LET'S BE BESTFRIENDS

JANE'S POV

Ever since Gabby has returned from the office of the President earlier, I noticed she's been so quite for the whole time. I'm worried.Did something happened? Right, when she called me earlier, her voice is trembling as if she's crying! What should I do? if I asked, will she avoid it.

"Ahmm.." she stared at me.

"Something's wrong?", she asked me. She might've noticed me staring at her for awhile.

"Nothing, what about you,?" I asked her.

" Nothing," she suddenly sit straight and smiled.

She dodged it. But I can see the sadness in her eyes.

"By the way, what's the meeting all about!?", I asked.

" Oh, about the Architecture Students Competition, Timothy, Scarlette and I were asked to join and represent the school," she replied.

" What? the three of you!!" I answered.

" Yap, hehe. Can't they choose higher level?," she said it with a sigh.

" I don't know, but one thing for sure. You'll be very busy and we won't be seeing each other for awhile", I teased her.

She tapped my back and said," Don't worry, my dear, mom will be just few rooms away". We both laughed.

After the class, we were walking down in the corridor to the gate. We suddenly stopped in the bulletin board and where we both saw the announcement. Their photos are posted in the board. She was going to participate in the Individual competition and Timothy and Scarlette will be going for the team competition. Now, I know why.

" Where did they took my picture", she asked me teasingly.

"Haha, I know right. Isn't it from your family clan", I answered.

She sighed. Alas, my driver has arrived and she's still waiting for her driver. Well, she's safe. I can saw some of her bodyguards hiding in the bush.

GABRIELLA'S POV

Jane has left and I'm still waiting for my driver. I can see the worry in Jane's eye, did I make it obvious. Ahaii. I'm standing near the gate when I saw pair of student coming from the school building. As expected,it's Scarlette and Timothy. I've been avoiding Timothy for awhile days ago and so , earlier. I'm jealous, actually, but what can I do, I have no right.

I immediately hide in the corner where bed of roses are lying. I hide well until they pass by, I wore my headset to avoid my boredom.

TIMOTHY'S POV

I was opening my locker when floods of letter fell down from locker. I got pissed and don't even dare to pick any of it. While walking out to the school, I happened to meet Scarlette. She held me but I stared her coldly until she took her hands out. She didn't left me so I walked with her out of the building. From there, the moment we stepped out, I saw Gabriella near the gate, probably waiting for her driver. But she ran away to the beds of roses near the corner and hide there. She really is avoiding me. I want to hold heur hands and explain, but who am I do that.

So, we passed by. And pretended I didn't know she was there.

United States..

EDWARD'S POV

It's been days since Gabby went school away from us. I really miss her. She's calling Grandpa, twice a day but me, she have completely forgotten me. I'm gonna call her.

"Hello", she answered the phone.

" Hey, how dare you forget me", I said angrily.

"I'm sorry, I didn't. I'm just so busy", she replied. I sighed.

"How's school",? I asked her.

"Oh brother, wish I didn't transfer. Haha, I'm going to join the upcoming Architecture Students Competition", she replied.

" Oh, too much for the transferee.", I teased her.

"I know, right. They have higher level students, I feel guilty", she said.

" Hey, don't be. Let's help the school, haha", I teased her again.

" But seriously, the other school ain't stopping yet to send offers, can you do something about that", she said.

" okay, I'll deal with it," I answered. "Looks like you're busy, I gotta go, don't forget your check up this Saturday", I added.

" Okay, don't worry. I have it checked, gotta go", she said.

"Uh. Take care." I hanged up.

Regarding the offers, ever since highschool, my sister has been receiving offers from different architecture school. I don't know but Gabby has been their apple in their eye. Well, my sister has the ability they need, I mean, even though she's too young, she was already designing and some of them today is standing. It's true that she didn't have license,so she offers it to the architect's she knew. Gabby, I can say, has the eye on Architecture that's why it's easy for her to decide her own design.

GABRIELLA'S POV

It's the last day of our practice regarding the Architecture Students Competition. Tomorrow is the day. Anyways, I haven't been able to see Jane for this days. I missed her so much. I feel lonely. We are not able to attend the class since we're dismissed and excused for the whole three days. We're also going home late at night and my eye bags are already out. Damn, it's so hard. Also, we are practicing separately, to keep our focus intact.

