Julia walked home by herself since Gabriella wantedto finish he book report. She got home,dropped her things and went to the kitchen to get a snack. She grabbed an apple and notice a note from her mom on the refreigator.
Gabi&Julia
I got the dates mixed up with the
conference so I was actually supposed
to there today. So your father is coming
over today and behave and listen to him. I
will call to check up on some things
Love ya,
mom
Like we're gonna listen to dad Julia thought. She was about to crumple the note when she notice that there was another note attached to it.
Girls,
I'll be home very late tonight
so I want you two to order pizza
I don't when I'll be home so
behave!
Love
dad
She rolled her eyes and crumple both notes and threw it in the trash. She plopped herself onto the couch and watch TRL until her sister came home. After she was done watching television she picked up the phone and dialed Gabriella's cell phone number.
"Hello"Gabriella said.
"Hey Gabi,it's Julia!You won't believe it but mom got the dates mixed up so she's at the conference right now"Julia said.
Gabriella chuckled and said"That's so like mom"!
Julia smiled and said"Well dad's coming home late tonight so he wants us to order pizza..sound cool with you"?
"Totally"Gabriella said.
"So where are you"?Julia asked.
"Oh over at Troy's house"Gabriella said. Julia snickered and giggled.
"Oh come on..we're not doing anything!We're doing homework"Gabriella protested. But Julia could hear Troy saying something and Gabriella giggling.
"Yea..sure..."Julia said sarcastically laughing.
"Oh come on his parents are home...we wouldn't do something if his apents are home"!Gabriella said.
"So you're saying that you would do something if his parents weren't home"?Julia asked smiling.
"Oh fine don't believe me!Look I gotta go..I'll be home soon"Gabriella said.
"Okay!Bye"Julia said.
"Bye"Gabriella said. They both hung up. Afte Julia hung up,she went and called the pizza parlor.
Meanwhile after Gabriella hung she plopped herself back on the couch next to Troy.
"What was that all about"?Troy asked.
"Oh nothing..just my sis teasing me"Gabriella said.
Troy smiled and asked"Does she always do that"/
"Yeah..sometimes it seems funny I mean she's sorta the person in the family who can always cheer anyone up"Gabriella said.
"So she's the funny sister in the family"Troy said.
"Yeah"Gabriella said.
Later that day when Gabriella came home Julia was sitting on the couch watching television.
"Hey what's up"?Julia said happily when she noticed Gabriella.
"Oh nothing"Gabriella said.
"Um hmm..oh I left you some pizza for you in the kitchen"Julia said.
"Oh thanks...I'm starving"Gabriella said.
"You didn't eat anything at Troy's house"Julia said.
"No...we were too busy doing our homework"Gabriella said. Or too busy making out...Julia thought.
"Oh and make sure you leave some pizza for dad"Julia said. Gabriella nodded and headed into the kitchen. A few minutes later Gabriella came in and sat on the couch next to Julia.
"Hey where were you today at lunch..the others were kinda getting worried"Julia said.
"Well I was at the library reading"Gabriella said.
"Oh..they also noticed that was something wrong with you especially Troy..I think he saw you wince this morning when he hugged you"Julia said.
"Was it that noticable"?Gabriella asked. Julia nodded.
"Well did you tell them about this weekend"?Gabriella asked. Julia let out a heavy sigh and said"Well I should of told them but I didn't".
"Why did you think that you shoulda told them"?Gabriella asked.
"Because they would understand..they're our friends especially Troy"Julia said.
"No!They wouldn't understand"Gabriella said.
"Fine let me ask you this question..why do you like Troy"?Julia said.
"Because he's sweet,caring,understanding..."Gabriella started as Julia cut her off.
"See!You just said understanding"!Julia said.
"I know but I'm scared that he'll do something he'll regret"Gabriella said.
"Ohhh..you mean that he's gonna hunt dad down and murder him"Julia said smiling.
"Exactly"Gabriella said.
"Then tell him not to"Julia said.
"It's not easy changing Troy's mind about something..especially something like this"Gabriella said.
"So he's overprotective"Julia said.
"Exactly"Gabriella said.
"Well do you like it"?Julia asked.
"Well sometimes..but sometimes he gets alittle too protective"Gabriella said.
"But Troy will understand if you don't dad to murdered"Julia said.
"But sometimes boys are just jerks and they think that everything they do for us are for the best"Gabriella said.
"Hello!Reality check!The boys that you see in the movies..The ones who are jerks,selfish and don't listen to their girlfriends are not like the boys in real life"!Julia said.
"Well some of them are"!Gabriella said.
"Not Troy though...remember when you told me that when you were mad at Troy because you thought he said that he didn't care about the callbacks for the musical and he didn't care about you and then he tried to get you back...None of those boys in the movies would do that"Julia said. There was a moment of silence.
"I guess you're right..I mean it's sweet that Troy did that"Gabriella said.
"See!Now ae you gonna tell him"?Julia said.
"No way"!Gabriella said. There was another moment of silence.
"Maybe later"Gabiella said.
"You mean in college later or in a couple of weeks later"?Julia said
"In a couple of weeks later"Gabriella said. Julia let out a sigh of relief and said"Good".
"Yeah..well I'll be in my room if you need me"Gabriella said getting up. She went upstairs leaving Julia alone.
"Well that was dandy"Julia muttered. Suddenly the phone rang.
"Hello"Julia answered when she picked up.
"Hey!It's Troy"Troy said from the other line.
"Oh hey Troy"Julia said.
"Look Julia I just want to know that if something's wrong with Gabriella you'll tell me right"?Troy said.
"Of course"Julia said.
"Good now is there anything wrong with Gabriella"?Troy said.
"No"Julia lied.
"Okay then can I talk wih Gabriella"?Teroy asked.
"Yeah just hold on"Julia said. She ra upstairs and gave the phone to her sister. As she came downstairs her dad entered through the door.
"Hey Julia"!her dad said cheerfully.
"Hey"Julia said. Gee...dad seems happy today...maybe I should keep him happy Julia thought.
"So how was your day"?Julia asked.
"Okay..what about your first day of school"?dad said.
"It was okay..I mean Gabriella and the others had my back"Julia said.
"Yeah..it's always good to have siblings or cousins at school with you especially at yor first day"dad said.
"Yeah...I guess"Julia said.
"Well I better take a shower"her dad said. He went upstairs.
"Wow!That was shocking"Julia said. She went to her room and stayed there for the rest of the night.
Okay don't get fooled just because their dad is actually acting nice and happy...I mean come on that'll put an end to the story...everything's gonna change in the next chapter or two...well until next time!
