Gaby and Jose have always been friends since elementary school. They would always go to each other's houses, hang out together, and play games. They even grew up together through all of middle school, but once they got to high school everything changed. There were new people, the school was bigger, and Jose and Gaby rarely talked to each other, once they got their own friend groups. One of Gaby’s new friends was named Josh. Her and Josh were friends since freshman year, They are now seniors. Josh and Gaby were very close friends and had a special connection. The problem with Josh was that he was a bully and would target Jose the most. Jose was constantly getting bullied by Josh and Gaby didn't know. It was the first day of their senior year in highschool. Jose is walking to class being aware of his surroundings in case Josh tries to bully Jose. Jose walks in his new class and he sees Gaby sitting at a desk alone. Jose took the  opportunity to sit and finally catch up with her. Gaby was surprised to have Jose for a class for the first time in highschool. So Jose and Gaby got to catch up, and Gaby was talking about Josh and how she had a thing for him. Jose’s eyes lit up. Gaby was confused because she was wondering why his eyes had lit up. She asked what was wrong and Jose wiped his face and said Nothing's wrong. So she continued talking about Josh and how he was nice to her, but Jose knew that Josh wasn't that type of person Gabby had described him as. Jose wanted to tell Gabby Fat Josh wasn't how she explained he was but he was worried what if she thought he was lying and she would never want to talk to him. Then Gabby was explaining how the last two years of high school were not talking to Jose. Then Jose was telling Gabby how his last three years of high school were. Then the bell rang and it was time for the second period. Gabby and Jose thought it would be a good idea to walk together to their next class. On the way over there, Gabby and Jose were chatting when Jose paused and Gabby was still talking. Jose and Josh saw each other. As Josh walked past Jose he bumped his shoulder and dropped Jose's books. He then apologized as if it was an accident. Josh then asks Gabby to walk with him so they did and left Jose. Jose wanted to tell Gabby so many bad things about tosh but was also scared Josh would bully him twice as he usually does. The bell rang for lunch. Jose had Gabby for lunch too! Gaby sees Jose so she walks up to him and apologizes about what had happened in the hallway. She was apologizing Josh walks up and as Jose was was walking with his lunch tray Josh knocks it down. Jose then ran how Gabby chased after him. Jose was sitting on the benches outside when Gabby walked up to him and apologized once again. While they were talking they made eye contact. Gabby and Rose both felt something. They did they had fell in love or something. Gabby had a thing for both those and Josh. A few months pass at Jose and Gabby are getting closer. Wow that is happening Josh gets mad and I'm very jealous. After school Josh tell the cabbage she has to choose between him and Jose and if she chose Josh she would have to stop talking to Hose, so Gabby agreed she would choose Josh over Jose. The next day Gabby told Jose what was going to happen. This made Jose sad and made him prove to Gabby why she should have chosen him over Josh. So Jose started running his own clothing brand online. His business was at a bad start. He had no customers, Josh would make fun of it. He knew not to give up on his business. After high school, Josh and Gabby are still dating. Jose's business is going excellent and becoming rich. Gabby regrets kidding with Josh because Josh didn't take the relationship seriously And they are always arguing. Gabby then breaks up with Josh. She then sees how big Jose and his business have become and will always regret choosing Josh over Jose.
