Letting Go

Chapter 7

- Chaz -

I woke up because of a sudden loud crash. I sat up and I saw more broken pieces of glass and another shattered part of the window. Again, the small silver clock was settled on the floor ringing and buzzing. "Ahh!! Stupid clock! Stupid mornings! Stupid, stupid, stupid!" I heard her scream.

I kicked the broken pieces of glass to the side of my room. I'll clean it later... Too lazy? Yes, yes I am. Besides, I wanted to see what's going. I rested my arms on the window sill. Gabriella looks a bit grumpy. " Well someone's not a morning person," I teased.  " Do you really enjoy ruining my morning?" Gabriella grunted and her voice cracked.  " Do you really enjoy breaking my window?" I raised my eyebrows and laughed at her when she finally realized what she did. Gabriella placed her hand on top of her forehead.

She looks cute when she's angry. "Oh really? Well, keep talking to me 'cause I'm about to be fucking adorable." She said in a clearly pissed off manner. I didn't mean to say my thoughts out loud.  " Your hair looks like a birds nest." I pointed out and chuckled. She rolled her eyes and smoothed down her hair. " Well yours look like that as well, you know!" That's the best comeback she thought of? " But you gotta admit, I look sexy," I joked. I ruffled my hair as I dramatically looked at the sun. She faked a laugh while I was dying of laughter over here. Gabriella closed her curtains and walked away.

I went down stairs expecting to see a well prepared delicious breakfast. None of us knew how to cook so achieving a great meal would be impossible, I bet. My aunt was a great cook, if only she was here to make us a meal. Which reminds me! She's arriving later.. I think. " So what's for breakfast?" I asked with fake enthusiasm.

" Burned ham, half cooked hotdogs and fried eggs mixed with their shells..." Uncle replied in a rather disappointed tone. Well, I was expecting something far more worst than that. " Yum. My favorite." I said sarcastically. Brad was half asleep on his chair. I pushed him to wake him up but he fell of the chair. A loud blast of laughter came out of our mouths.

" Ermm... So... Do we have cereals?" I asked. Hopefully, we have some! Or else we'll be forced to eat all this or skip breakfast. " We got two boxes of corn flakes but we haven't got any milk." Brad said in a sleepy tone. " I'll take it," I said without hesitating. It's obviously better than eating burne ham.

After breakfast, I took a bath, brushed my teeth and dressed up.

Time for summer school!

- Gab -

I skipped breakfast again. I don't actually know why I don't like eating that much. Well, I just don't like eating with my parents. Based on past experiences, my dad and I end up arguing and my mom tries to remain calm-- so now, I try to avoid all that drama. " I'm out!" I announced.

I rode in my car and started the engines. It won't start! Why do I have to get the crappy car?! And Chaz gets the hot new ride?! Ugh. That's just so unfair. I tried several times again but it still didn't start. I got pissed off so I honked the horn numerous times until my dad came out of the house. He was still wearing his robe and he had a worried look.

" What happened?!" Dad asked and took a sip of his coffee. " This crappy car won't start!" I complained and rolled my eyes. Isn't it obvious?! I wouldn't be here anymore if the car started working fine. " Oh I forgot to tell you last night... I'll just get it fixed later." Dad said as he noticed something behind. " It's okay if you want me to be absent or something!" I beamed. I guess today is my lucky day.

" Of course not. Why don't you take a ride with Chaz? You're in the same school anyways," Dad pointed at Chaz that just came out of their house. Fuck, no way. I will not ride with that pervert!  " No way!! I might get killed or-- or get kidnapped-- or... raped!" I yelled and shook my head. What are other excuses I could use? NO! I just don't wanna get near him anymore.

" Oh don't be so childish, Gabriella." Dad said. No. No. No. Please! Do not call him. " Chaz?" Dad called out. Shit. He does something to me and-- and then I just end up not lookinng away from his eyes. It's creepy yet I feel so-- I don't know.

" Good morning, sir. Morning, Gabriella." Chaz smiled and waved. Here he goes again! Trying to act all nice and stuff. Ugh. " Is it okay if you drive Gabriella to school with you?" Dad asked without even hesitating. I hope he rejects. Like, maybe he has more important things to do? " Sure. Hop in!" He beamed. No. " Ermm... No thank you. I rather walk than commit suicide." I said coldly.

" Gabriella..." Dad said in a warning tone. " Don't worry! You won't get hurt." Chaz said. I just rolled my eyes and got in his car. Dad waved but I ignored him.

Chaz smirked. He was speeding up, it felt like the car wasn't even touching the road! What a maniac! Is he trying to get us killed?!  " Chaz, slow down! Do you really want to kill me?" I asked as I quickly strapped on the seat belt. This guy is nuts!

He chuckled. " Do you trust me?" Chaz looked at me. Again, those green eyes! Why are they so... Facinating?  " Just keep your eyes on the road, idiot!" I looked away from him. Again, he just laughed. Is everything a joke to him?!

He slowed down and cars were taking over. I just hate that! I don't like it when cars over take.  " I'm a way better driver than you are. You drive like a turtle." I shook my head. " I didn't know turtles could drive!" He said with a fake interested tone. Is he seriously that dumb? " Shut up. You knew what I meant. It means you're slow!" I explained. Wow, he's a dumb blonde.

" I know what it means! You said I was fast and now you're complaining?" He had a questioning look. He doesn't get me at all. " Well, not that fast and not this slow would be nice!" I said in a isn't- it- obvious tone. Chaz just shrugged. This only proves one thing... Men are not good drivers-- I knew it!

Soon, we arrived. Only ten minutes left before we're officially late.

" let's go. We are running late." Chaz said as he glanced at his watch. " Pssh.. I don't care. I want to be late." Obvious enough? " Oh come on! Do I have to carry you?" He asked sarcastically. The last thing I want him to do is to touch me. " Eww, no. Don't even touch me." I said warningly.

" Touch. Touch. Touch." He kept repeating as we walk inside the hallways. Chaz was poking me and I was starting to loose my temper. He's like this stupid child who has no friends 'cause he's to weird. " If you still want to live, you'll stop poking me." I said as I tried to calm myself. " Okay, okay... Relax. I was just messing with ya'," Chaz chuckled.

" Immature douche bag." I muttered and shook my head. Why do I have to hang out with this guy? " I heard that," Chaz whispered then elbowed me." I said no touching!" I yelled as I sat down and Chaz sat down next to me.

" Do you mind? Please don't sit next to me." I said, trying to act nice but the iciness in my voice was still heard. " But I want to sit next to you." Chaz said in a flirty tone. Yuck! He's hitting on me! " Well I don't." I said coldly as I looked away from him.

Chaz touched my chin to make me face him. He looked at me as if I was a puzzle piece that he needs to solve. Chaz stared at my eyes, making me look into his as well. I gulped as I found myself with no interest in looking away from those eyes. How does he do that? Ugh.

" I didn't notice that you had hazel brown eyes." Chaz smiled as he lightly touched my cheeks. I looked into his eyes. I wanted to tell him how wonderful they seem to me. I wanted to say how facinating they seemed... But I knew I shouldn't. I moved away from him with a disgusted look on my face. " Yeah, I have a boring pair of brown eyes... No need to rub it in just because you got green eyes!" I crossed my arms over my chest.

" Don't you think their creepy? I mean... It creeps me out sometimes. Seeing people with brown eyes or-- or blue and I'm here with green creepy eyes." He said and laughed. " It fits you. You're a creepy person as well, you know." I laughed at my own joke. He chuckled and shrugged. He probably considered it.
