Chapter 7: New Feelings

Recap:

"That's a picture my daddy put it up. That's him, and a girl named…Ga…Gab…" he said struggling with the name.

I looked closer. I knew who the girl was.

"Gabriella," I said.

End of Recap.

((Gabriella's POV))

I couldn't believe it! Troy had a picture of us hanging in his house! Did Amanda know? Was that the reason she divorced him?? Am I responsible???

"Yeah! That's it!" Alex said. "My daddy put it up after my mommy left," he said.

Yay! So I wasn't responsible!

"You did a very good job! Do you mind if I keep this until after lunch?" I asked.

He nodded and walked back to Troy.

Troy looked at me. He looked really worried, like a huge secret had been told.

I looked up at the clocked, which said 11:59. YES! Lunch time!

I walked up to the front of the classes.

"Okay class, its lunch time. How many of you brought lunch from home?" she asked.

Every kid raised their hand. I giggled.

"Well then, I guess its time to go to the lunch room," I said.

((Troy's POV))

When I saw Alex starting to draw our living room, I never thought he would remember I had a picture of Gabriella on our mantel. And for the record, our television is NOT that huge.

He was working hard, and I was watching Gabriella. She looked like she was doing her best to make every child feel special about their drawing. Every time a kid came up, she would say something, and they would back to their desk smiling hugely.

"I'm done Daddy!" he exclaimed.

I looked at it. Sure enough, he remembered the picture perfectly. I was shocked to the say the least.

"Alex, don't you think you should-" but I was cut off by Alex.

"I'm gonna go show Miss M!" he said excitedly.

"Alex!" I exclaimed.

But he didn't listen, he walked over to Gabi and he showed her the drawing. After about five minutes, her jaw dropped and she said something to Alex, and set the drawing on her desk.

She looked over at me, and I could tell she knew. I had some serious explaining to do.

((Gabriella's POV))

Alexia, my teacher's aid took the kids down to the cafeteria, and only one girl forgot her lunch! Luckily, her mom was here, so she was able to help.

I sat down at my desk. I picked up the picture and looked at it closely. There was no doubt. That was me.

"Hey Gabi!" a chipper voice said from the door.

I looked up and smiled, "Hey Tay," I said.

She walked over to my desk and saw the picture.

"Awww! Who drew this?" she asked.

"Alexander," I said.

"Th-that looks like you!" she exclaimed pointing to the picture frame.

"Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner," I said.

"This is awesome!" she exclaimed excitedly.

I looked up. "How is this possible in any way?" I asked.

"Because! That means that you guys are meant to be together!" she said.

"Taylor, I told you. I don't want to get back together with him," I said.

"Why?" she asked.

Wow. Stop and Freeze. This was a new question. Yeah, why Gabi? Why?

"I don't know," I admitted.

"See? Now, you need to realize your feelings," she said. "Before its too late."

She walked out of the room, and I went back to studying the picture.

((Taylor's POV))

Oh. My. Gosh. Why can't she just admit it? If I had never admitted that basketball players weren't lunkhead basketball men, then Chad and I would have never gotten together! She is so busy trying not to like him; it is just making it so obvious that she does like Troy. I need to get her to admit that she likes him before he moves on! But how?

((Gabriella's POV))

Why. Only three letters. So how can that small word dramatically change my thoughts? How can it make my whole world turn upside down more than it already is? First its upside down, now its more upside down! I didn't think it was possible!! I need to think…no. Thinking is what got me into this. Thinking is what made me miserable in the first place! Thinking is the reason that I broke up with Troy…or not thinking is the reason I broke up with Troy. Or…I AM SO CONFUSED!!!

((Troy's POV))

When we got back into the classroom, Gabi looked near tears. I wanted to help her so badly. I wanted to hold her and tell her that everything would be fine. But I couldn't, because as much as I didn't want to admit it, I was the reason that she was near tears. I was the person that most likely turned her whole world upside down. And as much as I wanted to go up to her and talk to her, I knew that I couldn't.

"How was everyone's lunch?" Gabriella asked coming up to the front of the classroom.

"Good," the whole class chorused.

I smiled, it was amazing at how well she could bury her feelings so far down that no one would know that she was upset. Maybe she didn't even believe that she was upset.

((Gabriella's POV))

The rest of the day seemed to fly by. Yeah, right. It crawled slower than a snail running a 10 kilometer race. Finally, the bell rang at 3 PM and everyone filed out. Everyone that is, except Troy and Alex. Well, actually, Alex ran out to the playground and Troy stayed.

I walked to my desk and sat down at the computer, doing my best to ignore Troy's eyes looking at me.

After about five minutes, Troy walked over.

"I'm sorry," he said.

I looked up sharply.

"What?" I asked.

"I'm sorry that Alex drew that picture. I never expected him to remember," he said nervously.

"The NBA superstar is…nervous?" I asked.

"No, I'm not nervous, I'm just…concerned," he said.

I chuckled. "Just like old times," I said.

"There's that smile," he said touching my chin.

The moment he touched my chin, I couldn't explain it. A warm glow flew up my spine, making me feel like the moon, when it is the brightest thing in the sky. Lame, I know, but it is true.

I realized what was going on.

"Um…I better go," I said.

Troy took his hand away. "Yeah, me too. I guess I'll see you soon," he said.

I nodded and gathered my stuff.

Troy sighed and walked out the door.

The moment he was out of my sight, I started to cry. Stupid isn't it? One minute I'm on cloud nine, and the next I am crying my eyes out. I knew what was happening. I was feeling new feelings.

I walked out of the classroom, tears still rolling down my face, and down to my car. What I didn't know, was that Taylor had seen the whole thing.

I thought you were my fairytale…

Okay! Please R&R!!!Thanks!!
