Gemma's P.O.V.
I am sitting in Starbucks with the boys laughing at them argue about the stupidest things. Britney came to join us earlier on her lunch break and I must say she is very interesting to talk to. The bell rings signalling that some has entered the shop. "Dude! What do you want to drink? Speak now or forever hold your thirst." I heard a familiar voice say stupidly. I look up and see James standing there with two other boys. I recognise the fairly tall boy with dark skin and dark brown eyes. I think his name is Adam, if I am not mistaken. I remember him from the party, people were chanting his name at the dartboard competition. The short boy with brown hair, light caramel dusted skin and hazel brown eyes turned around and looked straight into my eyes. I immediately looked away to my left and I suddenly saw these blue-green eyes staring at me, making my heart jump from fright. "Sorry, did you say something?" I asked Thomas quickly realising that I was lost from the conversation. " I asked if you were alright because you suddenly became quiet and you didn't answer Evan's question." Replied Thomas with his eyebrows furrowed. "Oh...yeah I'm alright. I just drifted off for a second. What was your question?" I asked Evan. " I asked if you know those guys that just walked in." he replied with a pointed look. "Um...yeah I only know the two tall guys. The boy with the black hair is James and the one next to him is Adam. It was James' party I was coming from when I met the two of you." I replied pointing at Thomas and Quinton. That's when I noticed that Quinton wasn't paying much attention around him. He was smiling while typing on his phone. Evan got up and went to the restroom as I nudged Thomas' arm. " What is up with Quinn and his phone? Does he have a girlfriend or what?" I whispered to him while looking at Quinton smiling. " Yes, he does have a girlfriend. She is currently in America taking part in some sort of competition for running. She should be back next week." He replied to me after nearly shoving me off the chair as payback for nudging him. I responded by whacking him in the arm with the menu. That caught Quinton's attention and I couldn't help but laugh at his facial expression. He was looking at us like we were crazy. " Well, welcome back to Earth. Have fun at Lovers moon?" asked Thomas sarcastically. "Haha, very funny. How original.... oh wait." replied Quinn with a smug grin. I just shook my head and smiled.
Suddenly I hear Story of My Life blasting through the café. My phone. I answer it quickly without looking at the caller ID. "Hello." "Hey Gem, where are you?" It's Jess. "I left you a message saying that I am meeting a few friends by Starbucks." I replied confused. I know that I left a message stating where I am. "What friends?!? You never told us about them!!" I heard Nikita shout in the background. "Well if you bothered to stay with me at all last night instead of DITCHING me to go get drunk. You would know which friends I am talking about." I snapped at her and ended the call not giving her time to respond. I sighed and looked up only to see Thomas, Evan, Britney, James, Adam and the other boy staring at me wide eyed. " Damn girl! What the fuck was that?" Adam asked me surprised. I didn't respond, afraid if I did, I would burst into tears. They know how I am when it comes to people ditching me. I would never have done that to them even if I had a horrible day and wanted to get drunk. After what happened with Sean, I stopped trusting people so much. I really thought that I could trust them, but I was wrong. I honestly don't know what to do now. "Sorry guys, but I have to go. I'll chat to you boys later." I told Evan, Thomas and Quinton. " You have my number, please message me later." I told Britney with a small smile. "Great party last night from the little time I spent there." I told James with a slight chuckle. I pay my part of the bill and left without saying another word.
I am walking down the pavement trying very hard not to cry. I see a bookshop across the road and me needing a distraction, I walk over to the very interesting bookshop. I enter the bookshop and the aroma of coffee and new books linger in the air. I started to walk around until I saw the non-fiction books and I instantly felt like a small child who just got a bag full of candy. I browse through all the books and I took a few that were on sale. I walk past the cooking aisle and I see this short girl standing there trying to get this book from a very high shelf. " Hey, would you like some help?" I asked softly with a smile. She looks at me and lets out a breath of relief. " Please, I have been struggling for quite a while and I just can't get it." I laughed and reached out to grab the book. " Thank you..." She replied waiting for my name. "Gemma." I replied hesitantly. " Nice to meet, Gemma. My name is Jade." I smiled at her. " Lovely to meet you, Jade." After that brief encounter we exchanged numbers and planned to meet for coffee soon. She paid for her books and left. I decided to roam around for a while. I stumbled into the comic book aisle and looked at a few comics. It looks very interesting. I took a few deciding to read some of them. I see a comic laying on the floor, I pick it up and read the title. The Origin of Spider-Man. I smiled thinking back to the conversation I had with Thomas, Quinton and Evan on the bus and at Starbucks. I took the comic and proceed to the cashier. I walked out the shop and decided to head back to the hotel. Confrontation awaits.
