Thanks for all the reviews they were very helpful. Here's the second chapter of the story. Enjoy! Oh and in the first chapter when it says Gabriella's pov it meant that its going to be Gabriella's pov throughout the whole story.
"Listen Gabby could we talk for a second?"
"Um sure…" I said, walking towards an empty table. Here comes the moment I've been dreading.
"You know…what happened wasn't my fault. Really…and if I hurt you I just want to say I'm sorry. I know that you weren't picking up your phone, I called you and left a few messages this weekend"
"um…yeah" I responded. Acting like I was pretending to be listening when, really, each word hit my heart like a block of ice. "Sorry, it died and I couldn't find my charger" I said with a fake half smile.
I really didn't want to talk to him about it, I don't think he could understand how hurt I really am .When I think about him and that cheerleader my mind shutters. I haven't even slept for the past three nights because every time I sleep, I think about it, and I just hate thinking about it, so I don't.
Flashback
It all came together, or I guess you could say fell apart, last Friday. School had started and I had just talked to Troy a little bit before class.
"Hi Gabby"
"Hey! I tried to call you last night but you didn't pick up…"
"oh…um…yeah…I was busy" When he said that I thought it was weird because usually troy tells me when he's going out with his friends or something.
"Busy? Oh, sounds exciting"
"yeah…"Why was Troy acting so weird? He kept looking around like he couldn't even look me in the eyes.
The bell rang.
"Oh I guess we'd better get to class" I said
"…yeah…I'll see you in homeroom"
and he just walked away. I kind of blew it off and walked to
homeroom. Class was already starting, where was Troy?
I wasn't the only one who noticed Troy's absence.
"Where is Mr. Bolten?" Mrs. Darbus asked in a very clear assertive voice.
No one answered. I guess no one knew.
"I asked if anyone knew where…." She started to repeat, but was interrupted when her coffee mug dropped on the ground and broke.
"OHHH NOO! This is dangerous. Can someone please get a broom before anyone gets hurt"everyone knew that her dropping her mug was really no big deal. I mean, especially since we were all wearing sneakers. Mrs. Darbus was the only one who was in danger of getting "cut" since she was wearing sandals.
"Oh um…I'll get it" I said after a few minutes, seeing that no one wanted to step up.I walked down the halls. It was weird, one second you're in the halls with a bunch of other people who are moving around. It makes life feel like it's going by so fast and like life is just rushed. But when you walk into an empty hall its like life has stopped, or is in slow motion. Nothing around you moves, nothing makes any noise.
I snapped out of my thoughts when I saw Supply Closet. I hoped it would be open or else I would have to go to the office ask for the keys, and get the broom. It would just be so much time to waste. Our Supply room was really big. There were all kinds of things in there like extra school supplies, extra books, Mops, brooms, sponges, and buckets, basically everything. But it was really spacey.
As I walked closer to the room I could see that the light was on so I had a little hope that maybe the janitor was inside and the door was unlocked. I started turning the knob.
DARN.
It WAS locked. I sighed, and kind of laughed. So I took the trip down to the office, got the keys, got back to the supply closet. I started opening the door, not knowing how horrible what was about to happen was going to be.
When I opened the door what I saw was unbearable.
Troy was with one of the school cheerleaders and they were kissing. All I could hear was my heart beating. I could feel my face burning on the inside. Troy turned his head and saw me standing there. He pushed the cheerleader off and said "Gabby…it's not what you think."
Was this really happening to me? It seems so unreal, all I could hear was "Gabby, it's not what you think" echoing in my head. What did I think? I wasn't even thinking. I wasn't even breathing.
I could feel the tears build up. I took a step back looking at the ground. Why was it so hard to breathe?
I turned and raced down the hall to the girl's bathroom and just fell apart. A million things were racing trough my head. How could I be so stupid? Why would Troy do this to me? Was I not pretty enough? Was I not fun, funny, or cool enough? Was I just, not good enough for him?
The bell rang, I snuck off to the
rest of my class's trough out the day but I couldn't even pay
attention because I was so hurt and depressed. I spent lunch in the
bathroom. That was probably one of the worst days of my life.
End of Flashback
"Gabby, I'm really sorry." Troy said.
I was looking around for Taylor, and suddenly heard my name being called from behind me.
"Gabby! Over here!" Taylor was waving at me
"um…Troy I'm really sorry, but I can't really talk right now, so maybe sometime later"
Troy looked away. He looked sad, which made me feel bad, but I shouldn't feel bad about what happened. What he did was wrong, and I shouldn't feel like I was the one to blame.
"Ok...I'll talk to you later" he said and then walked away.
I just stood there for a minute. I'll talk to him eventually, just, not right now. And I walked over and sat by Taylor.
"So, how'd that go?" Taylor asked.
"...it was completely horrible…"
Here's chapter two I hoped you liked it:)!
