Forbidden Luver

By: Devika Rai

For Gabriella Montez friends were the most important thing to her. She looked out for them, they looked out for her. She only kept the good ones close. Ones who were loyal and those she could trust. She had been in and out of luv many times. Love to her was someone she would always have a place for in her heart and never feel any resentment towards them. The so called times she had been in "love" had not been real to her. She called it luv because as much as she cared for them and did love them, she was never in love with them. After they had hurt her and went on their way, she found herself able to move on without looking back. Except for the guy sitting in front of her at this moment. John. They had tried things about two years ago but it hadn't worked out. She had ended up hurting him without meaning to. Since then, anytime they had problems with the person they were with they would run back to each other. It hurt a little more each time but she realized she just couldn't let go. Maybe it was the fact that she had screwed things up. But she never forgot him and always forgave him for everything he did even when it hurt like hell. She always took him back as a friend even knowing that he would once again hurt her one of these days. She thought she had learned from one of her ex's not to believe a word guys said. But that didn't stop her from getting caught up. As she would come to realize that would be her downfall of sorts.

As Gabriella sat there with John and Tyler, she realized she needed someone new in her life. Someone to make her smile, to make life more interesting. Something was coming, she could feel it. Little did she know that this person wouldn't be exactly "new" to her life. That he would come from the most unexpected places, but he sure would make life a lot more interesting.

" Hey Gabs," John said breaking her out of her daze. "You know where we can get any weed from?"

Gabriella thought about it for a moment.

"Idk. Chad might have some he might could sell you"

"Oh yea! Why didnt i think of that?"

"You're not as smart as me. Maybe if you would have finished high school..." Gabriella teased.

Tyler laughed at that. Gabriella always teased John for not finishing school. But it was only out of affection that she did. If anyone else were to gt on him for it, he would be pissed off. But he didnt mind when she did it. Gabriella wasnt the only one who couldn't forget what they had in the past.

"Shutup ignant ass," John said laughing. That was what he called her. She wasn't ignorant to him. She was ignant. Another sign of affection between two friends. " Are you gonna give me the number or not?"

"Now whos ignant? Here I'll call him."

So Gabriella called and talked to Chad. He agreed to trade them a 20 bag of tree for a 20 bag of white. So John went and got the white from his aunt who was also Gabriellas go to person and they left to go over to Chad and Taylor's. Chad had told them to call when they got there because he would have to come downstairs because Taylor was sleeping and he didn't want her to know he was getting white. John went out meet him and Gabriella and Tyler stayed in the car.

"I think theres something wrong with me," she told Tyler watching John as he walked away.

Tyler followed her gaze.

"No theres not. You can do so much better. I dont know why you let him get to you"

Me neither gabriella thought to herself as John got back in the car.

"Look at this!! There is no way this is a 20 bag. He gave us more than he should have," John said excitedly.

"But wasn't the bag you gave him a 30?" asked Tyler

"This is still way more," replied John

"Am i good or what?" gloated Gabriella

"Thank you Gabbie," they both said in unison.

She laughed. They were like such little kids sometimes.

"Theres alot here, you want any?" asked John.

"Nah you know thats not my thing anymore"

"Well if theres any left tomorrow we'll smoke with you"

Gabriella agreed to that. They dropped her off at home and left to go to Tyler's where they were planning on smoking all night. As she went inside and up to her room she realized Chad had never text her back. Before she had called to ask for the weed they had been having a conversation about something she couldn't remember right now. No one realy knew that they text each other. It was totally innocent but Taylor, despite being Gabriellas best friend was a little jealous and insecure. It mostly had to do with the fact that here lately Chad had been more persistent on having a threesome with Taylor and Gabriella. But thats what Taylor told her anyway. Chad had never said anything around her and so she always shrugged it off.

" That asshole!" Gabriella exclaimed out loud. " He got his coke and now he can't talk to nobody?!"

She had half a mind to text him that right then, but decided against it. As she turned away, her phone went off teling her that she had a text message. All thoughts of Chad went out of her head as she picked up her phone wondering who could be texting her at this time of night.
