"Hey Troy!"
"Uh hi"
"Haha. It's me Brad..."
"Oh man. Haha. You look REALLY different." Troy remembered him with thick rim glasses, a bit chubby, blond hair, shorter, and always wearing shirts that has weird sayings. He remembered seeing him with a shirt with a random quote thatsaid "Snails are slow" and that's all it said.
"Yeah, I've changed a lot."
"Yeah, oh, come on in. I found your stuff out back, so I brought it up into the guest room when I got home."
"Thanks man, I could've done it myself you know..."
"No problem, you're a guest."
"Haha, but I have to pull my own weight around here since I'm gonna be living here for a while…"
"Hah, so what do you want me to do? Carry them back out so you can bring it up yourself?" Troy joked.
"Nah, haha. But thanks."
"No problem. Oh let's go upstairs, my friends are here too, they're spending the weekend here. You can meet them, they go to East too."
"Alright. I've gotta make some friends over here some time right?" He joked and followed Troy upstairs. They walked into the room and found the guys watching TV, and Chad still reading his book leaning against Troy's bed.
"Hey guys this is my cousin Brad."
"Hey wussup guys"
"This is Jason, Zeke, Ryan, and that's Chad over there reading so he can impress his girlfriend haha."
"Haha, nice to meet you guys."
"Man, I seriously wouldn't have recognized you if you didn't say anything at the door." Troy said. He was still shocked from how much they've both changed.
"Yeah well, you look different too."
"Haha, not really…" Troy said trying not to think about it.
"Haha, I remember different. Last time I saw you, you were short with braces, and always had a basketball jersey on."
"My dad always made me wear those..."
"Haha, he's still pushing you?"
"Yep. He's still the same."
"His dad pushes all of us…" Jason said
"You guys all play basketball?" Brad asked
"Yep, how about you… play any sports?" Zeke asked
"I play tennis."
"Sounds cool." Ryan chimed in.
"Ever try basketball?" Chad put his book down.
"Yeah, I play every once in a while, but tennis is more of my thing."
"Haha, well you should play with us since you're here now."
"Sounds good to me. Hey Troy, uhh where's my stuff?"
"Oh, haha I think I should show you your room huh?"
"Haha, yeah that would be good." Troy led him down the hall to the guest room.
"This is your room." Troy said opening the door. Brad found his bags set next to the wall. "You can hang up your stuff in the closet... there's extra hangers inside, and use the dressers over there." He said pointing at them. "I'll show you where everything else is later and I'll let you get settled. I'll be in my room with the guys..."
"Thanks"
Gabriella was laughing.
"There's nothing wrong with smiling… takes less muscles to smile rather than to frown."
"Yeah Gabby, we all know that, stop trying to change the subject…" Sharpay said.
"C'mon Gabby, we're all best friends! Tell us what happened today!" Kelsie pleaded.
"Fine. Haha only because I love you guys."
"YAY!"
"Well, I beat him in a race." That was all she said… she started giggling and she walked into the bathroom, grabbing her pajamas on the way.
"What?" Sharpay said with a blank look on her face.
"That was so unfair." Taylor said. Then they started to laugh a little.
"Oh well, she'll eventually tell us, or we'll find out." Kelsie stated.
"True." Sharpay and Taylor said in unison, "But I still I hate being in suspense." Taylor added. Then they got changed into their pajamas as well once they saw Gabriella come out of the bathroom.
Brad finished hanging up his clothes, and putting the rest of his things in place. He was a really organized person; he had books on top of the desk according to size, clothes separated by color, shirts, pants, etc. He saw Troy walk into the room just as he finished hanging his last shirt in the closet and closing it.
"Hey, your mom and my mom want to talk to you. They did that three-way thing girls like to do. Haha." Troy said.
"Haha alright." He said grabbing the phone from Troy.
"Hey, when you're done, we're watching a movie downstairs and pizza is on its way if you want to join us."
"Sure." Brad nodded and Troy went back downstairs. "Hello?" He spoke into the receiver. "Yeah, Dad didn't stop me or anything, no worries mom. Yep, Troy is helping me out a lot… He introduced me to his friends and helped me with my stuff… Yep... Mhmmm… Okay… Alright, love you two too. Bye" He hung up the phone, and went downstairs to join the rest of the guys and handed the phone over to Troy.
"Your Mom and Dad are gonna be back Monday night." Brad told him.
"What? They weren't gonna come back until Tuesday night…" Troy said confused.
"Well, I heard your dad in the background talking about a new basketball drill he came up with."
"Great… More drills to go over" Zeke complained.
They all laughed and finished up the movie eating pizza. Jason and Ryan fell asleep on the couches, so the guys didn't wake them up since they were already in their pajamas, they just threw blankets on top and left their pillows for them to use. Then they all went to sleep around 12.
It was only about 9 when the girls were done changing and washing up. So they decided to just talk. Kelsie, Taylor and Sharpay made a bet to see who could get Gabriella to spill what happened in the least amount of attempts, and they told Kelsie to keep track.
"Okay, Gabby we're gonna play 20 questions." Sharpay said in her first attempt.
"Why?" Gabriella answered?
"Because, I'm bored." Sharpay stated. Taylor was trying to think of a way she could get Gabriella to spill.
"No." She simply stated.
"C'mon Gabby, how about ONE question?" She pleaded.
Haha, will she play 20 questions? I mean.. ONE question. HAHA. Yeeeeahh. Well, nows the time to review! I'll probably post another chapter tonight IF i get enough reviews to convince me to HAHA. So go REVIEW so you can get another chapter tonight while its still early! See you in Ch. 15
