It had, back then, seemed preposterous: of course, she had friends, but she would never have described herself as popular. If anything, she would have suggested that people were only friends with her because she forced herself upon them, or because they were stuck at school together, or because they were too polite to tell her to go away and leave them alone.

But, Merlin, had she been busy! It was almost like she'd had no time to relax during her weeks off. After cramming in her OWLs as early as possible (honestly, getting them out of the way had seemed a good idea at the time, although she was wondering if she would regret that when the results came in), she'd met up with Igor and Piccadilly, spent time with Eli in Italy (!), had seen Josh play football and had been to a couple of Leighton's fights.

All of it was incredibly exciting, and Gabrielle wouldn't have changed it for the world. Except maybe bumping into Luz whilst at Leighton's fight with Joshua. Bumping into Luz anywhere was not a situation she would have enjoyed at all, but being with the two boys made it a million times more uncomfortable.

But right then she was NOT thinking about that, or all of the strange feelings that it had brought up. Instead, she was focused on the fact that Joshua was here!

Okay, so maybe she had spotted him head in Atticus' and followed him, but she had TRIED to catch his eye from across the street and clearly he had been within his own thoughts. Not that it bothered her much, of course, because she could just surprise him in the shop! Like this!

"Hiiiii Joshua," she called out, moving though the music selections towards him.

His nimble fingers continued to flip through the options and found entirely too many options he wanted to listen to to pass the time while also holding out for one of his top 5 to show up...which meant that he was committing to nothing. Which was terribly ironic. Though his attention was briefly torn from the covers when he heard his name - whole name and not a nickname, which then narrowed down who a fair bit - and turned his head to see Gabrielle bounding towards him. "Hey!" chuckles as he forgoes his whole search and turns sideways towards her while leaning against the stand with his hip. "Good seeing you."

He meant that too and may actively be ignoring that awkward evening and whatever else may be lingering there.

"You looking for anything in particular?" He probably had half the shop memorized by this point due to all his frequent visits. Everything but apparently where the latest West End recording for Newsies was.

And was he also moving in for a small hug? Absolutely. Though he was trying to be casual about it and doing it one handed while his hip still remained attached to the stand he was leaning against. Just needed a pair of shades and he would be set in the cool as a cucumber look.
