Episode 4
Math teacher
Today in class we will be learning how to do Pythagoras theorem.
Math teacher
I will show you how to do it. First of all…
Matt
*whispers* Hey, Gabby. What is this?
Gabby
*whispers* A super easy topic.
Matt
*whispers* Then why’s he still talking about it?
After the maths teacher finishes explains Pythagoras theorem, they start doing a worksheet.
Gabby finds it easy but Matt struggles.
Matt
I’ve had enough of maths. I may as well just fail it.
Gabby
*writing* You’re already doing that. You need to pass maths. It’s important.
Matt
Extra work. I think I’m good.
Gabby continues to write and Matt stares at her. Gabby looks at him out of the corner of her eye, sighs and then turns to him.
Gabby
You clearly want something if you’re staring at me.
Matt
Are you and Lloyd dating?
Gabby
No. Why would you say that?
Matt
Because you like him. I don’t know why.
Gabby
He’s nice. That’s why.
Matt
Yeah. He’s “nice”. Does Lloyd even like you?
Gabby
He doesn’t even know me. Probably not. Also, can you just do your work? I don’t want to talk about this.
At the end of maths, Gabby heads to her next class. Zoe catches up to her and starts walking beside her.
Zoe
He’s so stupid…and hot…nice…funny…
Gabby
Ok, I think I get it. You have a big crush on him. I’d be happy enough to swap seats with you.
Zoe
You want to sit beside Danny? Ha! Since when?
Gabby
You sit beside- I think I’ll stick with my seat.
Gabby
*thinks* I would rather swap with Bianca. She sits beside Lloyd.
At the end of the school day, Gabby goes to the bathroom. She hears some girls talking.
Random girl
You broke up with Danny?
Bianca
Of course I did. Well, I did cheat on him. He caught me in the act, too.
Girl
I’m surprised he didn’t break up with you first.
Bianca
Didn’t have enough time. I did it before he could.
Random girl
I’m sure he’s heartbroken.
Bianca
I doubt it. I don’t think he really liked me either.
Bianca
I can’t wait until the day that he finds a girl that actually loves him. The day that he actually loves her back.
The three girls all walk out of the bathroom laughing. Gabby walks out of the stall and washes her hands.
Gabby
*thinks* I kind of feel bad for Danny. It must be tough getting cheated on. But maybe Bianca did him a favour if he didn’t love her back.
On the way back home from school, Gabby hears footsteps coming from behind her.
Gabby
*thinks* Who’s she?! Am I supposed to know her?! Oh no, oh no, OH NO!
Jess
It’s so good to finally get to talk to you.
Jess
Oh, sorry. I’m Jess. I’m your biggest fan!
Gabby
*very confused* I have a fan club?
Jess
Of course! You’re so pretty and cute and nice. I aspire to be like you someday.
Gabby
That’s very sweet but I think you should just be yourself.
Gabby
*shakes hands and head* I’m really not that perfect.
Jess
Well, I think you are. Also, I’m gonna head. This is not the way to my house. Bye!
Jess runs backwards and Gabby watches her go. Jess runs into a person, quickly gets up, looks at the person and runs away, scared.
Danny
Try to be more careful next time, wannabe!
Gabby quickly heads home and goes into her house.
