Episode 5
The next day, at school, Gabby walks down the school hall. She accidentally trips over someone’s foot and falls to the floor.
As Gabby is about to get up, someone holds out their hand for her. She grabs the person’s hand and looks up at them.
Lloyd
*helping Gabby up* Sorry for tripping you over. Guess my foot stuck out too far.
Gabby
*thinks* Huh?! I tripped over him?! Of all people, it had to be him! How embarrassing!
Gabby
*stands up and lets go of his hand* Thanks. Sorry for tripping over you.
Lloyd
Oh, no. You’ve got nothing to apologise for. It was my fault for not being more careful about where I put my foot.
Lloyd
Are you ok, though? You took a hard fall.
Gabby
Uh, yeah. I’m fine. Thanks for asking
Gabby
Well, um, I think I’m going to head.
Gabby starts to walk down the school hall
Gabby
*turns around, wondering why he wanted her to stop* Hm?
Lloyd
Your name is Gabby, right?
Gabby
*thinks* OH MY GOODNESS! HE KNOW MY NAME! EEK!
Gabby
*says calmly* Yeah. I’m Gabby.
Lloyd
Right. That’s a pretty name.
Lloyd
*clears throat* Are you free after school today? You know, just to hang out.
Gabby
*stays calm and collected* I suppose so.
Lloyd
Great. Meet me at Fluffy’s after school today. They serve great food.
Gabby
Yeah, I’ll meet you at Fluffy’s.
Lloyd
Great. Well, cya then.
Gabby
Yeah, cya. *walks back down the hall*
Gabby
*thinks excitedly* AHH! AHH! AHH! GOING TO FLUFFY’S WITH LLOYD IS PRACTICALLY A DATE! THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE! EEK!
Gabby speedily walks around school until she finds Zoe
Gabby
*excited* Zoe, Zoe, Zoe! Guess what just happened!
Zoe
*confused* Did you get some ice cream?
Gabby
Even better! I’m meeting Lloyd after school!
Zoe
Oh my goodness! That’s practically a date!
Zoe
Where are you two going?
Gabby
Fluffy’s! Ah, I’m so excited!
Zoe
Wait, but you hate Fluffy’s.
Gabby
Do you seriously think I care? There’s a good chance that Lloyd is actually interested in me! That’s the least of my worries.
Zoe
I know, but…it’s just that if he’s really into you should he not know that you don’t like Fluffy’s?
Gabby
He barely knows me. I can tell him another time, sure.
Zoe
Let’s just get to class.
