A Surprising Meeting


My makeup was ruined. As the tears quickly went down my face, Logan finally spoke up.

"Who the hell was that?" He asked bluntly.

I laughed quietly. "You mean him or the one that was screaming at him?"

"Him."

"My ex boyfriend in high school. He was a total jerk." I crossed my arms and looked at Logan with my I'm-not-saying-anymore look.

"Fine. Whatever, tonight was bad night in the end." Logan finally reached my apartment and stood by the door, his hand leaning on one wall.

"So...I was wondering..." His fingers traced the outline of the brick on the wall.

"What? You wanna come in?" I unlocked the door and then stepped inside.

"No...I was wondering if you could pay for tonight. See, I'm broke, and that's why I didn't ask you to go anywhere fancy for me. So...since you're my girlfriend, you give me the money, and I will give you a kiss." Logan leaned in, closing his eyes.

I pushed him away. "You expect the girl to pay? You know how much tonight costed? About $20 and you can't afford that?"

"Gabi-"

"Don't 'Gabi' me! Why, do you I would pay? Logan...you are a self-centered freak!" I slammed the door in front of his face.

I slid down, back against the wall, and more tears slid down my face. I could hear his car back out of the apartment parking lot and zoom off into the night sky.

"Kinda harsh aren't ya Gabi?" a voice came from the living room.

I groaned. "What do you want Sharpay?"

"Boyfriend troubles? This must be like your...sixth break-up this month?" Sharpay sat down beside me and talked as if she was discussing the weather.

"Guys are so immature these days. I mean, my mom even found the perfect guy!" I pouted.

"Gabi, if it makes you feel better, we'll hit Chip's." This was Sharpay's most favorite way to sympathize any one of my break-ups; Chip's Internet Cafe.

As we drove over to Chip's, Sharpay turned up the radio.

"You've got your mother and your father, every other, telling you what to say," The radio boomed.

Sharpay immediately turned it off. "Kelly Clarkson makes me sick."

"That's Kelly Clarkson? I love Kelly!" Isquealed as I reached over to turn up the volume.

We were arguing over Kelly Clarkson's singing skills all the way to Chip's. As we got into the elevator, I started giggling uncontrollably.

"Another 'Montez Moment' Gabi?" Sharpay stared at me. We made this up together; "Montez Moment". Whenever I was really upset and after Sharpay would cheer me up, I would just break down laughing over the stupid thing.

I nodded, clutching my sides for balance. I was laughing so hard that when this cute guy came into the elevator, I couldn't control myself.I leaned on the guys shoulders for steadiness as I kept giggling.

Sharpay sighed. "Sorry, she's the human-hyena."

The guy chuckled. "She's cute that way."

Suddenly, I stopped. "What?"

The hunk stepped in the middle of me and Sharpay. "I think I said you were cute?"

I looked over his shoulder and saw Sharpay frantically motioning, "Hug him you retard!"

I shook my head at Sharpay. She slapped her forehead.

"Excuse me? I didn't?" The guy seemed to be confused.

I turned to look at the guy. "No, sorry. It was just my friend over there." I pointed at Sharpay as the guy turned to see who I was pointing to.

Sharpay grinned her I'm-so-cute-so-date-me-instead look. The guy smiled.

"This is heaven. I'm surrrounded by babes."

I rolled my eyes. Seeing this as some kind of "flirt-session", Sharpay hit the 8th floor. Chip's was on 12th.

As she stepped out, ignoring my death glare, she waved goodbye to us. "I'll see you later!"

The doors closed and it was just me and the hunk.

"Sorry, but are you like Ashton Kutcher's younger brother?" I couldn't help but ask.

The guy laughed. "No...I'm Parker."

My lips murmured his awfully cute name. "Parker..."

"And you?" he asked as he stepped closer.

"Gabriella."

As we leaned in for a kiss, the elevator doors opened.

A familiar-looking guy stepped in, twirling his basketball. As he whistled, I could not help but gasp.

"Chad?"
