Gabriella in the present: Pay back sure is a sweet thing especially when it happens to someone like Daniel Cruz, I think I'm jumping a head a little… my name is Gabriella Montez and I'm 5'5 139 pounds, brown eyes and long dark brown hair and currently 23 years old. I'm in college working in Journalism. But never mind all that this isn't even about me it's about Daniel. Yes Mr. Daniel Cruz 5'8 239 pounds and he was the basketball Captain at our high school. Okay to fully understand why pay back is such a sweet thing. I have to tell you what happened between us from the beginning.
Flash Back: To June 12, 2003
My beast friend and I stood next to my locker. I was mad as hell because I didn't have a date for the Junior Prom coming in 10 days.
Gabriella:
"I can not believe that I still don't have date for the Junior Prom.
Taylor:
"Sorry to say this girl, but I have a date with Chad he asked me this morning!"
Gabriella:
"Oh that's just wrong… I'm kidding girl thats good. Have fun without me."
Taylor:
"Stop being so dramatic Gabriella; you'll fine a date."
Gabriella:
"Doesn't seem like it, June 22 is just around the corner."
Taylor:
"I know, but hey I'll see in P.E. 4th period okay?"
Gabriella:
"Okay see you then (Taylor and I shared a hug) bye girl."
Taylor:
"Bye." (She walks to her class)
Gabriella thinks out loud: June 22 was not only the last day of school, but it was also Junior Prom. Now why they wait so late to have Junior Prom is beyond me. But it was okay in April and May because I had a lot of time. But the prom is next week and I still don't have a date. Boy this was definitely a first for me ...
Then Daniel Cruz walked up to me as I was getting a book from my locker. He taps me on my shoulder, and I jumped up hitting my head on my locker door, closing it with my book still inside. Daniel chuckles a little to himself then ask me if I were alright.
Daniel:
"Damn girl you hit the locker hard, are you okay?"
Gabriella:
"Yeah I'm fine" (I said rubbing my head)
Daniel:
"That's good" (He smiled)
Pause:
Gabriella in The Present: Boy did he have a sexy smile ... hey give me a break I was only 16 at the time. I mean Daniel had long curly dark brown hair. He had a smile like Brad Pitt , a body like Mario Lopez and eyes like Orlando Bloom. In my eye he was sexy from head to toe!
Flash Back:
Daniel:
"I came over here, because I was wondering if you wanted to be my date for the prom coming up".
Gabriella:
"I would love to."
Daniel:
"Great I'll buy our tickets today."
Gabriella:
"Okay."
Daniel:
"Oh yeah I'll have my driver pick you up at 7:00pm so we can have dinner first okay?"
Gabriella:
"Yeah that's fine…um I have to get to class."
Daniel:
"Yeah me too."
Daniel and I went our separate ways. I went to my English class and Daniel went to study hall. As I sat there in Ms. Darbus class I was completely bored out of my mind when my phone ranged, and when I opened my phone; I saw a surprising text message. I looked at the number, and was surprised to see who it was from....
