17 Engagement and "talk" with Gigi

(A/N: As we are getting closer to the canon, it is getting harder for me to write anything other than the story itself and how MC will act in those scenes. So, I am thinking of wrapping up these chapters before canon with this chapter or one more chapter where the scenes from the flashback happen at Jay's wedding or his engagement with Gloria. If you have any other flashback in mind, and you would like that to be written before the canon, comment down below and as usual, give me all your power stones.)

*MC POV*

The first few days of high school passed by like a breeze on a windy day. My place on the basketball team was not a problem because of my past performances and being the captain of my middle school team. The coach from my middle school team helped as well in that decision because she was now the coach of the high school team.

She was very happy to have our team as her proteges because it will keep her record as a winning coach and in front of the school directors it will help her in the later part of her career.

So, today when I was attending my classes like any other day, my mind was not in the class. Because of the conversation I had with my girlfriend the last time we met, she was not in the same classes as me.

It went like something like this

*Gigi*- Hey Nate, I want to tell you something and I want you to not be angry with me because of this.

*Me* - Sure, what's up?

*Gigi* I was thinking about our future, mostly my part in that future. Because I don't want to be that girl, who is dependent on her man for their future. Are you getting me?

,*Me* - Yeah, I am getting what you trying to say to me, why don't you say it clearly, it's not like I am a stranger. You can tell me anything and I will support you in whatever it is you trying to do.

*Gigi* - That is what I am trying to say partially, I know you will support me, but what I am saying is that I want to do something by myself. Like you just started your company by yourself. I want to do something like this.

*ME* - Ok! if that is what you want to do that is fine, but I will say this again and not in a demeaning way or to insult you in any way, that I support you and I will always have your back.

*Gigi* - Thank you, Nate! I knew you would understand, I know that I don't have a clear idea of what I want to do, but knowing that you have my back, just gives me extra confidence.

and after that, she kissed me deeply and we snuggles into each other on the park bench on which we were having our conversation.

With this memory of the kiss, my thoughts went to the scene where two people were kissing but it was not Gigi and me, but Gloria and Grandpa at their wedding reception.

As the family somewhat accepted the relationship between Gloria and Grandpa, we had some dinners together. and it is at one of these dinners that Grandpa informed us of their engagement and it was a surprise for most of us, but for my mother, it was another reminder that this relationship was real and it was going to last for some time at least according to her.

And the surprise part of the dinner for me was not the engagement part because I knew it was going to happen sooner or later but when Grandpa asked me to be his "Best Man" and of course I accepted and it made him very happy. He later told me that it was because of me that he met Gloria which was somewhat true, and I reluctantly agreed with him on this. I can't just tell him that it was going to happen even without me as it happened in my previous life.

So, most of that dinner went with talks of when will the marriage will take place and who is going to be invited to the wedding.

Later I ask. how Grandpa proposed to her, I wanted to confirm what I already knew.

He told me that same scene that happened when Gloria was telling Cameron about her proposal in the later episode.

So, once again I confirmed that my actions are not a big influence on the trajectory of the characters in the show unless I directly interfere in their actions.

*Haley POV*

High school was going more or less how I imagined it would go when I was little. I am the popular girl on campus and I feel proud of it. I worked hard for this, maybe some would think that the popular girl on campus just happens, but it is not that easy.

My twin might know what it takes, but he does not have to work hard like me. I know he has no need for that because he is a jock, but I know how hard he worked to be that good in what he does on the basketball court.

I just take that part of his hard work and I applied it to the other parts of life, it is ongoing work and I have to keep doing this so that I can have what I now possess in the future as well.

On another note, because of the company that my brother started, I also had some pressure on me, but I don't like to show it to anybody in the family. But I don't know if due to us being twins or his consciousness, Nate one day came to me this summer and asked me if I was getting some pressure and if I want to talk about that. I just laughed it off. But he keep asking me and I have to talk to him and what he said at that time made me believe once more that I have a special brother and I can always depend on him.

He said if ever I start to feel any pressure, then talk to him before our parents, because he will always listen to me whatever I want to talk about and will not give me, his opinions but rather help me to make my own decisions.

It is things like this he does from our childhood till now that makes me believe he will be there in the future with me whether I make a bad decision or a right one. I got a great family from my grandpa to my parents and my other sibling even my mother even though she makes my life miserable sometimes, but Nate is always my favorite of all of them.

----------------

(A/N: so, we have a new POV, I know I made it about their sibling bonding and whatnot but I could not get my mind around this and I knew I have to write this, So, I did. Onto other things in the chapter we got MC and Gigi interaction, not the one you would expect from two 14-year-olds, but I decided to write this, because why the hell not, who gets to decide that 14-year-olds can't decide about their future and in a Tv show no less. and Jay had his engagement and with a little twist I made MC his Best Man and I hope you like that and this chapter as well. If you have any suggestions comment down below and leave a review, it helps.)
