I know...She's an amazing writer...I get my inspiration from writers like her. I loved the story. But also...it's so much different...well you'll find out how. Anyways...enough about that crap...here's chapter 2...
Chapter 2
I was not ready for this...I was looking forward to this summer...but now...well...just say it's not going to be the best in the world. I give Jen a glare. All she did was shrug. "I hate you!" I mouthed to her. She just smiled at me and shrugged.
"Okay...so dinner is going to be ready soon..." said Lisa.
"Okay...do you guys want to play basketball?" asked Grant.
"Ugh...no way! I suck at basketball...I have no handicoordination (sorry if I spelt that wrong)" said Jenny. This was true. I played some b-ball in High School...and I was good.
"Um...I'm going to back to my nap, that TROY...rudely interrupted..." I said coldly giving my worst glare ever.
"Okay...look Gabriella...I know I did some harsh stuff to you...but...-" Troy said. I interrupted.
"HARSH?? Those things were NOT harsh...they were-" Grant interrupted.
"Okay...Gabriella you can go back to your nap..." he said and covered my mouth with his hand. I licked it. He pulled away immediately.
"EEEEW!" he said grossed out.
Jen and I laughed at him, Troy just looked at Grant in a 'he's so stupid' look. "Gabriella...I'm sorry...okay?" Troy said apologetically.
"Sorry...that won't cover the...what was it...uh...-" Jen interrupted this time.
"It's been about 11 years Giggles..." she said laughing at me, "And you said you were smart." she said.
"Yeah, sure...I was in the Scholastic Decathlon, and when I was in 10th grade Jen, I was in 12th grade calculus...so anyways...where was I? Oh right...TROY! That won't cover the 11 years you picked on me, hurt me, and made fun of me!" I said madly.
"I know...and I'm sorry...I'm not the same guy I was 2 years ago..." Troy said looking at me with his blue eyes. It was like he was trying to read my mind. Is it just me, or can everyone read my mind?
"Yes, Gabi, your like an open book." Jen laughed.
"Wha-? How did you-?" I was in complete shock.
"Gabs, c'mon, I know you can read my mind too, but you just don't know it." said Jen laughing.
"Um...so...can you guys leave now?" Grant asked kindly. I just roll my eyes at Grant.
"Want to go play a game or something?" Jen asked wanting us to leave too...
"How's 'bout we-" I was interrupted by Jen pulling me into the living room.
"What the-?" I said when she let go of my arm.
"What was that all about?" she asked confused.
"What was what all about?" I asked even more confused.
"You and Troy...it's like he was never Troy...the Troy we knew..." Jen said.
"Oh no...he's still the Troy he was two years ago...he just wants to treat me differently because I look different." I said.
"And because of me? I don't get it..." Jen said. She put her right elbow in her left hand, and her right hand under her chin. That's what she always does when she thinks.
"DINNERS READY!" I heard.
"C'mon...before you hurt yourself." I said walking away.
"I'm not going to-HEY!" she said running after me. I laughed at her.
Jen and I sat one side of the table and the boys' sat on the other while Jack and Lisa were on the two ends. I sat on Lisa's side, right across Grant. "Smells delish mom!" said Grant smiling from ear to ear.
"You think everything smells 'delish'" said Jen.
"Yes, but that's just because I'm hungry!" said Grant proudly.
"Anyways...when are Andrew and Alison going to be here tomorrow?" asked Jen.
"And, are they bringing little Addy." Addy was their daughter.
"Yes...and they're going to be here around noon." said Lisa.
"They're coming home?" Grant said confused.
"Yes..." said Jen and I in unison.
"Oh, and did you know Alison's pregnant again?" Jack asked.
"Really??" I said excited.
"Do they know if it's going to be a boy or a girl?" Troy said with a mouthful and for the first time, joining the conversation.
"Yes...it's suppost to be a boy..." said Lisa.
"How long has she been pregnant?" asked Jen excited as I was.
"Um, about I don't 7 to 8 months..." Lisa said.
"AWESOME!" I said excited.
"So, we're going to be here for the baby?" asked Grant.
"Yep..."
"AWESOME!" I said again. Jen was the godmother of Addy, and I was so jealous of her, and Alison promised me that I could have the next one.
"Someone's excited..." I heard Troy mumble.
I kicked him under the table. "OW!" Troy yelled.
Lisa, Grant, Jennifer, and Jack looked at him as if he were crazy. Troy gave me a look. I gave him a smug smile. "Sorry, I, uh...accidentally uh..." he was trying to think of an excuse. I was trying to hold in my laughter, so I just smiled.
"I don't want to know dude..." Grant said. I couldn't help myself...I just looked at Troy and burst out laughing Jen looked at me with a, 'what did you do' kinda look. I just gave her a shrug.
"So, anyways...how long are Andrew and Alison going to be here?" Grant said changing the subject.
"The whole summer. Alison begged Andrew to come visit this summer so they could see Jen and Gabriella leave for summer!" said Lisa.
"This is going to be the bestest summer ever!" Jen squealed clapping her hands and jumping up and down in her chair.
"Well...almost." I said and I looked at Troy.
"C'mon, Gabs, give Troy a chance." said Grant looking at me with a kind look.
"No..." I said. I had a flashback to the time he pushed me out of the treehouse.
"C'mon Gabs! Let's go to the treehouse." said Jen.
"Do I have to?" I asked annoyed.
"Please?" she said looking at me with her big brown eyes.
"Fine..." I said loosing the argument.
"Yes!!" she said excited.
She and I left to go into the backyard. We looked up at the treehouse and noticed that Troy and Grant were already in the treehouse. "Okay...time to go back in." I said, I started to walk away. But then Jenny grabbed my arm.
"C'mon...there's enough room for the four of us." said Jen begging.
