Gabriella tossed another shirt to the floor. She had been trying to find an outfit since she got home. She wanted tonight to be perfect…even though she had no idea what Troy was planning. This was all new to Gabby---dating…boys…everything. She wasn't sure how to react to it all. As she tossed a blue skirt to the floor, her phone started to ring. Where was it again?

"Hello?" Gabby answered breathlessly when she had found the phone.

"Hey! What do you want to do tonight?" Taylor asked her voice happy and excited.

"Oh, hey Tay! Umm…about tonight. The thing is, I already have plans." Gabby said to her. She was slightly guilty, but she would get over it, after all, she had a date with Troy.

"You have plans? But Fridays are our Taylor and Gabriella nights." Taylor protested.

"I know…maybe we can do something tomorrow? I have to go. Call you later! Bye!" Gabby said quickly and then hung up.

"Yea…bye!" Taylor said and then hung up too. Gabby went back to finding an outfit for tonight, with every thought of guilt and Taylor being blown out of her head.

Troy was also busy deciding what to wear. This was their first date, and he didn't want anything going wrong. It was six o'clock, so he only had an hour before he had to go pick up Gabby. Troy was choosing a shirt, when his phone rang.

"Hey man! What are we doing tonight?" Chad asked.

"Listen man, I already have plans." Troy answered. He knew Chad was going to hate him, but he was going on a date with Gabriella, he didn't care about anything right now.

"What? Plans? With who?" Chad was shocked…they always hung out on Friday nights.

"Someone. I got to go. Talk to you later. Bye." Troy hung up quickly. He didn't want to answer Chad if he asked who that someone was. Troy went back to choosing his outfit.

DING! The door bell echoed through Gabriella's house. Mrs.Montez answered the door.

"Hello Troy! Come on in." She greeted, and led him inside. "Gabriella is very excited about tonight."

"Hello Mrs.Montez. I'm really excited too." Troy looked around the room and laughed nervously.

"Gabby is still upstairs. Let me get her." Mrs.Montez turned to walk up the stairs. She turned back to Troy halfway up the steps, "You just make yourself at home."

Troy went and sat down on the beige couch, and looked around the room. There were tons of pictures of Gabriella. 'Wow. She is so gorgeous.' he thought. Footsteps came from the other room. Troy looked up to see Gabriella dressed in a blue skirt with a white shirt.

"Hey." she said quietly.

"Hey." he said back, just as quiet.

"Wow. That's a wide range of vocabulary you got there." Mrs.Montez laughed. "I can hardly keep up!" she laughed again, and then walked out of the room.

"You ready to go?" Troy walked over to Gabby.

"Yes." She said. Troy took her hand, and led her to the door. "Bye Mom!" she yelled.

"Be home by 11!" her mom yelled back.

"Ok!" she answered, and with that, Troy and Gabby walked hand-in-hand out the door.
