"You now" Gabriel said "You don't really have any reason to be nervous, I'm going to be there for you, and I promise I won't leave your side, unless you want me too! Besides, Rob, Anna and they others are going to be there for you, too"

We were on our way to school, and I was getting more and more jittery, the closer we got. I kept moving around in my seat like some idiot that just couldn't figure out how to sit still… which is probably exactly the case. Really; I was so nervous, and Gabriel knew that. That was why he kept our hands closed tight together, in the middle of our seats: to reassure me, and remind me that he was going to be there for me. And I knew that he was, but it just wasn't enough. Even the thought of my old classmates could make me shiver.

"I know you're going to be there, Gabriel, but it's just… you know… The last time I was here, everybody hated me, and I don't think that is going to change now. Not even with you by my side."

We were almost there, and my nerves were running wild. I just couldn't sit still, and my mind was screaming at me to turn around. I tried to voice this to Gabriel, but everytime I opened my mouth, nothing came out. Nothing but my hectic breath. Not a single word. And then, way too suddenly, we were there.

Finally I could sit still, well; actually, I was frozen in place. It all looked the same; nothing had changed. Not the bright red color of the building, not the old playground… nothing. It all looked the same.

Slowly, I got the ability to move back, and shaking, I opened the door. Outside Gabriel was waiting for me, giving me time to think, and adjust. With shaking legs I made my way over to him; don't ask me how. Probably by putting one foot before the other, but how I did that without tripping, is beyond my imagination. When I finally got over to Gabriel, he put one arm around me, tucking into me to his side, and, gratefully, I put my arms around his torso, hiding in the safe of his arms. We walked slowly towards the main entrance, Gabriel holding me up; I was sure that if he let go of me now, my knees would give after, and I would be lying on the ground, amusing all of my fellow students.

And then, all of sudden, a voice came; not a pleasant voice, not a sweet voice, no probably more the most annoying voice in the whole world; Marcy McKinnon's voice. Boy, I hated that girl! She was the girl who had started all rumors about me back then, she was the girl who had started calling me witch, and she was the girl who had made my school life a hell. She was the girl I hated the most in the entire world! And now she was calling on me.

"Kaitlyn? Kaitlyn Fairchild?" She asked "is that really you?" She was walking towards us, and I was getting very, very uncomfortable. I used the web, sending my thoughts to Gabriel. He instantly tensed, and tightened his hold around me, but just as he were about to reply, another mental voice came: "Don't worry, Kait, we're on our way" Rob's calming voice said in my head. But I didn't have time to answer him, because Marcy was standing right in front of us, waiting impatiently for an answer, too.

"Ohh… ehmm… Hello, Marcy, yes it's me, Kaitlyn" I said, once again nervous. She looked at me for, like, two seconds, before moving her gaze onto Gabriel.

"And who, I may ask, are you?" She asked, giving him her best wink, and swaying her hair in front of his face. Oh my God, she was flirting with my boyfriend!

But Gabriel was calm and collected as he answered.

"I'm, you may ask, am this lovely girls boyfriend" I felt my cheeks go hot as he said it, and by the time he finished, Marcy was standing in front of us, her pretty mouth turned into a '0'. She stood like that for two more seconds, before she turned on her heel, and stumped down the hallway.

I snickered and glanced up at Gabriel, but he was too busy staring daggers at Marcy's back, to acknowledge me. I had never seen her look so dumbstruck before. Never. And that was something!

We continued walking, and halfway down the hall, I saw the recognizable golden hair of Rob's. I could spot that hair even in the crowd of thousands of golden haired boys. And right beside him, tucked under his arm, too, was Anna.

I squealed and shouted her name, before running right into her arms, for once, not caring what everybody else thought. It took her a couple of seconds too acknowledge me, before giggling softly, and putting her arms around me.

"Hey, there" she said "somebody missed me?" She had absolutely no idea how much!

"Of course I have, you're my best friend!"

"Heey! You're hurting me! Haven't you been missing me?" Rob asked in a playful voice. I looked over at him, and saw that he wore a big smile on his face, making him dazzling me, even though I was not in love with him anymore.

"Of course I have, you're big idiot" I said, before swinging myself over in his arms. He hugged me tight, and gave me a kiss on the head, before handing me back over to Gabriel's waiting arms. He tucked me in under his arm again as we moved to our first class this year; American history.

After introducing ourselves to a, once again, dumbstruck class (was it that hard to believe that I was with Gabriel?) we sat down in the only two chairs left; fortunately, they were right beside each other. The class was boring, so I kept myself busy with drawing some different drawings; all boring.

But then, suddenly, my hand began to cramp, and I couldn't control it. It picked its own colors, and subscribed its own drawing. It took nearly ten minuets before the drawing was finished, and when it was, I looked down at it, and gasped…

Dum dum da dum! What do you think she subscribed? I have no idea myself, so if you have any suggestions, please tell me!

Oh, and is this good, or is it bad? Please tell me your thoughts and review! The more reviews I get, the sooner I update (that only helped if you want me to update, of course)
