Chapter 8

Gabriella woke up to Troy bringing her breakfast in bed.

"Juice, toast, and eggs, Tylenol and water for the lady"

"Why thank you" Gabriella said sitting up. Her hand immediately went to her head.

"what happened last night?"

"you don't remember?"

"No, why?"

"no, I'm just wondering, what happens when you get drunk?"

"did I get drunk?"

"yeah…"

"well, when I get drunk, I tend to do things that I normally wouldn't and I also happen to tell the truth, not that I tell lies, but things I don't usually talk about in person, then I usually say things like that"

"oh…"

"why, did I say something last night?"

"uhh..no."

"okaayy"

"Hey Chad"

"Hey man, what's happenin'?"

"Not much, look I need you to help me out here."

"what do you need?" Chad asked

"I need you to ask this girl, Gabriella, if she…you know, likes me"

"how am I supposed to do that? I don't even know her? And aren't you already dating her? So wouldn't she like you?"

"here's the deal, me and Gabriella met through an ad, because you know how Mia's getting married, so I needed a date to get my mom off my back. Well, last night, Gabriella was drunk and said that she likes me, and I really like her, but she was drunk. I just don't know what to dol"

"fine man, but where will I talk to her?"

"well, I was thinking that we could go out on a double date or something. You know, you and Taylor, and then me and this Gabriella."

"dude.." chad sighed, "I guess"

"yes! Thank you!" Troy said, then told Chad all the details.

When Troy got home, he told Gabriella that they were going on a double date with his friends.

Gabriella picked out a light blue dress and red accessories. When she was ready, she walked out and met an astonished Troy.

"wow, you look… just..wow"

"that's good to know." She laughed

Troy was wearing a dress shirt with jeans and black shoes.

"Ready to go?" he asked, offering his arm

"yeah" she said, taking it

"Gabriella, this is Chad and his girlfriend, Taylor."

"Tay?"

"Gabi? Oh my goodness! How long has it been?"

"you two, know each other?" Troy asked

"yeah, we went to high school together." Gabriella answered as they hugged.

After dinner, everyone decided to go to a movie and then bowling.

"so Gabriella, how long you've known Troy for?"

"oh, umm… about" she stalled, forgetting what they had decided on.

"a year and a half" Troy said

"oh, that's long" Chad said.

"Yeah,"

Troy and Taylor had gone to the front to get tickets while Chad and Gabriella waited on the sides.

"so you like Troy, huh?"

"well yeah, that's why I'm with him.

"no Gabriella, I mean really, really like him."

"well we've been together for a year and a half so I guess so"

"I know the truth, by the way"

"what truth?"

"that you just met him a couple of days ago"

"oh, that truth"

"yeah, well do you like him?"

"you won't tell him will you?"

"I can't promise anything and is that a yes?"

Gabriella smiled coyly and didn't answer as Troy and Taylor came back.

They found their seats and Chad and Troy went to get popcorn and drinks.

"So man, have you talked to her yet?" Troy asked anxiously

"yeah"

"What did she say?"

"dude" Chad said smiling.

"yes? She likes me? Are you serious? YES!" Troy screamed. Everyone turned to stare and Troy laughed sheepishly.
