GABRIELLA'S POV:

"Gabriella are you OK?" Daniel asked me as soon as we entered the elevator.

We bumped into each other outside the Senior Building. He was coming from the field and I was coming outside of the building. He informed me that the eight graders were doing some kind of experiment on the field so no one was allowed to go there right now.

We decided to head to the cafeteria and have lunch together.

"Yeah I am." I answered as I evaded his eyes.

"Are you sure?" He asked again. "You're not yourself today."

"I'm fine Daniel. You don't have to worry about me." I gave him a smile.

We reached the cafeteria and the whole place was so rowdy with teens of different ages and gender.

After getting our food, we settled on a table where it was just the both of us. As we were eating, I broke the silence.

"So......what do you wanna tell me?" I said after dropping my slice of pizza back on my plate.

He looked nervous at first. "Uhh umm...it's not actually tell, it's more of ask. Ummmmm well.....w..we have known each other for a week now, actually this night will make it a week and during the times we spent together, I enjoyed every bit of it and I find you very very interesting and fun to hang around with. Uhhh ummmm I would uhhh like to uhhhhh..."

"Wait wait wait. Daniel you look soooo nervous, are you OK? You're sweating." I looked at his sweaty forehead.

"Yeah I am. I'm just really hot."

"Hot?? The Cafeteria is freezing with cold from the air conditioners."

"Really? I feel hot." He adjusted his tie away from his neck a bit.

"Ummm alright." Is all I say.

"As I was saying. I just wanna ask you......Will you go-" He was cut shut by someone.

"There you are. I have been looking all over for you." I heard a voice at my back say and I turned around and saw it was Scarlet.

"Scarlet?" I said to her.

"Gaby where have you been??" She looked at Daniel. "Oh hi Daniel, I am super-duper sorry but I have to borrow Gabriella it's just there's something super important that's happening and her attention is needed."

"Uhh um sure." Is all he said.

"Uhh Scarlet can't it wait, he wants to tell me something." I said to her.

"Gaby it can't wait, you need to come now to our table.." She said and dragged me up from my seat.

I heaved a sigh. "Alright fine. I'll see you later Daniel?" I said.

"Yahh sure." He spoke and gave me a smile, like usual.

Scarlet surprised me by dragging me all the way to the girls's table and sat me down opposite Kylie.

"Where were you?" Kylie asked as she sipped her strawberry and creme frappuccino.

"With Daniel Snow." Scarlet said in a manner that I didn't really understand. She sat down by the left side of me.

Andrea raised her eyebrow at the both of us.

"Damn I forgot my tray, let me just go back And-"

"Here's a strawberry cheesecake frappuccino. You're welcome." Scarlet placed the frappuccino in front of me.
