I put a poll up on my profile for you to vote for how long y'all want this story to be. Please vote! Also, I put up a HSM oneshot. It's rather cute, I have to admit. Ha and back by popular demand, I'm going to be starting up the 'dedicated to someone...'s again (go back and check chapters 8-10, I added them there too). I didn't realize that they were that amusing ha ha. I'm also very sorry it's taking so long between posts. All the blame goes on school! Oh and I also plan on posting a Valentine's day one-shot (possibly two shot).

Dedicated to someone who thinks his convertible Miata is a manly car and apparently knows less about cars than I do. Now that's extremely sad. He doesn't even know when he has a dead battery or not!

I obviously don't own anything you recognize, if I did, I wouldn't be here writing for free, on a site for all to see. There's a good chance that I don't own things you don't recognize either. Sigh, but I do own Edward. I think I'll put him on ebay and see how much I can get.

"Hey! Ryan, wait up!" Zeke called as ran towards Ryan who had stopped and turned around.

"What's up Zeke?" Ryan asked as he caught up with him. The two started walking again.

"I was just wondering what you know about Edward Mills. He seems rather suspicious."

"Ah yes…I know some things that I'm not allowed to tell. Everything else thought I'm willing to tell you." Ryan replied looking a little bit nervous. Zeke looked at him very suspiciously.

"Who told you these things that you're not allowed to say?"

"I highly doubt I'm allowed to tell you that even." Ryan said looking guilty.

"Is it just me or does he seem to have something against Troy and Gabriella?" Zeke asked knowing that Ryan either kept his secrets really well or spilled them easily. So he was going to do his best to get him to spill.

"It's not just you probably." Ryan replied and immediately regretted it.

"You were passing out fliers with Gabi today right?" Zeke asked watching Ryan carefully as they kept walking.

"Yes, why?" Ryan asked confused.

"What were you talking about?" Zeke asked.

"Her and Edward."

"Ah. How does she know Edward?" Zeke asked, smiling triumphantly.

"No comment." Ryan responded, glad he at least kept part of the secret. "Please don't say anything to anyone else though!"

"Ok, but what's with him? Zeke said agreeing, but still very curious.

"Basically he's an idiot and a cheater."

"Hm. Ok so why was Gabi so mean to him?" "No comment, but Gabi probably won't be so unhappy later today." Ryan replied smiling widely.

Snowflake Hills Lodge Dining Room

11:30 A.M.

"So are you two going to be doing anything for the talent show?" Taylor asked Gabriella and Troy, who were sitting across from her and Chad. The four of them were eating lunch together before the huge snowball fight that was that afternoon.

"No, no, no! I've done enough singing for a while!" Troy responded shaking his head.

"Oh come on Troy! It's Christmas! It's either this or we're doing karaoke to a song we haven't practiced!" Gabriella said, really wanting to do it. She thought it would be something good to get her mind of a certain idiot.

"All of the girls are doing something together." Taylor said excited. Chad rolled his eyes.

"I think all of the guys should do something together too." Gabriella said, just wanting to see Chad's reaction.

"Heck no! I don't dance or sing." Chad said shaking his head wildly. Gabriella and Taylor tried to repress their giggle as he continued to rant, Troy joining in at some parts. Taking advantage of the boys attention on ranting, Taylor looked at Gabriella and mouthed 'Have you told him?'

'No.' Gabriella mouthed back frowning. Didn't Taylor realize how hard this would be to explain?

'Do it now!' Taylor replied back and then tapping Chad on the shoulder.

"Chad, come on lets go. I wanted to show you something." Taylor said standing up and pulling hard on her boyfriend's sleeve.

"Uh ok, can I bring my lunch?" He asked in true Chad style. Taylor rolled her eyes.

"Whatever, just come on!" She responded pulling him away. Gabriella watched Troy as he watched the two leave.

"Troy, I've got to tell you something." Gabriella said turning around in her chair to face his.

"What? Is something wrong?" Troy asked, also turning, and noticing the look on her face.

"Thanks for making the picnic Gabriella." Edward said as they both stood next to her car.

"Well you hadn't ever been on a picnic and that's just wrong." She replied smiling. She should have left the park half an hour ago since she had to go to church with her mom in twenty minutes, but she just couldn't. She wanted to spend more time with him and couldn't help it. She for the first time in her life, actually liked a guy and he liked her back. Heck, she had even admitted it to him after much prompting from her new friend that she had made here in Michigan.

"So you said that you had a question that you wanted to ask me today?" Gabriella asked, extremely nervous, hoping it was the question she thought it was.

"Yeah, I completely forgot about that." Edward responded laughing nervously and changing the subject. She let him ramble on about who knows what before she opened her car door, sat down, and turned on the car, which also turned on the radio of course. One of her favorite songs was on, Another Saturday Night , by Sam Cooke.

