Sam
"Last week was horribly bad!" I muttered.
So true, the last week were i attended an event with my dad in New York but instead end being saved by Gabriel. I can't believe why someone would try to kill me? After that night incident dad has tighten the security around me. I travel in bulletproof cars now to everywhere I go.
My thoughts ended when the driver told me that we have reached the school. I got out and bunch of people followed me until I was inside the school. My dad's most trusted man always stayed beside me in the school for protection. Rest were scattered around the area outside the school.
I walked towards the classroom. Nowadays I am early to avoid people's attention on me due to the bunch of security around me. It's better to be early before their sight instead of answering the questions. I stepped into the class. As usual the class was empty but today there was someone earlier than me. He sat on his seat, headphones up, headback leaning against the chair and a book to cover the face. And i knew who he was.. Gabriel!
Why he is so early today? He never shows up early! Am I still sleepy or have i stepped into a multiverse where he is opposite of what he is now! I went towards him and poked him with my finger but didn't even flinch. I shook him a little.
"What?" He shouted. Why he sounds irritated this early morning. Did he forgot to have breakfast? Where's his funky mode gone?
"Early? Are you okay?" I asked while raising my eyebrows.
"Nothing, just fine" he answered unbothered by my question.
"Are you okay? Did something happened?" I asked with a concern.
" I am fine! Can't I have my own time alone? Can't I be early once in my life to school. Stop bothering Samantha!" He said firmly yet in a irritated tone.
I pouted and went back to my seat to avoid him yelling more because of my questions.
Why he seems irritated so much? There's surely something behind! Is it about his parents? They are hopeless! But why isn't he sharing to me? He always does! Something is different today.
I sat beside his chair and removed my books and started reviewing my lessons. Soon the class was filled with the familiar people, noise and chaos arising. Mam entered and everyone went silent back on their seats.
I couldn't help but keeping glancing Gabriel who is twirling his pencil between his fingers and is gritting his teeth in frustration. There's something odd about him today! How would I ask him? He will again shoo me off, should I write him? It's better, it won't even disturb the class and maybe I could get a reply from him.
I instantly tore a paper from my book, took my pen in my hand, the lesson being taught was no longer my attention. All I was desperate to know what could be the reason he is being grumpy today!
I wrote: ' Hey Mr, are you okay? Still there in this world? Lost in where? Would I know?'. I folded the paper neatly and placed it on his desk. He didn't noticed it but after few minutes his eyes found my eyes and I signalled him the paper kept oh his desk. His gaze landed on the paper and he picked it up, opened it and read. He folded the paper again and put it on the desk. No reply! He acted like nothing happened, unbothered! He is totally odd now!
I tore a paper and write again: 'why ignoring? Anything you can share through, I am all ears! If you ignore this one away I will surely stop talking to you '. I folded it and kept it on his desk. He now instantly got the paper. He picked it up and read. His was so frustrated that his eyebrows furrowed.
He tore a page from his notebook and write something and folded it neatly and kept on my desk.
Finally a reply after long!
'Stop the act you cloud girl! Go talk to your clouds! I am busy' I read. Ohh! Busy huh? Fine! I won't bother.
'Busy huh? Since when? Don't you dare judge my clouds and poems indirectly. Atleast they are not like you grumpy!' I wrote.
He read and chuckled in return.
He put it on the desk and did nothing, after few minutes I saw a folded paper on desk lying. I picked it up.
'You and your metaphors cannot be judged mam! But I am more better than clouds you talk!'
I wrote:' Thanks for your appreciation, but i didn't work! You are a bad communicator! Talking about my clouds so they reside in my heart'.
After few minutes I got a reply saying.
' Heart? Careful they might block your arteries! But why not me? Where do I belong to you?'.
I wrote: Huh? Not. Funny. You belong to the Amazon to be honest, langoors you know!'
He instantly grabbed it and read and a laugh came out vanishing every negativity he had earlier on his face. But-
" Gabriel and Sam out! What are you guys even doing? Passing love letters to each other? Go stand out!" Mam shouted.
We both stood up and went outside and stood beside the door.
When we both were beside each other we can't help but laugh widely at each other.
"You always make my day!" He said smiling widely.
"Hmm, my daily job!" I said while swaying my hairs back.
"I am sorry! I was upset about my parents again. Today I came early to avoid interaction between them , to avoid every single taunt from them reciting how much they care for me. I felt like escaping them, to run far away, exhausted!." He said.
"Shh ..... It's fine. You don't need to stress about it. You are not escaping, you were finding a way to fight back, you were healing, you were finding yourself in this and it's totally normal!" I said assuring him.
" Why you always like Sam? Calm, stabled, wise and thoughtful. How can you hear things which are unsaid?" he said and brushes his thumb across my cheeks which are now flushing with crimson pink due to his admiration.
"It's... Just..." I stuttered.
"Always my favourite lady!" He said with a wink.
Why does he seems so attractive suddenly! Why he seems so beautiful suddenly to me, something more than just a friend. Why does his words affect me more? Am i blushing, hell yes!! Am I being affected to him!
He is my favourite and ever be, just like I love him to be. My best friend, laughing , joking and funky and different, extra ordinary from every one. I would never have someone else as Gabriel.
Maybe i have fallen for him! Just a little! But increasing gradually!
Here, he stood choosing choices and making differences among the people around me, around him!
