Adea
Gabe pulls me from the field and with a nod to Gamma Darci, the three of us are gone. I squeeze Gabe’s hand and smile at him as Leo follows from close behind. I’d been so focused on Briana that I hadn’t paid any attention to Gabe. Today shouldn’t be as stressful as I’ve made it. I had a plan in mind and I could think more about it later tonight.
For now, I would focus on loosening up and hanging out with my best friend. Leaning into him, as he had done earlier, an idea came to mind. I threw my weight against him and he stumbled as he tried to hold me.
“Damn, Ady! What are you trying to do? Squish me??” Gabe asked. The incredulous look on his face had me bursting out in laughter, I almost teared up.
“Help,” I gasp, “gravity is increasing on me.” I push the back of my hand against my forehead and close my eyes.
