Love Me As I Am novel Chapter 21

"What?" I turned and froze on my track with I saw it was Gabriel and his friends.

"Maybe we can go together," He said and I smiled.

"I'll be fine," I said and moved a little bit far from them.

"Waiting for a bus?" He asked.

What now!

"Yeah, me and the girls normally take the bus back home," I said.

"But since they aren't talking to me and Nelly is not going back now I am going alone," I added.

"Oh, is it because if the kiss stuff," he said and I nodded.

"Sorry about that but right now, no bus will be passing, so it's better we walk," He smirked.

"I'll wait," I said.

"Don't be stubborn, and I owe you twice for saving me in class and putting you in the trouble in the first place," He said.

"Do I have a choice?" I asked.

"No, you don't," He smiled.

"Okay, I'll go, but you owe me thrice, plus the kissing problem thing," I smiled and he nodded.

"Okay, I have to eat let's go already," The one with the dirty blonde hair said.

"You just love to eat, Ricky," The one with dark hair said.

I guess, I know one of their names.

"My bad, these are my friends Ricky and Max," Gabriel said and I smiled.

"Pleasure to meet you," They smiled at me.

They are nice!!

We started walking home, the two boys were at our fronts while me and Gabriel were behind them.

"Why do you call the orphanage home," He asked.

"Because it's my home," I said.

"It's quite different," He said.

"It's the only place I got, and where my family was but now they all act like jerks to me," I said.

"I am sorry," He said.

"It's still my home anyway, and I adapt quickly," I said.

"I would like to apologize for the kiss," He said.

"It's okay, I guess," I said, nervously.

Okay, why am I nervous all of a sudden.

"I just needed to get that off my chest," He said and I smiled.

"We better walk faster before those two leave us behind," He said looking at his friends.

"Hunger can make people do the craziest things," I said and we laughed.

"You know, you'll be a great lawyer one day," He said.

"What?" I asked.

"What you did in the class today, you acted like a lawyer," He chuckled.

"Well, I don't want to be a lawyer," I said.

"Oh, then what do you want to be?" He asked.

"I don't know," I said.

"Well, law subjects are great, except for history which is boring," He said, pushing his head back as he rolled his eyes.

"History isn't boring, it's educates you on what happened in the past," I said and he smiled.