"Edward, seriously what was the question?" She asked, getting rather annoyed, especially since she really couldn't wait any longer.

"Maybe I should just wait until tomorrow at school so the anticipation can build." Edward said laughing nervously again. Gabriella gave him a look that plainly said 'tell me now or I'll strangle you and then proceed to run you over.' He coughed nervously then asked "Will you be my girlfriend?"

Gabriella gave him a shy smile and then answered with a quiet "Yes." He smiled back.

"Well I guess I won't be having one of those Saturday nights where I don't have nobody." She said happily.

"What?" Edward asked very confused.

"Oh, it's just the song on the radio, it's a great song, you should listen to it sometime. It's about a guy moving to a new place and he doesn't know anyone so he's sitting at home alone on Saturday night with no date. Huh, actually describes my life pretty well up until now." Gabriella said with a look of realization on her face.

"Funny how those things work out huh?" Edward said moving a little closer to her.

"Yup." She said going back to being shy, then remembering something. "Edward, I've got to tell you something."

"What?" He asked, still smiling.

"There's a good chance that I'll move again soon."

"Helllooo, Gabriella?" Troy said waving a hand in front of her face. Why was she acting so weird these last couple of days?

"Sorry, just remembered something." Gabriella said, mentally slapping herself for thinking of that at this particular moment.

"Okay…" Troy said, then remembering something, "Hey Edward said something about you being mean to him yesterday. I'm guessing it's not true, but I'm just curious as to what happened."

"Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about actually." Gabriella replied. Annoyingly, the fact that he had hit the nail on the head before she had said anything was making it harder for her.

"Troy, Gabriella! The snowball fight is starting!" Yelled a very excited Chad from across the large room. Taylor looked at him disapprovingly before hitting him on the shoulder, resulting in a just as loud yell of 'Ow!'

"Sometimes, I seriously sit and wonder how they like each other." Troy said, forgetting about their conversation moments before and standing up.

"Yeah…" Gabriella responded, mad at herself for chickening out and mad at Chad. The two of them followed Taylor and Chad out.

The rules for the snowball fight were simple: boys vs. girls and don't hit the little kids with the snowballs hard. Everyone but the employees, Sharpay, her cousin Amanda, and some of the parents were in on the fight.

Gabriella was having a great time, but was still having issues since she hadn't told Troy yet. She was pelting snowballs at Chad's back, when all of a sudden she was hit with one from behind. She turned to find Edward and his oldest nephew Jake standing beside a huge pile of snowballs.

"Gah!" She half yelled and started making a snowball. She looked up from finishing her perfect snowball to see a snowball hit both Edward and Jake in the face. She laughed loudly as they attempted to get all the snow off.

"Now was that a perfect hit or what?" Taylor yelled loudly from about ten feet away. She was standing with Ryan, who had a very satisfied grin. Gabriella ran over as well as she could in snow to the two.

"I thought it was boys vs. girls?" She asked Ryan as he threw another one that also hit Edward.

"Well, he's acting like a girl, that's got to count for something. I heard he's been causing drama. Have you told Troy yet?" Ryan replied.

"No, not yet. I was about to, but Chad-"

"No need to finish your sentence." Ryan replied laughing. "Here, I know how to fix this." He grabbed Gabriella and dragged her off, causing her to squeak in surprise.

"Troy! I'm leaving you in charge of our hostage!" Ryan yelled as he continued dragging Gabriella.

"Awesome, she's a beautiful hostage too." Troy said throwing his snowball to Chad, who in turn threw it at his older sister.

Troy grabbed her arm once she and Ryan got close enough and kissed her.

"Your lips are cold." He said after they broke away from each other.

"Well, we are having a snowball fight." She replied laughing.

"True." He replied picking her up and dropping her in a huge pile of snow. She squealed in surprise, but quickly recovered and made a snowball and threw it at him before he could do anything else.

"Hey! You're the hostage not me!" He said getting on his knees, then pulling her up to his level, and then kissing her again. She reveled in the kiss, knowing it might be the last one after what she was about to tell him.

"Did you know that I really like you?" Troy asked smiling.

"I think I had an inkling." She said smiling back as the two of them stood up. He hugged her tightly.

"Troy, we never finished what we were talking about earlier." She said after they broke away.

"Oh yeah, we didn't huh?"

She was about to answer again, but he kissed her again.

"Ok, now tell me. " He said smiling, facing her, and holding both of her hands as well as he could with his gloves on.

"Well you see Edward-" Gabriella started, but was rudely interrupted by a snowball to the back of the head.

She whipped around, about to yell at whoever it was, but then gasped in surprise.

Woo! Longest chapter so far!
