Okay so I don't have a title yet, hence the very clever title I'm using. Hope you enjoy the story though :)
One year had passed since Gabriella and Sharpay had split. Gabriella had moved back home to San Diego with her mom. She had put her degree to use, and began working at a very well known law firm in San Diego. She was know one of the top lawyers in all of California.
All aspects of her life were going better than they ever had been. All except one part of her life; her love life. She had tried dating people since the split, but she could never stop thinking about the blonde.
So many times she been so close to calling Sharpay, but she hadn't. Both girls were very stubborn and neither wanted to be the first to call the other. Gabriella also didn't want to hear how well Sharpay's life was going. She probably had another girlfriend, and was completely in love.
Gabriella walked up the sidewalk to her house, stopping when she reached the mailbox. She opened it up and pulled all the mail out, flipping through it as she continued walking into the house.
Gabriella stopped abruptly when she came across a letter from Michelle. She quickly made her way into the house, throwing all the mail onto the table, except the one from Michelle. She sat down, tearing open the letter pulling it out.
Gabriella's eyes moved quickly across the letter, reading each word. It was Michelle and Sam's wedding invitation. They were getting married in Hawaii and were flying all their friends out to witness it.
Gabriella smiled softly looking at the picture of the two of them together that was attached to the invitation. She was so happy for them. She couldn't wait to so and see them get married, but wait. 'Would Sharpay be there? Of course she would be. Why wouldn't she?'
"Hey!" Stella says, walking up behind the brunette, making her jump, almost falling out of her chair.
"Mom! You scared me!" Gabriella says, breathing heavily.
"Sorry baby, what's up?" She asks, sitting across from her daughter. Gabriella doesn't say anything, just hands her mother the invitation. "Oh yeah I know it's great isn't it." She says with a smile.
"How did you know?" Gabriella asks confused.
"Michelle called me last week, asking me if I would give her away. You know her and her parents don't speak, and she said I've been like a mother to her." Stella explains making Gabriella nod.
"So you're coming?" Gabriella asks, making her mother nod.
"Yeah, but not until the day of. I couldn't get out of work." She says making the brunette nod once again. "Why aren't you happy? They're your best friends." Stella says, looking curiously at her daughter.
"I know and I am. I just...I don't know." Gabriella lies. She didn't want to talk about the Sharpay thing to her mother right now.
"You're worried about seeing Sharpay?" Stella asks, already knowing the answer.
"Yeah. How'd you know?" Gabriella asks amazed. Although she should have seen it coming. Her mother knew her better than anyone.
"Mothers instinct. But look maybe it will be good for you to see her again. Maybe you guys can get back together now." Stella suggests making the brunette shake her head.
"Mom it's not that simple. Plus it's been a year. I'm sure she's moved on." Gabriella says, sadly. As much as she hoped the blonde hadn't moved on she knew she probably had.
"You never know Gabby. You girls just need to talk. You have a lot to discuss." She says, getting up from the table, leaving the brunette alone with her thoughts.
GabriellaXSharpay
"Look at this!" Sharpay says loudly, throwing a piece of paper on Kelsi's lap as she enters a recording studio.
Sharpay had quit Stripping and was actually using her talents. She had been on 3 Broadway shows and was now working with Kelsi, recording her first album. She was doing extremely well and her life had definitely picked up.
"Michelle and Sam are getting married next week?! That's awesome!" Kelsi says, excitedly. "Why are you happy?" She asks, looking at the blonde's frustrated face.
"Gabriella is going to be there!" She says as she begins pacing the room. "I mean I can't face her Kelsi! What if she like brings some really hot date! What if she's married!?" Sharpay shouts, beginning to panic.
"First of all calm down." Kelsi says slowly. "Sharpay I doubt she's married and anyways you guys broke up a year ago. If she has a girlfriend or boyfriend, there is nothing you can do." Kelsi says, making the blonde glare at her.
