Chapter 8: The 7-hour Trip

Sharpay came near to Troy and kissed him on the cheek but Bobby wasn't there yet. Gabriella still waited for him until she saw a yellow cab stopped in front of their house. Finally, it was Bobby. He came towards Gabriella and kissed her on the forehead.

"Sorry, I was got into traffic," he explained.

"Let's go," then, she kissed him passionately.

Gabriella was really fond of trips since she is a journalist. But, it was Sharpay's first time to take a 7-hour trip by land. Later, she became sick and about to barf.

"What's the problem, honey?" Troy asked Sharpay.

"I need to…." Sharpay said but she paused.

"What?" Troy asked. And without warning, Sharpay suddenly vomited in Troy's lap. Gabriella, from the back seat, stood up and looked at Sharpay's sick face. She began to laugh about it. But, instead of puking it out, Troy was very concerned of Sharpay. He grabbed a bottle of water and gave it to Sharpay. The van stopped at a near coffee shop. Troy grabbed his trousers from his bag and went to the bath room and changed. Sharpay was sitting on the chair and suddenly, Jack-Jack came near him.

"Are you OK, auntie?" he asked with a cute tone.

"I'm OK," she said then kissed Jack-Jack's forehead, "you go now, and play!" Troy came out of the bath room and went to the van to return his pants. Then, he sees Gabriella laughing.

"What's so funny?" he asked Gabriella with an angry tone.

"Well, you're great GIRLFRIEND, puked on your lap; wouldn't you think that, that is funny?" Gabriella said as she continues laughing. Troy turned around and went inside the coffee shop. Gabriella then stopped laughing and realizes about what she said. "I should say sorry," she said to herself. So, Gabriella went inside the coffee shop but when she was about to come inside, the door suddenly opens and everyone decided to continue the trip.

"Are you fine?" Troy asked Sharpay.

"Yeah," she said.

Gabriella was feeling jealous at that moment when she sees Troy concerning about Sharpay. Bobby then came out and sees Gabriella looking at air.

"Hello?" he said as he waves his hand in front of Gabriella.

"Hi!" she said.

"Let's go!" Bobby replied as he holds Gabriella's hand.

Inside the van, Gabriella felt uneasy. Like Sharpay, she became sick too. She had four stops because she vomits. She wonders why since this never happened to her before. She thinks that it could be bad karma but it was impossible. Bobby was concerned of Gabriella's situation so he asked Gabriella to take a nap since there was only three hours more until they arrive. Gabriella followed Bobby's advice and sleep.

Gabriella's dream

Gabriella was lying in the bed. Her eyes were closed. She opened her eyes and found her in her room. She tried to stand up but she couldn't. Then, she felt something wet. She touched her stomach and felt something warm and sticky. She started to worry. When she took a look at the bed, she was shocked to see a large amount of blood on the bed. She wanted to scream but couldn't. Then, somebody covered her mouth and kissed her neck. She looked at that person and sees Bobby.

End of Dream

Gabriella opened her eyes and sees Bobby sleeping on her shoulder. She was sweating so hard so she grabbed a towel and wiped herself. After an hour of looking at the window, they finally arrived at the resort. White sand, coconut trees and a bright shining sun-all makes up the stunning Caesar White Resort.

"Wow! It's a bright sunny day!" Sharpay said as she grabs her bag.

"Daddy, I thought we were going to Disneyland?!" Jack-jack asks Jack.

"Baby, wake up," Gabriella whispered to Bobby's ear. Then, Bobby's eyes slowly opened.

"We're here?" he said.

"Yeah," she said as she kisses Bobby's forehead.

"Let's get moving," Bobby said.

Socorro immediately went to the front desk and ordered a suite and two deluxe. The suite was for Jack, Socorro and Jack-jack while the two deluxe will be the rooms for the boys and girls. "I'm sorry ma'am but we have only one deluxe left," the front desk said.

"Oh, let me just get back to you," Socorro replied. She came to Jack and told him about the rooms.

"It's OK, they could all sleep in the same room," Jack said.

"What? Are you crazy?" Socorro replied.

"We'll just order three more beds," Jack explained.

"But the girls can't share the same room with the boys!" Socorro exclaimed.

"OK, you think of a plan!" Jack replied.

"OK, OK! Since we have no other choice,"

When Gabriella and Sharpay found out that they were staying together, they were half angry but half happy-angry because they would see each other but happy because they would see their boyfriends. Instead of getting a deluxe room for them, Socorro decided to give them another suite room with two queen-sized beds. 342 was the room.

"It won't open!" Sharpay complained when she couldn't open the door.

"Give me that!" Gabriella said as she grabbed the key.

She carefully opened the door and saw the room. It was huge! There was a mini-kitchen, a living room, two queen-sized beds and a 32-inch flat screen TV with a dvd player. Unaware that Gabriella wasn't alone, she threw her bags on the floor and jumped in the bed.

While doing so, Sharpay took a look at the bath room and sees a Hawaiian-themed environment. There was a jacuzzi filled with water and candles with rose petals were inside too.

"This is so cool!" she exclaimed.

While the girls were admiring their suite, the boys made themselves in the kitchen and whipped up their own coffee. They sat in the coffee table within the kitchen and talked about their girlfriends.

"So, Gabriella told me that you and Gabriella haven't talked to each other for a long time," Bobby said to Troy as he takes a sip of his coffee.

Flashback

"Wanna hand out tonight?" Troy asked Gabriella.

"No, I can't, I have a date tonight," Gabriella replied as she slams her locker.

"So, how about tomorrow?" Troy said.

"It's a GNO" Gabriella replied.

"But..."

"See you at home," She said as she leaves.

Another Flashback

"Nnn...not...yyyy...yet.." she answered as she tries to hide the picture behind her.

"What's that?"

"Nothing..."

"Behind you!"

"Nothing..."

"Come on, let me see it!" Troy pulled away Gabby's hand and finds out she was holding the picture. "What are you doing? Don't ever touch this!" He pulled the picture from Gabby's hand.

"I'm sorry I was just..." Gabriella explained.

"You have gone too far, Gabriella! If you treat me bad, I'll treat you worser!" Troy shouted.

End of Flashbacks

"I thought I would never forgive her," Troy whispered.

"What?" Bobby asked.

"Nothing," Troy replied.

"Troy, I'll be at the pool if you need anything," Sharpay told Troy wearing a sexy bikini that made Troy stare at her. "What's the matter?" she said. Then, she notices that Troy couldn't take his eyes off her, "but I don't wanna be lonely," she said in a flirty voice.

"I'll just change my clothes!" Troy said with a smirk.
