“We’re gonna be late,” Nila said to me.
“Just a minute,” I said as I put the finishing touches on my outfit.
I was a perfectionist in everything my dressing included. Besides, today was a special day for someone special to me and I needed to look the part.
“Okay, I'm ready,” I said as I turned to face Nila, “how do I look?” I asked.
“You look.. Stunning,” she said, “you look really great.”
“Thank you, you do too,” I said to her and she curtsied and smiled.

GABRIEL***"We're home," Mom said as she opened the door to our house.She dumped her bag onto the living room floor and went around every room as if she was announcing her presence. I shook my head. I knew she had forgotten all about it and so I picked it up and carried it to her room before I went to mine.It felt good to be back. It had been a great year, a year I would never forget but being home felt great. It felt like a sigh of relief. I had made it back. I had done it. My mother and I had chosen to relocate temporarily because it felt like a good idea to just start over in a place that was unplugged and away from real life and all the responsibilities that real life demanded from us.It had been healing to be in a place where no one kn

EMILY***"You guys knew about it, didn’t you?" I asked Nila and Julie who were suddenly awfully quiet when Gabriel walked in."Who, me? I have no idea what you're talking about?" Nila asked while holding her hands to her chest in mock surprise.We all laughed."I won't lie and say I didn't know. In fact, I had a meeting with him to make sure he had changed for good," Julie said.She was always so intense. I loved it."Thanks for looking out for me," I said to her."You know I got you. Always," she said.

EMILY***“Make sure to read the next chapter before tomorrow,” the professor said to a crowd of students that were already making their way out of the class. I was writing down one last thing on my notepad and by the time I finished packing up my bag, the hall was empty, except for the professor, Mr. Thomas, who was cleaning the whiteboard.“I really enjoyed today’s class, Mr. Thomas,” I said as I walked to the front of the room. He looked up at me and smiled, and I could tell he needed to hear that today. I was glad I was the one who said it.“Thank you, Emily,” he said as he picked up his books, “have yourself a great weekend.”“You too,” I said as I walked towards the dorms.That was the last class of the week and I was glad it ended early because it gave me plenty of time to catch up on all the assignments I had before the new week. I hoped that I had not forgotten anything, any assignment that was due, or any group project. I never had, but I had never been able to fully trust

THE BEGINNING(Bakersville Elementary, 1999)***“I’d like us to welcome a very special guest into our class,” Miss Phoebe said, and those words were enough to attract the attention of all the kids. Life in Bakersville was boring, even for them, and so the thought of something, someone new made them excited.“My name is Gabriel Ford,” the boy said and kept quiet. He must not have known just how excited the rest of the class was to see a new face.“Where are you from?”“How old are you?”“Where do you live now?”“Do you like soccer?”“One question at a time, boys and girls,” Miss Phoebe said when she noticed how overwhelmed Gabriel looked. He was not used to having so much attention. The whole class fell quiet and waited for Gabriel to answer the questions. But he just stood there and stared blankly at everyone.“It seems that Gabriel needs time to adjust to this new environment, so let’s let him off for today. He'll answer all your questions in due time.” The whole class groaned in d

GABRIEL***“We don’t usually accept such late admissions but your application was simply spectacular,” the woman said. I was in the Dean’s office with my mom. It was always my mom and me nowadays.We decided to move after I finished high school. The divorce process had ended a whole year before but my mom didn’t want to uproot me when I was so close to graduating. We chose to wait until I was done and then we could go somewhere new and start a new life with new memories.I had taken everything in stride. I went along with all of my mother’s decisions because I didn’t know how else to cope. I felt mentally and emotionally exhausted and not having to make decisions for myself made the burden a little bit easier. I also didn’t want to disagree with my mom. She didn’t need that. She needed someone who would validate and affirm her decisions so that she could be sure that leaving her husband was the right one as well.And it was. I knew this, which is why I chose my mom. But it didn’t mak

EMILY***“YOU SAW WHO?” Julie shouted.It was a relief Nila wasn’t in the room, otherwise, she would have given me one of those death stares that made my blood run cold. I was having a weekly face-time call with my best friend, my real best friend, who had been accepted at Yale. We were sad to be separated from each other but we had chosen to make things work despite the distance.“You heard me the first time. Don’t make me repeat myself,” I said.“What is Gabriel doing in Cresswell of all places? And in your school?” Julie asked the exact same questions that I had been asking myself since I saw him two days ago.“I don’t know,” I said, “I don’t even know what to think.”“Do you think he followed you on purpose? Has he been STALKING you?”I couldn’t help but laugh. Being friends with Julie had been an interesting ride. She was always coming up with worst-case scenarios. No wonder she was a writer, her imagination was so wild.“None of that matters. Only two things matter right now. I

