A.N. I know the last chapter wasn't that good but that was an intro to something later in the story. I'll tell you when we get to it. So tell me your thoughts. And remember I love reviews.
Recap of last chapter:
Only a few seconds after she stopped everyone in the audience rose to clap for her. Her voice was truly beautiful. But Gabriella couldn't quite rejoice over the audience obviously loving her. She had sung that song for one person and one person only. Troy.
Gabriella's POV
It was the last day of school and the third to last lesson was finally over. As I was walking the corridor of East High, I bumped into Zeke Baylor. "Oh hey, Zeke. Can you believe that in two hours it's going to be summer?" Yep, that was right. It was almost summer time. And summer was always the best season of the year, because Troy always threw the best birthday party for me and I loved him because of that. After Zeke had nodded to my question, I threw a look at my watch and hurried up to get to my next class in time. Fortunately the whole gang was going to be there.
All my thoughts about summer and what was going to happen had brought me to the last half an hour for our school year. My thoughts were swirling from one to another, which saved me from the last thirty minutes and when I finally got out of my trance, people were shouting "summer!" Everybody pushed and shoved out of the class except Troy, Zeke, Miriam, Taylor, Chad, Sharpay and me.
"So Troy, what are we going to do this summer?" Zeke asked my best friend. Troy answered in a light tone: "Oh, the usual, you know. A birthday party for Gabby, hanging out at the mall..." Right on cue we all looked at Sharpay, the girl who had closets full of different clothes. Sharpay was also the fashion police, drama queen, and she indisputably ruled this school. "Anyway, where is Gabby's party going to be? Who's going to cook?" Cook. The thought of lots of food being presented at my birthday party turned my stomach. Troy obviously sensed my uneasiness. "I could make this the party of the year.", he was trying really hard to change the subject and it actually worked. "First, it already is the party of the year. Second, I'm the cook." Zeke felt the need to explain. Yeah, that was right. Zeke cooked. And the only reason it was the party of the year was because everyone that was popular was going to be there.
Troy's POV
It was two weeks after school had ended and summer holidays had begun and it was three more days until Gab's birthday party. Thinking of Gabs: She had been eating for a month. I was so proud of her. I had asked Zeke if he could bake the best things on his menu. I hoped she would like it.
Gabriella's POV
As I woke up this morning, I told myself that it was my birthday, which meant that I got to spend the whole day with my best friend, Troy. Knowing Troy, he might have Sharpay rent the whole mall and give me a store load of things; maybe he'd even throw the party there. I was interrupted by a text message that said "Hey babe, meet me at my house in ten. Love, Troy." The last phrase wasn't anything out of the ordinary, though I wanted it to be more than anything. Both of us often sent friendly flirt text messages to each other.
Troy's house was just down the block on Valentine Place. We only lived five houses away from each other. I walked down the street to his house and when I rang the door bell, he answered right away. What surprised me was that, when I walked into the house, there were rose pedals and candles everywhere. What was all of this? This definitely was out of the ordinary. I was shocked on how perfect everything was. I turned to Troy, searching for an explanation. He answered my unspoken question with a beaming smile and said: "This is the first part of your birthday present from me. You get to spend time with me until four o'clock."
A.N. I know this is a short chapter but hang with me. I might not get another chapter done considering that I have plans. Please review
