Chapter 2
"I don't like Jason. At least not as Gabi's husband. She needs someone better." He's interferring again? He just doens't stop! "I know that you still love her." Talk about being blunt.
"As a friend. Sure." He snorted. Great. I wonder what he's gonna say now.
"Whatever. If you didn't love her, then why did you lie about being happy for her? Why'd you listen to her conversation?" He had a point. I was silent. "I know that she still loves you." Did she say something? I hope so. "She never takes off the necklace you gave her." My eyes traveled and looked at Gabriella's neck. There it was. The very same gold key necklace I gave her five years ago.
"She kept that because I told her too. Whatever happened between us, she promised to keep it." Ha! Beat that reasoning. Oh, that's right...you can't. BOO YA!!
"Yeah, but she never promised to wear it all the time." I guess he could beat my reasons. "She also didn't tell lover boy about you."
"That's because she really likes him and didn't want to tell him because he'd get jealous. She loves him." For some reason...my mouth went dry when I said that. Weird.
"She also still only lets you call her Gabi."
"Maybe he's never tried to call ger that." Stupid reason, I know. It's worth a try. He gave me a 'be serious' smirk. I think he might like me.
"I still think she's making a mistake. When you realize that you can't live without her, then come find me. Leslie and I are going out with the adults. We're leaving all you crazy kids here." With that, Johnny, Leslie, my parents, Ricky, Alex, and Ms. Montez all left. We all went back to having our conversations. Until...Chad had an idea.
"Let's play Truth or Dare!" Leave it to Chad to suggest that game.
"Chad, that game is for teenagers. We should just talk." I suggest. Most nod in agreement.
"Come on! It'll be fun. Besides, it'll be a great way for us to get to know each other again. To see what everyone crazy enough to do. I agree with Chad." Gabriella, answered. Eveyone else shrugged and sat down to play. I reluctantly joined them.
"Okay, I'll go first." Chad says,. "Sharpay. Truth or dare?" Shar pondered a minute and then answered truth. "Do you want to marry Zeke?"
"Of course! He's an awesome cook." She answered simply. I think Chad meant for her to say something more romantic, but Zeke seemed satisfied. "My turn! Taylor!" Tay groaned when Sharpay said her name.
"Truth!" She answered quickly.
"What is the craziest college expirence you've had?"
"Umm...I got drunk and ended up in Las Vegas."
"Didn't you go to school in Florada?" I asked. Chad's been telling me many stories.
"It was Spring Break." Interesting. "I pick...Gabriella."
"I pick dare. I'm not a chicken." I start laughing. She smirks...that can't be good.
"Well, I dare you to make-out with Troy." He is where my laugh stops. Gabriella looks my way and looks at Taylor. She then shrugs.
"It's only a dare." She walks over and places her lips onto mine. I felt a chill go down my spine. A good one. As if it was normal, pressed my tounge against her soft, luscious lips. Cherry lip gloss, nice choice. She opens her mouth, and our tounges are playing tag. I put my arms around her waist and pull her closer. She giggles and smiles against my lips.
"We're still here." Zeke jokes. We brake away, and the taste of her lip gloss is still there. She'd definitely become a better kisser than before. The way she licked her lips made my heart skip a beat. I wouldn't mind dating her again. Especially the way she...What am I saying?! I can't think things like that. Shake the thoughts Troy! "I think we've lost Troy." Zeke laughs. I snap back to reality and try to focus. The kiss is still replaying in my mind. Gabriella walked back over to Jason and sat in his lap.
"I pick Jason. Truth or Dare?" Gabriella asked.
"I pick dare too." What would she make him do?
"I dare you to tell everyone in here how you proposed to me." Mushy stuff.
"Well, I took her to a basketball game," Her favorite sport..."during half-time, they showed the question on the screen..Gabriella screamed so loud. She jumped up and down for ten minutes befor actually answering yes." Gabi leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "That was the happiest day of my life." Gabriella kissed him on the lips this time. A mushy story, with a mushy ending. Just peachy. "I guess its my turn to ask. Troy, truth or dare?" Ok, so he's expecting me to pick dare, because he know's I know that he's gonna want me to pick dare, but because I know that he wants me to pick dare, I'm gonna pick truth.
