My Gabe Helmy Love Story

Call Me Maybe

Gracie

I got into my homeroom, and there's a bunch of girls huddled in the corner giggling. Weird... I sit down in my spot in the front and someone comes to sit next to me. I look over and it's that guy from yesterday.

???: Oh, hey, weren't you the person who ran into me yesterday?

M: Yep... That's me...

He reaches his hand out.

???: I don't think I've properly introduced myself. I'm Dylan.

Dylan... Cool...

M: Nice name.

Dylan raises his eyebrows.

D: Geez, you're already blubbering around me and we haven't even got to the good part.

I turn red. Oh... He keeps staring at me. WHY ARE YOU STARING?!

M: Can I help you?

D: Yeah, actually you can. Perhaps you can tell me your name and number?

I roll my eyes.

M: My name, sure. I'm Gracie. My number, well, it depends on why you want it.

He smiles and runs his fingers through his gorgeous hair.

D: Because that's what pretty girls do when they meet a hot guy.

Oh, he's a egotistical- Wait, pretty? I raise an eyebrow at him.

G: I'm not attracted to you.

Liar. But I have Gabe, who's so much hotter. Acknowledging one of God's more appealing creations, as long as you don't act on anything, isn't cheating, right?

D: I can tell you're lying. I may have only known you for 2 minutes, but I'm not an idiot, hot stuff.

M: Don't call me that.

D: Sweet cheeks?

M: Ew.

D: Peachy Pie?

M: My mom calls me that.

D: Snuggems?

M: What the hell?

D: Kitten?

M: No! Why must you give me a pet name! I've only known you for 3 minutes!

D: Fine. And hey, I know I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me, Sexy.

Idiot. He hands me a small piece of paper with his number on it. I roll my eyes.

M: I'm not going to call you. And don't call me that.

D: Yeah you will.

M: Whatever.

I turn in my seat with a huff and put the paper in my bag. I can't have this. I have Gabe. I don't want to be that girl like, one guy tries to talk to me and I just go, "I have a boyfriend" that's just annoying. The bell rings and I go to my locker. I feel a presence behind me.

???: Hey Sexy.

Oh. It's Dylan.

M: What?

D: You wanna go somewhere after school?

M: What do you mean?

D: I mean do you want to go to the mall or something?

M: Friends, maybe. It depends on when. Not friends, sorry, no.

D: What's wrong with not friends?

M: I have a boyfriend.

He didn't look too surprised about that, why is beyond me.

D: Then friends it is, Sexy.

M: That certainly doesn't sound like friends.

D: Just text me where you live and I'll pick you up.

M: Ok, whatever.

He walks away and I turn around to close my locker.

Crap. Now I have to text him.

After a long freaking day at school, I got in the car with Gabe.

G: So how was school?

M: You sound like my mother.

G: Well, it seems as though you haven't been to school in a while, so I thought you might be like, UGH EVERYTHING SUCKS! I know that's how I usually feel.

M: True. Well, it was ok. Just the day went by so slowly.

G: Did everyone ask where you were?

M: Other than my teachers, no one. They don't pay any attention to me.

His face falls a little.

G: I wonder why...

M: Excuse me?!

G: Oh crap! That came out wrong! I was really wondering why. I wasn't being a smart *ss!

I smile.

M: Sure, whatever you say.

When he gets to my house, I give him a kiss on the cheek. And then, of course, the next song is Call Me Maybe. I sit in there with him and we sing the song like tone deaf apes. By the time the song is over we're laughing so hard barely any noise is coming out. After we calm down, Gabe turns to me.

G: Later Gracie.

M: Later Gabe.

I step out of the car and run to my door. I turn around before I open it, and he's smiling at me. I run inside to get ready, and he pulls off.

=====================================
Yeah! I updated! Woohoo! I felt bad about making you wait and then putting up an author's note. So here's this. I literally wrote it in 30 minutes, so it's not very long, but I've been looking into it, and most wattpad chapter really aren't. That surprised me. I thought 1,000 words was short, but apparently it's not. Imagine that. But yeah, this chapter doesn't have much more than 800 words. Also, I'm going to Orlando Florida on Tuesday so I'm not going to be able to update for a couple of days. Again. Sorry! Love you guys! Happy reading!

Vote, comment, enjoy!
