Gabe and Jo.

Chapter 3

By: Marleigh Opal

Teddy's POV

"MOMMMM!" I heard Gabe yell right when I was passing his room.

I opened the door to see him putting a thermometer on a light bulb then putting it in his mouth.

"Mom's next door. What do you need?" I asked pretending to just get there.

"I'm sick, I don't think I can go to school today." He said taking the thermometer out of his mouth and showing it to me.

"one hundred and fourteen degrees…Just tell Jo you like her and stop going through all this trouble." I said.

"NO! Jo, will hold it against me the rest of my life.

"Chill, no she won't." I said trying to calm him down.

He looked at me like I was stupid.

"Do you even know Jo?" He asked still giving me that strange look.

"No... But I'm sure she wont freak out or hold it against you." I said.

"Oh, she will." He said finally looking away.

"Well, your not missing school, just hope that you win. If not then just show her the video. Its not that big of a deal." I said standing up from the chair I forgot I was sitting in.

Gabe's pov

Maybe Teddy was right, I should just tell Jo instead of going through all this trouble.

There was no way I could win against Jo.

I got up, got dressed and went to school like any other day.

"Hi, Gabe.." Jo said coming from behind me.

God she needs to stop doing that.

"H-hey" I stuttered. And I really need to stop doing that.

"Nervous your going to lose?" She asked.

"Yes." I said honestly I really didn't feel like lying.

"Come on.. It couldn't have been that bad! Was it about Kit?" She asked.

"You really want to know?" I asked looking her straight in the eye.

She looked down worried but nodded.

"Yes. It was about Kit and Me saying we liked each other and junk. Oh and we kissed." I said basically telling her my dream but she thinks it was of Kit.

Well me and Jo didn't kiss in my dream but I wish we had.

GABE WHAT ARE YOU SAYING! Shut up!

I can't believe i just thought that.

"Why couldn't you tell me that?" She asked. I couldn't help but notice her eyes were watering. How'd I make her cry this time?

"I don't know." I lied again.

"Okay, I still want to watch the video." She said.

"What! WHY?" I asked suddenly alert.

"Because your lying." She said looking me straight in the eyes.

"Uhhh, n-no I'm not." I lied. Ugh of all times to suck at lying.

"You hesitated. Since my supposed best friend wont tell me then I will watch the video." She said. I could tell she was hoping I would tell her.

"I already told you." I said.

"Then if i watch the video I will hear the same thing you said to me?" She asked.

"Yep." I said with no hesitation. (Thank goose)

"Okay. See you later, Gabey." She said smiling and skipping off to class. What's up with her?

Jo's pov.

I needed to talk Teddy into giving me that tape.

So I cut class and went to Teddy's school.

Teddy's pov

I was at my lockers putting my books away when i heard a young girl voice behind me.

She'd said: "Teddy, I need to talk to you." it was Jo.

"Sure, what's up? And why are you here?" I asked.

"I cut class, and I want to see the tape, of Gabe." She said.

"Did Gabe say you could watch it?" I asked confused.

"Well he told me what he supposedly said in that video but I could tell he was lying." She said getting pushed by some random person.

"Why do you want to know so bad?" I asked pulled out my phone and pretended to text while I clicked the 'record video' button.

"Well...can you keep a secret?" Jo asked.

"Yea of course!" I replied. I don't really know what I was going to do with the video but I felt the need to record this.

"I can't believe of all people I'm telling you, well. I really really like Gabe, and I know he doesn't like me back but I want to know who the girl is. You know the girl he dreamt about, also he's been acting crazy, and I just have to know." She said turning beat red.

I'm so glad, I recorded that.

"I can't show you the video, Right now. But I promise I'll talk to Gabe.. Not about you liking him but just about getting him to show you the video." I said. Plan was forming in my head.

"Thanks, Teddy." She said smiling slightly.

"No, problem. Now go back to school!" I said.

She waved and ran out of the door.
