Chapter 4
I sat up and rubbed my sleepy eyes. Glancing at my alarm clock, I saw that it was 10:15. I was glad that my father had to work on Saturday's. That meant i got the house all to myself.
I got up and went into my bathroom. As I walked past the mirror, I stopped and looked at my image. For the first time in forever, there was a slight sparkle in my eyes. I felt like I had found friends with the Hanson family. I had never really felt loved by my father. Ever since my mother died, I really hadn't felt any love from anyone, until now.
Zac and Taylor were supposed to meet me at 11:30 to go rollerblading. I hopped in the shower and took a long, hot one. Afterwards, I took forever blowdrying my long, brown hair. Then I put on my favorite red t-shirt and some lose-fitting jeans. It was 11:20 by the time I was done, so I set out for the park.
When I got there, Zac and Taylor were no where to be found. I sat down on a bench to wait.
As I was waiting, I noticed there was a guy sitting on a bench next to mine. He kept glancing my way and smiling. He finally said something. "Hi."
"Hi." I said back.
"What's your name?"
"Gabriella. What's yours?"
"Kurt. Kurt Smith." he said, extending his hand for me to shake.
Gabriella Malone." I said, shaking his outstreched hand.
"So...are you waiting on someone or what?"
"Yeah, I'm waiting on my friends Zac and Taylor."
"Your boyfriends?" he asked.
"No, just good friends." I told him, secretly hoping that one day I could say that Taylor was my boyfriend.
I looked to my right and saw Zac and Taylor approaching. "Hey!" Taylor yelled as they got closer.
"Hi Tay!" I yelled back, waving.
"Hey Gabby!" Zac yelled.
"Hey Zacster."
"Don't call me that!" Zac yelled.
Zac looked so funny with the look he had on his face that I just had to laugh.
"Who do you think you're laughing at?" he asked, pretending to be insulted.
Taylor looked at me and gestured to Kurt with a questioning look. "This is Kurt. I just met him and we started talking." I explaned.
"Kurt Smith." he said, shaking Zac and Taylor's hands.
"Taylor Hanson." Tay said.
"And I'm his psyco younger brother Zac." Zac said.
"Obviously."
Zac scowled. "Let's go rollerblading Gabby!" Zac whined.
"Alright, I'm coming." I said to Zac. To Kurt I said, "It was nice to meet you. Maybe I'll see you around."
"You too." he called as we sped off.
