Love Or Friend?

Jealous

"Gaby! Gaby! Wait!" Alvin's voice shouted Gaby's name as she walked out of the party area.

"What's up, Vin! Don't you see I don't want to be disturbed?!" Gaby's voice is upset, still thinking about Livian's attention to Alexa.

"Well, sorry. I just wanted to offer you a ride back to your house."

"no need. I can go home by myself!" Gaby said as she walked away from Alvin.

When she got home, Gaby walked straight to her room stomping her feet, even as Gaby ignored Delancy greeting her. So did Andy say hello to his sister, "What's wrong, girl? Why do you look upset?" Andy blocks Gaby from going to his room.

"It's none of your business! Out of my way! " Gaby brushed one of Andy's arms outstretched to the side so he could head to his room.

Gaby threw herself on the bed without changing her dress. Just as he was about to play his phone, he got a video call from Alexa.

"Gaby! Why did you go home without saying goodbye first?!" Alexa sniff from across the phone. He looks pissed.

Gaby just put on a forced smile, "I had a sudden headache, so I didn't have time to say goodbye. Sorry to worry you."

"Next time tell me if you need anything, haven't I told you many times?"

"Yes, yeah, next time I'll listen. I'll take a break now, I'll call you later." Without waiting for Alexa to answer, Gaby turns off the phone unilaterally.

This morning Gaby was not as excited as ever. He even spent five minutes longer getting ready to go to school.

With a plain white shirt, a black skirt under her knees, dark blue sneakers and her ponytail blue hair, Gaby walked up to the dinner table for breakfast with her mom and sister.

"Again, Ma! Morning, Brother!" Gaby greets both of them, but only Andy says.

"This is your breakfast, Miss!" Delancy gave Gaby a plate of her favorite sandwich.

"Delancy, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Gaby?"

"Well, um, Gaby." Delancy answered nervously.

Gaby nodded her satisfied sign as Delancy finally fulfilled her request. He ate his sandwich without saying a word. It made Emelie wonder, what happened to her daughter who became quiet today?

"Nothing, Ma. Gaby's just a lot of thought, that's all." Gaby replied flatly, "Sister, I'll wait in the car." Gaby said again after finishing her sandwich.

Luckily Gaby didn't have to wait for Andy too long in the car. They also went to school together.

"What's wrong with you today, Gaby?" Andy asked as they walked into the gates of Wonderfull High School, where they attended school.

Wonderfull High School or WHS, is a popular school in their city. WHS was one of the dream schools of Alexa, Gaby and Jenny when they were Junior High then and now, they managed to attend WHS and next year they will graduate from WHS.

"It's not your business." Answer Gaby ketus.

"Okay, okay. It's okay if you still don't want to tell it. I'll be near you if you want to tell a story." Andy then patted his sister's right shoulder, "Whenever you're ready, I'll be there for you." Andy then walked first to his class.

"Morning, Gaby!" 

"Hi, Alexa." Gaby greeted the girl back with her hair in the braid. Gaby's flat attitude made Alexa wonder, "What's wrong with you, Gaby?"

"I'm fine, I'm just less excited today. Now if you don't mind, please leave me alone! " Gaby then sped up to her classroom and Alexa followed in a hurry.

Arriving in the classroom, Jenny notices Gaby's strange behavior today and looks at Alexa as if asking: what's wrong with her?

Alexa just puts both shoulders and sits in her seat which is right behind Gaby's chair. After putting her bag in the desk drawer, Alexa looked back at Jenny sitting across from Gaby's right. Alexa codes Jenny to find out what happened to their jolly best friend.

Jenny stood up and pulled her chair closer to Gaby, "Hi, Gaby. It just so happens that you came a little slower today." Jenny started the conversation.

"Just right away, what do you want? "

"I want to ask you about Andy." Jenny carelessly chose the topic of conversation, making Alexa sigh rough while looking at Jenny annoyed.

"Andy's fine, he had breakfast this morning."

Gaby's answer to Jenny was enough to make Alexa realize that there was something wrong with Gaby today. What it has to do with Jenny's birthday party, Alexa asked in her heart.

While Jenny thought that the question was not right, "Did you tell Andy that I had forgiven him?" Ask Jenny again.

"Yes, I did."

"What did he say?" Jenny asked enthusiastically and forgot her goal, which was to persuade Gaby to tell her the problem.

"She said: thank Jenny for forgiving me."

Unknowingly Jenny clapped her hands in joy while shouting happily, "Why don't you guys just chat via whatsapp? It's gotta be easier..." Gaby started grumbling, "I'm not your pigeon."

Jenny responds to Gaby with a laugh, "Maybe it's time you get the attention of someone who-"

"But let me stop you there... Oh, before you speak..." Gaby immediately cut Jenny's sentence by singing one of Meghan Trainor's lyrics. Alexa smiles at Gaby's sweet voice that looks a lot like Meghan Trainor.

Alexa will approach her two best friends before they both get into a small argument, but Alexa sits back in her chair as Livian knocks on their classroom door.

"Alexa, Miss Polly wants to talk to you. He asked me to take you to see him." Livian said without turning her gaze away from Alexa until their eyes met. Gaby who saw that turned her face towards the window on her left. Does Livian need to look at Alexa like that, Gaby's inner self, then come to terms with what she just thought and shake her head.

Awake, Gaby! You're nothing to Livian!

"What does Miss Polly want to talk to me about?" Ask Alexa.

"Oh, he didn't tell me. Maybe something important."

Alexa then moved out of her chair and approached Livian, "We better find out. See you later, girls!" Alexa waved to her two best friends.

"See yes!" Reply Jenny and Gaby together.
