Chapter 4

All the three's girls jaws dropped open

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Nobody's POV)

Gabriella slowly walked out of her closet with her face looking extremely nervous.

"Oh" started Sharpay

"My" continued Taylor

"G--"squealed Kelsi "you look absolutely amazing

Gabriella was wearing a short white mini-skirt and a white top. (Pictures in profile) Her shoes were very high wedges. In other words she looked absolutely stunning. All the girls faces were smiling as they grabbed their coats which they had laid carefully out on Gabriella's bed along with their oversized clutch bags. The walked carefully down the stairs being careful not to fall over. They called out to Gabriella's parents that they were leaving and they began the walk to the club. It only took the girls around 10 minutes to get there so their feet weren't hurting too bad yet.

Suddenly all fours girls stopped outside a garage door, you could here the loud music playing behind it and the door was vibrating ever so slightly. Gabriella walked to the side of the door where a key-pad was and pressed in the code: 7945. The doors began to creak and then slowly but surely the doors began to rise. The street was then flooded with 'Low by Flo Rida'. The girls walked inside as the doors slowly closed behind them.

"Hey, hey, hey, my girls have arrived" an African American walked over towards them clutching a beer in one hand and his arm around the shoulder of a girl. His hand was delicately draped across her breast as she clung onto it for dear life. Not even letting go when they arrived in front of the girls.

"Hey Pete" Gabriella rushed forwards and gave him a hug "how's my favourite guy doing"

"He's doing good, Gabs" he replied laughing

"Hey Pete" the other girls chorused from behind Gabriella

"Well, aren't you all gonna come over here and give your big bro Pete a hug"

The girls walked forward as Pete told the girl under his arm to go and dance with her friends. Pete then hugged each girl individually commenting on how good they all looked.

"Well, Gabs. Tonight" he started off. Everyone around Gabs began laughing as they saw the expression on her face "guess whose got you a race"

"Awwww, Pete you didn't need to" Gabriella cried jumping up and down clapping her hands.

"Awwww, but I did you need to go test out those new tyres which I just spent ages putting on for you out" Pete said smiling

Gabriella ran towards her garage and opened it with her keys. She ran towards her car running her hand up the bonnet lovingly as she checked out the tyres.

"OI, PETE" she yelled across the garage. Everyone turned to look at her "When can I take my baby out"

"right now if you want" he replied grinning.

Everyone in the garage cheered, they loved watching Gabriella racing as she was very talented. They all rushed out of the back doors of the garage and surrounded the sides of the "track" which was set out. The crowd let out another loud cheer as a quiet motor was heard behind them and then a horn was heard. Gabriella drove out of the garage slowly watching to make sure that she didn't hit anyone or thing as she came out of the garage. She drove to the starting line and began to have a conversation with the go-girl Samantha who was starting the race tonight.

Then suddenly everyone in the crowd went quiet. Another car drove out and it had a girl called Helen in. Gabriella had no idea who Helen was or how she raced or whether she was any good. The crowd knew that Helen was new and was very very cocky with her racing. It didn't help that she had won all her races she had raced so far and that she had a good car. What Helen didn't know was that she was racing one of top racers in Albuquerque. The crowd began to laugh to themselves as they saw Helen smirking towards Gabriella. The laughed even harder when Gabriella stuck her fingers up. Helen turned away stony faced and stared straight ahead.

Samantha walked forwards towards Helen and told her good luck through the window. She then promptly walked over to Gabriella and told her to straighten Helen out a bit. Gabriella burst out laughing. Samantha looked towards Helen who nodded her head and carried on staring straight ahead. She walked back to where she started the race and looked at Gabriella who nodded in reply.

"Racers, get ready" Samantha called loudly "Go" she cried

Gabriella pushed the accelerator down hard, she turned her steering wheel so she avoided the go-girl and began to accelerate down the track. Meanwhile Helen was grinning to herself thinking that she would win this race no problem. She smirked to herself thinking of the girl who she racing's face when she was beaten by a huge distance. As she sat there, a car flew past her. Helen's smirk quickly turned into a frown. Helen stomped on her accelerator as her car slowly got faster, she then began to get angrier and angrier as she couldn't catch Gabriella up in her car. Gabriella looked in her rear view mirror and all she could see was dust as she had left Helen's car behind long ago.

