Settings; Lunch at East High, please R&R

Chapter 3: Lunch and English.

"Dude! Ask her out or some one else will," Chad commanded at lunch.

"NO dude. Besides, who else will?" Troy argued.

"Well since every one knows you like her, that is besides you and her, that makes her cool and any guy would die to date your crush. Plus, she's not exactly ugly dude," Chad pointed out.

"Good point. But, I don't know," Troy said. He looked over at her table. She was talking to Taylor, but what he didn't know was they were talking about him.

(To Gabriella)

"He doesn't like me!" Gabriella said in a whisper yell.

"Yes he does!" Taylor returned the whisper yell.

Gabriella rolled her eyes. She went to dup her tray. When she came back she said, "Fine." She pulled her cell phone out and started walking to the Biology lab. "Bye."

"See ya," Taylor waved, Gabriella returned the waved in a mocking way. "Ha," Taylor laughed under her breath.

(To Troy)

"Dude, what's that buzzing?" Chad asked.

"It's my cell phone, I have a text," Troy explained. He flipped open his phone and read:

Meet me in the

Biology lab ASAP!

Gabriella

"Uh… I got to go guys, catch ya later?" Troy said.

"Ya, aren't ya gonna tell us what it said," Chad asked, not liking feeling left out.

"Later. Bye," Troy leaving.

"Bye," every one at the table said.

"Hey Troy," Gabriella said when he came in. "Sorry to break you away from lunch. But I need to tell you some thing."

"Let me go first," Troy said. Gabriella nodded; she could clearly wait to tell him. "Uh… ya, well. I… uh. Ummm. Right well."

"I really, really like you and what to know if you wanted to go out some time on a date!" Gabriella said in one breath. The moment she was done she cover her mouth like she had swore.

"Ya, sure!" Troy gasped.

"Ok, great well I'll see you later I guess," Gabriella smiled. Then she quickly walked out.

"Totally, bye," Troy said.

"Bye," Gabriella said before closing the door.

"Yes! Finally," Taylor said during free period when Gabriella told her what had happened. "So how did he ask you?"

"He didn't, I did," Gabriella said. "I am so tired of hearing how the guys have to ask the girls out! In my old town, the guys thought they were 'to cool' to ask girls out. It was really annoying, but it built confidence!"

"Right sorry," Taylor apologized.

"No big. Any way, I just said 'Do you want to go out sometime?' and that was that," Gabriella explained.

"Oh, cool" Taylor said.

"Let's go… some where other than the auditorium, I'm bored," Gabriella said as she got up to leave.

"Ok," Taylor said.

"Dude Troy, she asked you out?" Chad asked for about the hundredth time.

"Ya dude. If you ask me that one more time I'm gonna have to start speaking French 'cause you aren't understanding English!" Troy said out of impatience.

"Dude, you can speak French?" Chad asked in a serious tone.

"I'm just gonna walk away now," Troy said as they headed for English class.

They were right by the auditorium when Taylor and Gabriella appeared.

"Hey," Chad and Troy said.

"Hey," the two girls answered. Gabriella asked, "You guys going to English?"

"Ya, you?" Chad said.

"Same," Taylor said as they started walking again. Then it got really quiet between the four.

"I don't like the word 'Chuckled,'" Gabriella said they all stopped and looked at her. "I don't like awkward silences either! Did you ever notice the way awkward is spelled, it's so weird. Oh look class!" and she hurried in to take her seat.

"She really doesn't like awkward silences, does she?" Chad said as they went in, the other two shook their heads 'no.'
