°Gabriel in the Media🐾☝

(Gabriel's POV)🐾~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Watching Tiara sitting on the other side of the class, I finally build up the courage to go talk to her. I needed to win this bet man, the boys said they'll buy my text books for the entire year. That's more money staying in my pocket.

Getting up from my stool, I walk on over to her and tap her shoulder.
"Yes?" she turned to me.

"Hi, it's Tiara right?"

"Mhmm"

"Well my name is Gabriel--"

"Yeah I know who you are" she says in a dull tone of voice.

"You do huh? Is there something you heard?" I raise my eyebrow at her, wondering why she's coming off as rude to me.

"Nope. I just know who you are and apparently a lot of the girls here do"

"Oh. Well *clears throat*...You mind if we talk"

"About?"

"I don't know" I take a seat next to her. "I just wanted to talk to you"

"Wow that's a first. I though boys like you don't like girls like me"

"Boys like me? Is that a compliment or an insult?"

"However you take it as I guess" she looks down at her phone. ...damn this girl actin'....you know😒

"So it's surprising that I'm talking to a girl like you huh? What that mean"

"I thought you go for the girls with the light skin tones and curly hair like yourself. Not someone dark like me...since that's ugly to niggas now a days"

"Damn. Insecure much?"

She looks at me and gives me a look. "Fuck you..." she says, getting up and gathering her stuff.

"Tiara I'm sorry but...you wasn't making it that easy for me either. I just wanted to f'n talk" I defend my self.

"Kiss my black ass..." she chuckles, walking away.

"Hey you" he says as I pick up the phone.

"Hi, stanger"

He chuckles. "I know I know, I'm sorry babe. You know it get busy down here..."

"Curtis you sell drugs and stay in the house, how busy could it get?"

"Whatever. Can you stop being mean to me and let me come see you. I miss my girlfriend"

"So why haven't you called her then?

He sighs. "I um....I was in the hospital and I ain't talk to nobody since"

"Why?" I ask, concerned.

"You know I have chronic stress sometimes that I can't handle. So the doctor told me to take a break from my reality for a few days. But I feel better now so......I wanna come see my girl"

I blush. "Your girl wants to see you too"

"She better. And I hope she'll let me make it up to her without a big fuss. I'm sorry again for not calling but...I needed to chill out for a minute. What school you go to again?"
