Gabriel's P.O.V

Ever since what happened in Abby's house, I couldn't sleep that night and in class, I've been falling behind because of thinking about her all the time! What's going on with me? Does anybody know the answer? "Mr. Henderson! How many continents are there in the world?", said Mr. Sanchez, clicking me back to reality. "Um, there should be 5 continents. But there 7 continents all in all Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America, Antarctica, and Australia!", I said, my voice cracking in the process. 

Mr. Sanchez looked impressed and nodded his head, turning back to the board, resuming his class. I took a big breath I didn't know I needed and took a swig of my water bottle. I've got mountain biking after school so that'll help me forget the world and be on my own. 

The class ended and I rushed out the door before Mr. Sanchez could even say a word. What yesterday got my heart beating hard, almost got me out of my breath. Hell, I think it was faster than a lightning bolt or Flash or even Quicksilver. 'You didn't see that coming?'. Ha? Get the reference- Yeah, okay I'll stop. 

Just then Bailey squealed in my ear, making me instantly think he was a murderer. What? I have a habit of punching people when they scare me! Okay? Blame it on my reflexes, they're the reason why Ethan gets bruises on his face all the time. He knows I punch him when he scares me. "Ow! Damn!", said Bailey, holding his left cheek. I clutched my shirt tightly and took numerous breaths calming myself down. "Don't scare me again!", I said, hiding the seriousness in my voice. I hate it when I try to hide everything from people, maybe I should try to break down these walls preventing me to. "Geez! Your reflexes are way fucking too fast for your own good!", said Bailey, not realizing Mrs. Johnson walked passed. She gave a glare in Bailey's direction and walked to wherever she was going. 

"What do you want, Bailey?", I asked, boredom in my voice. I caught a glimpse of Bailey rolling his eyes and sticking his tongue out. "You know if you're trying to be mean to me at least don't try to be childish while doing it!",  I said, a smirk on my face. "How'd you know I was trying to be mean to you? When actually I was just staring at your ego, finding out why girls even find you attractive!", he said, wow, okay he does have a big mouth. "I don't know, but why do you find Bailey attractive, huh?", I said, trying to hold in my laughter because of his face turning in a tomato. 

Don't worry, Bailey! I will help you become a tomato!

"Anyway, I saw what happened yesterday!", he said, giving me a wink. I looked at him confused but inside of me, my heart was pounding. Ethan likes Abby potato, but why was my heart pounding every time someone mentioned Abby potato? "Stop pretending like you don't know a thing! Yesterday you were about to kiss her!", said Bailey. No matter how much I tried to look like an innocent dude it doesn't change the way Bailey looks at me. "Would you quit looking at me like that?", I said, laughing nervously. I shoved a few things in my bag but Bailey shut my locker and leaned against it. "You like her don't you?", he asked, I was shocked by his statement but quickly recovered by laughing at his face.

"No, what made you think that?", I asked as we walked to the library. "Uh, duh! It's because of the way you look at her man! It's so obvious! I mean Ethan showed pictures of you and girls looking at each other like you're 'in love' with that person, but when actually you just look at the girls you've hooked up within a mocking stare in your eyes. When it comes to Abigail... You look like you might kiss her any moment!", he explained. I looked at him blankly and shook my head disapprovingly. "Look, Bailey... As much as I want to believe your explanation or whatever you want to call it... I. Don't. Like. Abby. Potato.", I said and walked into the library. 

It's true, I don't like her. I only see her as a friend. But what happened yesterday in her room, it felt like a magnetic pulse that made our faces inches apart. Her hazel eyes haunting me, her eyes locked in mine made the world stop, time freeze and she was the only thing that my heart was beating for. Until I remembered exactly why I can't have feelings for her... Ethan likes her. He liked her first, from the moment they bumped in the hallway, he fell in love. That's what he said. 

Dude, you have 3 months until Ethan comes back! , my subconscious said. So, go get her and steal Ethan's chance while you still have it! Things can't happen twice, you know.

But what happens if I realize I still have feelings- 

Forget about that! Look, just get over it. You may never know... Maybe she wanted you to move on and be happy! my subconscious said I don't know about this but I think I may try. If it doesn't work out, I'll walk away like it didn't happen. 

"Gabriel? Earth to Gabriel?", said Bailey, waving his hand in front of my face. I swatted his hand away and glared at him. "Okay, you really are annoying me!", I said, walking out of the library once I returned the books I borrowed. "Promise me, you're constantly flirting with Abby annoys me!", he said, pouting and crossing his arms across his chest. "I don't flirt with her! I don't like her! And I... Only see her as a friend nothing else!", I said, putting my hand to my side once again as I finished counting it out on my fingers. "Yeah, that'll change soon! Henderson!", he said, giving me a smile. 

A creepy smile.

The creepiest smile he's ever given me. 

"Stop! And what does that mean?", I asked, he just laughed and walked off, shaking his head in disapproval. "Bailey!", I yelled at him causing people to turn my direction. "La la la! I can't hear you!", yelled Bailey, covering his ears. He looked behind him and sent me a smirk. That smirk would one day be officially off his face.

Sooner than you know. 

...
