Chapter 13 A Surprise and a Secret

The 'gang' all looked at Gabriella. They saw her run out the gate. Then they heard, "SCOTT! Oh my gosh! What are you doing here, Scott? I miss you so much! How have you been? Where Bell? How is she?" She just kept on going, talking a mile a minute. Finally, they heard, "Gabi! Stop!"

Gabreilla said, "I missed you so much."

The othe voice said, "Of course you would………Ouch, Gabi you don't have to hit me."

Gabriella said, "Of course I don't I just want to." (A/n Flirting? Maybe?)

Then they heard a third voice. She said, "No hug for your best friend?"

Gabriella screamed, and said, "BELL! I miss you so much!"

Bell said, "I missed you too.

Gabriella said, "What are you guys doing here?"

Bell said, "We're here to stay."

Gabriella said, "Really?"

Bell said, "Yup. Here to stay, it's some exchange student thingy."

Gabriella said, "That's great. For how long?"

Bell said, "A month I think."

Gabriella said, "That's so cool."

Bell said, "I want to see this city."

Gabriella said, "This city is so beautiful. I'll show you guys around now if you want."

Bell said, "Yea! But first, who lives there?"

Gabriella said, "Oh that's one of my best friend's houses."

Bell said, "Oh so now you have more then one best friend."

Gabriella said, "Yea, I have four."

Bell said, "Wow, are you going to introduces us or are we just going to said out here?"

Gabriella said, "Oh yea, come on." Gabriella led them to Taylor's backyard. Bell was on Gabriella's side and Scott was behind them, looking like he was dating one of them. No one knew who or if he was dating one of them.

Gabriella said, "Ok so, everybody this is my best friend, Bell, and my other friend, Scott, from my old school. And that is Taylor, her boyfriend, Chad, Kelsi, her boyfriend, Jason, Violet, her boyfriend, Ryan, Melissa, and her boyfriend, Zeke." Gabriella was out of breathe by the end.

Bell said, "Who are they?" Pointing at Sharpay then to Troy.

Gabriella said, "Oh, that my ex-boyfriend, Troy, and the girl he broke up with me for."

Bell said, "So that's what Sharpay looks like."

Gabriella said, "Yup. So, I guess we should get going?"

Bell said, "Yea, UI guess."

Gabriella said, "Ok let's go." She was heading for the gate.

Taylor said, "Hey, Gabi, are we stilling going shopping for prom dresses?"

Gabriella turned around, and said, "Of course. Can Bell go?"

Taylor said, "Of course."

Gabriella said, "Ok, I'll call ya tonight."

Bell said, "Hey Gabi, do you still have that ………"

Gabriella's eyes widen and interrupted her by saying, "Bell!"

Bell said, "What, I was just wondering………"

Gabriella said, "Ok let's go. Bye guys." Gabriella pushed her two friends out the gate.

The 'gang' heard Bell say, "What, I was just wondering if you still had that dress you wore it the last dress?"

Gabriella said, "Well, I only wore the dress cause it was a dare, and next time someone dares me that I'll say no."

Bell laughed, and said, "Hey I didn't think you would actually do it. And there was nothing wrong with that dress."

Gabriella yelled, "IT WASN'T THAT BAD?"

Bell said, "You don't have to yell. Ok so the dress was revealing. So what? That night you got asked out so many times that……….."

Gabriella said, "Ok, let's go."

Scott said, "So are we got to walk or go ride in a car?"

Gabriella said, "It don't matter, but if we go on a car ride, I want to drive."

Bell said, "Let's go on a car ride. I got shotgun."

Scott said, "Aww, you guys I always have to sit in the back."

Gabriella said, "Then you won't mind now."

Scott said, "Excuse me."

Gabriella said, "You heard me."

Then they heard Gabriella scream, and then her say, "Put me down now Scott."

Bell said, "Stop! Gosh, you guys at like ya have been dating forever." Scott put Gabriela down quickly and they got into the car.

Gabriella said, "You know that we wouldn't date."

Scott said, "Yea, we're like brother and sister."

Bell said, "I know but it got you to stop." She laughed and they went to see the city. (A/N I don't know what's in their city so, that's all I'm putting about sightseeing.)

Scot said, "Hey can we stop by the park?"

Gabriella said, "Sure. When do you want to go? Now or in a little bit?"

Scott said, "Later I guess."

They went sightseeing and Bell and Scott thought it was a beautiful city. When they got to the park Bell said, "Hey Scott, can you walk around, so Gabi and I can talk?"

