Chapter 4 He Is Everywhere

• “Gabriella, what the fuck did you do to my car? He growls out "Why the hell would you do something like that to my baby?"
• I snickered at his words. Did he just refer to his car as his baby? I guess I would, seeing how freaking expensive it is.
• His face turned deadly serious, with a big scorn on it. "I don't know why the hell you are laughing because it isn’t funny." I grabbed my chest as if his words hurt me.
• "Aww, I wish I could say I'm sorry. But you and I know I would just be lying through my teeth. You don't need to be a sad poo; it's not like you didn’t have your fun yesterday when you almost ran me over."
• "Fuck you, Gabriella."
• "I don't do charity work, and it's Bree". I don't know why he keeps on calling me Gabriella; he knows I don't like being called by my full name, but he does it to taunt me.
• "I’m so going to get back at you, Gabriella!. Just you wait". He leans toward me and brushes his soft lips against my ear. "Just wait and see, princess."
• We had a stare down, neither of us ready to back down. Bring it on," I counter back.
• "I plan on it". He said this before walking to his car and driving off.
• Okay! That was something.
• I tried not to think about his threat as I waited for Maddie to be done. just as she walked out of the school, I got into the car not saying anything. And we began driving towards the direction of my house, with Maddie yapping about the party, while I paid little to no attention to her words, lost in thoughts of my own.
• Right when I got home, my mom sent me to get groceries while she went to pick up Asher from school. I walk the lanes through Treats 'n' Tips." I had already gotten the necessary items, including eggs, milk, bacon, soda, and so on. I walked down the lane to the snack side for some Pringles.
• Right when I was about to give up, I found the hidden treasure sitting on a high shelf.
• Yah!.....
• I noticed there was only one that remained, so I rushed there, standing on my toes, to get to it, and that was when I saw someone's hands reaching for it too.
• My hand brushes against the person, and I look at the tall figure and scowl.
• Hayden.
• "I was here first; hand it over". I said, my arms crossed over my chest.
• "I wish I could, but like they say, finders keepers, losers suckers." He replied in a dubious tone.
• "Isn’t there a bullet somewhere you could, I don’t know... Maybe jump in front of." I counter back. "You don’t even like it."
• "Don’t get bitter, amore, just get better. And you should quit being obsessive with me. I get it; I’m handsome."
• "I would like to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my ass." I was rolling my eyes.
• "Keep rolling your eyes; maybe you will find a brain back there".
• Letting out a sigh. "Just give it back, Hayden."
• "Umm... NOPE!." He shakes his head before walking off.
• "Lord, give me patience, because if you give me strength, I'll need bail money too." I whispered to myself as I watched him walk off. He turns to send me a wink before going to the checkout line.
• I had no other option but to go for a bag of chips before checking out. On getting home, I took out the groceries, placing them in their appropriate places. Mom and Asher were already back. I walked into the room and took out my homework. I sat on the bed to do it with hip-hop music blasting out of my mini speaker.

• "Gabriella Maria Adam, how many times do we have to discuss your zoning-out problem?" Sofie sassed.
• "I'm so sorry, my dark queen". Sofie rolled her eyes at this, and Maddie just laughed.
• Right now, the three of us are currently grabbing lunch because we all have free periods.
• "So are we all down for movies today?" Sofie asked.
• "Yep, your place is right." I said to Maddie, sticking a spoonful of pudding into my mouth.
• " yeah. Oh, and Dylan is coming, and I don’t know who he's going to bring."
• "I think I’ve had enough of Hayden; just make sure he isn’t coming."
• "I will ask Dylan and get back to you". Maddie replied.
• We continued with our lunch, and I filled the girls in on what happened yesterday.
• After school was over, I went to shower and change before heading to Maddie's place. I walk to the front door and ring the doorbell. A few minutes later, Maddie opens the door and hugs me almost immediately.
• "You know you could walk in instead of ringing the bell". She says.
• "and walk in on you and Dylan naked. Never again will I relive such horror."
• She bursts out laughing. "That was comical; your face was priceless."
• "Really, you are just going to laugh. A little warning would have been better."
• "I know, sorry. Come on in, Sofie is waiting".
• I stepped into the house with Maddie trailing behind me, and we both walked into the living room to find Sofie munching on a pepperoni pizza while scrolling through her phone.
• "Anywhere there is food, you find Sofie."
• "What can I say, Bree? I just have this undying love for foods". She continued stuffing herself with pizza.
• "I wonder where they all go.". Maddie asked. Sofie was the foodie of the group and yet the tiniest; she could eat a whole zebra and still not add weight, and it's not like she exercises.
• I can't even eat a thing without adding a few pounds.
• "What can I say? I've got the body of a goddess," Sofie sass out playfully as she laughed. We both joined her in laughing and took a seat on the chair.
• "So what are we watching". I asked curiously.
• "I don't know, why don’t you and Sofie scroll through Netflix and see if you can find something fun, while I go make us some popcorn?" Maddie stood up and walked to the kitchen.
• I took the remote from the TV and turned on Netflix. We scrolled through so many movies and decided to watch a comedy-adventure movie. The jungle cruise I paused the movie, waiting for Maddie to return with the popcorn.
• "Dylan can't make it; the coach asked them to practice some more, seeing as their next match is next Saturday." Maddie said as she entered the living room with a bowl of popcorn in one hand and her phone in the other.
• "I guess it's just us girls then.". Sofie spoke, standing up to take the bowl of popcorn.
• "Guess so."
