Chapter 10 - Reading Poems
I looked at Troy and ran downstairs and I saw Mr Bolton standing by the stairs. Troy came running after me and told me ''I'm sorry, Gabby, I need to do this, I can't get back on the basketball team. I need to go college, I need to get a basketball scholarship''. I didn't care that his Dad was standing there and I looked at Troy and said ''fine, it's just that basketball more important than me, I knew Chad will become between us''.
I walked over to the door and Troy stopped me and told me ''I love you Gabriella but I need to get back to my old life and so do you. You can go to college but I am not smart enough, I need a college scholarship''. I holded his face and hugged him and walked out the door. I sat on the grass and I cried.
I thought me and Troy will stay together this time but maybe we are too different. I saw Mr Bolton coming out the door and sat down next to me and he said ''so you're the girl that my son loves, you know he needs that scholarship''. I smiled at Mr Bolton and looked at him and said ''yes but I thought, it sounds crazy that will be able to stay together and prove that different clicks can get along''.
I wiped away my tears and Mr Bolton looked at me and said ''but you have something special of Troy's, his virginity''. I looked at Mr Bolton confused, how did he know. Mr Bolton told me ''he told me he had sex with a girl he loves, maybe you and Troy will get together again, you make him happy''.
I walked home and sat on the couch crying. I turned on the T.V and hugged a cushion. My Mom sat down next to me and said ''has Troy done something''. I hugged my Mom and looked at the T.V. I wanted to pour my heart out to her. I looked at my Mom and said ''Troy broke up with me, he needs to go college, he said he needs a scholarship.
Chad kicked him of the basketball team because of me. That's why different clicks shouldn't be friends, it only heads to hurt''. Oliver knocked on the door and I answered it. I sat down next to my Mom and she hugged me. Oliver sat down next to my Mom and asked me ''are you ok, Gabriella''. I smiled and nodded, I didn't want to tell him. I walked up to my bedroom and laid down on the bed.
Taylor knocked for me and my Mom lead her to my bedroom and she saw me crying. I ran over and hugged her and told her ''Troy broke up with me because of Chad, he kicked him off the basketball team''. Taylor hugged me and I cried. It was that Taylor was being supportive this time. Taylor told me ''are you ok, I am going to be there for you this time''.
I smiled and stood up and wiped away my tears and looked at the picture of Troy on my laptop, he was right, we needed to get back to our old life. We are not meant to be. Taylor and I walked downstairs and I saw my Mom and Oliver sitting on the couch hugging each other, at least she happy.
It was finally Monday; we only had a week to go to read our poems out. I walked into school and I saw Troy flirting with one of the cheerleaders, at least he was doing something he was meant to do, he wasn't meant to date a brainiac. I saw Troy looking at me uncomfortably; I knew he was upset about breaking up with me.
Chad saw Troy looking at me and he had a go at him. I didn't really think Chad will come between us. Caden walked over to me and he asked me ''are you ok, Gabs''. I smiled and nodded my head and I told him ''yeah, well no. Troy broke up with me but I guess I got what I deserve''. Caden hugged me and I hugged him back and told me ''Gabby, I want you to be happy, I still love you but I am happy now and I know you will be''.
One week went by and I carried on with school work. I walked to school and into English class; I saw Troy and sat down next to him. The English teacher looked at Troy and I and she told us ''you're the first to read your poem, Gabriella and Troy''.
I stood up and Troy looked at me and said ''we didn't write a poem''. I looked at Troy and smiled, I wanted to tell him I love him but I knew I couldn't. I looked at him and told him ''good thing your paired with a geek, I have written it already''.
