Chapter 8

Troy was with the guys and his mom getting fitted for their tuxedos.

"Okay so Mr. Bolton." Amber speaks walking out holding a garment bag with a tuxedo in it.

"This is yours." Troy didn't want Amber too come but Gabriella insisted, she told him that she made everything easier and it's true she did. Nicole was with Gabriella helping them with their dress fittings at another bridal store.

Amber continued passing out tuxedos that the employee of the tuxedo store was holding on her arms. Amber instructed everyone to get dressed.

The guys walked into the dressing rooms to change into their tuxedos.

"Troy be honest, do you really want to marry this girl?" James asked him.

"Can you guys stop acting like this is going to be one of the biggest mistakes of my life! Yes! Yes! I love her." Troy exclaims as he changes.

"Are you sure you want to spend the rest or your life with her, are you sure you really love her." Chad asks.

"Yes, Chad! I love Gabriella to death." He says and walked out.

"Why do you guys not want him to marry her anyway?" Marcos asked. "I won't tell Gabi."

"Because, she's an airhead. No offense, but her and Troy have nothing in common!" Chad exclaims. "It's as if he's in high school again trying to date a cheerleader he's only going to be interested in for about a month then he leaves her. Troy was nothing but a playboy in high school and we don't want him to marry her then wake up and realize he doesn't even want to be with her."

"My sister really loves Troy, like she loves him a lot, and if he's just playing with her heart why would he ask to marry her? Why would he tell he loves her everyday? Why would he go to any length to make her smile?" Marcos asks.

"But we know Troy. You don't know him. You just met him, we know how he used to act and the stuff he does. You don't." Chad says.

"Yeah, and I know love. Troy wouldn't dare hurt my sister. He wouldn't do all of this so he could break it off with my sister. He loves her too much." Marcos says.

"Whatever, believe what you want to believe." Chad mumbles.

"I don't understand why you guys can't just support him." Zeke mumbles.

"I hope he leaves her on their wedding day, that'd be hilarious." Chad laughs and glares.

"Are you guys done yet." Amber opens the door seeing them ready. "Fabulous, lets go!" she opens the door wider and they all walk out seeing Troy sitting by his mom glaring at Chad.

"Do you like how they fit?" Amber asks the employee and Troy.

"Yeah." they both replied. Troy's phone rang he smiled and answered it.

"Hello." he says.

"Hey." his fiance's voice rings throw the phone.

"Is everything okay? Do you need anything?"

"Well us girls are going to a day spa after we go dress shopping instead of going to the planner. So we were wondering if you guys could go to the planner and pick the wine, candies, center pieces, and anything else that isn't done yet?"

"You girls are all getting along?"

"Well Taylor isn't coming she's on her way to their with you guys but Casey is getting along with Stella."

"That's great. We'd love to do it, but are you sure you want me to do it?"

"Don't worry Sharpay picked the wine and that other stuff and she told Zeke so he knows what to do. Oh! And can you guys pick up stuff for the scrapbook at the art store. That'd be great!"

"Uh, yeah we can do that too. So are we eating out for dinner?"

"I made reservations at a sports bar like you asked. It's called Red's, it's on the pier park."

"Okay what time?"

"At 7:30."

"Okay I'll be there at 7:30 with the guys."

"It's under Bolton."

"Okay."

"I love you, and I gotta go bye. Love you."

He was about to reply until he heard the dial tone. He laughed.

"Who was that?" his mom asked.

"El-Gabriella. Her and the girls are having girls day out, so us guys have to do their errands." he smiles at his mom.

"Troy, can I ask you something?" his mother asked.

"Yeah, what is it?" he says.

"I just want to know the truth Troy, why are you marrying this girl. Why are you wasting you time on this girl when you could find yourself a working girl, a girl who's not materialistic, a girl who doesn't look like she'd make a good barbie, a girl who would actually be a good mother, a girl who'd you love to have family with. Troy, she isn't anything you want in a girl. She's just some heiress with a lot of money coming to her after she marries you, have you thought about that? Have you ever thought that is was just about the money. That she's just doing this to get those billions she's in line for Troy?" his mother said.

"Gabriella can't get the money until she's been married for atleast a year, she has to start her own business or have a career, and she has to have a kid or one on the way." Troy says and looks at his mom. "She already told me about it, mom. I know, okay."

"What about having a working girl, a girl who you want to have a family with, someone who isn't materialistic or a good barbie, a girl who can be a good mother to your future children. She's none of those Troy, she's not anything you want. So why are you wasting your time?"

"I'm not mom." he snaps angry. "Gabriella may not be a working woman, ready for a family, unmaterialistic, she's going to be a good mother. And mom, you wanted me to marry a woman like that. You wanted me to marry a woman exactly like me. I don't want that. I didn't want that. And I never will. Gabriella she's...I'm in love with her mom. Everything from her smile to crazy obsessions to her jokes. She's the one and I'm not wasting my time."

They all get up and leave the store, leaving Amber behind to do the rest of the work.

"Even your mother agrees!" Chad says. "You're wasting your time, she's trash-"

"Don't you dare call my damn wife trash." Troy snaps.

"She's not even you wife yet." James says.

"She shouldn't even be your wife, you're wasting your time on some heiress barbie doll. She's nothing but an airhead, and I bet she's good in bed too. So I understand why-"

"Can you just fucking shut up." Troy growls. "It's none of your business if she's good in bed."

"Troy! Can you please just listen too us, and think about this?" His mother begs.

"Mom! I thought about it long enough, and I can't see my life without Gabriella in it! I love her mom, and I don't understand how many times I have to tell you and everyone else that. I'm marrying her and there's nothing you can do to stop it. I mean honestly why are you here, if you're just trying to ruin it. Just leave." Troy says then turns around feeling guilty about how he talked to his mom. He walks to his car and gets in it. He sees Gabriella calling and answers it.

"Hello?"

"Gabi just tell us. Why are you marrying my brother! We really wanna know plus we won't tell him!" Troy heard Casey's voice ring through the phone. He felt like Romeo in Shakespears Romeo and Juliet play during Juliets soliliquy. He was eavesdropping but she had accidently called him and he wanted to hear what she had to say.

"Like what do you wanna know?" Gabriella said.

"What do you like about him?" He heard Stella ask.

"It's the little things, that no one really pays attention to." He hears Gabriella's voice and he can tell she's blushing.

"Like what?" He hears Sharpay squeal.

"Well, don't tell him this but the first time I ever saw him. He was outside at the park down the street from me, Sharpay, and Cat's dormitory buildings. He was playing basketball with some guys, he was shirtless, and oh my goodness I almost fainted. He does this cute thing whenever he shoots, I don't know he like licks his lips and oh my goodness it's so hot!" Gabriella squeals loudly and he laughs quietly.

"Shut up." He hears Casey whispering to him over the line. "I'm not trying to get caught." He smirks. His sister is such a sneak.

"How'd you guys meet?" He hears Stella asking laughing.

"You never told me that story!" He hears Sharpay whining loudly.

"Where's my phone!" He smiles when he hear Gabriella yell. The line goes dead and Troy thinks about the time they first met.
