Temptations (A Vinny Castronovo Love Story) *Completed*

Chapter Sixteen

(Gabrielle's POV)

"Wait... You what?! Oh my God Oh my God OH MY GOD. My best friend is going on tour with the ICONic Boyz. Oh my God. OH. MY. GOD." Kat was officially spazzing out. We were walking to our next class, whcih was sadly Science. I have this class with Vinny. Well derp. "Wait, so you're going to be traveling, with the ICONic Boyz, and you're NOT freaking out?" Kat asked, now basically hyperventilating. I laughed, and shook my head. "Vinny was my best friend for I don't know how long, and he was an ICONic Boy. It's not a big deal." I said, taking my seat next to her. "But we grew up with him! It's different for the other boyz..." Kat droned on and on, but I stopped listening, because Vinny walked in. I smiled at him, and he kept walking towards me. Oh my God, was he going to talk to me? He stopped in front of my desk, and smiled. "Hey Kat, is it okay if I steal Gab from you for this one class?" She smirked at me, and smiled. "Sure Vin." "Awesome." Vinny and I walked to the back of the room, and sat at the lab table in the corner. We could basically do whatever we wanted back here, the teacher didn't really care. "Sooo, what did you need to talk to me about?" I asked, hoping we could get it over with now so I didn't have to miss lunch with my friends. "It's sort of private, I'd rather talk about it when we weren't around other people, ya know?" Vinny whispered back, since class had officially started. "What does it have to do with then?" I asked, getting impatient. "Just... Us, I guess." Vinny mumbled. I sighed, and groaned. I knew it'd be something like that. "Fine. Whatever yo say Vin." I said, it was clear I was getting irritated. "Ya know what? I'll text you it. I'd probably be too chicken to say it out loud anyways...." Vinny said, his fingers finding their way across his iPhone's screen. I sighed, and tapped my foot impatiently. Finally, my phone vibrated. I unlocked it, and read the message to myself:

Do you ever think we could be more than friends?

I looked up at him, he had hope in his eyes. I reread the text over and over, and finally looked back at Vinny, and shrugged, then mouthed "Maybe". He smiled, and side hugged me, which took my by shock. We hadn't hugged, or made any physical contact in anyway in forever. I remember he always used to pick me up and spin me around because I'm so short and tiny. I couldn't help but smile at the thought. We used to be so perfect. Everyone was convinced we'd grow up to get married one day.... I was one of those people. I was in love with him. I sighed, and tried to focus on the work now. I doubt after all he's done things can go back to normal....