Scott said, "Sure. See you guys in a little bit. Call me when ya finish."

Gabriella said, "What do you want to talk about?"

Bell said, "How's school?" Bell was going to wait before she got to the real topic.

Back to the gang…………….

Chad said, "I wonder what the dress looked like."

Taylor said, "Me, too. And I wondering how revealing."

Everyone agreed.

Then Sharpay wanted to go and she made Troy go with her. Then the rest of them showered and everything, they decided to go to the park. They were talking and then they heard Gabriella talking to Bell. Bell finally got to the real topic.

Bell said, "So, Gabi how was your relationship with Troy?"

Gabriella said, "Well, It went far enough."

Bell said, "So did it go to the love level?"

Gabriella said sadly, "Yea."

Bell said, "Gabi, you said you wouldn't go there anymore."

Gabriella said, kind of tearing up, "Yea, I thought I wasn't either, but I thought he was the one, but I guess not right?"

Bell said, "I'm sorry Gabi. It's just that I don't want you hurt."

Gabriella said, "Yea, you should have seen me then when he just broke up with me."

Bell said, "I'm sorry Gabi."

Gabriella said, "Its fine. I just can't believe that I thought he was different."

Bell said, "Yea, but you know that most guys aren't. I mean look at your past."

Gabriella said, "I know. It's just that I don't see what the blondes have that I don't. I mean I have a brain. I just can't say the same for them." They shared a laugh. Gabriella continued, "I mean like every boyfriend I had would break up with me for a blonde or cheat on me with a blonde,"

Bell said, "I'm sorry that I brought the past back up."

Gabriella said, "No, it's just what do they have?" Gabriella was crying now. She said, "You know, Bell, none of my new friends, know about me and how guys always leave me for a blonde."

Bell said, "Really?"

Gabriella said, "Nope."

Bell said, "Come on lets go find Scott and we'll go back to your house."

Gabriella said, "Ok."

Back to the 'gang'………….

Taylor, Kelsi, Violet, and Melissa said, "Wow."

Chad said, "I can't believe that would happen to Gabi."

Jason said, "I know, she's so sweet."

Ryan said, "And Troy had to do it too."

Zeke said, "I think we should go now."

Everyone agreed. They all left.

Gabriella decided that the girls should come over and have a sleepover. So, they could get to know Bell, and then they could go look at dresses. The other girls agreed.

Taylor said, "So, how long have you two known each other?"

Gabriella said, "Since like forever. I think since kindergarten. I moved cause my mom wanted to move away from the place my dad died from."

Kelsi said, "Oh, I'm sorry Gabriella. "

Gabriella said, "Oh, its okay."

Violet said, "So, what's going on with you guys and Scott?"

Bell said, "Oh, well when we were little he was nice to us, and mean to other people. And one day the popular girls were being mean to us, but they were flirting with Scott. Scott thought that if they were going to be mean to us, and want to hang out with him, he wasn't going to hang out with them cause we were his friends."

Gabriella said, "Yea, I still remember that day. Hey is there anything between you and Scott now?"

Melissa said, "What do you mean by now?"

Gabriella said, "Well, I know that Bell has always had a crush on Scott. I want to know if she ever told him."

Bell said, "I can't believe you just said that." Bell got up to chase Gabriella, but Gabriella was smart enough to jump up and run first. Gabriella ran all the way down the stairs. The doorbell rang, and Gabriella yelled, "Can ya get that? I'm kinda busy." Taylor got the door and all the guys stood there watching Bell chase Gabriella laughing.

Bell yelled, "I can't believe you just told them that. It wasn't that oblivious."

Gabriella said, "Hey you almost told them about the dress you made me wear to the dance."

Bell stopped and said, 'What? You want me to tell them now? I mean it was so……" Before she could finish Gabriella tackled her. Then Gabriella said, "I don't think so, and if you dare tell them, I'll about you and your………." Bell put her hand over Gabriella's mouth, and said, "Fine."

Chad had stopped laughing and said, "We just wanted to know if you guys wanted to go to the movies with us."

Taylor said, "Let me ask them first. Do ya want to go to the movies with the guys?"

Bell said, "Sure, can Scott go?"

Chad said, "Yea."

The girls agreed and went to change. The guys watched TV while they waited. The girls just changed and got ready.

A/N Weird about the boyfriend/blonde think Just a though. I have nothing against blondes. Well, please review.
