Chapter 4

Gabriella was sitting on her lawn on the most boring day of her life well maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration but she was extremely bored. Her dad and Sharon had gone out for the day leaving her alone and bored. She was sitting on her front lawn watching cars go by. All of her friends were busy for the first time in a while leaving her to find something to do but when you weren't allowed to use your own car the options weren't that big. She had been out there for almost two hours when he left his house. He walked outside and looked around quickly not noticing her. He walked around the side of his house to go to the back and she got up following him. There was no need to be quiet since he couldn't hear her so she didn't pay attention to being stealthy. When they got into the backyard he stopped and turned around.

Make sure you never become a spy.

How did you know I was behind you?

I saw your shadow. She rolled her eyes at this but smiled at him anyway.

What are you doing?

Nothing. Why?

I am bored.

That's good for you but I have things to do so I will see you later.

You just said you are doing nothing.

What do you want?

Nothing.

Fine then I guess I will see you later. He eyed her after he signed this waiting for her to leave but she made no motion that she was planning to do so.

I think you are in the room that is right across from my mine. I can see into your window through mine.

Who's the stalker now? She couldn't help but grin at that not bothered as he might be at being called a stalker. She turned her back to him and slowly walked over to the hammock that was set up in between two huge trees. She sat down on it and he watched her curiously. She interested him. Most girls like her meaning girls that weren't deaf would have never gone this far. Most girls weren't exactly into dating the deaf guy. He knew that from experience which was why most of his girlfriends had been deaf.

Where you born deaf? He was taken back by the question. No one could ever say she was subtle.

No, I was in a car accident when I was seven and I suffered nerve damage that caused me to become deaf.

I see.

Sharon isn't your mother right? She came over to welcome us to the neighborhood a couple days ago. She seems….young.

Trust me she is not my mom. She is just another one of my dad's wives. Number five.

Sorry.

Don't be. She will be gone soon enough. They never last.

You never know maybe your dad really loves her.

My dad gets bored. He loves her now but trust me he will lose interest. He always does.

That's sad for you I mean. It must be hard getting attached to people and then they leave.

I don't get attached. I see them more as paintings on our wall and every now and then you need a new work of art.

Okay that is really sad.

Life is sad but I am not going to sit around and cry about it.

How inspirational.

Thank you I try.

What about your mom?

What about her? She is an artist who lives without a TV because she says it poisons the mind. She only has a cell phone because I need to call her. She is a free spirit or that's what she calls herself. My dad calls her crazy I prefer creatively inclined.

Interesting who would you say you are more like your dad or your mom?

Maybe a mix. I sketch and draw sometimes which I guess is from my mother always making me draw to express my feelings but at the same time I can be like my dad. What about you?

Neither. I am definitely not like my dad.

What's wrong with your dad?

Well he can be an ass sometimes. Let's just say having a kid like me wasn't exactly on his agenda of things to do. He looked away then while she studied him. They had surprised themselves revealing more then they had meant to. He looked back over at her and their eyes meet. A smile came to her face and he couldn't stop the grin that surfaced on his own face.

Well I don't think your half bad expect for that ugly face of yours. Other than that I could put up with you.

Please I am deaf not blind. I am far from ugly and you know it.

Whatever.

How did you get the DUI?

What do you mean how? It was simple I was driving home from a party and I got pulled over. The cop wasn't impressed with me I guess because I have a mug shot now.

That sucks.

Not really I have an impressive story now in case a conversation ever gets boring.

Yes because who doesn't want to tell everyone about the time they got pulled over and arrested.

You want to see my baby? His eyes widened at this but he didn't have time to sign back because she stood up and grabbed his hand leading him back to the front and across his lawn into hers. She took him through the side door into the garage and stopped in front of her car.

This is my baby. He felt a feeling of understanding and surprisingly relief go through him as he looked at the car.

Impressive.

I love this car. It is my life.

Too bad you can't drive it.

Who said that? Get in. He watched shocked as she climbed into the drive seat and for moment deliberated whether or not to do as she said. Part of him was saying this was crazy and the other part was saying it was crazy too but at the same time when was the last time he did anything crazy. So that was how he ended up getting into the passenger seat. Once he was in she reached in the glove department and got out a set of keys. She out them in the car and started it.

"How I have missed you," she whispered.

This is nuts. You realize how much trouble you could get into?

Calm down. One quick drive. The garage door was open now and she drove out of it. Soon they were driving down the street and he couldn't believe he had done this. When they got to a red light she looked over at him and grinned.

Take a chill pill and relax.

What part of suspended license don't you understand or how about jail time. Does that ring a bell?

If you are going to have such a heart attack we will go back. She turned back around and when they got safely back into the garage he breathed a sigh of relief.

See we didn't get caught.

We? I didn't do anything.

Being in a car with someone with a suspended license I am sure there is some law against that.

Yeah well I am not the one who should be worried about being caught. You are the one doing community service not me.

I see it as gift I mean that's just more time with you. She was grinning now and he was rolling his eyes.

I am going home now.

Why?

Because I have had enough of your craziness for one day.

Fine. See you later or tomorrow or whenever.

Bye Gabriella.

Bye Troy. He got out of the car and was walking out the garage door when she honked at him. He looked back to see her grinning and waved to her. He walked home the whole while trying to figure out how he had ended up even talking to her in the first place. He was also unsure how she got away with driving and not getting caught. It was like there was no one around to witness it. He had a feeling that she got away with a lot of things but that was another interesting thing about her and without a doubt she was definitely one of the most interesting people he had meet her so far but at the same time he knew she was trouble. Which if anything made her more interesting and likable which caused more trouble for him.

(A/N Hope you liked it. I thought it was interesting they are getting to know each other and still annoy each other at the same time the attraction is heating up. I might update again this weekend becuase I have alot of chapter ready to go. Please review!!)
