Hello readers, here is chapter 8. I'm sorry if you don't like it. I had a minor writers block. I'm gathering up more idea's right now. So hopefully the next chapter will be better than this one.
Last time: "So I was right, you do you like me." Amber smiled and took her hand that was once resting on my hand to my left shoulder as she moved closer to me. Our faces were now only inches apart. Everything was now quiet except for the sounds of cars going by and the wind blowing through our hair. I watched her lean in closer and closer to me until I felt her lips once again resting on mine. My Instant thought was to pull away. But I didn't. I let her kiss me.
-
The kiss didn't last long. Amber looked me in the eyes before kissing me again. Mid kiss I pulled away from Amber.
"Gabriella what's wrong?" She asked.
"I can't do this Amber." I said about to get up, but only to be pulled back down on the bench.
"Why can't you do this Gabriella?" She asked pulling her hands away from me.
"Because I promised Sharpay that there was nothing going on between us, and I want it to stay that way. I don't want Sharpay to hate me." I told her. Amber shook her head laughing slightly.
"This is all because of Sharpay? You're kidding right?" She asked me. I just stared at her blankly. "You're keeping a promise to a girl that broke up with you? Sharpay dumped you for a reason. Why would you listen to her Gabriella? You are guys are over. So that should give you the right to go out and date different people right?" She asked me. I nodded. It did make some sense. "So Gabriella, don't listen to her. Just forget about her. She's not important anymore. So seriously, just let her go." She said the last sentence calmly. Amber brought her hands to my neck again leaning in slowly. Oh gosh, what do I do? I don't know whether I should pull away or kiss back, or what. I turned my head slightly away from her.
"Gabriella, I know you want this." She said whispering. Our lips met again, this time I actually kissed back. I took my shaky hands and brought them to her waist. What the hell was I doing? I was kissing the girl who had caused me to loose Sharpay almost completely. So why am I kissing her?
*Down in the lunch room*
"Hey Taylor, where is Gabriella? I've been looking for her ever since the end of 4th hour." I asked.
"Sharpay didn't Ryan tell you? She's talking with Amber right now. She should be down here in a few minutes." Taylor brought her attention back to her boyfriend. Why was Gabriella talking with Amber? I sat there quietly next to Ryan waiting for Gabriella to get here. Amber was probably going to be following her down here.
*Back up on the roof*
We finally pulled away, leaving me with mixed feelings on what had just happened. I had just kissed a girl, who Sharpay hated, and the girl that ruined things between us. Amber must have sensed that I was slightly uncomfortable with the whole situation.
"Gabriella, it will be okay. I promise." Amber smiled scooting a little closer to me. I wonder how many times she has said that to me so far. I'm guessing about 3 times. We both sat there in silence for a few minutes until she spoke up.
"Can I ask you a question Gabriella?" Amber asked. I nodded.
"What is it?"
"Will you go to the winter fest dance with me Gabriella?" She asked now looking at me. I turned away searching for the right answer. Yes or no? I turned to face her once more.
"Um, sure I'll go to the dance with you." I said unsurely. Amber smiled before throwing her arms around me. I slowly wrapped my arms around her waist for the 2nd time that day. I felt a buzz in my pocket making me pull away from Amber. I glanced at my phone saying I had one new text message. I opened the message up and it read.
Hey Gabi r u comin to lunch or what?
Unless u 2 r doin something else.
-Tay
I sighed. "Amber we should probably get to lunch. Taylor's wondering where we are. She nodded in agreement. We both got up and headed to the 1st floor of the lunch room meeting everyone one there.
"Hey Gabs, what took you so long?" Chad asked as we both sat down. I was sitting next to Amber and Sharpay. Great joy!
"Yeah, Sharpay was getting worried." Troy said.
"I was not Troy!" She yelled back.
"Was to," Troy replied.
"Oh shut up Bolton!" Sharpay yelled making most of us laugh.
"So Gabi, while you were gone I was talking about how Troy was have a bonfire at the park tomorrow around 6." Chad said.
"And I was wondering if you wanted to go." Troy asked. "You can bring her along if you want." Troy said pointing to Amber.
