Not only does she take 3 AP classes, but she also helps Ashtray with any homework he needs help with. Fez also loved how much talent Gaia had. She could box, dance, sing, and even draw. He loved hearing about her pageant/child modeling days. He didn't know how he got someone so amazing; She was always helping everyone; she never judged others for their issues. Even before they were a thing, she always looked out for him, especially Ashtray. Sometimes he felt like he didn't deserve someone like her, and being with him would only drag her down with his lifestyle, but Gaia always made those insecurities disappear. His heart swells whenever he sees her when they talk on the phone or even text. Fezco knew what was happening, and he was happy about it. He was falling in love./p

p style="margin: 0px 0px 8px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"" you guys are fucking disgusting!" Ashtray screws his face up in disgust. Gaia and Fez pulled away, rolling their eyes at the kid. /p

He loved hearing about her pageant/child modeling days. He didn't know how he got someone so amazing; She was always helping everyone; she never judged others for their issues. Even before they were a thing, she always looked out for him, especially Ashtray. Sometimes he felt like he didn't deserve someone like her, and being with him would only drag her down with his lifestyle, but Gaia always made those insecurities disappear. His heart swells whenever he sees her when they talk on the phone or even text. Fezco knew what was happening, and he was happy about it. He was falling in love./p
