Thanks for all of the reviews! I'm glad that you guys liked this chapter! Here's the second date!
Together
Gabriella has been counting the days until Friday and it was finally here! She was hardly paying attention to what they were saying at work. All she was thinking about was the date she was going to go on.
"Gabriella!"
She snapped out of her daydream. "Hhmm?"
"Who's you date tonight?"
"How do you know?"
"You haven't been paying attention at all."
"Oh, yeah, that. Troy is taking me out to dinner."
Taylor squealed. "Oh my god!"
The people looked at them and shushed them.
"Sorry! Go back to work," Taylor said rolling her eyes. "What are you wearing?"
"My dark green dress that matches my darker green jacket."
"Oohh. Good choice. I see your fashion sense is coming back. Now that's the Gabriella I used to know."
She smiled.
"Wear you black shoes and use that on black purse you have. All of that would totally match."
"That was what I was thinking of."
"I see you don't need me to come over tonight."
"Nope. Now if you don't mind, I have to go home and get ready." Gabriella left.
Taylor went to the bathroom and called Chad.
"Hello?" Chad answered.
"Don't you 'hello' me, Danforth. Our plan is running smoothly. The call didn't break them up."
"Don't you forget you're Mrs. Danforth. Yeah, I can tell. Troy's been playing at his best and has been humming tunes of Twinkle Town."
"Good. What if they found out we set them up?"
"They'll thank us because we're the greatest friends they ever had."
"Shut-up. I have to go."
"Okay, remember tonight. Love you."
She smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be looking forward to it. I love you too. Bye."
They hung up.
Meanwhile, same time somewhere else…
Gabriella was finishing fixing her hair and make-up. Her hair was half-up and on her face had natural colors.
They doorbell rang and he was right on time. She grabbed her purse and answered the door.
"Hey, Troy."
"You look beautiful."
"You cleaned up rather nicely too."
He pulled out the roses that were behind his back.
"Oh, Troy, they're beautiful," she said smelling them.
"Ah, yes, but not as beautiful as the woman standing in front of me."
She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"Let's go."
"Okay."
When they got to the restaurant, he helped her at her chair and then he sat down.
"Gabriella, about what I said, forget we talked about it," he said taking her hand in his.
"It's already been forgotten."
They ordered their food and ate. They got the check and headed out. As they were at the door, Chad and Taylor were coming in.
"Hey, guys," Taylor greeted.
"Things going great?" Chad asked.
"Yeah," they replied. Gabriella and Troy looked at each other. "Thanks,"
Chad and Taylor were confused. "For what?"
"We know you guys brought us together," Gabriella replied.
"How did you guys know?"
"Oh, come on. You guys aren't very good at acting. It was written all over your faces," Troy countered.
"Well, we're just returning the favor. You guys brought us together in high school with us planning to break you guys up. And we're still sorry about that."
"You're forgiven. We'll see you guys later."
They said good-bye and left. Troy took her home.
"What are you doing tomorrow?"
"Nothing. Why?"
"I was thinking maybe I could hang out with you. There's a carnival in town."
"I'd love to. You can win me one of those giant stuffed animals."
"Oh, yeah because I'm the best," he said sarcastically.
She smiled. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay, bye."
She kissed his cheek and went inside.
"Yes!" Troy exclaimed and started dancing.
Gabriella opened the door and giggled. "Save your moves and god home. Don't think I saw you standing there for a long time after our last date. I don't want you to get a cold. It's cold out here and I want you to win me a giant stuffed animal."
He blushed and left.
So, what did you think of that? Good, bad, what? Please review!