"No there's not." I knew she was right...but I didn't want to go up there with Troy.
"Please?" she begged.
"Fine!" I said.
"GRANT!" Jen screamed.
Grant looked out of the treehouse. Looking down at the two of us. "Can we come up?" Jen pleaded.
"Fine...but only because mom will kill me if I don't." Grant said. Normal Grant...just didn't want to get in trouble.
Troy glared out at me and I mirrored him. Jen went up first and I followed. We got up and just sat there. "Soo...?" Jen said getting bored.
"I told you this was a bad idea." I said.
"No...it wasn't." she said. I then feel a shove and before I knew it I was on the ground. "OWWW!" I screamed in pain. I clutched my ankle in pain. I started to cry. My ankle was in so much pain. I swore it was broken.
Jen came rushing down the ladder. "OWWW!" I screamed again. My ankle was in so much pain. "Are you okay?" Jen asked. Her brown eyes looked at me with that normal caring feeling.
"No!" I screamed. Grant came after, except he just jumped out. "Are you okay Gabs?" he asked.
"NO! Didn't you hear me??" I said madly. Troy just sat in the treehouse and said, "Aww...did the poor nerd fall out?" he cooed.
"SHUT UP!" said Jen madly. She gave him the coldest glare I've ever seen. Troy shut up quickly.
I heard the door open. My eyes were shut and I was curled up clutching my ankle. "I heard a thud and a scream? What happened?" asked Jack.
"Troy pushed Gabs out of the treehouse and her ankle hurts." Jen said quickly.
Jack kneeled down next to me. "Does this hurt?" asked Jack.
"YES!" I screamed. I was crying uncontrollably.
"I didn't touch it Gabi..." said Jack.
"It hurts!" I said.
Jack left and came back out with my mom, dad, Lisa, Andrew, and even Alison. "My poor baby! Are you hurt?" my mom said hugging me. All I did was cry.
Andrew came and picked me up bridal style. "UGH! I'm going to kill Troy!" said Alison madly. Troy heard it all. He jumped out of the treehouse and tried sneeking into the house.
"STOP RIGHT THERe YOUNG MAN!" said Jack.
I was still crying. Andrew was talking to me calmly, as normal. My dad was stroking my hair saying, "It's okay sweetheart...you'll be okay."
"IT HURTS!" I screamed. My face was as red as a tomato. I clutched Andrews neck tighter and tighter when I thought it hurt even more.
"C'mon Andrew, carry Gabi into the car...we have to go to the emergency room." said Jack.
Andrew carried me through the house and he laid me down in the back seat.
When we finally finished, the doctor had told us that I had broke my ankle. And Troy was grounded for about 4 months. I promised Jen that I would call her if anything hurt.
I then had the flashback to when he didn't help me with my roller skates.
"Are you ready??" Jen asked excited to try out out new roller skates.
"TOTALLY!" I said, trying to sound as excited as she was.
"Okay...let's go!"
she said. We both pushed off the garage door. Our parents told us to
stay in the coldecac (sorry if I spelt that wrong too.) Jen stopped
right at the end of the area. I kept going. I saw Troy and Grant
riding their skateboards. I forgot to stop, and realized the brakes
were at the front of the skate, and I didn't want to try and stop
because I was afraid of crashing with the brakes. "HELP!" I
screamed. Troy was closest to me.
"TROY! HELP ME!" I said
rolling down the hill. "Dude!" Grant said chasing after me. I was
going too fast and I finally stopped by falling and rolling down the
hill. Grant skated down the hill as fast to catch up to me. When I
finally stopped I was crying. "Are you okay?" asked Grant
kneeling down next to me.
"No..." I said softly.
"Here...I'll-" Jen was running down the hill. She had taken off her roller skates and ran down bare footed.
"Are you okay?" she said.
I had a scrape on both my legs and a few scrapes on my left arm. "Jen, go get the first aid kit!" said Grant. Jen ran back up the hill. Then I heard a door open. I just realized I was right outside of Chad's house too.
He looked Grant. Then at me. He just realized what had happened and ran towards me. "Gabi! Are you okay?" he said, "What happened?" Chad asked.
"She was learning to use her roller skates, and didn't stop, and asked Troy to stop her and he didn't and she kept going until she fell." Grant said.
"Aww! I'm so sorry Brie!" he said and he kissed my forehead.
"Thanks..." I said and I smiled at him. I had finally stopped crying,Chad had always knew how to make me stop crying.
Jen came back out with shoes this time and ran down the hill. She handed it to Grant. He put some antibiotic cream and band aids on me. "OW!" I said because it stung.
"It's okay Gabs." said Chad holding onto my hand. When he was finished Grant, Chad, and Jen helped me back up. Troy was waiting at the front of the house. "Sorry...I just wanted to see how fast you could go." said Troy and he just shrugged. When we got into the the house Troy was grounded for abour a month.
"Gabi?? You there? Gabi??" I heard Jen.
"Come back to earth Gabs!" said Grant. I shook my head.
"Gabs, you okay? You were like staring at nothing for like 10 minutes." said Jen.
"Yeah...sorry...just thinking." I said trying to come back to reality. I looked at Troy. He looked just as worried as those two.
"Okay...well...c'mon, let's go up into-" she stopped. She realized she didn't know where I was going to sleep.
"Um...wait one sec." said Jen. She ran into the kitchen. She came back. "Gabs, your going to sleep in...-" I stopped her. I knew what she was going to say.
"NO WAY!" I said.
"Please..." she begged.
"Can't I sleep in your room?" I asked.
"No...there's not enough room." she said softly.
"Damn it!" I said loudly. Troy and Grant looked at me.
This was going to be an interesting night...
Okay guys...that's it for this chapter.
