Gaby goes to chino hills and is on the girls varsity basketball team. LaMelo is on boys varsity. She dislikes him because she thinks he is obnoxious, loud, and annoying. But what will happen when he begins to catch feelings for her?
I wake up to the sound of my phone beeping, alarming me to wake up. Today is my first day of sophomore year at Chino Hills High School. I'm excited to be back, and to start basketball season again. But I'm not excited to have to go back and deal with the same stupid teachers and students. More specifically, I don't want to deal with one person. He is the most obnoxious person I've ever met, and he goes by the name of LaMelo Ball. Him and I were best friends from kindergarten until the beginning of freshmen year when he got his first girlfriend and started to ignore me. Lets just say that our "friendship breakup" was nasty and I didn't talk to anyone for a whole week. Luckily along the way I made a new best friend. Her name is Daniella but I call her Dani for short. She was there for me when I needed her and I really appreciated her for it. Throughout the whole summer LaMelo tried to apologize to me and try to be my friend again. He would tell me things like "cmon Gaby I broke up with her a long time ago and I miss you" but I just ignored him like he did to me. I don't hate him anymore he is just a pest to be around. I try to ignore him as much as possible but its difficult considering he is part of my" friend group".
I get out of bed and take a quick shower. Then I brush my hair and do my regular makeup routine. I throw on the outfit below. I grab my backpack and as I do, I receive a text from Dani telling me she was outside ready to pick me up. I run down the stairs and grab a granola bar with a bottle of orange juice and head out the door.

I live in a large house with 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and a pool in the back. It's nice to live in such a nice house except for the fact that my parents are usually on a business trip and I feel lonely most of the time. I usually invite Dani over but it isn't the same as family. My parents always tell me that there on business trips all the time "to keep a roof on my head and make money." But I know they could be at home more often if they wanted to be.
Dani was outside waiting to pick me up in her convertible BMW. "Hey Gaby" She says with a smile. Dani was a very happy and nice person, but if you test her, you will see a whole new side to her, and that's what I️ loved. "Hey" I️ greet her back. We ride to school for about 20 minutes singing along to the songs that came onto the radio. "So are you gonna find a bae this year?" She says with a smirk. She teases me all the time because I've never had a real boyfriend or even my first kiss. "I'll get a boyfriend when the time is right and I like someone." " Well I know someone who is always an option." "Who" I ask. "LaMelo" she says nudging me on the shoulder. "Are you nuts? Ew!" I shout in disgust. "Oh shut up! We all know the only reason you got so mad he was ignoring you for his girlfriend was because you were jealous." "No I wasn't" I try to fight back. But she's right. I started to gain feelings for him in the end of eighth grade and I never told anyone. And when he got a girlfriend it just pushed my limit. Something Dani had always told me was "You can never have a boy bestfriend without catching feelings, and she was right. But it was only a little crush and that's completely gone now.
We finally arrive at school and go to the main office to get our schedules. I see a bunch of new faces and new freshmen. I can't really say, "look at all the little freshmen" considering I was one last year. After we get our schedules, we look at them and compare classes. Unfortunately, we only had four classes together. My first period was chemistry but hers was Geometry. We head our separate ways and go to our classes before we're late. I walk into the class and see an open lab table, so I take it and sit alone. The teacher starts talking and handing out packets and first day forms, as LaMelo walks through the door. "You're late" she says with a slight attitude. "Sorry" he says scratching the back of his neck. "It's fine just take a seat." Of course there was no open seat anywhere except next to me.
He walks over and sits next to me, not even glancing at me once. Maybe he wont be annoying like in the summer. I'm soon mistaken when he looks over to me and says "Hey Gaby Waby" with a big toothy smile. "Hi, and don't call me that." I spit with attitude. "How was you summer?" He asks. I feel bad sometimes. He technically didn't do anything bad to me and I just blocked him out of my life like a bitch. But whatever, he should have gotten the hint that I liked him and dumped that girl. I could never forgive him for that.
