Hey! x I decided to update this story because I got nice reviews. Thank you to everyone for reviewing. Well, this chapter is kind of fluffy. Well actually it's fully fluffy. If you don't read this, you're not really missing much but there is a new character introduced.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

I'll try to update every day. Enjoy my chapter :D

It's been two weeks since Troy moved in. He's seemed to relaxed a lot. I'm glad, I didn't want him thinking he was getting in our way. It's better actually. He gets on with all my friends. Chad, Zeke, Jason and Troy always play basketball together in my back yard and Troy's going to start school next week and Chad's going to get him on the basketball team, because apparently, he's got game. Which he has. I'm not too good at what gives someone game in basketball but I know he is very good when I watch him play sometimes.

Now that Troy's here, when my mom starts going away for work again, I wont be on my own.

I lay on my bed reading Seventeen magazine when I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in," I said loudly. The door pushed open.

"Hey," he said.

"Hey," I replied.

"You wanna hang out?"

"Sure. Shopping?"

"Uh..."

"Oh come on, I wont drag you around. We can go for food every hour."

"Sounds good. I'll get ready."

"See you," I shouted as he went. I sprung up and put on a grey dress with black tights and plain black Vans.

"Can I drive?" Troy asked, as we came outside and I pulled on a black cardigan.

"Sure thing," I said, throwing the keys at him. He pushed them into the ignition and I turned up the radio.

We arrived at the mall and walked in. I linked my arm with his and he turned his head and smiled at me as we continued to walk. "Can we go in here?" I asked, gesturing to the Saks store which took up practically a third of the mall. It had eight floors. We walked in and I went straight to the mens and shoes floor. I looked at shoes and he stood with me as I surveyed several pairs of heels. I looked at him as he was staring into space. I had a pair or Uggs put behind the counter for me and we went to look at clothes for him. My mom gave us her 'fun' card to buy Troy some things. She was getting him a card set up too.

"How about this?" I said, holding up a plain black button up shirt to him.

"I like it," he said.

"Good, cause you're having it." I said, carrying it.

"What do you think of this?" I asked, showing him some ripped stone washed jeans.

"I like them too," I said, letting him feel them.

After I paid for all of his new clothes, I made him carry his bags and as interest of helping him shop, I made him carry mine too.

"Hey Gabriella," Scarlett said. Scarlett was one of the most happy (yet annoying) people going. She always wanted to know about everyones life. Infact, it was as if she needed to know about everyone's lives. How many boyfriends, how long for, how they broke up. But whenever you ask her, thats it. She wont say anything and changes the subject. Something was always strange about her.

"Oh, hey Scarlett..." I said, trying to get away.

"Who's this?" she asked, eyeing Troy up. I suddenly felt protective over him.

"This is Troy,"

"Are you dating?" she asked, not breaking eyes off Troy's blue ones. He was looking at her too. My stomach churned. Shit. Stop looking at her, she's a bitch. What did she say again? Oh yes! Dating. No.

"No," I said. "Just good friends,"

"Oh right, that's good."

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"What?"

"What do you mean by... nevermind."

"So, how long are you in town for Troy?" she asked.

"I'm living at Gabriella's for as long as it takes for me to move out."

"Okay, well we gotta go," I said, "Come on, Troy," I continued under my breath.

"Bye," Troy said.

"Bye!" she squealed.

"So I'm guessing you don't really like her?"

"Nope. Not really anyway."

"Why?" he asked.

"Does it matter?" I said, wishing he'd drop it.

"Yeah it does,"

"She's a bitch," I said.

"She's a bitch doesn't really tell me much,"

"You don't need to know."

"Gabriella, can you just tell me why you don't like her."

"Why do you need to know?" I asked, now raising my voice.

"Cause she seemed pretty nice to me." he replied, matching my volume which made me flinch.

"Probably cause you just wanted to get her into bed," I mumbled.

"What? No I don't. Whatever." he said. We continued to walk akwardly. We had unlinked arms before and I felt kind of unsafe. "When do I get my food?" he asked. I laughed. How could he just brighten up like that?

"You're awesome. Where do you wanna go?"

"Anywhere,"

We had gone into TGI Fridays for a meal. We both ordered the same, mixed grills. We began straight away on swapping our foods. He took the food that I don't like off my plate and exchanged them for stuff I did like from his. I smiled at him.

"All good?"

"You forgot the brocolli."

"I don't like that either." he said. I giggled and tucked into my food. When we were finished, we paid and went out to the car. He drove us home and we played on my Xbox 360 in my room. Well, in other words, he kicked my ass. I never really played it, however he did. I was thinking of moving it to his guest room.

"So, when are you thinking of coming to East High?" I said.

"I don't know, I'm kind of nervous."

"You have all of us. Plus your a senior with muscles and apparently you have 'game' in basketball. You'll do great."

"But once I go, I can't not go. Once I go it's back to teachers, stress, homework,"

"Fun, friends, social life, parties," I cut him off.

"I don't know if I'm ready," he said.

"Well, don't worry. You'll be greeted really nicely. I promise."

"Thanks,"

So thats my flufflicious chapter. Next chapter is going to be a starter of Troyella and also Troy's going to school. Thanks for reading. Update probably later tonight as I've already written most of chapter 3 or tommorow if I can't think or start it again. Christy xoxo
