'Chad, I'm telling you, she's no ordinary girl' Troy told his best friend.
'Yeah but dude, she has lunch with her Mum and grandparents every Saturday! She's weird.'
'Maybe she's just close?' he suggested.
'That or she has no mates to hang around with'
'Whatever, we gotta run, we'll be late' Troy said getting up and grabbing his keys.
'You think she'll be there today?'
'Well its Saturday isn't it?'
'Chill dude, why you messing with your hair?'
'I'm on waiter duty today, if I get her table, I wanna look decent'
'Troy, dude, you've got the whole female student body after you, you don't need a freaky girl'
'She's not freaky, if she's there today, I'll point her out'
'Whatever man, I still think you're nuts'
'Just because I have some dude' he joked before racing to his car with Chad chasing him.
Gabriella's P.O.V
Ok this is so boring. Why do I have to come here ever single Saturday? It's not right! I'm 17 for crying out loud, not 7! I should be out with my friends, not sat in some stinking restaurant that serves crappy food with my Grandparents! What must people think?
That reminds me, I have to make a start on my philosophy homework.
Anyway, today should hopefully be more exciting because, and I'm letting you in on a secret here, there's this really cute guy that works here. Yep, that's mainly the only reason I agree to come here.
Back to the cute guy, he looks about my age, I dunno what colour eyes 'cause I've not been close enough to him, he's got like sandy, brown hair though, and he looks like he's an athlete. Oh, well, not that it matters, he's probably got a cheerleader girlfriend and anyway, I've got Harley haven't I?
Yeah, I should probably fill you in on that one. I go to West High, I'm dating our school's basketball Captain, Harley Yates. I know, weird name but you'd understand if you saw him. He's the kind of guy cheerleaders drool over and whisper about in the toilets, whatever.
You mustn't tell anyone this because I'd probably be murdered, no joke, I think I might end our relationship. Shock horror. It's not really going anywhere; all he wants to do is make out. He's thick as well, when I say thick I mean mega thick. Not in the popular sense, he can make you feel inferior with one look, he can answer you back like that and when he walks, crowds part. But in lessons or academically, he's brain dead. Completely. If I'm totally honest, and I don't like to admit it, I think he's only with me because I help him with his homework. I know, sad isn't it?
No-ones P.OV.
'Gabriella'
'What, oh yes, sorry Grandma'
'What do you want to order, tell the young man'
Gabriella looked up and saw the cute guy grinning; she couldn't believe she'd just embarrassed herself like that.
'Uh, I'll have the salad and fizzy water please'
'Oh, Gabi, you have to put on some weight, I think all that sport you do is bad for you'
She does sport? Troy thought. He continued to wait while her Grandfather took forever to choose and tried not to look like he was listening.
'I don't do all of the sport, I'm in the stands watching and cheering most of the time'
'Cheering who?' her grandmother said, smiling.
'No-one' Gabriella said, looking down.
'Yes, no-one also goes by the name of Harley Yates'
'Mum!' Gabriella said, not only had her mother told her grandparents who she was dating but now the cute waiter would know she had a boyfriend.
'Who is this Harley Yates?' her grandma asked.
'Like I said no-one'
'Only her boyfriend' her mother said, 'he's handsome too'
Troy received the order and walked over to Chad who was in the kitchens.
He slammed his tray down and made Chad jump.
'What?'
'She has a boyfriend, not just any, Harley Yates!'
'Wait, the West High captain, ooh you're in trouble there'
'I know, pass me that soda and I'll go give them their drinks'
Troy walked back over and began to unload his tray of drinks while they were talking.
'So Gabriella, will this Harley be the father of my great-grandchildren?' the Grandma asked.
'Grandma!' Gabriella said, blushing before walking off to the loos.
Troy held back a smile although he was upset she had a boyfriend.
'Why's she acting like this Gina? I thought she'd love telling us about her boyfriend.'
'I think she's having a hard time on deciding whether or not to keep the relationship going when she switches schools or to end it and start fresh'
Troy's ears perked up as her poured out Gabriella's drink.
'Which school is it again?'
'East High'
Troy's heart was doing somersaults, she was going to his school! He came back down to earth when the grandma asked him a question.
'Sorry Madam?'
'Which school do you go to?'
'East High Madam'
'Oh really, Gabi's going there, are you a senior, do you do any sport? Gabi's into sport'
'Yes, I'm a senior and I'm the Basketball Captain'
'Oh really, I must tell Gabi'
'Tell me what?' Gabriella asked sitting back down.
'That this young man here goes to East High and he's the basketball captain'
'Oh'
'Would you mind filling Gabi in on what it's like? She's a bit unsure' her mother asked.
'Of course, I'm on my break soon, how about then?' Troy said hopefully.
'Sure' Gabriella said, not looking at him.
Troy smiled and walked away, his and Gabriella's hearts were doing flips.
