(AN: okay Hi! I decided I'm going to continue this story because you all deserved it!)
Ch. 8- The Movie
The next morning, Saturday, Gabriella woke up as tired as she would ever be. She decided to write in her diary.
Okay! Last night was amazing! It was the dance and I was having the time of my life, then Troy gets up on stage and puts on this amazing slideshow of me and him with the CD of me singing in the background! It was soooo sweet! Then he asked me to dance and then WE KISSED!
Just then, Gabi's phone rang. She looked at the caller ID: Troy . Gabi squealed as she picked up the phone.
"Hey!" She said.
"Hey, Gabi, uhh do you wanna go out with me today around 1ish?"
"Like on a date!" She said reminding herself of Taylor.
"Yeah…"
"Of course I will, Troy!"
"So, does that mean we're going out now?"
"Well, considering what happened last night…yeah!"
"AWESOME!"
"I do love you Troy…"
"I love you too."
"Kay see you at 1."
"Kay bye"
Gabi hung up the phone and screamed "YES!"
What she didn't know was that her mom was standing in the doorway watching her talk on the phone the whole time.
"Who was that, and who do you love other than me? You said Troy?"
"OH! I didn't tell you…?"
"OH! No."
"Oh, heh heh. About that. Troy and I are going out now…" She said cautiously not knowing what her mother's expression would be.
"FINALLY! I thought I'd never see the day."
"Funny, funny, very funny." She said sarcastically.
"So how'd it happen?"
"OOO come sit down!" Gabi said patting the spot on her bed next to her.
"Okay, so yesterday, at the dance, Troy made this really cool slideshow thing of me with a CD of me singing in the background…"
Her mom's expression didn't change from its serious state.
"Well, you had to be there…. So anyway, after that he asked me if I would dance with him. So we did and it was a slow dance. Then I told him I love him and he told me he did and we kissed!"
"Awww, my little baby's growing up!"
"Mom! Stop!"
"I'm sorry… and if you have a date at one, you better start getting ready, it's 12:00!"
"Oh my God!" Gabi screeched jumping out of bed.
She got dressed in a jean pleated skirt and a black tank top. By the time 1:00 rolled around, she was practically jumping off of the ceiling.
The doorbell rang and she ran to get it.
"Hey!" She greeted Troy and kissed his cheek.
"Hey, ready to go?" He asked.
"Yeah! Bye mom!" she called upstairs.
"Bye honey!" She heard her mom call back down.
They got into Jack's car and Gabriella said hi to him.
"So Troy, where're we going?"
"You'll see…"
"Ewww, I can't be patient!"
Troy laughed.
"What's so funny?"
"You sound like a five year old!"
"Oh you're gonna get it!" Gabi screeched and she started poking him over and over.
"Oh, now you are!" Troy shouted and started tickling her.
"AHHH!" Gabi screamed with tickling pain.
They both laughed so much by the time that they arrived at their destination, Gabriella was screaming. But Gabi didn't know they were there, so she kept poking Troy and he stopped tickling her.
"GABI WE'RE HERE!" He yelled over her screeches.
"Oh, okay, why didn't you just say so?"
Troy rolled his eyes at her. They got out of the car and Troy and Gabi said goodbye to Troy's dad. Gabi looked around and found that they were at the movies. Eh, I can live with it. She told herself.
"What are we seeing?"
"We're seeing, The Notebook"
"But, that's already out on DVD…I have it..." Gabi said questioningly.
"I know, but it's your favorite movie, so I got the movie theater people to play it on the big screen in a theater reserved just for us."
"AWWW thank you! I love that movie and you!" She said poking him on the nose.
"I love you too." He said and closed the space between them.
"Oh! Come on, we're gonna be late!" Gabi said breakingfree (AN:haha get it? breking free?)from his embraceand looking at her watch that said 12:52.
They got popcorn and candy and soda. "Cause soda's awesome!" Troy said after ordering his Pepsi.
"You're strange…" Gabi giggled. (AN: try saying that five times fast!)
"I know."
Suddenly, Gabi spilled hot popcorn butter on her leg.
"Damn!" She cursed.
"Oh my God! Gabriella Anne Montez cursed?" Troy gasped, obviously faking it.
Gabi put a finger on her bottom lip and made and 'o' with her mouth. She also put on an innocent face to make it the full effect.
"Come on! Let's go see the movie!" Said Troy getting off topic and skipping down to the ticket ripper guy. Gabriella watched him with one eyebrow up. Where'd he get so much energy? She asked herself as she watched him still skipping singing We're Off to See the Wizard. She shrugged her shoulders and joined him in his singing, skipping fun.
When they reached the ticket dude, Troy gave him tickets that said 'Reserved Theater' on them.
"Theater 12 is on your right." He told them.
"Thank you!" Troy said.
They entered the theater and picked a row at the top and settled into the movie holding hands with their fingers laced.
"Aww! I love the end!" Gabi cooed as they still sat in the theater listening to the music of the credits and talking.
"You like when Alli and Noah die?"
"No, the way they died!" Gabi said with a 'duh' look on her face.
Troy continued to look confused.
"Weren't you paying attention?"
"At the end? No. I was staring at you. But then you started crying so I just saw them die."
"Aww, that's very sweet, but since you didn't get the end, I'll tell you.
"Noah went into Alli's hospital room and lay down with her and they both died hand-in-hand." Gabi explained, tears starting to fall down her cheek. Troy brushed them off softly with his thumb and cupped her cheek with his hand.
"Promise me we'll die like that?" He whispered before capturing her soul and his into a gentle, slow kiss that seemed to go on forever. They slowly broke apart when Gabi said "Of course we'll die like that, but not any time in the near future."
They leaned in for another kiss but this one was only a minute because Troy's dad was waiting for them outside.
(AN: There ya go, hope you like it!)
