Author's Note: I know these chapters have been short, but I'm off today, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, AND Monday, so I should be close to finishing up this story, as well as my HM fanfic, This Is The Life. Enjoy, and happy reading!
Chapter Seven: The Plan Begins
"Come on, Haylie! Do it for Ryan!" Gabriella pleaded, and the small blonde folded her arms a crossed her chest.
"And why should I? He told me I shouldn't be his girlfriend anymore." Haylie stated.
"Haylie, I think you should take my place in the music video because it'd be good for the both of you: to talk things out."
Unlike Ryan, Haylie told Gabriella what went down between her and Troy, and Gabriella didn't get mad at her, which was a total surprise.
They were sitting in Haylie's bedroom, Haylie in the computer chair, while Gabriella sat on the bed, gazing at the group photo they took recently.
"I shouldn't. You and Ryan worked hard on it, and I shouldn't deserve your grade. Besides, wouldn't Ms. Zismar find out?" Haylie asked.
"I asked her about it, and she said it'd be fine. I'll get the grade, so don't worry about me, Haylie. It's Ryan and your relationship with him you should be worried about." Gabriella explained.
"I guess your right...I should talk to him."
"So you'll do the music video?" Gabriella asked.
"That's what I'm saying." Haylie explained, and Gabriella smiled.
"That's awesome, Haylie! Wouldn't Ryan be surprised?" Gabriella asked, as she got up from the bed.
"How is he going to be surprised?" Haylie asked.
"Because he's been working with me, and with you there, he'll have no choice. Besides, I'll teach you the dance steps before hand. Ohmygosh, Ryan's going to be so surprised!"
Of course he will be!
Haylie couldn't help but to smile at Gabriella's excitment.
"Yeah. I can hardly wait."
"Want me to teach you the dance steps now?" Gabriella asked.
"No thanks...I have some homework to do. Maybe later?" Haylie asked.
"Okay. How about tomorrow?" Gabriella asked.
"That'll be great. Thanks again, Gabriella." Haylie stated.
"No problem. I'm always here for you and Ryan...your relationship is what inspires mine with Troy's."
"I thought it was yours that inspires mine with Ryan's?" Haylie asked.
"Maybe...I don't know." Gabriella explained, and Haylie laughed while Gabriella grinned.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow. Come prepared, because the dance is really hard...alot of fancy footwork."
"Gabriella, I have a boyfriend who dances..well, I used to have a dancing boyfriend. So, I should know." Haylie exclaimed, and Gabriella nodded.
"Oh. Right." Gabriella responded, and Haylie giggled.
When Gabriella left, Haylie was left to meddle with her thoughts.
Would Ryan talk to her just Gabriella suggested?
Would he still do the music video if she was his partner?
All those questions will be solved when Haylie talked to him tomorrow.
