Kelsie, Taylor, and Sharpay finally arrived at the mall.

"Whoa. I can't believe I've lived in Albuquerque my whole life, and never heard of this place." Kelsie said as they got out of the car.

"Are you serious!" Sharpay was shocked She came here at least once a month.

"Yeah, I only come out here like once or twice a year." Taylor added as they walked into the doors."

"WHOA!" Kelsie said again, this time her jaw dropped. "This place is HUGE!"

"Haha, it's only about three times bigger than our local mall." Sharpay said.

"Yeah, and you know, there are even bigger malls than this in other places." Taylor added.

They walked around the mall, and bought things, the barely got to the second floor when they decided to eat. They saw the food court on the first floor, but decided they weren't hungry yet, but once they got to the second floor and saw the second floor food court, they were starving. After they ate, they continued on with the second floor, and made their way to the third. They all bought new clothes; Sharpay even bought a few pairs of shoes. After 5 or 6 hours at the mall they were done. Taylor and Kelsie were exhausted, but Sharpay was used to shopping long hours so she offered to drive home.


Surprisingly the guys went to the same mall as the girls. But they didn't run into each other since the place was so big. They were all clueless of what to buy. They walked in and out of stores empty-handed. They stopped to eat on the first floor when they first saw it, about the same time girls stopped to eat on the second floor. They walked through the second floor empty-handed. The guys were getting near the end of the third floor when they noticed a store called Loved Ones. They all walked in, and the whole store was dedicated to anything that had to do with love. After walking around they all found presents for the girls and went to the register to pay. Chad even bought a book with over 1000 ways to be sweet, romantic, and thoughtful; he thought it could help him as well as the rest of the gang plus it was on sale. After that, all the guys agreed that they should get going since it was 7:45.
Troy and Gabriella walked around hand in hand going on rides, and playing games. He won her a fat penguin after trying to knock down all the pins in a game 6 times. The guy running the booth helped Troy out by kicking the table to knock the rest of the pins down knowing that Troy was trying to impress Gabriella. Luckily she didn't notice. Then they walked by a photo booth, and Gabriella spotted it. She pulled Troy inside and they sat down.

"Haha, I've always wanted to take pictures in one of these, but every time my friends and I found one, they were always broken." she said, putting the $3 in.

"Haha, you're weird sometimes..." he smiled

"And so are you" she said looking at him smiling back. Then there was a flash, and the booth took the photo. They laughed then looked at the little camera together and smiled. Right before the camera was about to flash, Troy kissed her cheek while she was smiling, and the booth to another photo.

"Haha" she blushed, "Can't we take a normal one?"

"Haha, fine" Troy said. They both smiled at the camera again, this time Gabriella turned and kissed his cheek when the booth took the photo.

"I thought we were taking a normal one?" Troy asked surprised.

"I lied" she giggled. They had one more picture left. They both made weird faces, thinking that the other wouldn't notice, which they didn't. Then they walked out and waited for their pictures to be developed. The picture strips finally came out, giving double prints, once for each of them. Gabriella looked at them, laughed, and pulled him back into the booth.

"Okay, we're gonna take a normal picture this time." She said inserting the money again.

"If you say so." They smiled at the camera, and then the booth took the picture. They sat there and looked at each other while they waited for the next picture, Troy leaned in to kiss her on the lips, and the booth took a photo as he was leaning in. It took another photo when they finally kissed. The fourth picture was taken when they broke apart, looking at each other.

They walked out and waited for the pictures again this time in silence. They got the pictures and Gabriella handed him his copies. Then Gabriella finally broke the silence.

"Uhhm, I think we should get going. It's getting dark." She said.

"Yeah, this place is about to close soon." They walked out to Troy's car and the car ride home was silent. When they arrived Troy got out of the car to open the door for Gabriella.

"I guess the girls went out, Taylor's car is gone." Gabriella said as they were walking to her porch.

"Oh, do you want me to wait here until they come back?" Troy asked.

"No, it's okay, I'm a big girl" she laughed. "Thank you for offering though"

"Anytime."

"I had a great time today, thank you."

"Yeah I did too. Uhh... I was wondering if you wanted to go somewhere with me on Monday. So what do you say?"

"Hmm. No. I think I'll pass." She said.

Troy had a facial expression that said "what did you say?"

"Haha, I'm kidding Troy, I'd love to." She said.

"Great." He smiled, and leaned in to kiss her, this one was a little bit longer than the one in the photo booth.

"Uhm I should get going, my cousin is gonna be at my house soon, I'll call you later."

"Okay, bye!" she said waving as he left. She opened the front door, and leaned on it as she closed it. Wow she thought and went upstairs to change with a huge smile on. Wow Troy thought as he got into his car, he paused for a second giving it time to sink in, then drove off.


After Gabriella finished changing, she sat down on her bed and looked at the 8 pictures she and Troy took together, staring at them for a few minutes. She put them back inside her purse; suddenly she heard the front door open and footsteps trailing up the stairs.

"Hey Gabby are you here?" They called out.

"Yeah, I'm in my room." Then Kelsie, Sharpay, and Taylor walked into the room. "So where did you three go?"

"We went to the mall... the one that's like 30 minutes away" Sharpay answered.

"Hmm I've never been there yet."

"Oh my goodness, that place is gigantic." Kelsie said laughing.

"Haha you should've seen Kelsie's reaction when we walked in." Taylor said laughing.

"Anyways, how was your day with Troy?"

"Great actually, even if he was late I don't think it made much of a difference." Gabriella said with the smile she had on after she and Troy kissed.

"Okay Gabby, spill." Taylor said. "Yeah" Sharpay and Kelsie chimed in.

"I know you well enough to know that you're hiding something" Taylor said.

"Hmm?" Gabriella wasn't paying attention. "What did you say?"

"Wow, you're not even paying attention, something did happen!" Taylor said excited.


Troy pulled up in his driveway, and got out of the car, and went inside to find an empty house. He went out to the back porch to see if Brad dropped off his stuff, and found a few bags of things piled up right next to the door. Troy brought them inside up into the guest room to save Brad the trouble since he was a guest in the house, then went into his room and took out the pictures he took with Gabby. He was lying down on his bed when he heard the doorknob start to open, and quickly put the pictures back in to his pocket. Jason, Zeke, Chad and Ryan walked in without suspecting anything.

"Hey guys."

"Hey Troy" They all said back

"So where'd you all go?" Troy asked.

"We went to that far mall to go find things for the girls for Valentine's Day…" Chad said while he was reading the book he bought.

"Oh. Wow Chad, you're actually reading…" Troy chuckled.

"Yeah well, like they say 'love makes you do crazy things'" Chad said looking up from his book. "Besides this thing has some pretty good ideas."

"What is it?" Troy asked.

"It basically gives you ideas of how to be romantic and sweet and all that stuff" Zeke answered him since Chad fell silent, reading again.

"Oh, haha, I think I'll borrow that sometime then." Troy laughed. Then the doorbell rang.

"That's probably Brad" Troy said. "I'll be right back guys." He said walking out of his room. He ran down the stairs an opened the door. There was a guy standing at the door, around 6"1', slim, short spiked brown hair, lightly tanned around the same tone as Gabriella, greenish-brown eyes, his face was a similar resemblance to Troy, he was wearing a brown dress shirt buttoned halfway with a wife beater under, torn jeans and brown sandals, and had his hands in his pockets. This was Brad.
