Chapter Two: East High
We walked down our road, it was really quiet, something that felt weird to me, from the loud crowds of New York to the…calm deserted streets of Albuquerque, you'd find it different too!
Troy pointed out all his friends' houses down our road, quite a few of them!
"Oh, Chad, Chad Danforth lives there; I've known him since…forever!"
I smiled, just like me and Nessa! I voiced my thoughts, "Just like me and my friend, Vanessa, back in New York!"
"Cool." He smiled down at me. I'd never noticed how short I was, compared to Nessa, I was average height! Compared to Troy, I was...still average height, for a fifteen year old girl! 5 ft 3, would you consider me short?
We turned out of our street (more like boulevard!) and got to the main road and an intersection. Troy went right, so I followed him; it was really busy and crowded, so he took my hand, sending a shiver up my arm, saying, "We might get separated, and we wouldn't want that, with you new to the area, right?" I nodded, loving every minute of this!
We were still pushing our way through crowds, when he bumped into some dude with…huge hair. All I could say, It was big, curly, and probably fluffy! "Hey man! What're you doing out here?!" he said to Troy, and then he noticed me, and Troy holding my hand, "Oh! You have a girl, wow, out of all people; it was you to get a girl this summer!" I smiled; Troy looked a bit confused, then understood his friends misunderstanding and replied, "No, Chad-" So this was Chad, "-she's not my girlfriend." He said this smiling slightly, as if to say 'Not-yet-but-you-never-know' "She moved in next to me this morning with her mom, and I met her in her back yard, we talked and, I met her mom, then I offered to show her around town, so yeah, here we are!" Chad smirked, knowingly, "Aren't you gonna introduce us to each other?"
"Yeah sure!" I smiled again, Troy moved out of our way, and introduced us, "Chad, Gabi, Gabriella Montez, Gabi, Chad, Chad Danforth."
"Hi!" I said, friendlily;
"Hi!" he replied, "So, where did you move here from?"
"Oh, New York, Albany, New York, so I take that you, like Troy have lived here all your life?" He smiled, "Yeah, I have. So, how come you met Troy before me?" I laughed, "I moved in next to him, not you, sorry!" I said, giggling. "Yeah, Chad; that means I saw her first." I smirked at Troy.
"C'mon, let's show Gabi the rest of Albuquerque!" he directed at Chad,
"Sure!" he replied. I rolled my eyes and said, "Let's go, now!"
The two boys stared at me for a split second, and then situated themselves on either side of me and marched me around, I laughed, "I have two big, strong bodyguards next to me; no-one is even allowed to look at me unless they get their permission!" I said to nobody in particular…
Troy and Chad led me around the whole city! Showing me stuff they'd think that I'd find useful, like the malls, restaurants, parks, and other places; telling me pages of information on each place, for example, 'When you go there on Monday's from 3 pm to 9 pm, then you get discounts on their burgers…" and other random stuff I really needed to know!
My feet were starting to hurt, so I moaned, "My feet hurt!"
They stopped, Troy looked at me and smiled, "Do you want me to carry you?" I thought he was kidding, "Ha ha, very funny." Then he put a serious expression on his face and said, "No, seriously, do you want me to carry you?" I smiled and replied, "Yes, Please!"
He lifted me lightly, off the ground, and held me close in his arms. I felt relaxed; I could stay like this forever…
He carried me around the place and spoke in my ear, still describing the things around us.
"Let's get to school, we could show her around the grounds!"
Troy raised his eyes at Chad, "Sure, you wanna Gabi?"
I giggled, "I don't mind! It'll help for school at the end of the month, anyway!"
We walked; well, they walked, I was carried, to East High.
It was pretty big, bigger than what I'd imagined, but it wasn't complicated huge; it was easy-to-remember-the-place huge, something that was very useful for me!
"And this is the Library, one of the most dangerous places in the school."
I put a puzzled look on my face, "Dangerous?" Troy and Chad smirked at each other, then Troy replied, "One reason: Ms. Falstaff, the librarian."
The puzzled look remained on my face, "And why is she dangerous?"
"She gives you a weeks worth of detentions if she hears you speak."
The puzzled look faded off and was replaced by an 'Oh-right-better-not-get-on-the-wrong-side-of-her' look; I smiled, "Oh, so…am I meant to be afraid…?" Troy and Chad looked at each other again and Chad replied, "Yeah!" as if it were the most obvious thing ever!
"Oh, right; newsflash: I'm not!" Troy grinned and said, "She's stubborn, Chad."
"Great." He grunted back.
"C'mon, Gabi, we'll leave Chad here, let me show you my secret hide-out!"
"Ooooooh!" I replied, excited.
"What about me?" Chad sulked, I giggled and looked at Troy, waiting for an answer; "You can look up things on the net; like you said you were gonna do last week!" He smiled, "Yeah, I will, go wherever it is you were gonna go."
I smiled as Troy grabbed my hand and led me down the hallway; up a flight of stairs, down another hallway, up another flight of stairs…it carried on until we reached the roof…it had plants everywhere, all round the place and a little bench to one side. The sun was bright overhead, and the plants all around us were bright and colourful… "Do you like it?"
I smiled, "I love it! It's so peaceful and relaxing here!"
"Yeah, it is." I looked down at me, staring into my chocolate brown eyes…I gazed back into his cerulean blue eyes…we were in a trance…looking into each others eyes...I blinked and we broke away, smiling slightly, I looked back up at him, he had the biggest grin on his face, staring out at the clouds, I rolled my eyes and pushed him onto the bench, he sat down responsively, not taking his eyes off of the sky, nor taking the grin off his face! I slowly sat down next to him and shouted in his ear, "What are you doing?" That got his attention!
"What?!" he exclaimed, surprised; "Nothing, you were just staring at the sky, and it was bugging me, so I got your attention by shouting in your ear!" I replied, grinning. He looked at me, putting a 'That-is-so-not-funny' face on.
I giggled again and stuck my tongue out at him, he raised his eyebrows and said, "You know, Gabi; I'm a pro in tickling." He was threatening me; obviously, I just came back with a short and simple reply, "And…?"
He rolled his eyes and said, "You're meant to be scared and worried when I threaten you!" I giggled, "I know!"
"Well, then I'm just going to tickle you, unless you have any way of forgiving me, any last words?" I grinned, "Ya right! But I could have a way out? Right?"
"If you give me a way to forgive you…"
"Okay…ummm…a hug?" I said reluctantly, he looked at me as if I were stupid; "That's not exactly great, but a hug would be okay…I guess…"
"Great!" I exclaimed, anything to get out of a tickling contest!
I gave him a big, warm bear hug, something he really needed, to get me off of his nerves! I smiled as we pulled away, "Better?" He grinned back at me, "Much, much better!" I grinned back at him, "Good!"
We sat there for a while, just looking at each other…
Until Troy looked down at his watch and read out the time, "6:30pm…Do you wanna go home?" I nodded, "Mom would be expecting me, us; home right now." We ran down the stairs, all those stairs, down all those hallways, we got back to the library where Chad was waiting, "Dude! You guys took long!" I bit my bottom lip and Troy mumbled a sorry as we rushed out of school and jogged back to our street.
Troy and I said a quick bye to Chad and slowly walked home in each others arms beneath the darkening sky.
