Gabriella sat on the couch watching Troy go round and round with different women as they danced. She thought in his own way he might actually be sincere but with the woman running around here she just stood by the side lines.
"Ladies." A voice from the top of the stairs came in and she looked up at Becky who was standing at the top of the stairs. "It is time for the first Elimination place bid adieu to Mr. Bolton as he now has a very difficult decision to make."
Troy released the girl named Carmen but before he could she kissed up on the lips and Troy backed away every bit surprised.
Confession scene
"My parents always told me that I would meet the man of my dreams one day and I feel as though I have." Carmen said with a wide smile. "I feel very confident that I'm going to make it past tonight, but I do one girl who should be shaking in her boots."
Carmen smirked. And the screen faded out. In comes Jordan wearing a purple dress with lot of sequence on it as she appeared on the screen.
Shaking her head she leaned back more comfortable. "She didn't even try, I mean come on sweetie this is a competition. I don't know what she was thinking but just brought her ticket out." She said with a smile.
Jordan nodded and faded out while Gabriella appeared on the screen.
"Yeah whatever I heard the whispers, big deal I'm not popular something tells me I'll live without the acceptance of a few bimbos." Gabriella shook her head and looked off to the side. "It like we got zapped back into preschool or something."
Gabriella stood in her spot by between Jordan and Jenna. Both girls looked at her with a cautious look. Gabriella felt odd as she stood there letting the makeup people do their thing. Right as they left the girls began to chatter between themselves offering hope and words of Prayer Gabriella didn't really know what to say so she stood quiet until Jenna leaned over and spoke.
"You know you might be going home tonight right." She said looking at Gabriella with sympathy
"I'm counting on it." Gabriella said with a smile.
Jordan looked at Gabriella and rolled her eyes. "What you don't like him, I mean come strong blue eyed sandy brown boys aren't you thing?" She said with a laugh. "He's a god." She said with a laugh.
Gabriella was about to respond when Becky appeared again before them.
"Ladies I want you to brace yourself for tonight coming event." She said with a smile. Troy will be handing you a special necklace with a charm on it in the shape of a T. when you are offered one please let him place it around your neck and return to your spot." She said with a smile.
There was a mummer of understanding as Becky left the room and Troy came back into view. He stood by the stool holding up the cases for the necklaces.
"Are we ready Ladies."Brad said coming on to the set. "I want to see smiles and no tears I just want sexy smiles." He said holding up his hand. "And three, Two." Silently he said one backing out of the scene and Gabriella rolled her eyes at the idea of selling sexy when most of these women would probably kill if they were selected.
Troy smiled as Becky explained the rules and to the people at home. As soon as she was done he stood by the case and smiled. This was the moment for Troy to make the big decision for five females to go home.
"Tyler."
The blond smiled as she came up to Troy and he placed the Necklace around her neck. Gabriella smirked as she watched the blond give him a kiss on the cheek.
"Esha"
This was going to be a long time. Gabriella thought as she looked at walls above them and then at the cameras that were pointed back at her.
"Stop looking at the Camera." Jordan whispered.
"Are you watching me?" she whispered back.
"Carmen."
"No." she whispered back.
"Samantha"
"Then how do you know what I'm doing?" Gabriella whispered back with a smile.
"Jordan."
"Oh my god." She shrieked and made her way down through the people. Gabriella watched as she went up for her necklace.
Confession scene
Jordan smiled as she held up her necklace. "Yeah baby when he called my name it was like the heavens opened up." She said with a smile. "not even that Ella girl could stop me." Jordan flipped her hair. "Believe me she so tried it's not even funny."
"Crystal."
Gabriella moved to let Jordan though. "Feel better now that you have necklace to prove you worth and value." She whispered.
"Victoria."
"Your just jealous because you're going home." She whispered back settling in her spot again.
"Michelle."
Confession scene
"Seriously those two were bickering back and forth right behind me I almost turned around so I could tell them to be quite." She girl said tucking her black hair behind her ear. "When he said Victoria my heart just about stop I swear."
"Jamie."
Gabriella rolled her eyes and looked over at Troy who was receiving a kiss on the lips. Looking back at the cameras she quickly looked away and then back at the floor.
"Natalie."
"Anais."
"Tina."
"There are only four slots left." Jenna whispered.
"Just relax." Gabriella whispered back "if anything you be here and I'll go home and watch you on this show." Gabriella whispered with a sigh.
"Heidi."
"Lydia."
"Oh my god." Jenna whispered. Her body had a sharp intake.
"Relax." Gabriella whispered placing a hand on her back.
"Holly."
After Holly made it back to her seat, Becky came out and smiled at the girls. "There is only one necklace left ladies." She said with a smile as she patted Troy on the back.
There was a long pause as five girls held their breath. Gabriella really couldn't care in fact she was hoping she wouldn't get one at all. Looking back at Jenna she placed a hand on her shoulder for support and smiled at her with a hope.
"Gabriella."
"Wait what." Her heart stopped as she blankly looked at Troy from her position. He smiled as he looked back at her and reached for the last necklace. "Will you take this necklace as a token of my interest to get to know you better? He said with a smirk.
Gabriella felt a push to see that a staff member had sneaked behind her and shoved her forward. Gabriella almost stumbled in her heals just as she came up to Troy. In fact if it weren't for his quick reaction to grab her and steady her from her fall she would have ate floor on national television.
"Bit of a tenderfoot huh?" He said with a smile.
When she didn't respond he held out the necklace. "Well?"
"Oh right." She said taking the necklace from him but when she went to grab it he held it back and smiled. "You have to follow the rules." He said with a smile.
Rolling her eyes she turned to allow him to place the necklace around her neck.
Confession scene
Gabriella sat there looking at the camera in silence. "I just don't get it." She said holding up a hand. "What on earth did he see in me?" she said.
The screen faded.
"I knew that little annoying Witch was up to something, I mean did you see the way she made that all about her." Jordan said shaking her head.
The screen faded again.
Troy smiled as he looked at the screen. "I don't know what made me pick her but I'm glad I did and I look forward to getting to know her." Troy chuckled and looked off to the side. "Gabriella is one of a kind."
Fade out.
