"Gabby? Gabby?" My mother's voice called out my name in the darkness;
"Mom? Mom?!" I tried reaching out my arms to her; following her voice…
…then all I heard was a gun shot.

Gabrielle's POV
My heart beat was racing, my lungs gasping for air. I was running for my life. I exerted my legs for more speed, if not. Who knows what'll happen to me?
I could hear the footsteps behind me gain more and more as it reached up to grab me. I felt a tap on my shoulder,
…and I screamed.
"Gah!" I yelled; my father hugged me close to his chest. "Honey, calm down. You're awake." He shushed me while rubbing my back; tears streaming down my cheeks as my dream revived the horrible incident that happened years ago. My dad let go and gave me a glass of water and I obediently drank all of it in a single gulp and took deep breaths. My dad stroked my dry hair and smiled gently at me. "Are you okay now? Do you need more water?" He asked, I was grateful to have such a loving and thoughtful dad. I hugged him back and kissed his cheek. "I'll just go to school now, Dad." I gently jump out of the bed and got dressed. My dad went out to give me some privacy as he also left to go to work.
I dressed in some casual clothes; graphic tee&&Skinny jeans complete with some slip-ons.
As I went out the front door and into my yard, I hopped unto my bicycle and headed for school.

Danny's POV
I waited for Brie right outside the school campus; just along the school entrance. She was usually early; where is she?
I then heard a loud thump! Just behind the bushes. I slightly jumped and ran to where I heard it.
--
"Ow,ow,ow," she complained; rubbing her elbow. I immediately helped her up and fixed her bicycle.
"Brie! What the hell?" I shook off all the leaves from her hair and shook her shoulders slightly to wake her up, she was obviously still oblivious from her sleep. I mean, come one, her eyes were abnormally droopy at such a sunny day.
Then she was already conscious when she suddenly stared deep unto my eyes which caused me to blush. I shook my head and blinked twice; ignoring the random increased pulse on my veins. She yawned right infront of my face but her breath didn't stink, it was the exact opposite of that. It smelled of snowy mint.
"Sorry, Dan. I was just…dozing. Don't you notice the sun today? It's so bright." She smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back at her. I admired that about her; her energetic, happy-go-lucky personality. Always looking at the bright side; there's no way that she…
"Let's get going, we'll be late for class…again." I rolled my eyes and wrapped one arm around her waist to support some of her weight. Effortless because she was very light. We headed to class;

Class; still my POV :
As Mr. Bart continued to sermon his topic of a new lesson, I continued to doodle on my notebook. I would also glance secretly at Gab to see what she was doing. I would get mesmerized from her chocolate brown hair playfully landing along her shoulders. Her pinkish cheeks blushing as the teacher would call her name for an answer to his trivia questions. Sometimes, our eyes would meet and yet I continue to wonder if she ever felt the same feelings I felt for her ever since 2nd grade. When we met all because I didn't have a snack for recess and she gave me half of her sandwich. We would still laugh about that but somehow we still remained friends till this day. I wondered too if she felt something more of me; I hoped…
