Touch Your Heart

Chapter 2

It was really a shocker to know. After spring break everyone's been talking about how Gabriel Stills had his fall-out with his group. Now everyone's afraid to move - cautious not to get the Big Whigs on their tails - and started to avoid Gabriel like he's some leper on the street.

"Damn that's really bad.." I heard one time on the cafeteria. Gabriel's totally left-out now and he's on his own in a totally secluded table.

I looked around the place and found that there's no free table but his. I don't feel like eating on the comfort room today. I've no idea but both my feet moved and started on Gabriel's way.

"Aren't you selfish hogging this whole table to yourself?"

He was so busy that he didn't saw me approaching him and almost spill his drink on the table when I speak up.

"Gabrielle?"

I bit my tongue when I saw his face.

I can't say if it was a look of wonder or he was just surprised on how I approach him. But all I felt that moment was pity.

The tray clatter as I deposited it on the table opposite Gabriel's side. My right eyebrow twitch into that familiar feeling when someone's gawking at me.

"Doesn't anyone told you that staring is rude?" I said as I settle down on the bench.

Most of my starting years in high school wasn't fun at all. I got bullied by a bunch of jerk kids and when I can't take it no more... I started punching, pulling hairs, or bitching when somebody tries to do their old ways on me.

Well I can say that it paid-off. No one tries to bully me now with the price of being ostracized. NO BIGGIE.

"Jeez. So angels do fall from the skies! He's so in the low now, that he started hanging out with trashes."

My right eye brow twitch into that familiar feeling. I look behind me and glare at a bunch of make-up faces. They glare back at me like the bitches they we're made-of but... I smiled.

"I hope you know that it's bad for girls when they do bitch fights. Know what I'm saying?"

I saw a couple of the faces screwed-up. They got up from their table and went somewhere else. That's fine I guess?

"What did just happened?" 

I stuck out my tongue and blow a raspberry. Jeez. Not all pretty and preen but I like it.