(Bakersville Elementary, 1999)***“It’s reading time!” Miss Phoebe said, and all the kids groaned in disapproval.All of them except Emily and Gabriel. This was their favorite time of the week. They got to sit quietly for one hour and read as many books as they liked.Gabriel had been at Bakersville Elementary for two months now, and they had become inseparable. They had come to be known as the SmartyPants and they were yet to be offended by the nickname. They liked it, actually, being outcasts, because they could be outcasts together.They had settled into an easy friendship which was made much easier by the fact that they were also neighbors, and their mothers were friends. In those two months, they had spent countless hours at each other’s homes and they had practically become family.They sat side by side and while the rest of the class chose to spend Reading Time making spitballs and running around the class, they spent theirs doing what they both loved best: reading. It was one

EMILY***“I didn’t know you took this class,” I said to Harry.Harry was the student body president as well as the most popular person in all of Creswell. He was handsome, and smart and was also a member of the football team. He was expected to be a jerk given that he had all the qualifications, but he had a good reputation. He hadn’t dated anyone in all of Cresswell and all the girls who had tried to make a move on him couldn’t say anything bad about him even if they tried. No one dared to spread rumors about him or tarnish his name, because they knew there was no point. It was simply not true.“I do. I’ve been sitting at the back of the class this whole time,” he said, smiling.I realized something at that moment.“How do you know my name?” I asked and he laughed. I didn’t know that it was funny.“I debated asking you what your name was but I was afraid of sounding like a snob. Plus, I couldn’t pretend I didn’t know you,” he said.“How do you know me?” I asked.“Well, you sit at th

THE END(Bakersville High school)“Emily doesn’t want to see you right now,” Terry said to Gabriel and he could tell by the tone of her voice that she didn’t want to see him too.He still didn’t know what he had done. Was this still about the stupid argument they had had that past weekend? He wanted to believe that that was what it was but something felt incredibly off.Something very bad had happened but he had no idea what it was and he had no way of finding out either because Emily wouldn’t see him. She wouldn’t pick up his calls or answer his texts either.

EMILY***“See you on the weekend,” Mom said as she dropped me off in the parking lot.“See you,” I said as I got out of the car. I watched her drive off before I walked to my dorm room.I had a new roommate because it was part of the school rules to change roommates at the beginning of every academic year. Nila and I had hoped and prayed that fate would let us meet again as roommates but that hadn’t been the case.It almost didn’t matter, though, because we remained good friends who were always together around the school. It had been months since the school year started. In fact, it was closer to the end now than it was in the beginning. The semester in which Gabriel felt like it was ages ago- it was almost

GABRIEL **** “I heard that you were leaving,” Emily said. “At the end of the semester, yes,” I said. “What?” she asked, turning red, “I came running over because Harry made it sound like you were leaving today!” I laughed. “He probably did that on purpose,” I said, “I should thank him for that.” “We should thank him for that,” she said, “it’s about time we had this conversation anyways.” “Yeah,” I said, “I was going to save it for last but I guess now is just as great, considering you ran over and everything,” I

EMILY***“Are you sure you’re okay?” mom asked as she helped me pick up my last bag from her trunk.“I’m sure, Mom,” I said, “plus there are only a few days left until the end of the semester and I'll be back home.”“I’m only letting you go because you have finals,” she said and I couldn’t help but smile.My parents had been watching over me more carefully than ever since I went back home and it had become suffocating- I used the fact that finals were ongoing to free myself and go back to school. I just needed a few days.&ld

GABRIEL***“I think you already know what I’m going to say,” I said to Harper who was seated across from me.She was crying.“I do,” she said as she sniffled.“I am sorry for all the hurt I've caused you. I shouldn’t have dated you when I knew I had so much baggage. I only hope that you’ll find someone who will be easy to love, someone who won’t cause you as much heartbreak and pain as I have,” I said.“I’m sorry too, to you as well as to Emily. I shouldn’t have let my insecurities control me.”“I shouldn’t have pu

EMILY***“Dinner’s ready,” my Mom said, snapping me out of my thoughts.It seemed she had been standing there for a while, watching me, and I hadn’t even noticed.“I’ll be right down,” I said, and she smiled at me before she left.I had been home for the past three days. My parents had gotten wind of the news and they had come to pick me up in the evening after I talked to Harry. Final exams were ongoing, and I had been against the idea of being at home but my parents had insisted.I had appreciated the rest and being away from what had happened for the first few days, but now I wanted to go back to school. Doing nothing all day did not sit we
