Chapter 2: Hanging out:
"So we'll see you guys tomorrow I guess." I said as we got up.
"Ok. Do you guys want to meet for breakfast?" Anna asked.
"Sure." I said. "Troy?"
"Why not?" Troy said.
"Ok great. Bye." Anna said.
"Later guys!" I said. Then we left.
"Man I can't believe Gabi came back! I mean I thought she forgot about us." Katie said.
"Yeah. But I'm glad she did. But if only she didn't bring Troy." Jake said with a mad face.
"You're jealous!" Seth said.
"Well I mean I've had a crush on her since the 6th grade! And when I saw her again today, she looked...so hot!" Jake said.
"Well maybe if you had made a move before she moved to New Mexico, she wouldn't of brought her boyfriend." Anna said.
"Or gotten one." Kayla said.
"Yeah well it's a little too late for that isn't it." Jake said.
"Maybe not! You know maybe if you do make a move on Gabi, she'll dump hair boy and go with you." Seth suggested.
"Seth!" Kayla, Anna, Sarah, and Katie yelled.
"What? I'm just trying to help!" Seth explained.
"Thanks Seth. I think I'll do that." Jake said. Then he called Gabi.
"Hello." I said in the cab.
"Hey Gabi. It's me Jake." Jake said.
"Hey Jake. What's up?" I asked.
"Ok can I ask you something?" Jake asked.
"Sure. Anything." I said.
"Ok but before I ask you, I've wanted to ask you this ever since the 6th grade." Jake explained.
"Ok..." I said.
"OK...Um...will you go out with me?" Jake asked.
"Jake you know I have a boyfriend." I said.
"Yeah well I though that maybe you liked me more than you liked him." Jake said.
"Jake! I love Troy ok! I don't love you. Well I love you like a brother but not in that way." I said.
"What?" Troy yelled.
"Oh come on Gabi! We've known each other since the second grade. And you've known Troy since your sophomore year." Jake said.
"Yeah well I still love Troy. Ok I always have ever since the very first time I met him at the ski lodge when we first sang together." I exlpained. "I do not love you!"
Then I hung up. Did I just say that out loud?
"You've loved me since then?" Troy asked.
"Uhh..." I studdered.
"Have you?" Troy asked.
"Uh...yes. I have. I mean when you first sang with me on that stage I thought you were like totally hot, and then when we were talking outside and exchanged phone numbers then I left I didn't think I'd ever see you again." I said.
"Yeah I felt that way too." Troy said.
"And I also thought that since Sharpay was like pretty much flirting with you all the time I thought maybe you had a thing for her too." I explained with a laugh.
"Well I guess I kind of thought Sharpay was cute in our freshman year but when you came along things totally changed. I thought you were like the most beautiful girl I had ever seen." Troy explained.
"Really? Thanks." I said giving him a kiss.
"Ahhh...that is so sweet!" The cab driver said sarcastically. "Don't make me gag!"
Yeah well turn around again and I will gag! Look in the mirror and you'll see why. Back at the hotel.
"Oh. I'm tired. I'm just gonna go get my pajamas on and go to bed." I explained.
"Ok." Troy said. Then I went into the bathroom and got into them and laid down.
"Goodnight." I said.
"Goodnight." Troy said watching some tv.
"Ok. I'm not tired. I'll just watch some tv." I said after about a few seconds of trying to fall asleep.
The next morning.
"Troy?" I asked not seeing him in the room. But then he came in with some chips.
"Hey. I just went down stairs and got a little breakfast." Troy said.
"Chips?" I asked.
"That's all they got." Troy said.
"Ok. Well you do know were meeting everyone for breakfast." I said.
"Yeah. But I have a big appatite right now." Troy explained. "When are we leaving?"
"I don't know. I better call one of them." I said. Then I called Katie.
"Hello." Katie said.
"Hey Katie. Um when are we getting breakfast?" I asked.
"Well I talked to everyone else and we thought about 10:00." Katie explained.
"Ok." I said. "Where?"
"Um...Perkins." She explained.
"Ok. Sounds good." I said.
"Bye." Katie said.
"Bye." I said then hung up.
"Where are we going?" Troy asked.
"Perkins at 10:00." I explained.
"Well you might want to start getting ready cause it's 9:00 right now." Troy explained.
"Oh shit!" I said. Then I jumped into the shower.
20 minutes later. I came out with a pink sparkley tank-top and a blue jean skirt.
"Ooo...you look hot." Troy said giving me a kiss.
"Well if you want me to say the same thing put on something hot." I explained.
"Ok." Troy said then went into the bathroom then came out with a blue t-shirt and some jeans.
"Now you look hot." I said giving him a kiss.
"Thanks." Troy said. Then I finished putting on my make-up then he put his arm around my waist and we left for breakfast.
"Hey guys!" Anna said as we walked up to their table.
"Hey." I said.
Jake's POV:
Oh man! Gabriella looks even hotter today! Right when I thoght she couldn't look hotter.
Gabriella's POV:
"So how long are you guys staying?" Sarah asked.
"For 2 weeks." I explained.
"Ok." Sarah said. "Oh and by the way we've like told everyone in school that new you that you're back and so we're having a party tonight."
Then I laughed a little.
"What?" Sarah asked.
"Who's hosting the party?" I asked.
"Me." Sarah said. Then I laughed a little again.
"What?" Sarah asked.
"Oh nothing. It's just I never thought of you as a party person." I said.
"Yeah well people usually change over 3 years Gabi." Sarah said.
"I know." I said. "Like I did. With singing."
