"Stop doing that!" yelled Gabriella as her boyfriend Dean jumped out from behind a clothes rack to scare her for about the 10th time that day. The fact that Gabriella was getting mad just made it that much more fun for Dean; he loved Gabriella's "mad" face.

Gabriella and Dean had been together for as long as anyone could remember. Their mothers had been best friends since high school and figured they should start their kids off right, they had no idea what would happen. Dean and Gabriella shared their first kiss at the age of 5 and it had been smooth sailing since then.

"I'm sorry! I can't help it that I love to see that gorgeous face of yours when you're pretending to be furious with me" said Dean. "You know that you could never be mad at this baby face Ella!"

"Oh please, just grab that shirt in a small for me please" said Gabriella. "Oh and just to let you know, because of that little prank of yours, you're totally buying all this for me!" she said as she held up her armful of clothing.

"I suppose, but only because I'm the best boyfriend in the world." he said, followed by a scoff from Gabriella. "Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" he said while giving his best pouty face.

"Oh nothing, you know I can't be mad at you pooky!" she said in her best baby voice while squeezing his cheek. She knew he hated when she called him pooky, which was really the main reason she always did. Of course right after she called him this she endured a tickle attack as her punishment, which, even though she protested, she absolutely loved.

Gabriella often found herself wondering how she ever got so lucky. Most girls search their entire lives to find someone as perfect as Dean. She was certain that he would be her first and last boyfriend and the only man she'd ever love, there was no doubt in her mind at all. If she needed any kind of reinforcement, his eyes said enough for her. She had never told him this, but she could always tell when he was lying or telling the truth by the way his eyes looked. She had shared this theory with her best friend Amy a few times, but always got the same response. Amy didn't believe Gabriella. Gabriella knew that she wouldn't because her and Dean were so close, there were things only she could pick up on.

"Can we please get out of here now? We've been here for, ooooh, forever!" whined Dean. "Don't get me wrong spending the day with you is perfect, but I'd much rather be doing something else if you know what I mean…" he said as he pulled her close to his body and gave her "the eyebrow".

"Ugh! You're such a whore sometimes!" yelled Gabriella before she pushed him away and burst into laughter. "Ok fine, I just wanna buy these two shirts and we can go back to my house. I promise we can do what you want tomorrow ok boyfriend?"

"Alright, but let me buy those for you. I don't want to get looks from the checkout lady for being a bad boyfriend again." said Dean.

"Aw aren't you just adorable?" joked Gabriella "But I think you're going to have to work a little harder to impress the checkout person, he doesn't seem to be your type hun." she said as she motioned to the tall, brown haired boy up at the counter. As she said this she couldn't help but notice his eyes. They were the most piercing blue color she'd ever seen before. She quickly looked away when she realized he was staring back at her. "Ok let's go! My mom is expecting us back to help her set up in 45 minutes, so we need to hurry."

"Alright do you want to go and start the car or do you want to come up to buy these with me?" said Dean.

"I'll just come with you, how can I seriously pull myself away from a stud muffin like you?" she said as she gave him a quick kiss. "You know, I'm pretty sure if I ever saw or heard us together I'd want to shoot myself because we're so corny." She said as she giggled.

Gabriella really meant what she said, but she knew that there was another reason for her wanting to go to the checkout with him. She felt drawn to those blue eyes. She had to get a closer look.

Snap out of it! thought Gabriella You have a boyfriend! You love him, you always have and always will! Wow I'm pretty weak if a pair of bright blue eyes can make me swoon like this. Even if they are the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen AND they would totally look amazing with my eyes and… Oh my god! STOP!

Gabriella snapped out of it as soon as she heard the guy in front of her say "Your total is 25.95"

"Aw Ella I only have 20 dollars can you spot me some?" said Dean. Gabriella was about to pull out her wallet when Dean nudged her saying "Just kidding! I'm not that stupid!" They both laughed, but Gabriella noticed that while her and Dean were laughing about his joke, the checkout guy was staring at her. She locked eyes with him, but he wouldn't look away.

"Alright Ella Bella we're ready to go, come on we only have 35 minutes to get back and help your mom get ready for her opening" said Dean.

"Have a nice day, Ella Bella!" said the checkout guy as he stifled a laugh.

"Uh yeah, thanks…? I'm sorry what's your name?" said Gabriella.

"My name is Troy." He said as he extended his hand to shake hers. Dean interrupted them before they ever touched.

"Yeah and I'm Dean, her boyfriend" he said a little too defensively. "Come on Elle let's go."

Gabriella grabbed Deans hand that he held out, waiting for her to hold, and began walking towards the door. She tried hard not to turn around, but felt a force that she couldn't control willing her to just steal one more glance. As she looked back she saw Troy staring back at her. She knew he would be, but the fact that she saw him doing it made her feel strangely happy. She then realized that it was obvious what she was doing and turned her attention to Dean, squeezing his hand. They walked to the car together and Dean opened the door for her. Gabriella willed herself not to look back at the store as they pulled out of the parking lot on the way back to her house.

Her thoughts kept going back to Troy the whole way home, and by the time she got back to her house he was all she could think about. Sa-woon as Amy would say.
