"Good afternoon Miss, Are you Taylor McKessie by any chance?" He asked and smiled at Gabriella. He was about 5'7" with dark brown hair and smokey grey eyes, and looked very young. He was also dressed in a tuxedo, and Gabriella was confused but didn't show it.
"Uhm, no, just one minute, I'll get her.."she excused herself, running back to the living room and beckoned Taylor.."Pssst, Tay!" motioning her hands to come follow her. Kelsie and Sharpay followed, exchanging the looks of confusion as they were walking to the door. "Ohh he's hot!" Sharpay said to Gabriella and Kelsie once she saw him, and they nodded in agreement smiling.
"Taylor McKessie?" the young man asked smiling when they got to the door. "Ohh cute smile too!" Sharpay mumbled and they giggled behind Taylor.
"Yes?"
"Sign here please." He said handing over a clipboard. "Thank you, hold on.." He ran to his car, pulling out a large box. and setting it on the porch, then running back to the car to pull out another box, which was long.. "Ahem," he cleared his voice.. and began to recite "Dear Taylor, I know you seem to hate things my way, But you still seem to put up with me almost everyday. I won't make this poem very long, only because my poetry isn't so strong. I know it sounds really corny in a rhyme, but will you please be mine?" Kelsie and Sharpay giggled from watching the young man's hand movements that he motioned during the poem.. "I think he meant girlfriend.." He commented with a heart-melting smile. "Anyhow, continuing with this" he moved to the long box and opened it and faced the lid towards the girls so that they couldn't see what was inside as he carried it and faced the door. Inside were long-stem roses..He pulled one out, each rose had a different tag, and the man began to recite more as he read the tags..
"This yellow-red tipped rose represents 'Falling in love', as I am with you.." he handed her the rose, and pulled out another as you could hear the three other girls saying "Awww.."
"This yellow rose represents 'Friendship', which I will always cherish our sno matter what." Taylor smiled as she received the rose..
"This pink rose represents 'Admiration & Appreciation', because I admire you, and appreciate what you do." Taylor wondered what she did that would make someone appreciate her..
"This orange rose represents 'Disire', because I have a disire to be with you." Taylor was about to cry of happiness because this was a sweet thought, but held it back.
"This lavender rose represents 'Love at first sight', becuase I've finally realized I've always been so blind.." Gabriella instantly thought about Troy..
"This redrosebud is symbolic of 'Purity and Loveliness', because, well, It's you."
"And last but not least, This red rose represents 'I Love you', which is what I would like to say to you when the time is right." The man handed Gabriella the box in case Taylor wanted to put them back inside and he read the paper he was reading earlier..
"All these roses that you have recieved have no thorns as you can see. I had them taken off just to make sure you're safe, and let you know that I would never hurt you." Once again, all the girls went "Awwwww"
"I wasn't told to open this for you. It says for you to open it whenever you wish to" He said referring to the other box. The girls forgot that there were two boxes. "It says just open it within the next few hours otherwise, well.. yeahh you'll see. Okay, my work here is done. Hope you ladies have a lovely evening."
"You know, you look really familiar.." Gabriella told him before he walked away. He stopped and smiled, and turned away again..
Just as he was about to get into the car, "Excuse me! Do you know who this is from?" Taylor called out..
"I'm sorry I'm supposed to keep it confidential. This is just my job"
"Oh, Okay, thank you!" The girls brought the other box inside up to Gabriella's room and put the roses in a vase on Gariella's desk since they were sleeping over. Sharpay and Kelsie were sitting at the desk reading all the little tags, while Gabriella and Taylor were on the bed glaring at the box..
"Aren't you gonna open it yet Tay?"
"I don't know Gabby.. I wonder who did this.." Sharpay and Kelsie joined them on Gabriella's huge bed.
"I wonder whats inside.." Sharpay trailed off..
"What if it's something alive and we're suffocating it!" Kelsie said the first random thought that came to mind. they all laughed.