"Exactly." Sarah said. All of a sudden I noticed people looking over at me. I guess they remember me. I know they were all from our school. Then some guy came over to me.
"Hey Gabriella. I saw you on tv yesterday dancing to that song. You were really good." Some guy said to me.
"Thanks..." I said not knowing his name.
"I'm Josh." Josh said.
"Hi. Josh." I said while Josh was kind of checking me out.
"And I'm Troy. Gabriella's boyfriend." Troy interupted.
"Hi." Josh said. "Were you the guy dancing kind of like right along with her?"
"Yeah." Troy said.
"Well you guys were really good." Josh said. "But why were you guys like...singing about wildcats?"
"Because that was our school mascot." I said.
"Oh. Well it was totally awesome." Josh said.
"Thanks." I said.
"But you know you guys don't look so much the same. I mean you seem to look younger in it." Josh said.
"That's because we did that 3 years ago." Troy explained.
"Oh. Yeah I used to live here and then I moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico and we did that after our basketball team won the championship." I explained.
"I shot the winning basket." Troy bragged. I laughed a little.
"Well it was great." Josh said then walked away.
"Hey Gabriella!" A girl named Lindsay said to me. But we weren't friends at all. I mean she never talked to me.
"Oh hi...Lindsay." I said confused that she was talking to me.
"So like I we saw you on tv yesterday." Lindsay said.
"Oh really. What'd you think?" I asked.
"It was awesome! Cause like you are such a good singer and dancer." Lindsay complimented.
"Thank you." I said.
"And you must be the guy who was like dancing along with her." Lindsay said.
"That's me. Troy Bolton." Troy said holding out a hand.
"Lindsay Parker." Lindsay said shaking his hand. "You are a really good singer and dancer too."
"Thanks." Troy said.
"So what are you doing here?" Lindsay asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"What I mean is...didn't you move away like what 2 years ago?" Lindsay asked.
"3 years actually. And yes. I did move away. But I just missed this place and all my friends up here so I decided to come and visit." I explained.
"Oh. So um...is like Troy one of your friends?" Lindsay asked.
"Well actually he's my boyfriend." I explained.
"Boyfriend. I guess I should of known that because I mean you guys on tv like when you came together like that when you like spun into his arms, I should of known something was going on with you two." Lindsay said.
"Well nothing was really quite yet. I mean sure he kissed me once and we tried to kiss again but Chad interupted but we were really close. But actually also before that I won our school's scolastic decatholon compition, and me and Troy beat these 2 people out of our school's musical. There was Sharpay the girl that when under the bridge that Ryan made by jumping on those people. And then also Troy won the basketball championship." I explained.
"Ah huh." Lindsay said with a face that says 'Like I care' "Well you guys did really well. So I just wanted to tell you that."
Then she walked away. Then we ordered our food and ate it then left. And we went to the beach. And there was people singing on a stage there. I guess it was like a kareoke thing.
"Hey Gabi. You and Troy should go sing up there!" Sarah suggested.
"I don't know Sarah." I said.
"Yeah!" Anna and Kayla said.
"Hey Gabi, we should do it." Troy said.
"Well..." I said.
"Come on Gabi!" Anna said.
"Fine." I said.
"Alright! Any more volunteers to come up and rock this beach!" The MC exclaimed.
"Right here!" Sarah said pointing to me and Troy. "They do!"
"Ok. Come on up here!" He said. Then we went up there. "What song do you guys want to sing to?"
He handed us a song list.
"Oh look Troy there's 'Start of Something New'." I said.
"Do you wanna sing that?" Troy asked.
"Sure." I said. "This song."
"Ok. That's a good one. Uh first why don't you guys introduce yourself to the crowd." He said.
"Ok. Well I'm Gabriella Montez." I said. Then people started to talk.
"And I'm Troy Bolton." Troy said then the music started.
Livin in my own world...

Everyone cheered and clapped. And we walked off the stage.
"You guys that was awesome!" Anna said.
"Thanks." I said.
"That was really good." Kayla said.
"Yeah." Sarah and the rest of them said.
"But uh...how did you guys know that song without looking at the words over there?" Jake asked.
"Oh. Well that song was the song we were forced to sing in front of people before we met. And that's how we met." I explained.
"Oh cool." Kayla said.
"Yeah." I said.
"Well you guys have to sing at my party tonight." Sarah said.
"Sure." I said.
"Ok." Troy said. Then me and Troy went back to the hotel so we could get ready for the party tonight. "So what are you gonna wear?"
"I don't know. Probably just like this pink tank-top and some jeans this time." I explained.
"Ok." Troy said. Then I got dressed. "So what time is the party?"
"8:00." I said.
"Ok." Troy said. Then we heard a knock at the door.
"Hello..." I said not realizing who it was.
"Hey Gabi!" My best friend Sierra exclaimed giving me a hug.
"Hey Sierra!" I said letting her in.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Well Sarah told me that you were in town and I wanted to see you. So she told me you were staying here." Sierra said.
"Yeah well. Here I am." I said.
"Who are you?" Sierra asked.
"I'm Troy. Gabriella's boyfriend." Troy said.
"Well hi Troy. I'm Gabriella's best friend Sierra." Sierra said.
"Hi." Troy said.
"Oh and I saw you on tv yesterday!" Sierra said. "You were great!"
"Thanks!" I said.
"And so were you Troy." Sierra said. "Where did all that singing and dancing come from? I've never seen you do that."
"Yeah well I guess I've had a singing talent for a while." I explained.
"Cool." Sierra said.