"Uh sure Troy, I'll go."
"Great," He replied before Jason changed the subject. Amber grabbed my hand under the table which made me slightly nervous. Taylor looked over at me and gave me the how as your talk look. I took out my phone texting with one hand telling her I would tell her later.
*Sharpay's P.O.V*
What was with Gabriella and Amber? How come they are only using one hand? I looked over at everyone seeing they were looking at Chad, of course probably listening to one of his crazy stories. I dropped my fork on the ground excusing myself to pick it up. Eww, this floor is really dirty! I forgot about the filthy floor and looked over at where Gabi and Amber were sitting. Why the fuck were they holding hands? I smirked and grabbed Amber's foot making her scream.
"Everything okay Amber?" I heard Gabriella ask her.
"Something grabbed me from under the table?" She said. I picked up my fork revealing myself from under the table.
"Sorry that was me…I accidently touched her foot." I said smirking at Amber, she just glared right back.
"Um okay, but why were you under the table?" Ryan asked.
"I dropped my fork." They all looked at me strangely before Chad went back to telling his stupid story.
*Gabriella's P.O.V*
That was strange, but oh well. For the next 25 minutes I felt Sharpay and Amber having a complete stare down, making me feel uncomfortable. What felt like hours, was only minutes until the bell rang signaling 5th hour. Yes a class without my ex girlfriend and my current "girlfriend." Honestly I have no clue on what we are actually.
*After 5th and 6th period*
"So Gabriella are you going to tell me how your talk went?" Taylor asked as I put my text books and binders I didn't need in my locker.
"Um I can't now. I have to go help Sharpay with the school dance thing for next Saturday. If you want you can come over later and we can talk." I said.
"Okay sure, I'll come over later and we can talk about it." She said as I shut my locker.
"Great, so I will see you later tonight I guess." I said.
"Yep, see ya later Gabriella." Taylor said before heading off to her car.
"Gabriella!" I heard Amber yell.
"Hi Amber, are you going too?" I asked.
"Yeah, if that's alright," She asked.
"No it's fine," We both headed to the drama room, I entered the room first.
"Hi Gabri-what is she doing here?" Sharpay asked with slight attitude in her voice.
"She's here to help, like me." Sharpay was about to respond when her brother walked over to where we were standing.
"Hey Gabriella…Amber. Are you guys here to help?" I nodded.
"Great, why don't you guys go of there and finish the welcome banner." Ryan smiled at us before we walked over to the table farthest away from the room.
*Sharpay's P.O.V*
"Ryan, why did you do that?" I asked with my hands on my hips.
"What's the big deal Shar?" He asked.
"Well Amber's here along with Gabriella!" I yelled almost too loudly.
"Sharpay, I think this is all about Amber, not Gabriella. You just want Amber gone and out of the way." Ryan said before returning to his previous job, making snowflakes to put on the walls of the gym.
*With Amber and Gabriella, Amber's P.O.V*
"Hey Gabriella will you pass the blue marker?" I asked her, I looked over and saw her staring at nothing. She was probably thinking.
"Gabriella," I said snapping my fingers in front of her face.
"Huh, what?" She responded.
"Gabriella, what's wrong?" I asked.
"Amber, I…what happened earlier today didn't feel right." She said.
"What, you mean the kiss?" I asked her drawing a large w on the banner.
"Yeah, when we kissed, it felt strange." Gabriella said now handing me a gray marker.
"Well maybe it was because you just broke up with someone you loved. And now you just can't deal with kissing someone else." I told her. She just nodded. "Gabriella, don't worry about this." I said smiling at her placing my lips on her cheek kissing her making sure Sharpay could see us.
"Ryan I want her gone!" I yelled at my brother getting more paper out of the cabinet handing it to another boy who needed it.
"I'm sorry Sharpay, that's not going to happen." My brother said.
"Well it needs to happen, she…ugh!" I couldn't stop dwelling on the fact that she was with Gabriella. How could Gabriella let this continue? She knows I love her…I think.
After Amber and I finished the banner we left the classroom. I felt Sharpay's eyes on us the whole time. It made me feel slightly uncomfortable. We walked outside to the parking lot to my car.