"Kelsi you have to come with me!" Sharpay says, making Kelsi shake her head. "Come one! It says I can bring a date! Be my date!" She says.
"I don't know how my wife would feel about that." Kelsi says, laughing.
"Oh come on Tyler loves me." Sharpay replies, sitting down next to her.
"Sharpay I can't. Your going to be gone for a week. I can't leave Tyler for that long. She's pregnant." Kelsi says, making the blonde sigh.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." The blonde replies, with a smile. "What am I going to do?" She asks, calmly looking at the brunette.
"You go and see your best friends get married and don't let seeing Gabriella ruin it. It's their big day Sharpay. Don't ruin it for them." Kelsi says, knowing Sharpay could be a drama queen sometimes.
"Yeah your right." Sharpay says agreeing.
"Besides, maybe this is fate bringing you guys back together." Kelsi says making the blonde sigh.
"I wish." She replies, before standing up. "Okay let's get this album finished." she says, pulling Kelsi up.
GabriellaXSharpay
A week later, Gabriella walked into the hotel she would be staying at in Hawaii. She smiled when she saw Michelle and Sam sitting in the lobby, cuddling and talking with each other.
She walked up behind them, wrapping her arms around Michelle's neck, scaring her. "Oh my god Gabriella don't do that." Michelle pants, turning to see her best friend.
Gabriella just laughs, as Michelle gets up and hugs her. "Sorry. Hey Sam." She says, giving Sam a hug also.
"Hey." Sam replies, pulling out of the hug. "Who's this?" they ask, referring the brunette who had been quietly standing behind Gabriella.
"Oh! This is Corrie. She works at the firm with me." She says as the brunette smiles at the couple.
"Congratulations." Corrie says, making the couple smile and say thank you.
"Is Sharpay here?" Gabriella asks nervously, looking around the lobby.
"No but she should be here any minute." Sam replies, making the brunette nod.
"I'm here!" Sharpay announces walking into the lobby. She quickly runs over hugging Sam and Michelle, not yet noticing Gabriella's presence.
"Hey Sharpay." Gabriella says, quietly making the blonde turn around.
"Hey." The blonde says, softly. The two girls just stared at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Oh um this is Corrie." Gabriella says, pulling corrie, up beside her.
"Oh hey, I'm Sharpay." Sharpay replies, offering Corrie a fake smile. "So Gabriella how have you been?" she asks, ignoring Corrie.
"I've been great...how have you been?" Gabriella lies. Sure she had a great job, but she had been miserable without the blonde in her life, but of course she couldn't let her know that.
"Absolutely amazing." Sharpay also lies, as she plasters a big, fake smile across her face. "I have a girlfriend." She blurts out, eyeing Corrie once again.
"Oh really?" Gabriella asks, trying to disguise her disappointment. Her heart felt like it had just shattered. All hopes of them getting back together were now out the window. "Is she here?" Gabriella asks, hoping the answer was no.
"Umm she's coming tomorrow." Sharpay says, quickly. "She's an actress and she just couldn't get out of work until tomorrow. Working on a big movie you know?" She adds making the brunette nod.
"Oh an actress? Anything we may have seen her in?" Corrie asks, making the blonde glare over in her direction.
"Probably not she's in mainly independent films, but she's going to be big I know it." Sharpay says, making them nod.
"Okay well...can't wait to meet her." Gabriella says, mustering up a small smile, before grabbing Corrie and pulling her away from the blonde.
"So that's the ex?" Corrie asks, making the brunette nod. "She's beautiful." She adds making the brunette nod once again, turning to look at the blonde bombshell, who was busy talking on her phone. Probably her girlfriend.
"Yeah she is, her girlfriend is really lucky." Gabriella says, sadly, leaving Corrie as she walked up to the front desk.
"Right." Corrie says to herself, eyeing the blonde. Something was off with her and she knew it. She quickly brushed off, rushing to the brunette's side at the counter.
"Kelsi?!" Sharpay asks, panicked, as she walked towards the elevator. "I did something stupid." She says, as she steps into the elevator, as the doors close behind her.
