Gabriella's House

Gabi arrived down to her house after she had finished hanging out with Victoria. Taking some bags out of her backseat, she went inside her house and disposed them in the closet, wanting to take the clothes out later. She laid on her bed, checking out her new nails when her cellphone rang in her purse. Gabriella gets it and answers it, "Hello,"

"Hey Gabriella," Taylor says on the other line. She's driving down a road with her sunglasses on.

"Hey Tay. How's everything going?" Gabriella asked, surprised to hear from Taylor after Vicky's party.

"Nothing much, are you home?" Taylor asked.

"Yeah, I just got here," Gabriella said.

"Ok, I'm coming over," Taylor told her. The girls hung up and Gabriella slipped on her shoes as she headed outside. Taylor's blue Porsche Cayenne came down the driveway and parked right by Gabriella's gold Lexus convertible. Taylor powered down her car and stepped out, seeing Gabriella swinging on the porch swing. She walked over there and sat next to her, being silent for a while.

"So...how you are doing?" Gabriella asked again.

"Fine, not much," Taylor shrugged as they continued to swing. She looked down and saw Gabriella's French manicure design.

"I see you got a manicure today," Taylor complimented, "it looks nice."

"Thanks, me and Victoria got them done today," Gabriella said, softly touching them.

"You were with Victoria today?" Taylor asked, surprised.

"Yeah, we're trying to start over and become good friends," Gabriella explained.

"Wow...that's good," Taylor said, looking away.

Gabriella sighed and turned to Taylor, "Can you please talk to me again? I'm sorry about what happened at the party a week ago but we're getting along fine now," she told her.

"I'm still having doubts so...I don't know yet, Gabs," Taylor replied, looking at her.

"Well, I'll still be here," Gabriella said.

"Ok," Taylor said. They both sat there in silence again until Gabriella brought up another topic.

"I talked to Ryan a few days ago," Gabriella told her.

Taylor turned and looked at her best friend, "You did? I thought you were over him,"

"I am, he came over to my house. We just talked and then he said..." Gabriella continued before stopping, not sure if Ryan wanted her to know about his problem.

"What? What's going on?" Taylor questioned, seeing the concerness in Gabi's face.

"Well...I don't know if he wanted me to tell but...he says that he's kinda lost his feelings for Victoria," Gabi explained.

"No way!! He doesn't like her anymore!" Tay exclaimed, shocked about the news.

"Yeah, but he's not planning on telling her anytime soon. He's afraid of breaking her heart," Gabriella told her.

"By the way that he's keeping it from her and lying about it, she'll take it more bad than when he decides to tell her," Taylor said, sitting back on the swing.

"I know right; I just hope he does it at a good time," Gabriella said.

Kelsi's House

Sharpay steps out of Kelsi's closet, trying to zip up her black Roulette dress in the back. She walked over to where Kelsi was wearing a Forever 21 pink silk dress with black ribbon detail and doing her makeup natural with pink lipstick.

"Can you help me zip this up, please?" Sharpay groaned. Kelsi sighed and walked away from the mirror and zipped up the rest of the dress with no difficulty.

"Thanks!" Sharpay said as they both walked back to the bathroom.

"You're welcome. Are you sure you can fit that? You look like you're gaining weight," Kelsi said.

Sharpay gasped and picked out black eyeliner from their makeup bags, "Well I'm gaining weight, so are you," she replied.

Kelsi only rolled her eyes as she continued to put on makeup. "Have you heard from Victoria today?" she asked.

"No, not really. I tried calling her today but I got her voice mail," Sharpay said, wondering what Vicky could be doing.

"Oh really? I heard from Megan that she and Gabriella were hanging out today," Kelsi gossiped.

"Get out!" Sharpay said, putting down her red lipstick. She was trying to go for a Marilyn Monroe look but was interrupted with this news.

"Yep, they had gotten a mani/pedi and went shopping together," Kelsi said, "can you believe her?"

"Well, ever since that party at Victoria's and when Taylor bursted, I couldn't blame them getting back together as friends," Sharpay replied.

"Oh you're kidding right! It's worse enough that Victoria will be going over to their side soon," Kelsi exclaimed.

"Don't worry, this is probably temporary. She'll be back on the Ice Queen side in no time," Sharpay smirked, finishing off her look. Kelsi look up at her and nodded; they weren't gonna lose one of their honorary members to those...wannabes.

Kelsi's cell phone rang from the bedroom and her puppy Jordan started to bark. She walked back to her room and picked up her cell. Seeing the caller id, she smiled and answered, "Hey Jay,"

"Where are you girls? We have reservations at Carrabbas in 10 minutes," Jason said to her.

"We're getting ready and on our way out now," Kelsi replied, walking back to the bathroom.

"Ok, well me and Zeke are on our way there. Do we have to pick you guys up?" Jay asked.

"We have Sharpay's car; we'll be there," Kelsi said.

