Chapter 7! Yay! Ze date…

Chapter 6 recap

I have never noticed this with other girls. Or maybe I just spend too much time with Sharpay.

-End of chapter recap-

It was a Saturday, The 5 girls had slept over at Kelsi's house, they were singing songs, playing "Truth or Dare" and had a movie marathon. You know, the normal stuff normal teens do in normal sleepovers.

"I need to go shopping!' Taylor randomly said

"Uhm, I heard there was a new mall here somewhere, Troy knows about it. I'll go ask him now." Gabi left the room to call Troy.

"Yeah, we need to shop for Drea's outfit too…" Sharpay was thinking about what color would best go with her.

"Oh, okay." Drea was really excited about her date tomorrow, she left for the bathroom and got ready.

As soon as they were done getting ready, Troy called and asked if the guys could go with them. Of course, they all agreed.

They met up at Kelsi's house, to pick up the girls. Gabi was wearing a light blue shirt, and a white mini skirt, Sharpay was wearing a pink long-sleeved shirt and white pants, Taylor was wearing a green polo shirt, white Capri pants and big sunglasses, Kelsi was wearing a blue t-shirt with a sequined heart and jeans, Drea was wearing a pink sleeveless top, short black pants and a black beaded necklace.

Troy and Gabi rose in Troy's car, Chad and Taylor in Chad's car, Jason and Kelsi in Jason's car and Zeke, Sharpay and Drea in Zeke's car. Ryan couldn't go because he said he had some stuff to take care of.

They left for the new Albuquerque mall, they took about 30 minutes to get there, but it was all worth it. The new mall was huge, there weren't that much people because it was still 10:00 am, the time it opened. The girls and boys split up and decided to met in the food court for lunch. The boys said they didn't want to spend 2 hours following the girls try out clothes that came in shops they didn't dare enter. They were going to go to the CDs shop, and the place where they sell DVDs and other stuff, they would also go to internet cafes after, so they wouldn't get bored. ((A/N: I have no idea what guys do in malls, so forgive me.))

After 2 hours ((A/N: This is pretty short shopping time, don't cha think?)), they all met up in the food court and ate lunch. The girls had came with more than 3 bags each, and the guys had very little shopping bags, they didn't go shopping as much as the girls. They all ordered food, ate, then went home.

Drea was lying down in her bed, thinking about the next day. She was happy she was able to buy an outfit, and she hoped Ryan would like her in it.

-Flashback-

"Are you sure this'll look good on me? What if Ryan won't like me in it?" Drea was doubtful

"He'll like you in anything, Ryan isn't one of those shallow guys, you know." Gabi was trying to help Drea realize that.

"Okay, thanks, I'll buy it." Drea got the clothes and headed to the cashier.

-end of flashback-

Her cell phone rang to the tune of "Walk Away" by Kelly Clarkson, she saw that Ryan was trying to call her.

"Hey, Ry!" Drea answered the phone.

"Hi! About, tomorrow, how about I pick you up at 6 p.m.?" Ryan was hoping she didn't have to cancel.

"6 sounds great, but I have to be back at 9, okay?"

"Of course, See you a 6, then. Bye."

"Bye" Drea put her cell phone back on her table and fell asleep, dreaming about the next day.

-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-

It was 5:30 pm, Drea was getting ready for her date with Ryan.

She was wearing a striped pink and orange shirt, a beige skirt with a pink ribbon and pink ballet flats. She wore a little makeup, just brown eye shadow and pink lip gloss, she didn't like wearing makeup that much. She was waiting downstairs for Ryan, her mom said she would meet Ryan at the door, and see if she would "approve of the young man taking you out."

At 6:05, Ryan came to her house, with a bouquet of daisies.

"Hi, Mrs. Cruz, I'm Ryan, here to pick up Drea." Ryan was wearing a blue button-down shirt, a khaki casual blazer ((A/N: Or whatever you call it)) and brown pants.

"Oh, hello. Drea's in the living room, come in." Mrs. Cruz liked Ryan, and thought that he was very gentleman-like.

Ryan saw Drea, gave her the daisies and brought her to his car.

"Thanks for the flowers…" Drea was smiling

"No problem, you look great." Ryan was driving to where their date would be.

"Thanks, so do you. Where are we going?" Drea was really excited, and she wanted to be there right now.

"It's a surprise." Ryan had a mischievous smile on his face

-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-

Ryan had drove to a park about 25 minutes away from Drea's house.

He led Drea to a small hill with a tree full of lights, there was a table in the middle of the hill.

"Ryan, you did this…for me?" Drea looked really surprised, and her face was turning pink.

"No, that's for my other date tonight." Ryan joked "Of course I did this for you."

"You are so sweet." Drea kissed Ryan in the cheek, and Ryan was the one blushing now. "Thank you."

"We gotta go and eat...Haha" Ryan held Drea's hand and led her to the table.

There was pasta and garlic bread on the table ((A/N: Don't worry, Ryan asked Zeke to watch over the meal, so no flies or whatever went to it, Zeke also cooked the meal. He could bake AND cook)).

"This is amazing." Drea looked up to Ryan and smiled.

"Let's eat. I'm pretty hungry from walking up here, haha"

They ate their dinner, and talked about school, life and everything else. They couldn't believe how easy it was to talk to each other, considering this was their first date together.

After their dinner, Ryan led Drea to the other bottom of the hill so they could go stargazing. The sky was dark, and the stars were so bright.

"I used to go here with my dad when I was little. Every weekend, we would go up here, just me and him. He would talk to me, give me advice on everything…I really miss him." Ryan lay down on the grass, and so did Drea.

"Why? Where is he?" Drea wondered why he missed his dad.

"He died 2 years ago, in a car crash." Ryan's face was the same as a while ago, kind of emotionless.

"Oh, Ryan, I'm really sorry…" Drea looked a him

"No, it's okay. Everything's done now, nothing I can do about it. He always told me to look at the Brightside of life, you know."

Drea understood how important this place was to Ryan.

"Have you ever seen a more beautiful sight?" Drea was looking up at all the stars.

"Yeah, I have…I'm looking at her right now." Ryan was looking at Drea, and Drea was looking a Ryan.

"Do you know how cheesy that was?" Drea joked

"Yeah…but it's true." Ryan leaned in to Drea and kissed her, Drea kissed him back, and after 2 minutes, they stopped.

"This night is amazing…" Drea was looking into Ryan's eyes, she was a little shocked by the kiss, but she kissed him again, this time, she leaned in, but Ryan met her in the middle.

"You're amazing."

-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-

Drea was in her bed thinking about the night. Ryan had just brought her home, 5 minutes ago. She was thinking about calling one of the girls, but she decided not to. She would tell them tomorrow, but Sharpay was probably forcing every detail out of Ryan as she lay down in bed. She would never forget that night.

-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-HSM-

Ryan went in his house and was about to go o the living room to watch TV, but Sharpay saw him and ran to him.

"Well…?" Sharpay's hands were gripping Sharpay's shoulders as if she were about to shake him.

"Well what?" Ryan was obviously playing dumb.

"Ryan, I've known you my whole life. You have that goofy grin in your face. WHAT HAPPENED?" Sharpay was pleading for information.

"Well…it was a very nice night. Sweet Dreams." Ryan went to his room upstairs and fell asleep, leaving Sharpay to herself.

"I guess I'll have to call Drea." She got her cell phone from the couch and dialed Drea's number.

Drea's house

'I'm just looking for attention, not another question...' Drea's cell phone was ringing, she knew it was one of the girls, most probably Sharpay, so she didn't answer it. She turned her phone off, and drifted of to sleep, dreaming of what happened just minutes ago…
