Chapter 13: The party:
Still at the mall.
"Hey Gabriella." Lindsay said.
"Oh. Hi Lindsay." I said.
"So like I'm having a big huge party like on Friday, and like I was wondering if you like wanted to come." Lindsay said repeating like a lot.
"Oh...uh...I don't know." I said looking at the other girls.
"Oh your friends can come too." Lindsay said.
"Ok. Well, guys?" I asked them.
"Sure." Sharpay said.
"Sounds great!" Sarah said.
"Totally." Kayla said.
"Sweet." Taylor and Katie said.
"Sure. Well come." I said.
"Great. Like I said, it's Friday night. At 9:00 to anytime." Lindsay explained.
"Ok." I said.
"Great." Lindsay said then left.
"Well that was weird." Katie said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because before you moved to New Mexico she like totally never talked to you. And now she's inviting you to the her party." Katie said.
"That's so not like her." Sarah said.
"Well I think it just because of the music video, and she just loved it so much." I said.
"Well that could be true." Sarah said.
"Who cares. Let's go looking for an awesome out fit for the party." Sharpay said.
"Yeah." I said then we went to another store.
At the basketball courts.
"So Troy. Have you and Gabi set a date for your wedding yet?" Chad asked.
"Nope." Troy said. "Have you?"
"No." Chad said. "Zeke?"
"No. But we have an idea of when we do want it. We were thinking around July." Zeke explained.
"July?" Troy and Chad asked.
"Dude, July's like only 6 months away." Chad said.
"6 months is enough." Zeke said. "And plus, Sharpay says she doesn't want to wait that long."
"Oh." Chad said.
"Well Gabi's birthdays coming up. So I need you guys to help me throw her a party." Troy explained.
"Sure." Zeke said.
"Were there for you dude." Chad said.
"Good." Troy said.
"Ok could you guys stop talking about marrige. Especially you Troy." Jake said.
"Ok Jake would you just drop it. I mean you don't have any chance with Gabi now." Troy said.
"I might." Jake said.
"Troy's right. You have absolutly no chance." Zeke said. "Gabi is Troy's."
"Well she may be Troy's now. But someday she will be mine." Jake said with a smirk.
"In your dreams." Troy said. Then Jake tried to shoot the ball into the basket, but for the millionth time he didn't make it.
"Uhh..." Jake said. Troy, Chad, and Zeke chuckled a little bit. Jake just gave them an evil look.
At the hotel we are staying at.
"Oh. I gotta go try on this out fit and see how it looks on me!" Sharpay said.
"You already tried it on and saw." Taylor said.
"Well yeah, but I wanna see it on me again." Sharpay said. Then went into the bathroom.
"Uh you guys. Don't you think Sharpay is a little weird?" Sarah asked.
"Sarah." I exclaimed.
"What? Don't you think so?" Sarah asked.
"I sure do." Katie said.
"I do too a little." Kayla said.
"You guys! Sharpay is my best friend! She is not weird." I said.
"Yeah. She's my friend too. She is so not weird." Taylor said.
"Well I thinks she is." Sarah said.
"I mean she is such a drama queen." Kayla said.
"So what?" I asked.
"It just annoys me a little." Kayla said.
"Look. Sharpay may be a drama queen, and she may be weird to you guys. But Sharpay is my best friend. And if you can't accept her as one of my friends, then I can't accept you as one of my friends." I said then I left the room.
"Gabi." Kayla said then ran after me. "Gabi stop!"
But I kept going.
"Gabi!" Kayla yelled then finally stopped me.
"What!" I asked.
"I'm sorry for what I said about Sharpay." Kayla said.
"You know Sharpay is my best friend. And I thought you were too. But I just found out that my best friend doesn't like my new friends." I said.
"Well I don't not like all of them. I just don't like Sharpay, Taylor, and Chad." Kayla said then covered her mouth.
"You dont' like Taylor and Chad?" I exclaimed.
"Well..." Kayla said.
"I can't believe you." I said.
"No you don't get it." I said.
"I think I do. Just because they are my new friends who you don't know, you just have to not like them." I said.
"Gabi." Kayla said.
"No Kayla." I said. "I totally understand. You don't like my new friends so you have to trash talk them."
"You know what. You've changed Gabriella. I mean you left us with this girl who was into her studies and nothing else. And then you come back 3 years later and you are like a singer and dancer with a boyfriend and tons of friends." Kayla explained.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"It just means like that if you didn't move to Albuquerque you would have more friends maybe. And Jake would be your boyfriend. I mean he's the one who really loves you." Kayla said.
"Kayla what are you talking about. Troy loves me with all of his heart. And I would never go out with Jake." I said.
"Oh...ah huh...well if Troy loves you so much how come he was hitting on me yesterday...?" Kayla lied.
"What!" I exclaimed.
"Troy...was hitting on me yesterday... Oh and he tried to kiss me but I told him to stop." Kayla lied.
"What!" I yelled wanting to cry. Then I ran to the boys room. Zeke let me in.
"Hey Gabs." Zeke said. Then I just came storming in over to Troy.
"Hey baby." Troy said. I just threw my engagement ring on his lap and left. "Gabi what's wrong?"
But I just ran out of the room. Then I ran into our bathroom and started crying.
"Gabi?" Everyone asked. Then Troy came and ran in.
"You guys where's Gabi?" Troy asked.
"She ran in the bathroom." Taylor said.
"Gabi?" Troy asked knocking on the door.
"Gabi?" Everyone asked.
"Go away Troy!" I cried.
"Gabi what's wrong?" Troy asked.
"Kayla?" Sharpay asked when she walked in the room. "What's wrong with Gabi?"
"Uh...I don't know..." Kayla lied.
"Gabi come out here." Troy said.
"No!" I cried.
"Why not?" Troy asked.
"Because!" I said.
"Uh...come on Gabi? Why did you throw your ring at me? Did I do something?" Troy asked.
"Oh don't act like you don't know what you did. I know what you did." I said.
"What are you talking about? What did I do?" Troy asked.
"Kayla told me that you were hitting on her yesterday and tried to kiss her." I explained. Kayla just walked out of the room.
"What? I so did not hit on her, and no way did I try to kiss her! She is lying!" Troy explained. Then I open the door.
"What?" I asked.
"Kayla's lying." Troy said.
"Kayla!" I exclaimed. Then I found her in the boys room. "I cannot believe you!"
"What did I do?" Kayla laughed.
"Troy didn't hit on you or try to kiss you!" I said. "You lied to me!"
"Gabi." Kayla said.
"No." I said. "I thought you were my friend."
Then I faced everyone.
"I'm leaving." I said. Then Troy, Sharpay, Taylor, Chad, and Zeke followed me.
"Are you seriously leaving?" Sharpay asked.
"Um hum." I said. "Are you guys coming with me?"
"I am." Troy said.
"Sure." Sharpay and Taylor said.
"Well I guess I will." Chad said.
"Me too." Zeke said.
3 hours later. At the air port.
"Bye Gabi!" Sarah said.
"Bye Sarah." I said giving her a hug.
"Bye Gabs." Katie said as I gave her a hug.
"See ya." I said.
"Bye Gabriella." Jake said.
"Bye Jake." I said giving him a hug too. Then we all said our good byes and left for New Mexico.
"I can't believe she's gone." Sarah said.
"It's all Kayla's fault." Katie said.
"Yeah. If Kayla hadn't of done what she did then they would still be here." Seth said.
"Yeah. I can't believe her." Sarah said.
"I know." Katie said. Then there was a big silence. "So do you guys wanna go get pizza?"
"Sure." Katie said.
"Let's go." Seth and Jake said.
