Gabriella waited on the bus for her stop to arrive, as she did every day. To say she was bored would be an understatement. Her life had been the same schedule for years and she, of course, was completely bored and tired of it.

She didn't have many friends but the ones she did have were amazing to her. Yet, she still never showed them her real side. She had never showed anybody her true colors. Partly because she didn't know what they fully were and is afraid to let them out.

Everyone has that dangerous, wild, crazy side and everyone has the sweet side. Sweet Gabriella is all the world would ever see simply because of fear. She knew one day she would let that wild child shine. Little did she know that it would come sooner than she thought and in a shape of a handsome young man.

The bus pulled to her stop and she got off and waited for Taylor. When Taylor got off, they began walking home.

"So, did you see that sexy guy I was talking to?" Taylor asked.

"No Tay, I sit at the front of the bus. What makes you think I start looking back today?" Gabriella replied nonchalantly.

"He was so cute. He said he likes girls like me. OMG. I cannot wait till' tomorrow!" Taylor exclaimed.

As Taylor continued on, Gabriella just tuned her out and continued her walk home. Though she was used to hearing about the guys that like Taylor, she couldn't stop the jealous feeling at the pit of her stomach.

Guys had always been drawn to her. Neither Gabriella nor Taylor was ugly. It was just that Taylor had experienced more and had more 'assets' than puberty had granted Gabriella with. Gabriella was excited when she saw they were a couple of steps away from home.

"Bye, Tay"

"Bye Gabs. See you tomorrow." Taylor screamed while walking up her walkway to her door.

Gabriella waved her hand as she walked in to her house and closed the door.

"I'm home" she screamed so her dad could know.

"Okay" Her dad replied.

As Gabriella walked up the stairs, she heard the Wii being played. Guns firing from left to write. It was no surprise to her. That's how her dad had been for the past 6 months of being fired from his job.

He used to work as the top finance manager for Gates South, the biggest car dealership out there. He was the best at his job and the job thanked him every month with a big check. However, that dream job was soon snatched away when her dad refused to do an illegal transaction and was fired on the spot. Since then, he's been sitting on the lazy boy playing the Wii.

"I need you to get started on dinner as soon as you get done with your homework."

"Okay" Gabriella replied while walking to her room.

When she got to her room she sat her bags and purse down and closed the door. She plopped on the bed glad to feel the comfortable mattress beneath her. She checked her cell phone to see if anybody had called her.

0 messages.

"Uuuuhh. Life sucks." She screamed into her pillow.

As she lay on her bed she thought about the new boy that Taylor was excited about.

'He doesn't know anything about me. This could be my chance to actually have a boyfriend'. 'Naa, who am I kidding'.

Gabriella went to her book bag to complete her homework and then get started on dinner.

'If only it were that easy to draw a guy in. Then I wouldn't have a reason to be bored, I'll be just li…'

'ZZZZZZZZ' Gabriella felt the vibration in her back pocket. She pulled out her cell phone surprised that she got a text.

'Sit in the back with me tomorrow so I can show you the hottie'

The text was from Taylor. Of course she would want to show off her boy toy she had.

'No thank you' Gabriella typed but before she pressed send that tiny voice in the back of her head pushed forward.

'How bad could it be sitting in the back?' You'll see the guy Taylor is talking about and won't be in the front bored. This is the chance to be different and exciting!'

Gabriella pressed backspace on her phone and began typing the new message. It was time for a change and she wasn't going to miss out on this opportunity.

'Okay, can't wait to see him'

She pressed send and got back to work.

'Ok, cool. Tomorrow is going to be so fun'

Gabriella looked at the message and huffed.

'It better be. I'm tired of this boring life. I need change!'
