Chapter 10
We finally reached the apartment Jenny had for the summer. It was... decent. Yeah. Who am I kidding? This was practically the nicest apartment ever. Two master sized bedrooms, a pool up on the roof, a kitchen and a living room.
"Which room do you want?" Jenny asked me.
"I don't know..." I walked into one of the bedrooms. "I'll take this one." I shouted from in the room.
"What a surprise." Jenny
stated walking into the room. "The one with the balcony?"
"Yup."
I smiled.
"What was going on with you on the plane?" Jenny raised an eyebrow.
"Oh that? Nothing." I felt my cheeks growing red.
"Uh huh. Well, I'm here if you wanna talk." She told me and walked out of the room.
I walked over to the big bed and fell onto it. I frowned. This was my whole summer. In a foreign country, only knowing one person. Great. I can't believe I was here for the whole summer. I thought this would be good. No, it is. France gives me a chance to get over Troy and I need to get over him, he's over me. Well then why was he at the airport? I couldn't help but ask myself that question. Oh! I had to call Taylor. I got off my bed and got my phone then dialed Taylor's number.
"Bonjour." Taylor answered.
"Hey." I giggled.
"So, how is it there?" An eager Taylor asked.
"It's awesome. I can't wait until it's dark out and all the lights will be on. The apartment is amazing." I smiled.
"That's awesome. So, uh. What about that note?"
I bit my bottom lip. "Uh. Well, it is from two years ago."
"And..."
"And Troy asked me to be his girlfriend and said he was falling in love with me." I couldn't help but grin at that.
"IN LOVE WITH YOU?!?!?" Taylor shouted.
"That's what he says." I sighed.
"What's wrong?" Taylor turned serious.
"It's from two years ago. I doubt he still feels the same. He's moved on. I was the idiot who waited too long."
"Technically, Chad's the idiot because he never gave you the note." Taylor informed me.
"Well, maybe that's how it was supposed to happen. Maybe, Troy and I aren't meant to be." I couldn't believe I just said that.
"Gabriellia Montez! You better bite your tounge at that sentence!" Taylor yelled.
"What? If we were meant to be I would have gotten that note."
"Here we go again. Gabriellia, open your eyes. Troy is still in love with you!"
I couldn't say anything to defend myself seeing as Taylor hung up on me. I groaned and decided to call Chad.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Why do you have to be so stupid sometimes?" I groaned.
"Oh. Hey, Gabby. I guess you got the note. Huh?" I could hear the guilt in his voice.
"Yeah, I did."
"Look, I'm really, really, really, really sorry. I feel like such a fag right now." He sighed.
"I'm not mad. Just depressed."
"God, I'm such a dick!" He exclaimed.
"Chad, relax."
"But, now you and Troy are like... ruined."
"Well if Troy and I were meant to be I would have gotten the note. So, stop beating yourself up. I gotta go anyway. Bye, Chad." I ended the call and walked out to the kitchen.
"Hey." Jenny said.
I smiled in response.
"You don't wanna be here do ya? You wanna be with that boy of yours?"
"What boy? He doesn't even look at me twice." I set my head in my hands while leaning on the counter.
"You said you were in love with him." Jenny said.
"Still am." I corrected her.
"Then why did you come with me when you can be at home with all your friends and the boy you love?" She asked.
"Because. I don't think he loves me anymore."
"Anymore?!? You mean he told you he loved you?!?" Her jaw dropped.
"No. It was in a note. From two years ago." I sighed. "And now he has a girlfriend who he thinks he loves. France is a good thing for me. I'll be able to get over Troy and that's what I need most right now."
"Well, if you say so."
"Yeah. I do." I smiled.
"Okay, well you wanna go to the Eiffel Tower tonight?"
"Oh my gosh, yes!" I grinned.
"Well go get ready."
I did as I was told. I was so excited to go there. Maybe tonight was the night I'll meet my French boy.
When I got of the shower and I was dressed I decided to call Sharpay.
"Hey you." She chirped.
"Hello. Guess where I'm going tonight?"
"Where?"
"The Eiffel Tower!" I exclaimed.
"Lucky!" She scoffed.
"I know, I know." I laughed.
"Well, Zeke is here."
"Oh, I see." I giggled and hung up.
We were now in front of The Eiffel Tower.
"Lots of lights. Huh?" Jenny asked me nudging my shoulder.
I nodded my head. "Yeah." I agreed still looking at it.
"So, theres this delicious restaurant here. Do you wanna go?"
I looked over at Jenny. "Yes!" I grinned.
"Okay." Jenny laughed.
We walked back over to her car and she drove to the restaurant. Of course, Jenny had to order for me. I know French and all, but the waiter would probably be pretty annoyed. I can understand French, but speaking it? That's a whole different story.
When we went back to the hotel I went straight into my room. When I sat onto my bed my phone started to ring and Ryan's picture showed on the screen. "Hello there." I smiled.
"Hey, Miss French." Ryan laughed.
"Oh my god. It's amazing here."
"Have you seen the Eiffel Tower yet?"
"Yes I did. We just went tonight." I grinned.
"I want pictures." He ordered.
"Uh, too bad I didn't take any, huh?"
"What?! How can you go to the Eiffel Tower and not take pictures. That's not human."
"What? So, now I'm not human?"
"Well-" He paused. It sounded like he was talking to someone. "We are gonna have to finish this talk about you being human or not later."
"Whatever you say, Mr. Hollywood." I giggled.
"Haha. Funny." He hung up.
I fell back onto my bed with a smile. Yeah, my summer won't be picture perfect. Troy liked me at one point. I'm still in love with Troy and now I'm not even friends with him. I'm not seeing the positive side of this. Whatever. I need to get over Troy and France will let me do that. Hopefully.
Yuck. This one was so boring and junk. Please leave a review. They're greatly appreciated.
