"Gabs, our assignment is due in tomorrow." Taylor reminded me. "What's wrong, you always do the work the night it's handed out. What's the matter?""Me and Troy had another argument." I told her. "Brittany's been following him around, and he's complaining that we're never together enough!" I sighed, resting my head against the table.
"Forget him, Gabs. Just think: Assignment. Paper due in on the works of William Shakespeare. And you know what happens when Ms. Darbus doesn't get her homework in.""God, don't remind me." I groaned. Ms Darbus had given me detention during free period every day for a week. Apparently it was important that I couldn't remember who the director of our local theatre was. John White, by the way. "I'm gonna go to the science lab now then. I have some Chemistry assignments, too. And the library is way to full of that fat librarian.""Okay, see you later!" Taylor called. "Love you!" "Love you too!" I called back, laughing. I dumped my bag in my locker, only grabbing my notepad, and a pen. I slammed the locker door, and continued to walk to the science lab. I swung open the door, and gasped at what I saw, with tears coming, and a lump in my throat. Sat on my science desk was Brittany. And stood in front of her, with his tongue down her throat, and a hand underneath her short skirt, was Troy. As in, my boyfriend Troy. I cleared my throat, and they turned to face me. Troy's eyes widened, and Brittany smirked. "Oops." Brittany giggled."Shit, Gabriella-" Troy started, but I turned and ran. I ran through the hallways, struggling to run in my high heels. I heard his steps behind me, and I heard him yelling my name, but I kept running. He was faster than me- duh, he was basketball captain. My tears filled my vision, and the sobs wrecked my throat. I suddenly felt his arms around my waist, and he spun me around. I slapped him, hard, and he winced. "Get your hands off me!" I screamed. "You were-doing stuff- with her!"
"CALM DOWN!" He yelled. I looked at him in shock. Troy never yelled… never…
I turned, and ran again. Suddenly, I slipped on the shiny floor, and hit my head, blacking out.
I woke up immediately, gasping. "Just a dream, just a dream, just a dream." I muttered. Somebody stirred next to me. I saw Troy's head pop up, and his sleepy eyes gazed at me. "Babe, are you okay?" He asked. I closed my eyes, forgetting the dream already."Troy… you'd never cheat on me, would you?" I asked. His mouth dropped, and he sat up, pulling me into a hug. "Babe, I'd never cheat on you. Where've you gotten that silly idea from?" He reassured me. "I love you, okay?" I always will." I smiled at him, and he kissed my forehead. "You silly, beautiful, amazing, wonderful girl.""I love you too."
