Chapter Two: Party Prep

Free Period was over so Gabbi and Troy had to get back to class. They had one more and then they could get home. The party at Sharpay's was tonight, but they had two days off this week for some teacher 's grading day. Finally, school was out and they both could get home and get ready. "Hey Troy!" Gabriella said happy to see him.

"Oh hey!" Troy smiled at her. You are coming to the party right?"

"Yep. I know you're going."

"You got that right. It should be fun," Troy said in a hopeful voice. They were walking home and Gabbi's house was close to his, so they walked home together.

"Are you going to sing at Karaoke?" Gabriella hoped he would say yes.

"Uh, yea, if you are that is," he replied.

"I am going to sing, but are you still scared about singing after you performed for the like, whole grade?"

"No, just still shocked you know?"

"Yeah," she sighed. She was excited that she made the musical, but what if she froze up again like she did the last time? That wouldn't be to good. "Alright, here's my house. See you at the party!" Gabbi exclaimed.

"See ya!"

Troy's Thoughts:

"I was happy and excited about the dance/party thing, but also, a bit disappointed because all of my friends had dates except me. I was thinking about asking Gabbi out, but I was to afraid. Maybe, because I thought she didn't like me the same way. Although, we did almost kiss at the Championship games, but maybe it was just the heat of the moment. Who knows right?"

Gabriella's Thoughts:

"I do like Troy. A lot. Should I ask him out? Nah, I'd just look silly... Maybe he likes me, maybe not. She could have Taylor ask him if he likes her for me, but that might make me look silly. Like, a third grader. I'll find someway to hook up with him."

Troy rushed into his house. It was 3:30pm, the party started at 5:00pm. He had an hour and a half. He went upstairs, took a shower, and then styled his hair. Alls he really did was, towel dry it, put a bit of gel in it and tousle the front of it a bit. Just to give it the gel, messy look. But only to a small section in the front. He threw on his robe and went to pick out an outfit. He didn't want it to be to dressy, but not underdressed either. Just then, he heard his phone ring. He picked it up and on the front of the phone, the picture of Sharpay Evans appeared. "Hello?"

"Hey Troy! I just wanted to let you know that the theme of the party, is Hawaiian Nights. See ya there," she hung up.

"Okay then..." Troy now found it a bit easier to find an outfit. He found some knee length shorts and a white tee and a orange Hawaiian shirt. He left the Hawaiian shirt unbuttoned to reveal a the white tee. He found some brown flip-flops. He looked himself over in the mirror. "Alright, this looks good," he said. He looked at his watch. It was 4:45. "Did it really take me that long to shower?" he pondered. "Guess so." His cell beeped. He checked it and there was a text from Sharpay. It read,

Limo will arrive at 4:48 at your house.

Wow, Sharpay was having limos to pick the guests up. There were probably about three limos picking up like, six people each. He stood at the door and waited.

Gabriella went into her house and upstairs to her room. She received two texts from Sharpay. One about the theme and one about limos. She went into her room and looked in her closet. She had a light pink and white Hawaiian-styled knee length dress. It was decent. She laid it on her bed as she went to take a shower. She got out and toweled off. She put her robe on and then blow dried her hair straight. She did have to use a straightner though. She washed her face with her cleanser and then applied make-up. Light pink eye-shadow, a little blush, mascara and lipgloss. All she needed. She threw on her dress and brushed her hair out. She looked pretty good. Her limo would arrive at 4:50. She ran down the stairs and waited at the door. It was 4:47.