"Alright see you there," Jason replied. They hung up and Kelsi softly bit her lip. Sharpay didn't miss it at all and started to smile.

"Are you falling for Jason already?" Sharpay joked.

"No, I always dream of being on Chad's arm. Nothing changes that," Kelsi smiled.

"Mmm hmm, I'm ready. Let's go!" Sharpay said, giving her hair some volume spray and walking out. Kelsi soon followed and they grabbed their purses, hitting Sharpay's black Jaguar and heading to the restaurant.

Carrabbas Restaurant

Jason and Zeke are dressed both in jeans, dressy shirts and nice clean tennis shoes. They were waiting in the foyer for their two dates, one of them being really nervous.

"Dude, what if Sharpay doesn't like my outfit? Or is something goes wrong with the food? Or what if I accidentally let her fall or something falls on her food?" Zeke rambled on.

Jason got up and placed both his hands on Zeke's shoulders hard. "Dude, calm down. Everything will be fine,"

"You say that because you don't even like Kelsi that much," Zeke said.

"Yeah right, I do like her...a lot, in fact," Jason stuttered.

"Sure, bud," Zeke replied. Jason shook his head and turned his head outside to see the girls coming in.

"Hey, look they're here," Jason said. He got up and opened the door for them.

"Thanks Jason," Sharpay and Kelsi said as they entered into the restaurant. Kelsi gave Jason a kiss on the cheek while Sharpay did the same to Zeke.

"How are you doing tonight?" Zeke asked nicely.

"Good, thanks," Sharpay smiled. The 2 duo were seated outside, the guys on one side and the girls on the other.

"Well, we would just like to start off by thanking you for coming out tonight with us," Jason said, putting his drink up the girls.

"Thanks Jay, we tried our best just for you guys," Kelsi said, with a smile. Jason smiled back as he sipped his drink.

It was silent at the table for a while, with the choosing of foods but also of no topic. What a night, it started off to be.

Sharpay and Ryan's house

Ryan was reading a book on the History of Drama when he heard a knock on his door.

"Come in," he said, not ready to get up.

Victoria walked in slowly and smiled at Ryan's appearance. "Hey Ry," she said.

"Hey Victoria," he smiled back as he kissed her cheek. She got up on his bed and laid next to him.

"What'cha reading?" she asked.

"Oh just some history stuff about the start of drama," Ryan explained, putting it down.

"That's nice. I was just wondering if you were still going to the bonfire tomorrow," Victoria stated.

"Well, why would we go? It's an annual thing for EHS students and if you don't remember, we graduated," Ryan told her.

"I know, it's just that I want to see everyone again since I couldn't at the party last week," Victoria explained.

"Oh, I see. How are you and Gabi doing after what happened with you guys and Taylor?" Ryan asked.

"We're kinda hanging out, trying to restart I guess," Victoria shrugged.

"Hey, at least you're getting somewhere," Ryan said, with a smile.

"Yeah, that's true. So how are you exactly?" Vicky asked him.

"Ummm...what do you mean?" Ryan questioned, worried that she might know what was up.

"You seem...kinda off," Victoria said, squinting her face a bit.

"Well, I'm fine; there's nothing to worry about," Ryan said.

"Are you sure?" Victoria asked. She wanted to know what was going on in his mind.

"Positive," Ryan smiled, putting his arm around and kissing her head. Victoria sighed and leaned into his embrace, wondering if it was the truth. If only she knew what was going on in his head...

Carrabbas Restaurant

They were now eating their food and only a few glances were seen between the four of them.

"So...um that bonfire tomorrow, were you guys gonna go?" Jason asked.

"Yeah, sure. We always go to that," Kelsi said, brushing the corner of her lips.

"We're just not sure about Victoria and Ryan," Sharpay replied.

"Why not? They should still be able to come," Zeke asked. Sharpay only smiled, thinking how cute he looked at that moment.

"We just haven't heard from Victoria all day today, that's the problem," Kelsi butted in. Zeke and Sharpay broke their glance as she nodded.

"I heard that she and Gabi were out and about today," Jason said.

Before Kelsi could comment on it, Sharpay came in and said, "We're not sure on that but after what happened at Vicky's house, anything could happen between them. Taylor was really upset,"

"I could imagine," Zeke said, putting some pasta in his mouth. Sharpay looked up at him and stifled a giggle.

"What? Is there something on my face?" Zeke asked, when he heard Sharpay laugh.

"Well...you have some sauce on your bottom lip," Sharpay giggled. She reached over with her napkin and wiped it off of him.

"There, all gone!" Shar proclaimed. Zeke wiped the corner of his mouth and smiled at Sharpay.

"Thanks Sharpay," he said.

"You're welcome," she smiled back, a blush coming through her cheeks. Jason and Kelsi both took notice of this but Zeke and Sharpay didn't mind it at all. They just continued eating while Kelsi made another quick glance at Sharpay before eating again.
