The bad boy fell in love with me

Chapter Twenty- four

Back to Abigail's P.O.V 

 I haven't seen Gabriel ever since yesterday and I'm kind of worried about him. Is he still pissed at me about yesterday? What was he even pissed about? All I said was Dylan O'Brien and Thomas Brodie-Sangster are hot, and it's true! That was so childish of him, what does he mean by what he said? 

Just? Just a celebrity, huh? You have no clue what I feel about you!

His words keep replaying in my head, again and again, distracting me from my learning. I scratched my chin over and over again trying to find out what it meant but it was no use. Ugh! Boys are so confusing! They're like bipolar, one moment they act all nice and care about you then the next moment they start coming at your neck. Yeah, that's Gabriel for you. I think he's on his man period or something. Sometimes, I always wonder what goes in his head as I wonder about what goes in Niall Horan's head. That cute Lil' Irish princess-

My thoughts were interrupted by Mr. Holland clicking his fingers in front of my face, making me blink several times before my brain clicked back to reality. "Ms. Rodriguez. I hope you're done with rambling in your head! What is the answer to my question?", asked Mr. Holland. I gave him a small shy smile and looked around me, all eyes were trained on me, making me slightly nervous. "Sorry, Mr. Holland... What was the question?", I asked, ending it with a voice crack. Some people behind me were giggling and snickering, making me sink on my seat embarrassment visible on my face. Mr. Holland only chuckled giving me a wink. "I asked what was going on with your head, Ms. Rodriguez!", he said, making the whole class laugh. But it completely went silent when he raised his hand. 

"Uh... H-homework, Mr... Mr. H-holland! Yes... Homework?" it came out more like a question to myself. Wow! Nice excuse, Abigail!  said my subconscious mind. I mentally face palmed myself for coming up with the worse excuse ever. He gave me a secretive suspicious look and chuckled, going back to whatever he was talking about. I took an unnoticeable breath of relief and snapped out of spacing out once in a while. "I knew you were thinking about him!", someone whispered behind me making me turn into a tomato. "Shut up!", I hissed, only getting a deep chuckle in return. 

Class ended and I got up from my chair, packing all my belongings. Just then Bailey's face appeared in the picture, making me roll my eyes, annoyed. "You were thinking of him!", he sang teasingly. "Bailey, I can assure you... I would never think of him!", I said, keeping my voice from getting high-pitched. Dad always calls me out for lying when my voice gets high-pitched, it's so annoying and he also calls me out for having a monotone voice, another way of hiding my lies. But I've learned that if you don't panic or maintain your nervousness, you get to professionally lie to someone. "Hmm, yeah right!", teased Bailey, giving me a smirk and a wink before walking off. 

The classroom was practically empty, I took a shaky breath I didn't know I was holding. Before I could even walk out of the classroom Mr. Holland spoke up. "You know... If you're worried about Gabriel, he's probably in the school boundaries smoking. He gets like that when he's pissed at someone or something, talk to him if you need or want to. Love's tough, Abigail!", he said, walking over to me with his bag on his back and patting me on the back. I looked at him in disbelief, my jaw hitting the ground. "Since when did I mention it was him?", I asked, giving it away because of my voice getting high-pitched. He turned around and chuckled. "You didn't deny it though!", he teased, giving me a smirk.  

He walked out of the room, walking tall and disappearing to where he's off to. I huffed angrily and crossed my arms across my chest. What is it with everyone? Is this some kind of 'Gang up on Abigail' type of thing'? Whatever it is... It's so damn annoying! Ugh, it's so annoying when everyone can see things you can't even see what's right in front of you. But for real though... What are they even talking about? I uncrossed my arms again and took a deep breath, before heading to the school boundaries looking for Gabriel. I didn't care if I missed my free period talking to Gabriel, at least he'll get an apology from me. 

Girl!?! He doesn't need an apology, he was just jealous of Dylan O'Brien and Thomas Brodie-Sangster! Why else would you need to apologize? *sigh* I'm sick of this!

I ignored my logical subconscious mind's saying and continued my way outside, ignoring all the eyes coming my way. "Ha! I guess she's alone again, just like from the beginning!", said a girl who was a year younger than me. I rolled my eyes as I continued walking. "I bet Mrs. Johnson was getting too tired of hanging out with her! Who am I kidding? Everyone's been tired of her, in fact, everyone hates her! I feel sorry for that Bailey kid and Mrs. Johnson hanging out with her!", her friend said. "I agree with you! Look at that, she's such a nerd!", said the other girl, they laughed and walked in the opposite direction. My confident stance quickly vanishing and my heart ached. I ignored the tears and my aching heart as I continued to make my way to the school boundaries. I couldn't take it anymore, tears started to fall down my cheeks making my eyes blur. I sat down on a bench and hugged my legs to my chest, sobs escaped my mouth. 

I heard footsteps coming towards me and I ignored it, the sobs escaping from my mouth continued. Soon the footsteps stopped in front of me, my grip around my legs tightened. "Go on... Make fun of me... Tear me apart... I don't care... Laugh at me all you want... I don't care!", I managed to in between sobs. I felt a hand placed on my shoulder, but I swatted it away. Standing up and looking at the person in the eye. Those mesmerizing brown eyes...

Gabriel... Gabriel!

I instantly regretted it and sat back down. But before my butt could even touch the bench, Gabriel pulled me into his chest and hugged him. I tensed up, shocked at first but I wrapped my arms around him tightly. Not too tight but enough to make me let it all out. I smelt the cigarettes in his clothes and the air. "Abigail!", he whispered sympathy clearly in his voice. "I'm so sorry! I'm sorry for being such a complete mess, I'm so sorry you even had to meet me, I'm so sorry for everything! I'm so sorry for being alive!", I sobbed into his shirt, inhaling his scent. Vanilla and Cinnamon. It relaxed me a bit, I could tell tears were staining his shirt. "You're beautiful, you know that?", he mumbled, chuckling nervously. 

My cheeks were the color of crimson red, he kissed me on the head. My tears no longer streamed down my face, my heart no longer ached. Maybe liking Gabriel was a good choice. 

That's my girl!

I smiled at what my subconscious mind said and moved my head away from Gabriel's chest to look at his mesmerizing brown eyes. "You mean that?", I asked he gave me a very sweet and genuine smile. He nodded and smashed his lips on mine, not really but it was passionate yet disparate at the same time. I kissed back and placing my fingers on his hair, deepening the kiss. He bit my lip asking for permission, I gladly opened my mouth as his tongue explored my mouth as our tongues moved in sync with one another. 

My heart was beating fast and my head was dizzy. We broke the kiss, heavily breathing and he placed his forehead on mine. Giving me a smile that reached his mesmerizing brown eyes, I smiled back and closed my eyes feeling the autumn breeze break through the air.
