Love Me As I Am novel Chapter 54

"You know that I hate seeing you cry," he wiped my tears with his thumb. "Katherine had an accident, she got angry because her boyfriend dumped her and she ended up hurting herself " I explained.

"We stayed in the hospital and weren't allowed to see her. I only came to school because of the project, I was devastated that's why I acted that way. I am sorry," I sobbed.

"I should be the one apologizing. I got jealous, thinking that you were with Luke while it was the opposite " he stated.

"You always get jealous " we shared a brief laugh. "You don't have to worry about Luke. He's getting married on Sunday, Annie's mom, the queen came yesterday so she went to choose her wedding gowns and left " I said.

"Wow! Things happen so fast," he exclaimed and I shrugged. "I'm sure that I'll attend so I want to invite you," I said and he smiled.

"I don't think Luke will like that," he said. "What? Luke will, as long as you're my boyfriend. He even knew you before we started dating and he liked you then, I think. And besides you are a friend of Anne," I shrugged and he nodded.

"Yeah, you are right" he smiled. "We should get going or I'm not going to eat lunch today," I whined as we walked to the cafeteria.

"Remember 100 feet," he said and I stared at him before rolling my eyes. Jealous!

We sighted our friends on our usually table and we approached them. "I told you that she would be with Gabriel, didn't I?" Nelly rolled her eyes.

"You've made up, that's good," Emma smiled as I digged into my food that Nelly passed to me.

The bell rang a few minutes later and we all rushed to the....Gym.....

Gabriel was on the look out for Cody as he held me closer. I only laughed at his actions. He's so... Possessive and it's cute.

The first person we saw was coach..... Is it bad that I forgot her name?

Well, it was the basketball coach. Am stuck wondering if its only basketball that we will learn. I quickly moved away from Gabriel and almost walked away.

Again 'almost'

"Laura!" She called and I sighed, turning to her slowly. "Have you thought about your decision?"

I hesitated before speaking. "I don't think that....I can do it" I stuttered. "What do you mean by that?" She asked angrily as she walked to me.

Oh no, I'm in trouble.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean-"

"You are sorry?" She stood in front of me. "I am really..." I tried to say.

"You are filthy orphan. I don't even know what made me think you would fit as a player. I could have listened to Patricia!" she hissed and I froze. That was scary.

"Coach you are..." Gabriel was trying to say. "Don't support her " she shrieked.

"What? I would never support her. She is just naive and callous like she said. I am only in this relationship with her because she's beautiful nothing else," Gabriel spat and I gasped.

"You should break up with her!" Nelly yelled and the girls supported her, I froze. These are my friends, he is my boyfriend.

"Now you see why we treat her the way we do," Rachel laughed and they all followed her to laugh at me.

Gabriel smirked and walked closer to me. He leaned closer and whispered, "We're done," and i froze, my mouth was opened like a fish who needed water, "Close your mouth," he used his finger to lift my jaw and just like that he was gone.

He walked over to Tammy and gave her a passionate kiss. "Be my girlfriend," he said. "I would love that," she smiled.
