The bad boy fell in love with me

Chapter nine

I stayed in the library helping Mrs. Johnson with sorting the new books out into their shelves, Bailey was in the cafeteria buying me food from the cafeteria. I snuck the Girl Scout cookies in class and nobody even suspected anything which was a good thing because I ate the whole box of them. 

"Oh, Abigail! Here's your food!", sang Bailey, as he walked over to me. Just out of nowhere Mrs. Johnson scared the livings out me and Bailey. "Food? Did you get me one?", asked Mrs. Johnson, eyeing my slice of pizza and Bailey's bagels. I snatched my slice of pizza from Bailey and licked it. "I licked it, it's mine!", I teased, she gave a huff and gave me a smug smile until she got out my favorite Filipino snack... Mang Juan. 

"Stop! I'll give you this pizza please!", I begged, kneeling down on my knees. Bailey was whimpering like a puppy as he dropped his bagels and eyed the Mang Juan chips packet. Suddenly she eventually gave up and let us have some, the bell rang just in time we finished the chips. I put my slice of pizza in a paper bag because to keep my 'Don't use plastic' rule going and so I won't forget some people just need to stop using plastic and littering where they please. 

Bailey won't be in my last class today because he's taking an exam for whoever knows what. So, it's just gonna be me and people I have no clue who they are. Hey, I don't socialize that much okay? I'm an introvert plus you'd know what I'm saying if the only thing you do all day is read books than actually going outside and meet actual people than people in books, you know what I mean? I walked the horror of the hallway, people whispering and laughing secretly behind my back, well it's not secretly because even though they're covering their mouths it still sounds like a deformed donkey trying to sing. 

I got to my locker and I noticed something coming out of it, ha very funny Brittany! Do you think I wouldn't notice? I hose coming out of the locker and leading all the way to the drinking fountain, I ignored it and tried to look for someone who was in Ms. Mendes' class. Writing. I looked around till I saw Gabriel stuffing a book  -that I know is from Ms. Mendes' class-  in his bag from his locker. I walked up to him and tapped him on his shoulder. "Oh, hey! Potato, what may I help you with?", he asked, a mocking glint in his eye. I rolled my eyes and adjusted my bag strap. "I can't get my writing book out because Brittany tried to prank me by putting a hose in my locker, so if I opened the locker I'd get sprayed by water! Also, can we share your book?", I asked he stared at me with something in his eyes that I can't quite put my finger on it. "Sure! You can sit next to me!", he said, giving me one of his most adorable smiles. 

My heart suddenly skipped a beat...

Wait, what just happened?

Suddenly butterflies filled my stomach, I felt myself blush and avoided his gaze.

Oh, his mesmerizing gaze- 

"Potato! If you're gonna stare at me all day like I'm a muffin then please don't it in front of me! No, actually keep doing it! So, it reminds me how beautiful and attractive I am!", he said, giving me his smirk and a wink. "Gosh, you're so cocky!", I said, he looked at me and winked again. "Glad you think so, Princess Potato!", he said, he was trying his hardest not to laugh but lost it when I gave him one of my 'Say that one more time!' look. "I'm kidding!", he said, holding his hands up for surrender. "You better be!", I mumbled. 

"Sorry? What did you say? I think I heard 'Oh my gawd, Gabriel! You're making me blush!", he said, trying to attempt a high pitched girl's voice. "I don't sound like that! By the way, I haven't seen Ethan lately!", I said, adjusting my bag strap again. He grabbed my shoulder and fixed my bag straps. "Potato, you gotta get medium sized bags because this bag doesn't fit you and Ethan's sick!", he said, the bell rang indicating to hurry up and get to your classes. 

...

The day ended well, I got to know a little bit about Ethan and Gabriel how they met and why did they become best friends. But that's another story for next time. Although, he said he has a little sister called Stacy. Ha! Gabriel and Stacy! How adorable!

I'm sitting in my room bored as hell waiting for Bailey to come back from his exam and I can't be bothered reading books today, so I just went on my phone. I got an Instagram notification from an unknown account. 

@gabriel_henderson started following  you 

That's weird I didn't even mention to him if I have Instagram or not. I only use it for posting dad's upcoming books or mainly a little of Polaroid photography. But I zoomed in on the profile picture to see if it actually was him. 

That's when a very interesting conversation began...

...
