfect. He has perfect complexion, jaw line, eyes, hair, height and everything else. Did I mention about his lips? No, I didn't. Well, they look so kissable. Why can't I have a boyfriend like him?

All of a sudden, I felt someone kicking my chair. And because of gravity, I fell off my chair face flat.

I know only one person who would do this. She was my longtime partner in crime, Maddy. I angrily stood up and placed my hands on hips while I faced her. "What was that for?!" I said.

"You were off to dreamland with Gibby Parkson. As a friend, I need to bring you back on Earth" she nonchalantly said.

"His name is Gabriel Jackson!" I, of course, angrily corrected her. How could she forget the name of the love of my life?

"Same thing," she carelessly said.

"Sometimes I just wonder how we become friends," Then I turned away from her with my arms folded.

"C'mon, don't be such a drama queen... I wish you hadn't met him in Starbucks on the last day of summer."

"Oh! I need to thank you for forcing me to go that day even though I was planning on becoming lazy that day." I shouldn't be mad at her, at my best friend! She was destiny's bridge for me to meet my fated one!

"It was my fault that my best friend turned into a fan girl of a monster! I wished I just offered to go to DQ instead!" As always, she exaggerated! Sometimes I could never live without her but most of the time I just want to throw her off the cliff.

"Be nice or else I won't give you a treat!" I warned her.

"I am not a dog!"

"I guess, I could finish two Oreo ice creams all by myself." I taunted her. Knowing her, I knew she would take it.

"Okay fine! I'll be good. That Oreo ice cream needs to be a big one! And please stop yabbering about Lion." Why couldn't she get the name right?! But hearing his "name" brings me back to the time when we first met.

Flashback

Summer, why do you passed by so fast? Could you at least stay a little bit longer? Even though the hot weather that you bring wants me to pull out my hair, please stay. You may left me broke for a couple of weeks because of me having no allowance, don’t go. Summer you are my time of relaxation and laziness, don’t let school time to take that away from me.

                I know that I am being over dramatic but honestly, do you blame me? Even though the upcoming school year will be my last year of high school, I didn’t want it to come. I don’t see eye to eye with my other batch mates regarding this topic; they seem excited to go to school. Sure there are perks like bossing around lower years, parties, and etc. But there is a downer too; there are unexpected test, rushed projects, and bigger responsibility. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you call me a nerd but I consider myself a realist for the future.

"Ma'am Ariel, here is your green tea frappe. Have a good day!" says the quite annoying hyper server in Starbucks. Honestly, I don’t see why she should be happy. Its day the last day of summer.

This gift from heaven will be my comfort, my precious green tea frappe. Now I have a mission, a mission that not a single drop shall be spilt from this amazing drink. C'mon I need to do this! I may be clumsy but I am just a few meters away from Maddy and our seat. I could survive this and in about 10 seconds I will be seating and drinking this drink!

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5… BAM!! SPLAT!!! I came crashing down with my butt receiving all the pain. Ouch! My butt will never feel the same way again!  Oh no! My green tea frappe!! I am not gonna cry!!! I knew I should let have Maddy take my drink! I lost my precious drink and my butt hurts like hell, this is truly the worst day ever.

"I am so sorry Miss!" The guy who pushed me said.

"Sorry? Your sorry won't bring back my frappe and my butt hurts," I sounded and acted like a typical 5 years old. I didn't bother looking up to the guy because of my despair.

"I'm really sorry! Let me buy you a new drink!" Now, who am I to say no to a free frappe?

The guy who pushed and offered me a free drink, lend me his hand. I took his hand and looked up to him. One word could describe him, Adonis. I could imagine myself drool. I could feel myself swimming through space just by looking at his deep and mesmerizing hazel brown eyes. I was easily hypnotized by those eyes of his. His hand was soft and smooth. I couldn't help but think that my hand fit perfectly to his. His touch gives out this electric shock. It wasn't something painful, surprisingly it was pleasant. Oh my!! He's holding hand!

As soon as I stood up, he keeps pestering me if I was ok. “Are you hurt? Do you need some ice? Do you feel cold? Are you ok?" He looks so cute when he pesters me. It is so adorable when he cares. He cares! Hihihihi.

"I'm ok as long as I get my free frappe." I replied with a big smile on my face. What on Earth did I just say?? My mouth just keeps blubbering things without thinking. He probably thinks I'm a freak.

To my surprise, he chuckled at my response. "I thought I had to carry you to the hospital or something." He shyly said. Dang it, I should have said that my butt hurts! He could carry me bridal style. He could be my prince charming and I would be his Cinderella.

He did something unexpected once again! He took out his handkerchief and wipe out something from cheeks. I could see myself blush as red as tomato. This is embarrassing but I feel all giddy inside. He was perfect. "You got some frappe over there. But now it’s gone because I wipe it away." He talks a lot, how cute! "And maybe I should stop talking and buy that green tea frappe."

He started walking towards the counter and I caught up with him. I know I sound like a flirt but I am not. That was my drink so I have every right to stand here beside him. "How did you know what I wanted?" I asked.

"It’s the only thing in the menu that is creamy, cold and green at the same time." He plainly stated.

"Oh right," Standing beside him makes me feel dumb. It was like my common sense has gone away.

"I'm really sorry with what happen earlier. My name is Gabriel Jackson by the way."

"I would really like to say it was nice to meet you but I'm covered with this sticky stuff." I sheepishly said.

"Let’s pretend this hasn't happened for a moment. Hi, my name is Gabriel Jackson." He introduced himself. He then pulls out his hand.

"I still get that frappe right?" It was better than safe than sorry. He then nodded his head as a sign of confirmation. I took his hand for a shake. "It was nice to meet you Gabriel. My name is Ariel Montes."

"Like the mermaid?"

"Are you done with Lala land yet? I really need that ice cream." Maddy impatiently said.

"Yeah, yeah, just let me go get my purse and the jacket."

"You're still bringing that jacket?" You might be wondering why Maddy is emphasizing the jacket. Well, that jacket was given by Gabriel. He gave it to me so I wouldn't get cold and to cover up the frappe stains. He was such a gentlemen.

"You couldn't bring that thing everywhere!"

"Yes, I could. I might see him again and I could return this to him."

"You might as well search for his twitter and facebook account so you would know where he is right now so you could give the damn jacket." Maddy sarcastically said in her frustration

"You know what, we should be doing that!" Maddy gives the best idea when she is frustrated.

"What do you mean by we? Aren't we, we as in you, going to buy ice cream?" Maddy exasperated.

"Ice cream can wait but Mr Gabriel Jackson can't," I said with finality.
