Becca's
POV
"Becca, Gabe's here."
Caroline calls from outside Becca's
door.
"Okay, Bee, one last look. Do I look good?"
Becca asked. Toby looked up from his comic
book and nodded.
"Alrighty. Now, Bee, you can hang out here,
but don't mess with my stuff or read my
diary." Becca says. Toby is on her
bed, lying on his stomach, reading a comic book. He
nods.
"You got, it Beck. Have fun."
"Thanks Bee! See you later!"
Becca calls to him. She runs down the
stairs and into the foyer. She glances into the living
room, sees that nobody's in there, and then heads
for the kitchen.
"Hey, Gabe."
"Hey Becca."
"So, I was just telling Gabe how he's much
hotter than you described." Caroline says. She
takes a sip of something in her cup and smiles. Gabe
tries not to look embarrassed, but his cheeks look a
bit red.
"Caroline, how is that huge pimple on your
forehead doing?" Becca asked. Caroline's
hand moved to her bangs, combing the hair with her
fingers so that it covers the site of the pimple.
"Let's just go. Nice to meet you,
Caroline."
Gabe and Becca went to an Italian food restaurant
and then they drove up to Scolar Lake. The sky
was a dark shade of purple when they pulled up to the
lakefront in Gabe's car.
"Wow... Look at this view."
Becca whispered. She turned to find
herself face to face with Gabe, his hazel eyes looked
amazing in the moonlight.
"This one's pretty amazing too." Gabe
said. He put his hand on the side of
Becca's face and gave her a gentle
kiss.
"Hey. I'm going to go jump in the lake now. Do
you want to come?" Gabe asked. But, he didn't
wait for an answer. He kicked off his shoes and ran for
the water. Becca barely hesitated to follow suit and
splashed into the cold water after him.
