Chapter 4

The next morning, I climbed out of bed after not sleeping a wink.

I had spent the night planning exactly what I would say to him.

I showered, and barely registered what I was dressing in, afterwards.

If he made one sarcastic comment today, I would blow. It was as simple as that.

Of course, I wouldn't blow until he had taken me school. Otherwise my carefully thought out plan would be useless. I couldn't have that...

Grinning, I went downstairs for breakfast.

''Morning.'' I greeted, them.

I checked my watch; 7:17am.

Yet there he sat, smack in the middle of my kitchen.

So not the plan.

''Sleep well?'' He asked, slyly.

Reaching past him, for the cereal, I whispered, ''Hmmm, very well.''

The look on his face was priceless. It took all of my will power not to laugh.

''Um-''

''Time to go!'' I leapt up, forgetting my breakfast, and dragging him to the door.

''Bye.'' I called back over my shoulder, to my foster mum.

''Have a nice day at school, honey.''

''Oh, don't worry I will...''

I winked at her, before shutting the door.


''So what are you doing after school?'' I asked, climbing off the bike.

He glanced at me, ''So, is the part where I break your heart by saying, I have a date after school?''

Using my well practiced acting skills, I feigned disappointment.

The covered it with a laugh. A -over-the-top-girly laugh.

''Huh. Don't worry Gabriel, your really not all that anyway. My heart will be just fine.''

I turned, and set off towards the doors.

''For now...'' I heard him mutter, before stalking past me.

Smirking, I waved at him as he looked back over his shoulder.

He ignored me.

Just like I knew he would...

Yup, today was going to be good.

Lunch time

I peeked, through doors to the cafeteria, trying to spot him.

There, surrounded by girls...perfect.

I strolled over, 'accidently' knocking in his back.

''Hey watch it!, 'He turned around, 'Oh, hey I didn't see you there.''

I raised my eyebrows at him, ''Well no, you wouldn't have. You had your back to me.''

I smiled, and left him sitting there staring after me.

Phase one: Complete.
