Love Me As I Am novel Chapter 20

I stood up and found my way to the guys and hurried them up.

"We didn't even eat, us coming here was in vain!" Max said as we walked out of the cafeteria ignoring Rachael's call.

That's right!

I haven't eaten lunch.

Well that's the least of my worries.

I gotta find Laura and explain everything to her.

"Sorry Gabriel," They said and I nodded.

Laura Pov

"Ok, why are you running away?" Nelly asked.

"Look I am not just in the mood for talks," I said.

"I am gonna keep bugging you till you tell me," She smiled.

"I got into a fight with my friends because of him, and now I'm gonna get into a bigger one with the whole girls in this school and the worst of all Rachael," I sighed.

"Oh, I get it," She said, "And I am jealous of you right now," She added.

"You don't need to be, we are just the same" I said and the bell rang and we walked to class.

*************

"So what are we gonna-"

I froze immediately I saw Gabriel and Tammy in the same class with the girls.

"We better get a seat," Nelly said as she dragged me to a seat.

"It's not close to Gabriel or Tammy" She said and I nodded.

I am feeling pretty uncomfortable with the way Gabriel, Tammy and everyone else is staring at me.

Especially Gabriel, everyone turned forward and started murmuring.

I wonder why?

"Look who's here," Nelly said and I turned forward to see Racheal.

"Is she following me or something?" I asked no one in particular.

"She's following Gabriel," She said and Racheal gave me deadly glares before heading to a seat close to Gabriel and his friends.

"That proves it," I muttered and bowed my head.

When will the teacher come in?

I am getting bored already.

I started hearing footsteps and I raised my head to see and guess what I saw guys.

It was Gabriel and he was coming my way, he came closer and sat on the desk close to me.

I didn't even know that it was empty..

I'm doomed.

I looked around and caught Rachael huffing and staring at me angrily, Tammy sending me glares and some girls gossiping.

"What are you doing here?" I asked without looking at him.

"I just need to get away from her and this is the only free chair," He said and I looked around and he was right, it was the only free chair except his.

"Oh," I said and bowed my head once more.

"Can we talk?" He whispered.

"Maybe later," I smiled.

"Let's start our lesson," I heard and looked up to see the teacher and a guy walking in.

He walked to Gabriel's former seat and sat there.

I just watched Rachael pout and I laughed inwardly.

We started lessons and I caught Gabriel staring at me several times

"Ok, what's up with you," I snapped.

"What you mean?" He said playing dumb.