"What did you do?" Kelsi asks, sighing. She had only been there for what half an hour and she already screwed up?
"I told Gabriella I had a girlfriend and that she was flying out here tomorrow." Sharpay says, making the brunette sigh once again.
"Why would you do that Sharpay!?" Kelsi finally asks.
"I don't know I mean Gabriella brought her girlfriend and she's totally hot and I just got jealous it just slipped out."
"Well only one thing you can do now." Kelsi says, making the blonde listen closely. "Find yourself a girlfriend." She adds, making a curious face, grow on the blondes face.
"How do I do that Kelsi?"
"You're hot. Go to a club find someone who will agree to be your girlfriend for a couple of days, pay them if you have to." She says, making the blonde sigh.
"Fine." Sharpay sighs, as she steps off the elevator. "I guess I'm going out tonight." Sharpay adds, before hanging up her phone, walking towards her hotel room to get ready to go out.
GabriellaXSharpay
"Knock Knock." Gabriella says, before easing Michelle and Sam's door open, revealing the two cuddled up on their bed. "Hey guys sorry to interrupt." She adds, walking into the room.
"It's okay, what's up?" Michelle asks, looking at her friend.
"I wanted to talk to you about Sharpay's girlfriend." Gabriella says, sitting on the bed as Michelle and Sam give Gabriella confused looks.
"What girlfriend?" Sam asks, clearly confused. "She doesn't have a girlfriend." Sam adds making Gabriella, now give them confused looks.
"But she said that she did, and that she was flying in tomorrow. She's an actress." Gabriella says, making them look at each other.
"She's lying out her ass." Michelle says, making Sam nod
"Unless she just didn't tell us about her, but last we checked she was single. She probably just said that to make you jealous." Sam adds making the brunette nod. It did sound like something Sharpay would do.
"So nobody is coming tomorrow?" Gabriella asks, making them shake their heads. "This will be interesting." She adds, getting off the bed. "Well I'll leave you two alone, see you later." She says walking out the door.
GabriellaXSharpay
Sharpay walked into a gay club that she had found and it was packed. There were people dancing everywhere. She was sure that they had exceeded the limitations of people that could fit inside. This was good though. The more people the better she had a chance of finding someone.
She walked around the club searching for that perfect someone. She had a few girls try dancing up on her, but none of them even compared to Gabriella. She couldn't bring some trashy slut back and make Gabriella jealous. She had to be classy.
She was about to give up when she saw a brunette sitting on a couch in the far corner, reading a book. Sharpay stepped closer to her to get a better look. She had long dark brown curly hair, and looked Hispanic. 'Who can read in a place like this?' she wonders to herself.
"Hey." Sharpay says, making the girl look up at her. She had dark chocolate eyes, that Sharpay could get lost in.
"Hi." The girl replied, softly before looking down at her book. Sharpay sat down beside her and tried talking to her again.
"I'm Sharpay." She says, making the brunette look at her once again. "What's your name?"
"Isabella." she says, making Sharpay give her a weird look.
"Did you say Gabriella?" she asks.
"No. Isabella." She corrects.
"Oh, that's a beautiful name." She says, making the brunette offer her a small smile. "So how do you read in a place like this?" she asks.
"I just tune everyone out. I don't really want to be here, my best friend drug me here." she says, pointing to a blonde who was making out with some girl on the dance floor.
"Oh I see. You want to get out of here?" Sharpay asks, making her shake her head.
"I don't know...."
"I'm not meaning go back to my place. Just get out of here, it's way too loud. It's not your scene, and honestly it's not mine either." She says making the brunette still look skeptically at her. "I won't kill you I promise." she says, making the brunette giggle.
"Okay." she says, finally, nodding her head. "Just let me go tell my friend." she says, looking over at her. "Actually I don't think she'll miss me." she says, making the blonde laugh.
"Okay, come on." Sharpay says, grabbing her hand, pulling her out of the club.