"Bye Gabi, see you later." Amber smiled and waved at me.
"Bye Amber." I said about to get into my car.
"Wait Gabriella, we didn't finish the project." She said.
"Don't worry Amber, I'll finish it tonight." I told her. She smiled and walked over to her car which was 20 cars away from mine.
"So Gabriella, how was your talk with Amber?" Taylor asked as we sat down on my chairs on my balcony.
"Um, it went okay." I said looking up into the dark starlit sky.
"Seriously Gabi, give me details." She said. I sighed.
"Okay fine." I paused before continuing. "Well I met her up in the rooftop garden to talk. Like I had said. We sat down and I asked her why she had kissed me last night. At first she said she got caught up in the moment." I said, Taylor told me to go on. "So I asked her if she didn't like me. Amber said she had liked me and never meant to come in between Sharpay and I. Which there really never was an us, because we had broke up. Basically she said she liked me and didn't mean to ruin my relationship with Shar." I said.
"Did anything else happen Gabriella?" Taylor asked. Her attention fully focused on me.
"Yes, we kissed…a few times." I said.
"What?" Taylor yelled.
"Shh Taylor!" I yelled back. "My mom is downstairs!"
"Sorry, continue." She replied lowering her voice back to normal.
"Anyway, as I was saying. Amber and I kissed a few times. The first time, I didn't react. The 2nd time I pulled away and told her I couldn't do this."
"What did Amber say?"
"She said that Sharpay broke up with me, so I shouldn't be listening to her. So basically, just to forget about her. Sharpay wasn't important. And that I should be allowed to date other girls since Sharpay and I are no longer dating." I said.
"The last part makes some sense Gabriella." Taylor said now leaning against the back of the chair. I nodded.
"So the 3rd kiss, I actually kissed back. I don't know why. But it felt strange Taylor, like something wasn't right." I told her turning away.
"Well maybe it's because you're not used to being with anyone but Sharpay." Taylor told me.
"That's what Amber said." I responded. "But Taylor, I'm not sure what to do. I love Sharpay and I can't stand being with someone else."
"Gabriella, if Sharpay wanted you back she would have said something by now. I think you should try this new relationship with Amber. Who knows, it might be better then the one you had with Sharpay." Taylor told me. I doubt I will have a better relationship with Amber.
After I had finished talking with Taylor she went home to finish her homework. Me, on the other hand finished that project that Amber and I were supposed to do last night. But since that incident happened, we didn't get to. Once I finished the project I put in my back pack so I wouldn't forget to bring it on Monday morning.
"Morning mom," I said walking down the stairs fully dressed ready to go.
"Good morning sweetie. Where are you going at 8:30 this morning?" She asked washing dishes.
"I'm going to get some coffee. I'll be back later mom." I kissed my mom's cheek quickly walking over to the coat hook.
"Have fun, and don't have too many cups of coffee! May I remind you what happened the last time you went to get coffee all by yourself?" My mom asked drying her hands off. I rolled my eyes with a slight smile on my face. I will never ever forget that time I had way too many cups of coffee. I drove my mom crazy!
"No mother. See you later." I said opening the door. It was actually sunny out today. Hopefully most of the snow will melt.
"Bye Gabriella." She replied. I shut the door walking over to my car. I smiled, hoping this was going to be a good day. I started my car only to be interrupted by my phone ringing.
"Hello," I asked turning on my radio.
"Hey Gabi," I heard a high pitched voice say.
"Hi Amber, what's up?" I asked.
"Noting really, just wanted to know if you wanted to hang out this morning." Amber asked.
"Well if you want, I'm leaving to go get coffee. The same place we talked. Do you want to meet me there?" I asked.
"Yeah sure, I'll meet you there. Bye Gabi." Amber said.
"Bye," I hung up the phone setting it the center council before pulling out onto the black top.
Hey guys, sorry chapter 8 was so short. But I had to end it here; it leads to where I want the story to go. So, the next chapter is in the making. One more thing, I need more reviews. I had 1 out of 85 people who read the story review the last chapter. (Thanks Amydraw99). Again, I suck at spelling and grammar. There is probably some mistakes in this chapter.
