Locker Neighbors

Matt

Walking down the halls, all the girls stare in awe. I know what they want from me. They want to play with my heart and make me love them, then they'll leave. Just like what Vivian did to me... And like I've done to Gabby.

I never meant to hurt her... I didn't even realize I was hurting her, until she told me to never speak to her again. I would have been fine if Vivian left, and Gabby was still around to help make me smile, but she isn't. So, I put on a fake smile, and played every girl in school, except Gabby's little group of friends.

Messing around with Gabby would boost my reputation with the guys a lot higher then it already is, but I can't do that to Gabby. She's too special to me.

"Hey LeRay!" My buddy, Thomas, yelled from down the hall.

"Sup man?" I asked giving him our normal handshake.

Thomas is a lucky bastard, because he dated Gabby. And from what I've heard, he fucked her up so bad that she wouldn't date anyone after him, because he broke her.

"So, your locker is by Gabby? You plan on playing her too?" He asked excitedly.

Me and Thomas have a chart, to see who can get the most, and hottest, girls. Gabby, since Vivian left, is now considered the hottest girl in school, and the hardest to get. If you get her in bed with you, which even Thomas didn't do, you win the grand prize of a brand new Ferrari.

"Nah. She's too difficult." I said, waving my hand in the air, dismissing the thought of me breaking Gabby's heart, and taking her virginity.

Thomas looked at me as if I was crazy,
"I heard she has a new boyfriend. You better get in her back, before you loose her forever dude."

"What are you talking about?" I tried to hide it.

"Matt. Shut the fuck up. I know you love her, I can tell by how you look at her." He said irritated.

"I don't look at her." I said, trying to be nonchalant.

Just as I spoke those words, Gabby walked passed us. I couldn't help but stare at her beauty. Her long black hair bouncing behind her, her dark brown eyes smiling, wearing a black and blue dress that stopped at her mid-thigh. She looked amazing.

My day dream was interrupted by Thomas waving his hand in front of my face, "Earth to Matt!"

"What?" I asked irritated.

"You were staring at Gabby again." He said, entertained.

"I was not!" I said back in defense.

"Yeah, whatever." He responded, rolling his eyes.

Thomas' face curved into an evil smirk. He looked at Gabby, then back at me. His smirk grew, and so did my curiosity. He started walking towards Gabby's locker, where Gabby was talking to Cassidy.

I couldn't help but follow, not only because I was curious as to what the hell he was doing, but because I had to go to my locker.

When I got there, I was shocked to hear Thomas say the seven words, I never thought I'd hear out of his mouth, "I'm sorry. Can I have you back?"
