Love Me As I Am novel Chapter 33

*Laura Pov Cont.*

We got into the gym and with the help of my lady power, I managed to survive.

"Where have you been Gabriel," Max asked.

"Let's go," Ricky said as he dragged him.

I turned to Cody.

"I need to go talk to my friends, see you later," I said as I removed his arm away from my shoulders and was about to walk away.

"I can come with you," He smiled.

The last thing I want is for him to follow me, I don't want go get Gabriel angry.

Wait a minute, I am talking like a wife that doesn't want to get her husband to get angry for being with another man.

What is wrong with me??

"C'mon please," He pleaded.

"I am sorry, I have to go," I said but before I could move he wrapped his hands on my waist.

"It's because of Gabriel right?" He asked but I didn't reply.

"I am just gonna go," I said awkwardly as I walked away to where the girls were standing.

"Took you long enough," Nelly sighed.

"Sorry, I was busy," I shrugged.

"With that cutie, Cody," Emma smiled and we rolled our eyes.

"Please, you better not have a crush on him, cause that will make past repeat itself," I warned.

"Are you talking about Tammy? No way, I am not like her and besides I don't have a crush on him, I just know a cutie when I see one," She smiled and I rolled my eyes.

"Okay can we all concentrate," a feminine voice echoed in the gym.

The woman who I suppose is our coach because of her uniform was coming closer to us and that caused a river of shivers and fear to flow down my spine.

"You four care to tell the class what you are up to?" She asked and I froze.

"Actually it's her first time here, so we were just filling her on the details," Nelly covered up pointing at me.

Why did they have to use me.

"Oh, you're new here, well, what is your name dear," She asked politely.

"It's Laura," I said a bit nervous.

Why wouldn't I?

Everyone in the gym was staring at me including Gabriel and my enemies and I should feel comfortable?

No way!

It's not like I don't like Gabriel stares, it's just that..., never mind again.

"You have a fit body why don't you join the female basketballers," She smiled and I sighed.

I know that Gabriel would probably be smiling but I am not.

What have they done!!

I secretly glared at the three ladies standing beside me and they gave me a 'sorry' look, but it still doesn't count.

I'll get back at them.
