Always On The Move

by Gabriella Somerfield

She was always on the move. Well not her but her mom. If her mom got a new job they'd move. At first it was great now Gabriela was sick of it. She couldn't plan, she couldn't date she couldn't do anything. She wanted to be able to throw caution to the wind. But she never could but hopefully one day she'd find a place she could. It was just a question of when?

Always On The Move

Chapter 7

He watched from down the hall as his friends bumped into Gabriella. Her books and papers fell to the floor and Amy the head cheerlead knocked her against the lockers as she tried to pick them, but Gabriella tried again, and Amy's hand come out to slap her. Then it was stopped, and everyone looked to see Troy's hand encasing Amy's wrist.

"Hoops," said Chad.

"This ends now," he said.

"But Troy," simpered Amy.

"No. This ends now or your all of the team," she said.

"Come on without us you have no team," chuckled Chad. "He's not serious."

"With you I have no team," shouted Troy. "The whole lot of you are on probation."

The whole team stared at him.

"Now this ends now. Leave Gabriella alone," he said.

The team and the cheerleaders walked off down the corridor, but all stayed in sight of the two.

"Are you ok?" Troy whispered.

Gabriella nodded and threw her arms around his neck and his hands came up to rest on her back.

"Thank you," she whispered.

"It's what I'm here for," he said. "I should have stepped in a lot sooner."

"You were scared," she said, "I don't blame you,"

"But what is your dad going to say about you putting the whole team on probation?" she asked.

"That he did the right thing," said a voice. They turned to see Coach Bolton. "You ok Miss Montez."
She nodded.

"I'm proud of you Troy," he said, while he clapped a hand on his son's shoulder and headed down the corridor.

"He's never said that before," said Troy, as he stared after his dad.

"I'm proud of you," she smiled. "This is this person you are behind close doors with me. I could see when you first appeared on my balcony."

He dipped his head and captured her lips with his. "No hiding."

"No running," she said. "I'm here till end of Senior Year. Mum decided to stop trying to farther her career at the moment and stay in one place to settle my education."

"Really?" he asked.

She nodded and squealed when he swung her round in a circle and everyone in the corridor watched but someone had heard what Gabriella and it flittered though the school as did what was said between the couple next.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" asked Troy.

"Yes," smiled Gabriella.

It was amazing to accept his request because she knew she wasn't going to be in another state in a few weeks. To plan ahead. The teenage gypsy was finally home and settled.
