Third Person's POV

6 Years ago..

New York..

Hudson's Mansion..

Gabriella was preparing her backpack and was ready to go somewhere. In her white jacket and black pants, she went down and there she found her brother and Grandpa.

Grandpa: Where are you going honey?

Gabriella: Oh, Grandpa, you're back

She hugged and kissed her Grandpa in cheeks.

Gabriella: I need to visit the library.. I have homeworks.

Edward: We have an internet..

Gabriella: ei, brother, my homework is quite sensitive and if I look for it in the internet, some may mislead me. You know we can't trust what's in the internet that easy..

Edward:Okay, if you say so.

Gabriella: I better go now.

Edward: Let Mr. Fing drive you .

Gabriella: Okay. I'll see you later.

Gabriella left and after few minutes reached the library. She removed her cap and entered the library with his identification card. She chose the table next to the window which is her favorite site of the library. Next to her table is a boy busy reading an architectural reference which captured her interest.

Gabriella: (murmurs) Architecture..

After she put down her backpack, she immediately went to the shelf where science and philosophy were located. The boy noticed her when she looked at him. It was Timothy, he was in the library for an hour.

Timothy: Did she recognized me?

He looked to Gabriella who was by that time having a difficultly in getting her needed reference because it was in the 3rd level and she can't reached it. There's no platform there and even though she's tiptoeing she just can't reach it.

Timothy:(sighs) idiot.

On the other hand..

Gabriella: Damn, why is so high. My legs are hurting already.

Suddenly, she noticed someone stood at her back and took the the book she wanted. She turned around and she bumped into the chest of the boy (Timothy) and almost hit her head in the shelf luckily she was saved by the boy's hand.

Timothy: Are you okay? (stared fiercely)

Gabriella: Yeah, I..m.. fine. (her heart beats fast)

Timothy: Okay..(look at Gabriella's finger) I see.

Gabriella: Thank you. (stands straight) ahm, is your hand okay?

Timothy:(cold) I'm fine. Here's your book..

Gabriella: We'll ... Than..

Gabriella took the book and Timothy looked away and left without a word.

Gabriella: What's that? So rude. Tssk.

While walking back to his table..

Timothy: She didn't recognize me.. but it's her! And her finger, why isn't it here..

He angrily sat in his chair and soon after, Gabriella returned to her table. She's looking at Timothy who're to busy in reading his reference. She didn't bother to answer.

Time passed. Timothy stood and left to the counter to return the book. Without taking a look, he left. Gabriella was too busy to notice that the boy has left until she was finished.

Gabriella: (stretches) Finish..(noticed) hmm, he's gone.

She immediately stood and fixed her things and returned the book. She went out of the library.

Gabriella:(looked around) he's really gone.. Tssk, didn't even able to say thank you.

She started to walk. Halfway, the rain suddenly poured and she's not allowed to get soak in rain because of her poor health condition. She saw a shed so she ran there as fast as she could. There she got surprised when the boy she wished to see appeared right before in her eyes on the opposite side of the shed. Timothy also ran there to escape from the rain. The both stared at each other until both realized it and looked away. Both of the blushed. Gabriella noticed that her heart has been beating fast since Timothy helped him of her book. Both of them is still in the both end of the shed. And there's a silence between them. Only the sound of the pouring rain can be heard.

Gabriella:(thinking) why do I feel awkward? Don't tell me..(she blushed)

Timothy:(thinking) too silent.. She could not recognize me at all.

Until..

Gabriella: Uhm.. (both looked at each other) Thank you.

Timothy: It's nothing. It's your fault for being short.

Gabriella: short?..Excuse me ..

Timothy: What?(cold) it's true..

Gabriella: Oh.. forget it. I don't want to talk to stranger..(thinking) honestly, he's quite familiar but I cant recall anything..

She's looking down and keep on thinking and she's quite chilled.

Gabriella:.. it's my fist time meeting him.

Timothy noticed that Gabriella is quite chilled water though she wearing her jacket already. He removed his jacket and get closer to Gabriella. Gabriella heard the footsteps and when she looked up, Timothy was already in front of her.

Gabriella: You.. what..

Timothy wrap his jacket to Gabriella.

Gabriella: (blushed) hmm..

Timothy: Don't get too ahead. You're chilly, and I can't afford watching someone collapse in front of me..(let go and walked back)

Gabriella: Thank you..I'm actually cold now. I'll return it to you.

Timothy: How?

Gabriella: we'll..(act of thinking)

Timothy: (smiled secretly) ..give me your phone.

Gabriella: Eh? I don't even know your name, why would I give you my phone..

Timothy: Alright! I'm Ti..mo..thy.. Anderson.