"I don't think this person is stupid enough to not put air holes if theres something alive in there.." Gabriella stated
"Or are they?" Sharpay said wondering. Taylor was silent. She had no clue who it was from.
"Okayy, I think I'm ready to open it," she said sitting up and getting off the bed. she stood next to the box, it almost reached her knee and was pretty wide. They found out it wasn't very heavy as they carried it upstairs earlier.
"What if it's a BOMB?" Kelsie shouted..
"KELS!" They shouted back at her..
"Sorry, you guys know me, my imagination can run wild sometimes.. " They all joined Taylor and gathered around the box.. Then Sharpay's cell started to ring.
Back to the guys..(this part is happening when the man arrives at Gabriella's house..)
Troy, Zeke, and Jason were sitting downstairs after playing basket ball for an hour watching TV and eating.
"Wonder where Ryan is.." Jason said blankly.
"Yeah, I thought he would've been here by now." Troy said..Then the doorbell rang.
"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late, I went home to get my stuff, then I had to meet someone, then I got Starbucks for Sharpay and I and dropped it off at Gabby's.." Ryan said almost running out of breath.
"It's okayy man," Troy said, "hmm, now I wonder where Chad is now.." Chad was just pulling in on the driveway and let himself into the house.
"Hey guys sorry I'm late. I had to do something downtown. So what are you guys up to" Chad asked.
"Just TV." Zeke said as he was playing with his cell.
"You guys wanna go to the mall or something?" Jason asked. "I'm getting bored. And the stores won't be open when we go later tonight.."
"Alright," the guys said.
"You're driving Jason since you suggested it!" Chad and Troy said together.
"My car only holds four people though!"
"I'll drive.." Zeke said. "I hate you car Jason. There's little space."
"Haha okay, hey Troy can I shower first? I'm all sweaty from b-ball earlier.." Jason asked
"Yeah go ahead. I need to too." Troy responded "I'll go get you a towel." He ran up the stairs.." Hey Zeke! what about you?" he yelled from upstairs..
"Yeah!" Troy gave the guys towels. Troy took a shower in his bathroom, Zeke in the guest room upstairs, and Jason in the bathroom downstairs. Chad and Ryan just sat on the couch and watched TV while they finished. Then they headed off to the mall, Troy, Chad, Jason and Ryan drove off in Jason's car, and Zeke drove off in his. And took out his cell and dialed a number then put it on speaker..
Sharpay saw that Zeke was calling, so she excused herself knowing that it would be a while until Taylor opened the box and walked out onto Gabriella's balcony.
"Hey Zeke what's up?"
"Hey Sharpay, I was just wondering, would you like to sit by me tonight?"
"Yes! I'd love to! It's soo sweet of you to ask.." she said smiling and looked back into Gabriella's room and saw Taylor bending down to open the box.
"Great!"
"Uhh I gotta go, me and the girls are doing something, see you tonight, Toodles!"
She ran back into the room.."Zeke asked me to sit with him tonight" She said glowing.
"Aww" the girls said. Then they focused their attention back on Taylor & the box. She undid the ribbon, and the box slowly started to open and all the girls stood back. Suddenly, the box burst open and the girls started screaming. Then they looked at what had popped out and started laughing embarrassed of how they responded. Seven red and silver balloons shot out, one with a heart, and the rest spelling out "T-A-Y-L-O-R"
"Deng, This guy is good.." Gabriella said laughing. The balloons were tied to a bear that Taylor pulled out from the bottom of the box. It had magnetic hands that were clasping a note that said "Thanks for today." And she smiled.
"So any idea who it's from?" Kelsie asked.
"Noo,"
"Hmm, I'm a bit hungry, how bout you guys?" Gabriella asked
"Yeahh, let's go eat.." Sharpay said, and they all headed downstairs.
"I'ma put this stuff away really quick." Taylor said and the girls left the room. She was still looking at the little note. She knew that handwriting she knew who it was.. she was surprised.
