Gaby was seating quietly at her desk reading a book, when Chris approached her and told her to squeeze a little so they could seat together onher chair. She did as he requested and he made himself comfortable baseide her.
He observed her for a moment as she acted like he wasn't even there and kept on reading her book, she didn't like being associated with boys since she knew her secret would not be safe anymore.
But Chris was an exception since he was her childhood friend, eversince they became highschoolers she tried to avoid him, since they were both grown ups and her intersex organs were grown as well, so she couldn't get close to boys.
"What happened to us?" He politely asked her and shifted her attention from the book to him.
"Us?" She chuckled looking at him with a sarcastic look, she remembered when Chris didn't attend her birthday just to go on a date with a girl...during their 1st year of high school.
She didn't know why it hurted her so much when Chris chose someone else over her, they had a huge fight over that and she kept bringing that up everytime they talked.
Chris was confused by her response. "Is it about your birthday party again? I thought we are over that!"
She turned her face to her book as she murmured, "I hope that 'we and us' you are using doesn't involve me.."
Chris let out a deep sigh not knowing how to deal with this girl anymore, he leaned his head down on the book she was reading and faced her.. "Hey you are ruining my book!"
She said as she tried to push his head away, he smiled as he enjoyed resisting her push making her irritated.
"I wont move unless you promise me!" He smirked as he spoke.
Gaby shrugged as she asked, "promise you what?" She knew that face he was making had no good outcomes, so she should be sure first before giving in to his promises.
"That you will have dinner with me tonight!" He blurted out still with a smirk on his face.
Gaby taped his face after hearing that. "Are you out of your mind? My Mom will kill me!"
"I will ask her myself, you just need to come nothing more nothing less!" He looked at her with pleading eyes.
She glared at him as she said, "like I have a choice!"
Chris laughed at her as he recalled how Emeralda liked him like a son and trusted her daughter in his hands since they were childhood friends. Gaby had the tendency of pushing away people who tried to befriend her but Chris knew how to stick well with her that even when she tried to push him away he still found his way to get back their friendship.
That was why Emeralda liked the boy a lot for her Gaby, she believed that friends had their own roles in ones life and he played that role perfectly for her daughter. Unlike Izy who had many friends since she liked to be surrounded with people.
The two friends were lost in their argue and talk that they didn't notice how Izy was staring at them from her desk which was behind Emeralda's desk..she heard about their dinner and wondered why Chris held on to her sister too much even when she pushed him away several times.
Event hough she had many friends still she wondered would any of her friends stick by her even when she pushes them away, or they were with her in her best days.
