GABRIELLA'S POV:
"Gabriella are you OK?" Daniel asked me as soon as we entered the elevator.
We bumped into each other outside the Senior Building. He was coming from the field and I was coming outside of the building. He informed me that the eight graders were doing some kind of experiment on the field so no one was allowed to go there right now.
We decided to head to the cafeteria and have lunch together.
"Yeah I am." I answered as I evaded his eyes.
"Are you sure?" He asked again. "You're not yourself today."
"I'm fine Daniel. You don't have to worry about me." I gave him a smile.
***
We reached the cafeteria and the whole place was so rowdy with teens of different ages and gender.
After getting our food, we settled on a table where it was just the both of us. As we were eating, I broke the silence.
"So......what do you wanna tell me?" I said after dropping my slice of pizza back on my plate.
He looked nervous at first. "Uhh umm...it's not actually tell, it's more of ask. Ummmmm well.....w..we have known each other for a week now, actually this night will make it a week and during the times we spent together, I enjoyed every bit of it and I find you very very interesting and fun to hang around with. Uhhh ummmm I would uhhh like to uhhhhh..."
"Wait wait wait. Daniel you look soooo nervous, are you OK? You're sweating." I looked at his sweaty forehead.
"Yeah I am. I'm just really hot."
"Hot?? The Cafeteria is freezing with cold from the air conditioners."
"Really? I feel hot." He adjusted his tie away from his neck a bit.
"Ummm alright." Is all I say.
"As I was saying. I just wanna ask you......Will you go-" He was cut shut by someone.
"There you are. I have been looking all over for you." I heard a voice at my back say and I turned around and saw it was Scarlet.
"Scarlet?" I said to her.
"Gaby where have you been??" She looked at Daniel. "Oh hi Daniel, I am super-duper sorry but I have to borrow Gabriella it's just there's something super important that's happening and her attention is needed."
"Uhh um sure." Is all he said.
"Uhh Scarlet can't it wait, he wants to tell me something." I said to her.
"Gaby it can't wait, you need to come now to our table.." She said and dragged me up from my seat.
I heaved a sigh. "Alright fine. I'll see you later Daniel?" I said.
"Yahh sure." He spoke and gave me a smile, like usual.
Scarlet surprised me by dragging me all the way to the girls's table and sat me down opposite Kylie.
"Where were you?" Kylie asked as she sipped her strawberry and creme frappuccino.
"With Daniel Snow." Scarlet said in a manner that I didn't really understand. She sat down by the left side of me.
Andrea raised her eyebrow at the both of us.
"Damn I forgot my tray, let me just go back And-"
"Here's a strawberry cheesecake frappuccino. You're welcome." Scarlet placed the frappuccino in front of me.
"Now you don't have to go back to him." She said and smiled but I rolled my eyes.
"OK there is something fishy going on, Scar spill now." I looked at her seriously.
"Nothing is going on."
"You told me that I need to come here for something important so what is it?" I looked at her as I propped my elbows on the table.
"Did I? I uhh don't remember telling you that." She chuckled nervously.
"Scarlet. Don't tell me you just called me here for no good reason. Daniel wanted to tell me something important." I rested my forehead on my palms.
"Okay the reason I called you is because I uhhh have uhhhhh..." She said thinking about what she wants to say. "I uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ummmm someone broke Natasha's heart!"
"No they didn't not!" She said astonished as she showed off her valley girl accent.
"Scarlet?" I looked at her.
"How was the Garden? Was it beautiful?" She asked me.
Oh, is that why she dragged me?
"I didn't like it one bit and I don't think the Garden likes me back. Nature and I are not meant to be. It turns out that Daisy flowers like Grass."
"What??" Andrea's eyebrows furrowed.
"What does that mean?" Natasha asked.
"Mostly importantly; what are you talking about?" Peter came and sat between Kira and Natasha.
"I understand." Scarlet said and as her bubbly expression fell. "The daisy flower just wanted to apologise for what he did to the grass."
"Well the daisy flower does have a weird way of apologizing." I rolled my eyes.
"The daisy flower was only doing it for his rose because his rose told him to do that."
"I agree that the rose told him to do that but it definitely doesn't mean the daisy should go and start making out with the grass." I argued with her.
"But the daisy didn't mean to do anything with the grass he just-" I cut her off.
