"Gregor was not a beetle in the Metamorphosis," Gabriella declared.

"He was so a beetle!" Troy argued, "If he was not a beetle then why did his family look at him differently!" Troy added with this little hmm attitude.

"They just did not like him, that is why they looked at him differently," Gabriella added.

"No, he was a beetle, he could not even like open the door," Troy laughed.

"Oh you think you know everything, he could not open the door because he was sick, and he probably was dizzy. That is why he could not open the stupid door," Gabriella was mad that Troy was arguing with her, and she knew why he was doing this too! He just wanted to annoy her.

"You assume he was sick, well I assume he is a bug, therefore none of our opinions are wrong, and non of our opinions are right," Troy said happily.

Mrs. Smith started clapping, "BRAVA Troy, and Gabriella, and good job Troy I loved your little point at the end, it was great!"

Troy smiled greatly at Gabriella, and then at Mrs. Smith. Gabriella just gave him an evil eye. Then the bell suddenly rang.

Gabriella put everything in her bag, and as she looked up Troy was right in her face. "Yes. Troy Bolton," Gabriella said smoothly. "I will meet you at the car," Troy said while pointing his finger at her. "Not looking forward towards it," Gabriella said dryly. "I AM!" Troy exclaimed.

As she headed down the hall and towards the door to the parking lot, she saw Troy talking to at least ten people. Yeah he already had millions of friends, while Gabriella had none. She was mad, and a little jealous. Having gone to school with these people for years, none of them ever had an interest in being her friend.

Gabriella stood by her car, and waited for Sam and Troy to get there. They were slow every single day. It annoyed the heck out of Gabriella. Troy came out with some boy with weird hair named Chad walking with him. Troy came near Gabriella with Chad. "Gabriella, you know Chad, right?" Troy asked happily. "Oh yeah, it is only the greatest basketball player to come to East High," Gabriella said sarcastically. Chad smirked at her, "oh I know Gabriella because she is always showing up everyone in class," Chad added meanly. Gabriella rolled her eyes, "Troy let's go," Gabriella demanded. "Well don't we have to wait for Sam?" He asked. "Oh yeah, I forgot about him," Gabriella said dryly. "Well bye man, think about coming tonight," Chad said. "I will, call me," Troy said as he got into the car. "Wow you are not very polite to people," Troy said.

Gabriella ignored for minute, thinking over what Troy had just told her. "Well you are annoying, that is not very polite," Gabriella added. Troy laughed, "That is how I am so." "So do not tell me that I am not very polite, maybe I have a reason as to why I am not nice to most people at this school," Gabriella stated. Troy did not say anything. He knew she was mad about something, and he did not want to get into it with her.

Suddenly Sam was at the car. "Hurry up, why are you always so late?" Gabriella questioned.

"What is up with her?" Sam whispered to Troy. Troy looked at him and mouthed, "I do not know."

There was silence in the car for a few minutes before Troy spoke up. "So Gabriella what are you doing on this wonderful Friday night?"

Gabriella looked at him, and then back on the road. "Nothing," was all she said.

"Oh well, why not?" Troy wondered.

"Just because," She trailed off, and she was kind of not in the mood to be questioned by Troy Bolton.

"Sam do you have any plans tonight?" Troy asked.

"Depends, maybe, I think I might be," He answered unknowingly.

"Well Tonight do you Sam, and Gabriella want to come with me somewhere?" He asked happily.

"Oh sure, where?" Sam answered ecstatically.

"I will only take you if Gabriella here will come with us," Troy smiled, and he looked over at Gabriella who obviously did not want to go. "So Gabriella what is going to be?"

"I thought you were going somewhere with Chad tonight?" Gabriella questioned.

"Oh that, no I am not in the mood, plus I already had this night planned out," Troy said proudly.

"I do not want to go anywhere with you Troy Bolton," then Sam looked over at Gabriella, and he saw that she would not budge. Nobody knew how to change Gabriella's mind more than Sam. "Oh but Gabriella you have to go, you go nowhere every weekend. All you do is study, study, study, and I want to go somewhere with Troy, and just go Gabriella. Why do you have to ruin everything!" Sam said very convincingly.

"I like the argument, nice work Sam!" Troy laughed, "So Gabriella what is it going to be? Have a lonely night with your Physics book or a night with Troy that will be a night to remember?" Troy asked excitedly.

"You know what, why should I want to go anywhere with you Troy, you are the most annoying boy I have ever met?" She asked.

Then there she was convinced to go. Oh how the whole car ride home from school was Sam and Troy going back and forth trying to convince Gabriella to the point of destruction where she knew she must go. This time she let Troy drive because she knew she would get them lost, and she had no clue where she was going because Troy was surprising them by taking them somewhere.

Troy was in the driver seat all pumped to go. Sam even more pumped because he was hanging out with Troy, his hero, as it seems. Then there was Gabriella sitting the back with the maddest look ever on her face.

"Gabriella, aren't you super excited for tonight!" Troy asked very happily and excitedly at the same time.

"No," was the one word Gabriella said, "um I do not even know where we are going, and I am hanging out with you, that makes it not exciting."

"I am exciting just wait and see Gabriella, just wait and see," He laugh with great excitement.

"Are we really going somewhere that great or something?" Sam asked confused.

"No it is not that great or anything, I just get to see someone from New Mexico, that is why it is exciting!" Troy said with great joy, and turned to see Gabriella with her arms crossed, and she was about to speak.

"Are you kidding me? Are we really going somewhere to just see your friend from New Mexico?" She asked madly.

"Well yeah, it will be fun though!" Troy assumed!

"Well wait where?" Sam asked nervously as he started biting his nails. He tended to have that problem when he got nervous. He usually does before a hockey game to the point of where he has no more nails to chew on. It is disgusting, and Gabriella cannot stand it.

"I am not taking you somewhere weird, Sam, my friend gave me directions to the place, it is some coffee house call Brown's," Troy reassured Sam to make him not scared.

"Why does your friend want you meet him at a coffee shop?" Sam wondered. "Wait does he work there, or is he reading poetry?" Gabriella asked because she was now kind of in interest.

"No he does not read poetry, and no he does not work there," Troy said quite amused, "what else do you guys think people do at a coffee shop?"

"Drink coffee," Sam laughed, "I do not know."

"Gabriella you should know, you are smart," Troy said as he took a glance at Gabriella through his rearview mirror.

"I do not know, play music," Gabriella sounded confused because she really did not know. This was a just guess she came up with.

"Exactly, music, Brown's I guess is known for having musical guest, and my friend Cory Laurence, is playing there tonight," Troy said proudly. Gabriella glanced at him, and she did not want to admit she was pretty excited to see his friend. "So why is your friend playing here in Michigan?" Gabriella asked with somewhat of an interest.

"Well you see he is 23, and he is crazy about music. He needed to find some gigs because in New Mexico he was not having any luck. So he called some places in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, and he had greater luck here. So he bought a condo in Ohio, and he is traveling around I guess." Troy told with this great history of his friend, and he seemed very proud of him.

"Why are you hanging out with a 23-year-old?" Gabriella asked with an attitude.

"He is my old, old neighbor, and our families have always stayed friends," Troy answered again with a very proud tone of voice. Gabriella just shook her head.

"Well we should be there in about ten minutes," Troy said aloud so everybody could know. Gabriella sat in the back seat, and she saw a sort of different side of Troy so far this night. He was not acting annoying towards her. He was acting normal for once. If only Troy could be like this always. If only.
