Eyes still wide opened, Gabby whispered "Sharpay?" Then, suddenly all you could hear from the Montez residence was two teenage girls squealing. "How come you came back from New York?" Gabriella asked after a while. The two girls; Sharpay and Gabriella were sat crossed legged on Gabby's bed chatting and obviously she was now dressed in a pair of daisy dukes and a plain black vest. But unlike herself Sharpay was surprisingly NOT too... up there! She was wearing something VERY calm: A pretty white skirt and a baby pink tee and it was accessorised with a pretty black beady necklace. The jazziness had probably gone but the pink will always stay!

"Well... You see..." Sharpay started.

Gabriella nodded encouraging her to go on.

" Well you're mum called my mum which told my mum that you were cutting again and my mum told Ryan who told my dad who encouraged him to tell me so Ryan told me..." She said all in one breath wanting to get it over with. Sharpay knew that Gabby would want to kill her mum not but she didn't want to say anything as she knew Gabby and she would probably flip in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

"HOW DARE SHE? SAYING THAT I'M CUTTING? WELL I'M NOT! I'VE STOPPED! I HATE HER, HATE HER, HATE HEERR!" Gabriella screamed nearly shaking the whole house with her screams.

"Gabby calm down!" Sharpay insisted.

Then Gabriella shot her a look that said shut up... now! Then out of nowhere she broke down into tears falling into Sharpay's awaiting arms.

"I'm so ugly! No one loves me! Everyone just uses me, Sharpie..." She confessed.

Sharpay smiled at the old nickname before saying, "No one's using you Gabsi and of all things who said your ugly? You're damn hot! You're beautiful! Don't you see the way the boys gape at you when you walk? Heck if I ever thought of turning the other way, you'd be my first target!" Sharpay exclaimed, her hands flying all over the place.

Slowly Gabby comprehended what she just said and slowly a smile graced her face. "You really DO know how to make a person feel better, don't you?"

"No," Sharpay started making Gabriella give her a weird look.

Then Sharpay giggled. "Only you, you're my best friend, I HAVE to make you feel better!" Both girls looked at each other before bursting into fits of giggles.

"You know what this calls for? A shopping trip, to show you how beautiful you REALLY are!" Sharpay said with a large grin making Gabriella groan. But all she got in response was Sharpay pulling her by her hand out of her house and into her pink Lamborghini.

Troy Bolton arrived at the Mall, looking around the food court searching for his friend, so he could explain the showdown between Jack and himself, everyone that knew him, knew about this little 'incident'. Finally he found Chad... with some girls. 'Surprise, surprise! Chad with girls!' Troy thought to himself. Sliding his hands in his pockets he slowly strode over to Chad and his 'new' hook ups.

"Seriously we got to go to the shops Shar!" Gabriella tried to convince her. Gabriella was about to walk off – pretend to be in a strop so that Sharpay would get up and apologise to the afro headed guy that she had to hang with her best friend – till she felt a presence behind her.

"So we meet again?" The husky voice whispered into her ear. With a gasp Gabby turned around to meet those piercing blue eyes which she'd been mesmerised with the first time she saw them.

"What happened to your lip?" She whispered back, her eyes glancing down to his cut and bruised lip. As soon as she asked that question she regretted it because his eyes flashed extremely dangerously. But even though she regretted saying it she didn't flinch one bit even as his fists curled together.

"Something that you don't need to know about..."

She nodded slowly and once more she tugged at Sharpay's arm trying to get her to stop flirting with the random guy. "Hey Gabs, I'm going to chill with Chad for some time, why don't you go and hang with this guy?" Sharpay said making it sound like a question but Gabriella knew she didn't really have a say in it, so looking up hopelessly at Troy waiting for his reaction. His eyes darted from Chad to Sharpay till he finally looked at Gabriella and nodded grabbing her hand and pulling her out of the food court.


Giggling Gabby looked at Troy.

"What was the point in that?" She asked.

"Dunno... Guess I wanted to be dramatic!"

She let out another loud laugh before saying, "Should I be worried? Because I hardly know you and I let you drag me off to the fifth floor of the mall!" Taking a step back from him for the effect.

He chuckled slightly. "Oh yes, you should..." He said staring at her.

Noticing that things were about to get awkward she changed the subject. "Erm, well where do you wanna go then?"

"Well I was hoping to go to GAME, to check out that new PS3 game..." He said nervously.

She giggled, "You're such a guy!" She exclaimed before they both headed towards the shop.