"Just what? You know, it's not only the Daisy the Rose is mad at. The Rose is also getting mad at the Lily flower. Rose is tired of Lily always supporting and defending Daisy. Lily is supposed to be on the side of Rose and not Daisy."
"Lily isn't on anyone's side. She's just saying that Daisy is trying to change for Rose. Believe me, Daisy wants to. Rose should just give Daisy time. Lily promises Rose that Daisy will change."
"Well Rose doesn't want to give Daisy time. Rose can never trust, nor forgive Daisy, ever in her life again. Daisy is a horrible and despicable flower."
"Awww why? Daisies are my favorite." Kira pouted.
"Let's leave that aside, what the hell are the both of you talking about?" Andrea asked us with confusion decorated on her face.
"Yo!" A large voice spoke from the other side of the cafeteria. "I want everyone to shut up because my friend wants to say something to someone so everyone, please....Shut up!" I strained my eyes and saw it was Drake on top of a table with the Eagles. By the side of him was......Andre??!!
Oh God what does he want to do?
I should hide. I really should hide!
I looked at everyone with me, they were all concentrating at Drake and Andre. I slowly bent down under the table and hid there.
Oh Santo Jesus please help me.
"Uhhhhhhhhhh....I wanna uhh..." I heard Andre stutter.
"What does my idiotic brother want to say now?" Andrea said rudely.
"I just wanna uhh say that, ummmm....." He just kept on stuttering over and over and over again until he stopped. "Ummmm uhhhh.......Never mind, sorry." He said.
Why doesn't he have the courage to say what he wants to say?
"What was that about?" Peter said.
Suddenly he spoke again. This time, more confident and braver.
"I actually wanna say something." He spoke. "I Andre Lombardi, is an idiot."
Immediately, Andrea started clapping. "Whoo hoooo!!!! Preach!!!!"
I had to hold my laughter.
"Back at you sis." I heard him say to Andrea. Andrea scoffed at him.
"I'm an idiot. A very big one. And because of that, I've made so many mistakes. I've done so many stupid and idiotic things to people and I hurt them. I knew I hurt them but I never took it seriously. I didn't mind hurting them. But now I know better. This apology isn't for only one person, it's for all the girls I hurt. For all the girls that I played or toiled with their emotions and feelings for my own selfish reasons. I'm sorry, I'm sorry to all of you. I'm sorry Annabelle, Anita, Ala, Amanda, Allison, Addison, Bella, Cameron, Ryan, Riley, Becca, Bailey, Miranda, Kate, Jade, Sapphire, Solange, Lupita, Lisa, Lucy, Lucia, Luciana, Ingrid, Violet, Diamond, Crystal, Genevieve, Jennifer, Karina, Caitlin, Vera, Isabelle, Isabella, Brooklyn, Brittany, Aliyah, Kira, Tanisha, Tare, Garnet, Topaz, Linda, Harriet, Henriette, Henrietta, Gem, Gema, Skylar, Skyler, Jordan, Amythest Amy, Amee, Amie, London West, London Yung, London Young, Theresa, Tessa, Mary, Marianne, Marie, Mariette, Marrietta, ........." He just kept on going and going and going.
I can't believe he slept with all of them.
"........And for the others that I forgot their names and the others that I never knew their names, I am truly sorry for everything I did to you all. And I wanna say sorry to my sister Andrea. I am so sorry sis, you have tolerated my stupidity for sixteen years and I am so fucking sorry sis. And I also wanna say sorry to Chloe for Saturday night, I am really really really sorry. Now all the girls that I have hurt, I want you to come to where I'm standing, which is the middle of the cafeteria and dump your drink on me."
The whole Cafeteria gasped in surprise.
"Don't be shy. I promise I won't hurt you. All the girls that I have hurt both intentionally and unintentionally, I want you to dump your drink on me. Today is Frappuccino day after all, let's have fun."
Is he serious right now????
"This applies to those both on the table and under the table."
My whole body froze.
Oh no.
"By the way where is Gabriella?" I heard Peter say.
"Yeah where is she?" Andrea asked.
"It's just like she disappeared." Natasha said.
"So whoever is under the table can come out and should not hide because I assure you that I won't hurt you so please come out."
My heart was pounding with fear.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!
"At the count of five, I want whoever is under a table to come out and let me see you or else.."
Else???????
"Five......."
Oh God!!!
"Four......."
"Three.........."
"Two..........."
"One.........."
"Gabriella come out from under the table."
That's it. I'm doomed.
