The Kiss that Ruined Everything
(A/N: OK, this is my friend, Sarah's idea, not mine. It's a really good story, trust me! Please be kind in reviews!)
Gabriella's POV:
I was walking home from school, humming since it was Friday. It was the start of the weekend. I opened the door to the house and found my mother in the living room with a serious look on her face. I was just a bit nervous. I sat down and said hi. Mom looked at me and cleared her throat. "I have some news," she said, "I'm getting transferred." I was in pure shock. "What? When? Where?"
"Relax. We're going to move during the summer, to New York." I thought about it for a few seconds. There's a lot of shopping and things to do in New York. Wait, New York? "Mom! That's like halfway across the country. Why there?"
"That's where I'm needed. The house is already on the market. So, that's that. I'm sorry."
"It's alright. I'm fine, really." I was lying but I was used to it. I walked out the front door and to my friend Taylor McKessie's house. I rang the doorbell. Mr. McKessie answered the door. "Hi. Is Taylor home?"
"No. She's with Chad. I'll tell her you came, Gabriella."
"OK, thanks. Bye."
"Bye." I felt horrible. I should have called her to see if she was home. I started walking to Ryan Evans' house. He was my third best friend beside Taylor and Troy Bolton, my boyfriend. (A/N: In the movie, they're not friends, this story, there are.) I'm surprised I got to his house because my eyes were filled with tears. I rang the doorbell and Ryan answered the door. "Hey Gabi. What's wrong?"
"I'll tell you." I sat down on the couch and Ryan joined me. He grabbed a bag of potato chips from behind the couch and opened them. He looked at me and offered the bag. I took some and took a deep breath.
Ryan's POV:
I was doing my homework when the doorbell rang. I shut the book glad for an excuse to get out of Science homework. I opened the door and found Gabriella Montez outside, close to tears. "Hey Gabi, what's wrong?" She looked at me for a second. "It's horrible. Awful. Scary. Not fair."
I thought she was gonna say something weird like some celeb died or her favorite eye shadow color was going to be discontinued. "I'm-moving-to-New-York-at-the-beginning-of-summer," Gabriella said quickly. "It'll be alright. Maybe you won't move and you'll be fine," I said, trying to sound convincing. Yeah, right. She'll probably move. Maybe, I should tell her. . .
"Ryan?"
"Hmm?"
"You're staring at me."
"Sorry. Didn't mean to," I said, embarrassed. I grabbed some chips and stuffed them in my mouth. "Well, it's not like your mom would move without you."
"True, but I don't wanna move. I mean, I've got Troy and Taylor and you, of course, and everyone else." Gabi whined. "Wait, your mom might change her mind and not move."
"I wish, but not gonna happen. The house is up for sale." Gabi said, sighing. I put my arm around her shoulders and hugged her. "You're a great guy, Ryan." She whispered. Before I knew it, she was leaning closer to me and she was kissing me. And to my greater surprise, I kissed her back.
(A/N: Gabi kissed Ryan?!?!? Oh, no, what will happen next! OK, I'm over acting... I know what happens next, I can't tell, though. Review please!)
