Abigail Rodriguez was the school's biggest nerd, people make fun of her big rimmed glasses, her height and how she clumsily drops her books. She was part Filipino, her dad is an American and her mom is a Filipino but passed away when her mom sacrifi...
I looked at the letter once again in my hands, I took a deep breath and tried to calm my fast-beating heart. I continued to walk to the library where Cara told me Abigail, Mrs. Johnson, and Bailey would be. I keep taking breath exercises as I walk to the library.
Please don't be there, please don't be in the library!
I chanted as I walked into the library, I opened my eyes and only saw the one and only themselves... Mrs. Johnson and Bailey. I gave out a sigh of relief as I walked towards them. "Mrs. Johnson?", I squeaked out, they both stopped whispering to each other. I gave them a look asking if they're mental, Bailey smirked at me as he looked at the letter in my hands. A blush crept up my cheeks and I hid it from his view, sometimes I worry about Bailey because he knows about everything. "Yes, Gabriel?", smiled Mrs. Johnson, she turned to Bailey and gave him a wink before turning her attention back at me. "Um, can you give this to Abigail!", I mumbled, nervously rubbing the back of my neck. I'm sure I still have the color of cherries on my cheeks.
"Oh, don't worry we'll give it to her! I'm sure she'll love the invitation!", said Mrs. Johnson, a hint of tease in her voice as she gave it to Bailey who gladly took it, putting it his bag. "M-make sure she... Um, make sure to give it to her as a surprise!", I mumbled, ugh! Why am I shy and nervous all of a sudden. Bailey gave me an approving nod while Mrs. Johnson smiled at me sweetly. I gave them a shy smile and walked off. I was finally able to breathe again, I leaned against a locker and took a deep breath and out. Why's my heart pounding? Why was I nervous? I've never been nervous in my life before, not ever since Vanessa but Abigail left me affected and feeling this way. Left me breathing for more air, left me nearly having a heart attack and mostly left me confused, and left me not being able to sleep at night because of thoughts of her flooding my head.
You definitely like her, dude! Said my subconscious mind. I took a final deep breath and walked back to my class. Do I like her? No, I can't Ethan already likes her. I can't do that to him, she's practically his.
Then why did you hook up with her today? Why did you have sex with her? You practically stole her virginity! Tsk tsk!
I shook my head to distract myself and focus my attention to Mr. Sanchez. He eyed me for a second and continued talking. He talked some more about History projects upcoming next month and everyone didn't seem interested in the way he was informing us. "Okay, so, please work on this as your life depends on it because in a few years you'll be in college looking at your teacher you have no idea what they're talking about!", said Mr. Sanchez, I and a few boys in my row snickered, we turned to each other and smirked.
...
I got home and ran upstairs to my room, practically panicking because Abigail might be here at any moment. "Gabriel? Your mother has asked if you're alright!", said Macy on the other side of the door. I took off my shirt and put on another one before opening the door faster than any human on this earth can and startling Macy. "Sorry, for that! But please tell mom I'm absolutely fine... I'm just-" before I could finish my sentence Macy gave me a smirk and finished it for me. "Nervous that Ms. Abigail Rodriguez will be coming soon? Yes, we've noticed!". She walked off like a boss. Seriously, how can these people notice things so easily by looking at them?
I swear they're not from this earth!
Just I finished fixing my hair I heard Stacy squeal, followed by a laughing Abby Potato. "Oh my god! You actually came!", screamed Stacy. I got downstairs quietly and swiftly, I leaned against a wall just across from them. Jack the butler gave me a wink and thumbs up for approval, I gave him a confused look, he just gave me chuckle as an answer. Abby turned her head to me and her beautiful haunting eyes looking into my mesmerizing ones. Yeah, Bailey told me how she describes my eyes. It's flattering really. Her eyes scanned my body, making my pulse racing. Oh, God! I hope she likes it. "Hey!", she breathed, looking me in the eyes. Her smile lifting me to cloud 9.
I guess she liked it!
"Hey, Abby potato!", I said, chuckling my way over to them. "Oh, let's go to my room and hang out all day long looking at the photos of Gabriel!", said Stacy, dragging Abby her all the way to her room, showing her my baby photos. While I followed in suit giving Abby a smile, while she gave me her smile that managed to make me nearly lose my balance walking up the stairs.
Boy, you're whipped!
...
We're in the living room watching Maze Runner, I looked over at Abigail to see her dreamily sighing at Dylan O'Brien. A pang of jealousy hits my chest. "I'm way more good looking than that guy!", I scoffed, eyeing him on the T.V screen. "Yeah, right!", they both said at the same, they looked at each other and high-fived each other. Making me glare at Abby, why does she do that to other guys and not me? Just then Thomas Brodie-Sangster came up on the screen instantly making Stacy and Abby squeal and fangirl. That's when I had it and stormed out of the room, jealousy, and anger visible in the way I walked out.
I was about to close my bedroom door when somebody blocked it, not strong enough though. I tried again when I caught sight of Abby. "Gabriel, what's wrong with you?", she asked, softly. I opened the door quickly and swiftly making her step back, surprise and shock visible in her eyes. "What's wrong with me? The fact that you were all over that Thomas guy!", I spat, her eyes no longer holding the beautiful haunting twinkle in them, instead, it's holding concern and worry.
"Hey, I wasn't being serious or anything! He's just a celebrity!", she said, raising her voice. I bet everyone in the house can hear our argument in the way we were practically raising our voices. "Just? What do you mean just, huh? When you clearly have no clue what I feel about you!", I yelled, making her gasp. I instantly regretted it as my eyes softened for a moment but tried to hide it by a glare. She looked confused, making me roll my eyes in irritation. Why can't she just open her eyes and notice how much I can't sleep at night, how much I can't focus in class because of her, how much my heart beats for her when she walks in the room.
Oh my God...
I do like her...
A lot...
What's happening to me?
This is a mistake! I shouldn't have feelings for her, what am I gonna do when Ethan finds out?
I leaned against the door of my bedroom, placing a hand to my chest beating like there's no tomorrow. My breathing out of control. What about Vanessa? I can't just do that to her.
Who cares? She's gone, but she's looking down at you trying to tell you to move on! But of course, you're just too stubborn too! Get your fucking shit together!
I took a moment to let the words sink in of what my subconscious mind has said, maybe I should move on. She may be gone but she'll always be in my heart. I can't even believe I'm admitting this now... I fell in love with the one and only... Abigail Elizabeth Roselyn Rodriguez.
...
*fangirling* Oh my God! They finally like each other! I've been waiting for decades!
Anyway thanks to @heliaishere for suggesting a character for Bailey Curtis! I dedicate this chapter to her because she's my best friend and I love her so much! (not really! 😂😂 Just kidding Helly, I love you!)
Here's a picture of Bretman Rock playing Bailey Curtis!
