Tackled

Ch. 2 Liam's Pov

        After the bell rang for class I started to go to my first period when Megan came up to me and talked me into going in a storage closet with her. Megan lead me to one of the storage closets and locked the door, we started kissing and you know where that leads to. After we finished Megan started asking questions.

"Who was that ugly bitch?" She says putting her shirt, which is barley a shirt, back on.

"Who?"

"The one you hugged." I let out a short lived laugh.

"That was my best friend and for one she isn't ugly and two don't ever talk bad about her or talk about her in general." I say quickly putting my hoodie on then walking out heading straight for my next class.

  The bell rang as I was walking down the hallway. 

"Shit... oh, well." I mutter as I open the door to U.S. history.

"Mr. Walker, why are you late to my class?" Ms. Augustine looked at me through her glasses at the edge of her nose.

"I had to pee. Is that a problem?" I retort.

"No, i guess not." With that I went and sat down closer to the back of the room.

"So, what is the real reason you're late?" Tate asked from behind me.

"I don't know what your talkin' about." I reply with a smirk.

"Duuude.. did you and Meg bang in a storage closet?" Saxon said as more of a statement than a question.
I just smirk and turn around to start my work.

1 period later

"I'll see you boys later." I said as i walked down the hall to chemistry.
I get to spend the rest of the day with my best friend.

I walked into chemistry and instantly found Gabby sitting in the middle of the room, walking over I sat down next to her.

"Hey, shortie."

"Hi, Liam."

"Whatcha workin' on?"

"Nothing." She closed the little notebook she was writing in and put it under her binder.

"Okay. So what are we doin' today? "

"Why don't you listen and find out."

"Damn.. okay I-" I was cut off by the teacher walking in.

"Hello, class." Mr. Jones spoke as he put his briefcase on his desk.

Hi' s were heard from around the room and Mr. Jones started his lesson.

Every few minutes I would look over at Gabby and she was so focused on her notebook, she didn't even notice, but I was so focused on how beautiful she looked. As she tucked a little piece of hair behind her ear,she looked over at me.
"What?" She questions tilting her head a little in confusion.

"Just wonderin' what you are so focused on in that notebook."
She smiles and puts her pencil in the notebook making sure she doesn't lose her place then closes it.
"Maybe one day you'll find out but that isn't gonna be any time soon Li." 

"So, what are we doing for lunch?"

"I dunno."

"Do you wanna go to the diner?"

"Sure. But why?"

"Because I have to talk to ya without the boys bein' around."

"Okay?" Gabby was so confused.

The class continued and I would look at Gabby whenever I could, she is so beautiful. Her hair is a shade of butterscotch blonde, that looks so peaceful yet unruly. Her eyes are a shade of green, like sage.

The bell rang snapping me out of my trance of looking at her and the day went slow up till lunch. We went to my truck then drove to the diner. I was kinda nervous to ask her this question.
When we get there we sit in our normal booth and ordered food. We both ordered burgers because i mean come on, they're burgers, but the diner has the best burgers in town. Piled high with all the fixin's the burgers are pure heaven.   About 10 minutes later our food was placed in front of us and we began eating.
"So I talked to my Na-Na and Pa-Paw, they said she isn't doing to well."

"I'm so sorry Li. Is there anything i can do to help?"

"Yeah, we are taking a trip up to the Walker Family Farm to be with them," i pause as
her facial expression goes sad.
"When are you leaving?" she asked before i could finish my sentence.  

"Thursday night and we aren't coming back til Monday morning. "

"Oh." She looks down and all i want to do in that moment was hug her, pull her into my arms and never let go.

"I want you to come with me, in case I need you. " Her head shot up and she smiled.

"I would love to come but are your parents good with me coming?"

"Yes of course they love you. And it was Ma's idea to bring you along. She says its to keep me lookin' on the good side of things."

"I'll talk to my dad today and tell him I'm going."

"Ok, Cool. Should we get back to school?" 

"Yeah, let's go." Gabby sighed.
I paid the check and back to school we went. I help Gabby get in my truck then run around to the driver's side.

Before I know it we are back in school and Gabby is leaving for her next class