Unexpectedly, the teacher instructed us to be on the same room to since it's the last day and cope up with the pressure. I mean, what the hell, I'm good practicing alone. I don't want to be with them. I'm so embarassed. Damn it . But what can I do, they are the boss. Luckily, the teacher said, they are out for a while so I move there immediately. I get there without them, I fixed my things and buried myself to my sample problem.

TIMOTHY'S POV

It's been three days, I'm so exhausted. But for the past days, I'm really worried about Gabriella. She's not been around since we're practicing separately. Everytime I tried to visit her, she's not there. It's like she's been hiding for the rest of her day. So, the moment I heard that we're going to share same room to practice, I'm really excited.

"Timothy, can you help me carry some of my things", she asked me .

Since Gabriella isn't approaching yet, I decided to go her.

Until we finished,.

"You go ahead first, gotta go to the comfort room," she told me.

" Okay,". I answered her coldly.

I immediately go back to the classroom and there I saw Gabriella so busy with her plate. She's so busy that she didn't noticed me arrived. I saw her tube fell down so I helped her. I saw her expression, the way she immediately turned her head away.

"Thank you", she took the tube immediately and returned on making her plate.

I returned to my chair.

GABRIELLA'S POV

What the . Why is he here.. I don't want to be alone with him.. Where is Scarlette..

I am so embarrassed that I don't want to see him. But why is he here. Oh God. He returned to his chair and started to draw.

"Ahm," he made a sound. " Gabriella, Let's be friends". he said.

I suddenly stopped out of shocked and a cold wind blew before us.

TIMOTHY'S POV

I saw her looked at me while I'm drawing so I decided to break the silence.

"Ahm.. Gabriella, let's be friends", I said.

She suddenly stopped writing and the moment of silence occured between us. She suddenly stood straight and looked at me. I'm sweating, I'm panicking .

"Let's be bestfriends", I said.

She looked at me seriously and said, " No, we can't be bestfriends". I'm so speechless and I don't know what to do anymore.

"Why?", I asked her.

"Because .." she looked down, I'm sweating more. " I already have a bestfriend"..

" What.." I said.

" I have a bestfriend already and she's irreplaceable. There's only two option left to you now, it's either stay where you are or be my boyfriend", she said it firmly with gestures.

" You...", I blushed. " Well, ." I looked away because I'm already blushing. I don't want her to see me like this.

Until she suddenly laughed. I'm starstruck. She laughed beautifully that time.

"We're already bestfriends, you idiot. Or I'm only the thinking that we are. Ouch! That hurts", she said holding her heart.

" Of course not," I stood and said it firmly. " I've always been thinking of you as my bestfriend. Actually, you're my very first girl friend.", I added.

She blushed. I saw it. Damn, Luckily she didn't understood my girlfriend thing.. Phew!

" Alright, you're getting sentimental now. Let's just finished our plates, I'm tired and I wanna go home", she smiled at me. It's like cupid's arrow hit me deeply.

"So, you're not mad at me, anymore", I asked her immediately.

She looked at me again.

"Who told you I'm tired", she said.

"Come on, in the just the very short time we've spent back then, I already know how and when you're tired", he said

" You are," she said.

"Uh-uh" I nodded .

" Then, I'm mad but not anymore." she said.

" That's good", I said. It's a relief. " Mind telling me why you got mad?"

" You don't need to know," she said.

"Hey",

" Didn't you know how and why I got mad, do you want me to get mad again", she said.

" Okay, you win." I said. She smiled . " Then, Gabriella, Hi, I'm Timothy Jake Anderson", I said while stretching my hands.

"Childish." she said. I felt embarrassed. " Hi, I'm Gabriella Andrew Hudson", she shared my hands just like before. Its felt like we're back to the beginning.

I'm so happy that I want to hug her.

GABRIELLA'S POV

What? Is this the ICE PRINCE they said! His hands are warm. Wait, wait, wait. I'm upset at him,right? But where did it go . He washed it away with his words.

Have I really fell that deep?..