"Gabriella wins" shouted the go-girl Samantha

About 30 seconds later Helen pulled up in her car. She got out of the car and slammed the door as everyone stared at her.

"That was totally fixed" she screeched

"Girl, you can't just stand that somebody is better than you" smiled Gabriella "way better"

Helen stomped off muttering to herself. Pete came up to Gabriella.

"My baby's back" he said smiling

"Oh, yeah" replied Gabriella grinning "she's back for good"

The whole crowd cheered. Gabriella hadn't been back for about two months. This was because her dad had died. Her mum had then meet somebody else at a grievance meeting and promptly got married again. This lead to her new step-dad. Steve. Gabriella really liked Steve. She knew he could never replace her real dad and he knew and accepted that. Steve also knew that Gabriella saw him as a father-figure and could go to him to ask for advice or anything.

Gabriella waved to her three friends who were sitting on couches inside with glasses in their hands. She slowly walked over to them talking to one of the girls who she hadn't seen for ages as she went.

"Well, girly girls, did you think that that was a good race" Gabi asked

"Of course" they replied "since when haven't you had a good race"

"Well since" she paused

"Gabi" Taylor shrieked "it's our favourite song, lets dance"

Taylor grabbed her hand and pulled her roughly over to the dance floor where they both began dancing with each other.

"Come on then Pay, lets go join them" sighed Kelsi dramatically

"I know, such a chore to go and dance to our favourite song" Sharpay sighed dramatically smiling

"Let's go dance" squealed Kelsi grabbing Sharpay's hand and dragging her onto the dance floor.

"It's ok Gabriella, don't worry. Pete will take care off your car for you and put it away" laughed Pete mockingly as he came over to where the girls were dancing.

"Thank you Pete" laughed Gabriella

"Anytime baby" Pete flirted back jokingly

"Are you flirting with me Pete, what will you girl-friend think" Gabriella gasped

"What will Pete's girl-friend think" asked Samantha giggling

Pete and Samantha had being going out for around two years now. Samantha knew that Pete was like a big brother to Gabi and the girls and knew that he would never cheat on her with anyone. Pete was the guy that every girl dreams off. Except throw in a bit of motor racing and a dash of "buying" stuff into the goody bag as well. Samantha's excuse for this was "Us girls need a little bit of fun don't we"

"Samantha, your boy-friend here has just been flirting with me" smirked Gabriella

"How could you baby" Samantha fake cried "I thought you loved me" she walked off

"Baby, I wasn't cheating" Pete ran after her looking worried "I would never cheat on you" He paused "Gabriella was coming on to me"

"Don't bring me into this" Gabriella snorted

"Yeah, don't bring Gabriella into this" cried Samantha

The other girls meanwhile were standing around laughing. They knew this was all a big game. The only person who didn't looked to be… Pete.

"But baby, it wasn't my fault" Pete worriedly said to Samantha

"Baby I know, I'm just playing you" laughed Samantha

"Thank God" Pete breathed a sigh of relief

"Well, me and the girls must be getting back, we got school tomorrow" laughed Gabriella "come on girlies"

All four of them trooped out and began the walk back to Gabriella's house.

"That was a good night girls" Kelsi said tiredly

"yeah" the other three yawned

They reached Gabriella's house, they walked in and headed quietly up the stairs to her room. When they got their they began to get their PJs on. These consisted off short shorts and very tight tank-tops. Because Gabriella was very rich, room was very big and her friends stayed over very often, they all had their own individual beds in a certain point in the room. The girls climbed into their beds and were asleep instantly.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

"Knock it off" mumbled Kelsi

"I second that" whispered Taylor

"I third that" said Sharpay sleepily

Gabriella hit of the alarm and told the girls that she was heading downstairs to begin making breakfast. As she was in the kitchen the doorbell rang.

"I got it" she called

She opened the door singing to herself and examining her fluffy slippers. She looked up when the person at the door didn't say anything

"What the hell are you doing here" she shrieked

All the other girls came running downstairs and stared out the front door at the surprise visitor or visitors.
