Chapter 11 – Stranger (by Hilary Duff)

GPOV

I parked my car and Troy and I walked inside the where Kace and Michael were waiting for us.

"Gabs, are you sure you want to go to the mall? I know you're a girl and all but I'm sure going to the mall is not your thing and this is not your scene." Troy said.

"I know, but when she got here, she loved the mall and the mall loved her and she loved shopping. Armani, Dolce, Hermes, and Chanel became her best friends, you know. Hi, I'm Kace." Kace said sarcastically and I rolled my eyes.

"I saw that little lady." She said when she caught my little gesture.

"Sorry. And Kace, I haven't changed that much. I just learned how to dress well. Right, Troy?" I asked him.

"Right." He slowy answered, hesitantly and gave me a weak smile.

"It'll be alright." I whispered to him. "Hey Kace, I almost forgot to introduce you guys. Troy, this is Kace Bailey, my best friend since I got here and Kace, this is Troy Bolton, my best friend since birth." They shook hands and I asked, "Where's Michael?"

"Oh, I almost forgot that I got here with my brother. I told him to get me a chocolate frappe from Starbucks. Do you guys want some? I can text him to get you some." She said.

"I'll pass." Troy said. "Me, too." I added.

"Okay." She said and as if on cue, Michael walked towards us and gave Kace her frappe.

"Hey there, Gab. Who's your friend? Haven't seen him around." He said.

"Hi Michael. This is Troy Bolton, my ever-loving, best friend and Troy, this is Michael, Kace's brother." I said introducing them to each other and the bumped fists and gave each other man-hugs.

We walked around and Michael started blurting things about him and basketball.

"Y'know, I play ball for Seattle High, I'm the captain." He said proudly.

"And Michael, have I told you that Troy is the captain and star player of East High. He has numerous offers from different universities for his collegiate basketball career. Example, University Of Albuquerque Red Hawks." I said for Troy.

"Gabs, seriously." Troy said giving me a knowing look.

"Sorry, I had to." I mouthed.

"Oh." Michael said and kept his mouth shut but gave Troy a very questioning look but I shook it off.

Kace POV

Michael gave Troy a very irritated look and he didn't seem to notice. This is going to be a lot easier. Troy may know Gabriella since they were little but what he doesn't know is that this tomboy has grown into a very sophisticated and girly girl. If he only knew the person Gabriella is now, he will realize that he was a fool to just let her go and that the best thing he could do is to just leave. I just hope that he is smart enough to know this kind of stuff.

I shook off my thoughts and turned to Gabriella, "Hey, let's go to the arcade first." She agreed and she and Troy walked in front of me and my brother. I nodded to Michael's direction and mouthed, "It's time for our plan." He nodded back and we pursued our plan.

When we got to the arcade, Troy and Michael battled each other on the racing arcade and Troy won. My idiotic brother. At times like these, can he afford not to be so geeky Ugh. I have got to do something.

"You're good, Troy. What other things are you good at?" I said.

"Oh Kace, there are tons." Gabriella answered for Troy. "But there's one thing, though. He still can't beat me at air hockey. I wonder are you any good now, Troy?" she continued. Perfect!I thought to myself.

"I've been practicing, Miss Gabriella. In fact, I challenge you to a game of air hockey," Troy said.

"Oh anytime, Bolton." She replied and the two headed to the air hockey table with me and Michael following behind.

(AN: Sorry. I don't know how to play air hockey. Yikes. Sorry 'bout that.)

The two played and Gabriella beat Troy. He was right, she was good at this. Now, time to rub in his face that she doesn't need this stupid game and she doesn't need him.

I took the opportunity when my brother was keeping Gabby busy when he asked her to play air hockey with him.

"So, Troy, why'd you come here?" I said straight to the point.

"What? I got totally lost with that one."

"Ugh. Did you come here to hurt her again?"

"I would never do that."

"You did before, what makes you think you can't do it again, huh? You chose some plastic surgery product over her. Don't you see? Her life here is so different from the one that she had before. This one's better." I said and he frowned.

"You know what, Kace? From the minute I saw you and your brother, I knew that there was something off with the two of you. Yes, I agree that Gabriella has a whole new world here and I reckon that she likes it. But I know her more than you. Sure, she's changed and I've hurt her before. But look, we solved it. We understand each other and I think that is why our friendship works. I don't know about you but if you're really smart, I think you should back off." He said then walked away.

Troy frickin' Bolton is getting into my nerves.

And cut! Sorry that was short but I think that one's intense! I need ideas for the next chapter. Review in your suggestions for a meaner Kace alright? I love you guys and follow me if you have a twitter acct.: /denise1717. Thanks for reading!
