Gabriella was lounging in her living room flipping through channels. She found it so hard that there seemed to be nothing of interest on. She groaned in annoyance and turned off the tv. As she walked towards the kitchen her front door opened and her cousins came inside. Samantha ran up to her and grabbed her.
"Gabs, I just met thee cutest guy." She said with a smirk.
"Where?"
"The ice cream shop…Eco Gelato?" Samantha said. "But that's not the important part. Guess what's important!"
"Okay, Gabriella, I'm gonna tell you what happened since Sam is being dumb. We go in there to buy some ice cream, cute guy working the counter, they start flirting, he invites her to some party tonight, and they exchange numbers. That's pretty much it. Did we really need to drag it out?" Gloria said with an eye roll as she went into the kitchen to eat her ice cream. She was a very straightforward fifteen years old girl.
"When is this big party?" Gabriella asked. Samantha gave a nervous smile.
"It's tonight…"
"Sam, you know I can't." Gabriella said with a frown.
"Gabriella, they live in the rich part. There's gonna be a pool and a hot tub! Please!" Samantha begged.
"Sorry, I've got plans. It sounds fun, though." Gabriella said.
"There's gonna be lots of liquor." Samantha smiled thinking that the drinks would entice her into coming. It was working. Gabriella almost gave in when her phone began to ring. It was Taylor. Before she could even say 'hello', Taylor was already talking.
"Gabriella, I'm so upset! Chad cancelled on me for tonight. Can you believe it? He's going to something he claims he just can't miss out on because it's a big deal and a lot of people from his old school are gonna be there."
"Oh, really? Well, my cousin was just telling me about a party in the heights and there's a hot tub and drinks. Wanna go?" Gabriella held her breath.
"Yes, just so I can say to Chad that I had a great time without him. What time do you wanna go?"
"I'll get the car and pick you up at around 11?" Gabriella suggested. Samantha began squealing and Gabriella laughed. She finished confirming her plans with Taylor and hung up.
"I guess we're going." Gabriella said. She smiled. The party seemed like it could be great.
"Well, as you guys go out, what am I gonna do all night?" Gloria said angrily.
"….maybe we tell our parents that we're going to a movie tonight. Followed by bowling and some other crap. You can come with, Glore."
Gloria squealed and ran up the stairs to get ready.
"Don't you guys think you're leaving kind of late?" Mrs. Montez said sounding concerned.
"Mom, relax. We'll be fine. We're gonna go pick up Taylor now. I'm going to be honest…."
"Gabriella, shut the hell up!" Samantha mumbled looking at her with angry eyes.
"We may not come back tonight. I think we're just gonna stay the night at Tay or Sharpay's house. Wherever the night takes us."
"Hmm…okay." Mrs. Montez said uncertainly. She hugged them each and they flew out the door.
"I seriously thought you were about to tell what we were really up to!" Gloria said as she slammed the back door. She was smiling from ear to ear. Gabriella pulled off and parked around the corner so they could get dressed.
Gabriella quickly pulled off her clothes and slipped on a tight emerald green mini dress with cap sleeves. She used gold eye shadow and heavy eye liner. She opted for a nude lipstick then began shaking her head to loosen her curls.
"So cute, Gabs." Samantha said. She was wearing black one shoulder dress that had an overlapping top and a tight bottom. She had on frosty pink lipglass and winged eyeliner. Her hair was platted in a fishtail going to the side. Gloria was wearing a flowing white dress that stopped about three inches under her butt. She decided on smokey eyes and dark pink lipstick. Her hair was straight for once with a side part. Her bangs, which were usually hidden, were pushed to the side.
"Okay, we all look great now let's go. We're late picking Taylor up." Gabriella pulled off and they arrived in front of Taylor's home. Taylor slowly came out her front door and closed it quietly. Her hair was in a high bun and her lips were red. She had on a long sleeved, tight, lacy, white dress that had a sweat heart neckline. She quickly ran to the car.
"Hey, guys!" Taylor said when she shut the door. Gabriella began driving.
"It's gonna take us about half an hour to get there." Gabriella announced.
"Do you have your bathing suit?" Samantha asked?
"Of course," Taylor said with a smirk as she pulled it out of her bag. "What are you doing here, Gloria?"
"I didn't wanna miss out on the festivities." She said with a smile.