"Truth." I say confidently. He smirked.
"I wanted you to pick that." Curse me for thinking too hard. "Did you and Gabriella ever date?" I really hate the title of the game. Truth or Dare. What am I supposed to do? "Troy? We're waiting." I looked over to Gabi, and her eyes are pleading not to tell me anything. "What are you waiting for? Are you hiding something?" Right about now, he was getting on my last nerve. "Come on. Tell the truth. I won't be mad. It's just a game."
"Yes! God! We dated okay!? Now will you stop talking?!" I exploded. I couldn't take it anymore. I stopped when I realized what I said. Quick, change the subject. "Chad I dare you to kiss Zeke." I stole Gabi's dare from five years ago. It was the only thing in my head.
"Why do you people always make me kiss him?! Is it some kind of joke?" He yelled.
"Just do it!" I yelled. I looked at Gabriella, and she looked away. She refused to look me in the eye. Jason wasn't looking at her. He just turned away. What made him ask that question? Didn't he trust Gabi? Chad vigirously wiped his mouth after kissing Zeke. "I think I'm gonna head out." I leave my seat and Gabriella follows.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"DID YOU HAVE TO TELL HIM?!" She yelled once we were safely in the house. I didn't want todeal with this. I kept walking. She reached out and grabbed my arm. I turned around sharply and looked her in the eye.
"Gabriella, shouldn't you be getting mad at him for not trusting you? He's the one that asked the question!" I shot back. She sighed in frustration and ran her hands through her hair.
"Why? Why now? Not when everything is supposed to be good! He wasn't supposed to find out!" Gabriella took a small pillow from the couch and screamed into it. I had to do something. I hate to see her upset...but mostly because she's scaring me.
"Gabi, how long have you been together?" She looked at me like I was stupid. "I have a point to this. I promise."
"A year and a half."
"Don't you think that your relationship can last over one little secret?" She didn't answer. I pushed on. "Gabi, if he really loves you, he'll get over it." She smiled and engulfed me in a hug. I wrapped my arms around her. I made sure that I held her close. Was I holding her too close? She didn't complain, so neither did I.
"Thanks Troy. Have a good night." She whispered softly into my ear. I released her. Suddenly, I felt cold. Maybe because her body was no longer pressed against mine, so I didn't feel as much heat. I don't understand. I felt perfectly fine before we hugged. What's happening? "I'm gonna talk to him about everything tonight."
"Bye Gabi." She gives me a peck on the cheek and retreats back to the yard. I touch the spot where she kissed me. I can still feel the smooth texture of her lips on my cheek. What is wrong with you Troy? Why are you still thinking about it? It was just on the cheek. Snap out of it. I walk to my car and head on home.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's 3 a.m. Why in the world would someone be knocking on my door at 3 a.m.? Because they want to see mean, evil, bad breath, tired Troy. I walk wearily down to the front door. As I look out at the front porch, I'm surprised at who I see. "Gabriella?" I breathed out. She looked absolutely miserable. Her make-up was running, her hair was a mess. "Gabriella...what are you doing here?"
"Troysie-poo! I'm 'oo glad to 'ee you!" She slurred while, jumping up and flinging her arms around my shoulders. Troysie-poo? The last time she called me that was...when she was drunk. "How are you?" Sure enough, her breath smelled of alcohol.
"Gabi, have you been drinking?" She giggled.
"Maybe just a little." A little my aunt Mary(hehe).
"Come on." Trying to walk Gabi up the stairs wasn't working. I brought her into my arms bridal style and carried her to my room. Placing her on the bed, I noticed she'd already fell asleep. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to talk to her. I pulled the covers over her and laid down on the floor. Since when did Gabriella start drinking? Is it a problem? What happened between her and Jason? Most importantly...why can't I stop thinking about that stupid truth or dare game? I sighed and closed my eyes. Hopefully, more sleep will clear my thoughts.
