Once Jason had left the room, Taylor grabbed Gabi by the arm and pulled her out of the living room and into the kitchen.
"Okay spill right now." Taylor said as soon as the kitchen door was closed.
"OMG, he is the best kisser ever." She squealed as se finished the sentence.
"If you enjoyed it why did you say that it was only a dare and didn't mean anything?"
"I have no idea what I was thinking. I now totally regret saying that."
"You should have seen his face as you said that, he looked so upset." This time it was Gabriella's turn to let her face fall. Why would he be upset? I mean he's my best friend; he can't love me. Can he?
"He can't love me, he's my best friend. He's our wildcat superstar and just a geeky decathlon member it-" Taylor cut her off mid-sentence.
"And he just happens to be your best friend that is totally in love with you." Gabi nodded her head yes letting Taylor know that she still listening. "And you just happen to be in love with him too!"
"I know, but he doesn't like me let alone love me. I'm just his geeky best friend. He's probably likes Sharpay or one of the cheerleaders, but not me." As she finished she let a single tear roll down her cheek.
"Gabs, Troy is in love with you and not Sharpay or a cheerleader. He drives you to and home from school, comes to all your meets, stays over at you house like every weekend, baby-sits with you, and spends lunch and free period with you."
"So, isn't that what best friends are for." Taylor shook her head.
"In his classes he can't concentrate or pay attention because he's always staring at you. Troy plays so much better in his games when he looks up and sees you in the stands. And when you aren't around, you're all he talks about." Gabi let a few more tears roll down the side of her face. "Troy gets so upset when he sees other guys trying to flirt and ask you out."
"Really?" Her voice was shaky from her trying to hold back sobs.
"I know it kills you to think that he isn't right for you, but everyone else con see that you are." Gabriella nodded. "Now come on let's get back, we've already missed Jason's dare." The two girls walked out he kitchen door, not realizing that a minute ago someone else stood there listening to their conversations.
