"Heeey Gabby~" Xander's voice said in Gabriela's ear. She turned to see Xander leaning against a locker like everything is normal. Well it was normal for her everything in school was normal. Expect Hope's behaviour today, he was acting strange and grumpy but she actually knew the reason: Hope dislikes Xander, he never told her but she figured it out. She still didn't know his reason though. She snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Xander, he's red eyes gleaming.
"Hey, what's up?" She asked calmly, he approached her.
"Guess what today is." Xander told her, she thought for a while.
"Your birthday?" She asked, Xander shook his head. "Monday?" She tried again.
"Well today is a Monday but nooo. Gabby you forgot???" Xander asked accusingly. "Today is our anniversary. Duh." He added. Gabriela faceplamed feeling stupid for forgetting about it.
"Oh right. I forgot sooo what are we doing then?" She asked Xander.
"Oh! We should go to out on a date!" Xander suggested, Gabriela liked the idea.
"Sure, after school." She said while grinning. Xander kissed her forehead before leaving. "See you after school!" He called out.
Gabriela was feeling happy and wanted to tell Hope but he had been ignoring her, when she called out to him he just walked away. She was actually getting ticked off by it, she decided to play his game and also didn't talk to him. They didn't talk until the last period where she went to her locker.
"Ummmm. Gabriela." Hope said, she looked at Hope who was standing right in front of her.
"Oh now you want to talk to me? After all the ignoring?" She asked annoyed.
"It's important." He replied. That even infuriated her more, so if it wasn't important he wouldn't talk to her. Fine.
"What is it?" She asked him
"Michael said we have a meeting today after school. That's all." He replied.
"I'm busy today, I can't come." She said before walking off, but before she could walk any further Hope grabbed her hand. His gaze serious.
"What do you mean by you're busy?" He asked, oh now he cares after ignoring her for basically the whole day.
"I have a date with Xander now let me go" she replied while trying to break free from his grasp.
"That's more important than what I just told you?! Are you even listening to yourself? You know what's happening currently and you're ditching it for a date? That's just bullshit." Hope yelled at her, finally she broke free from his grasp and glared at him.
"How is that bullshit?!" She screamed at him.
"Oh it's already bullshit that you ditch your friends to hang out with your boyfriend but now you're ditching your responsibilities too." He retorted. Gabriela clenched her fists
"I have responsibilities to him too!" She screamed angrily, some students stopped to look at the two best friends as they argued, some surprised others happy.
"Which responsibility is better huh? Responsibility to God or Responsibility to man?" He asked her, she was caught off guard by that question and it was an unfair one on top.
"Do you know what you are Hope? You're just a jealous bastard!" She screamed, Hope paused and looked at her.
"What do you mean by that?" He asked feeling his blood boil.
"Don't play coy, I know you're jealous of Xander because he's everything you'll never be." Gabriela snarled.
"Oh so we're playing the personal game huh?" Hope asked her angrily, more students came closer to hear the argument. Hope looked her straight in the eye.
"At least being jealous is better than being a slut." He replied, Gabriela eyed him with disdain suddenly she grabbed him by his collar. "What do you mean by that?" She demanded.
"Oh you don't get it? I know you slept with Xander. You'd do anything for him, you're just a perverted slut. You're worst than me." Hope snarled.
"Shut up! In fact, I don't want to see your stupid face again. This friendship is over!" She declared in her rage. Hope was stunned for a while but he got the idea: Between him and Xander, he's nothing. He broke free from her grip and started walking away.
"Have it your way!" He yelled at her as he walked off, she walked away in another direction.
"Hope where's Gabriela?" Angelina and him when he arrived. He threw his bag across the room and sat on the sofa.
"She's gone on a date with that piece of shit known as Xander." He grumbled as he laid down staring blankly into the ceiling. She's been his best friend since for ten whole years and some random guy walks in and now he's.... he's nothing to her.
"Hey Hope.... Hope, you're crying?!" Angelina exclaimed, Hope turned his face from Angelina, there's no way he's about to explain what happened.
"So why did Michael call the meeting?" Hope asked while choking back his tears.
"He said something about the word: Antichrist."
