A/N – Hey people. Glad I actually have two reviews haha…So I hope this chapter maybe gets you interested…and it is also longer then the last one. Thanks to lovetoread17 and TroyandGabriellafanFOREVER for giving me my two first reviews! Hope you like this chapter!

Gabriella got up the next morning at 11:30. Inside her head, she was screaming at herself for waking up so late. She only had an hour and a half to get ready so she could meet the gang at the mall. After Gabriella got out of bed and took a shower, she rushed out of the bathroom now only having an hour to get ready. Turning on her phone she immediately called Taylor.

"I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!" shouted Gabriella while raiding her closet of the perfect outfit.

"Yes you do." Taylor stated in a matter-of-factly way. "Any who, what's the point in getting all dressed up, we're just going to the mall."

Gabriella didn't know how to answer this. If she told Taylor about how she thought about Troy constantly, Taylor could tell Chad who wouldn't only tell Troy, but mostly likely the whole world. Not that he had a big mouth or anything.

"Well Taylor." Gabriella said sighing, "I just want to look good for my friends you know?" Gabriella closed her eyes and prayed that Taylor would believe the lie that she had just told her. She didn't really care about looking good in front of her friends unless a particular friend named Troy was going to be there. Gabriella could imagine Taylor smirking at her and saying "Are you sure you're not getting dressed up for a certain someone who you've had a crush on since you got here?" But instead Taylor answered "Whatever girl. I'll be there in 5 to help you out."

Once Taylor arrived, Gabriella had already destroyed most of her closet looking for something to wear.

"Wow." Taylor said as she was looking inside Gabriella's closet. "Someone went a little crazy in the past 5 minutes."

"Taylor! Oh thank god you're here!" Gabi said finally calming down and ignoring Taylor's last comment. She pulled Taylor into the closet desperately waiting for her to start picking things out.

"So Gabi…what's the real story on why you want to look perfect while you're at the mall?" Gabriella froze. Maybe she didn't hide how she liked Troy as well as she thought she did. Taylor stopped looking for clothes and her eyes widened. She then basically screamed "OH MY GOD! GABRIELLA MONTEZ SPILL!" Gabi had nothing else to do but tell her best friend the truth.

"Well…I sort of…kind of…haveacrushonTroy." She said, turning red while doing so. She told Taylor about how she was always thinking about Troy and imagining how she wanted to be his and how she wanted to be the only one for him. Turning as red as she could possibly be, she turned to Taylor and made her promise to not tell anyone. Taylor had then run to Gabriella to give her a hug.

"I promise." Taylor answered back. Tay had then run back to the spot where she was standing at before and started taking some clothes of their hangers. 10 minutes later, Gabriella was wearing a baby blue tee with a white skirt that covered a little more then half of her thighs, had her wavy hair down, and had some bracelets and a matching purse to top it off.

"You're gorgeous!" Taylor exclaimed in a really excited voice. "Lets just get you a pair of white slippers and we're on our way!" Taylor and Gabriella left the house and got into the car. Taylor instantly started to talk about Troy.

"So should I ask Chad to ask Troy to ask you out?" Taylor asked excitingly. Chad and Tay had started going out a couple of hours after Troy and Gabriella had sung 'Breaking Free.' Since then, they were inseparable and told each other everything which was exactly what Gabriella was afraid of.

"Taylor! You promised you wouldn't tell anyone!"

"Well, technically, I'm not telling anyone. I could just ask Chad to ask Troy if he likes you and that if he does, he should ask you out." Taylor responded calmly.

"Taylor! That's basically telling him! You can't! Please?" Gabriella begged. "I can't have people knowing that I like Troy while there is a pretty slim chance that he likes me back." She added. Taylor agreed to not tell Chad and whispered under her breath, "Wow…those two kids really are blind." and continued driving to the mall.

Once at the mall, Gabriella and Taylor got out of the car and headed inside. Once inside, Taylor had stopped. "Shoot. I forgot my phone in the car. The gang is going to be at the food court, and I'm gonna go get my phone and then I'll meet you guys there." Gabriella nodded stating that it was ok and went towards the food court while Taylor went outside. The minute she stepped outside, she looked back making sure Gabriella didn't come after her and opened her purse to take her phone out. She looked back once more and then called Chad.

"Ok, she's heading up to the food court right now and I'm about to leave. Did you leave Troy yet?" Taylor asked.

"As a matter of fact, I did, but turn around." Taylor turned around and was surprisingly met by Chad's lips. Once they stopped kissing, Chad ruined the moment and said "Well, we should get going now before they come out and start to look for us. I'll meet you at your house with the rest of the gang." Taylor nodded and was about to kiss Chad again and right as she was about to, she decided to tease him. Their lips were so close that she could feel Chad's breathe and right when they were going to kiss, she pulled away and said, "Kay Chad. I'll see you at my place! Love you! Bye!" She got into her car and drove away leaving Chad to stand there being mad at how she had just pulled away from what could have been an amazing kiss. Then again, he was so happy that he had her as his girlfriend, and as he slowly started to walk towards his car, a broad smile started to appear on his face. He knew that he definitely loved her.
