Gabriella woke up at around 4 in the afternoon. She rolled over to find Selena already awake and looking through her phone.
"Any new messages?" Gabriella asked.
Selena sighed and said, "Just from the girls asking if you ever came home. Not that important if you ask me."
Gabriella laughed and said "Well, what are we doing today? I mean, with the rest of today seeing as its already 4 in the afternoon."
"I say we just stay here, in our PJs, and order some pizza or something," Selena replied, getting out of bed.
"If you say so. I'll be out in the living room in a bit."
Gabriella rolled out of bed and stretched. She looked at her phone to realize she had tons of missed calls and text messages yet to be answered. She was glad that she put her phone on silence. She looked through the text messages and found out most of them were from her friends. She ignored those and found one from Troy she never replied to last night. She text him back and after having a small conversation she looked through her missed calls. A lot of them were from Brad. She decided to call him back later. She walked into the living room just to find Selena eating some more ice cream.
"You know, you could just text him!" Gabriella said while getting a spoon from the kitchen and joining her on the couch.
"Yeah, I know! But that's just depressing! I mean the GIRL texting the boy? Shouldn't it be the other way around?"
"Yes, but this is Ryan we are talking about! I'm pretty sure he's busy with the opening of his amusement park just weeks from now!"
"Okay, so let's say for argument sake, that he is busy. He can take a break! He has to sleep!"
"Oh my god! Will you just text him! Or I'm texting him myself!"
"Fine! Let me go get my phone!" Selena left leaving Gabriella to watch TV.
She giggled to herself when E! News had asked whether something was going on between Gabriella and Taylor. They said they tried to reach both of their publicist but they wouldn't comment. Now she knew why Brad had called her so many times. She hoped that Troy or neither of her friends would be watching. Knowing Troy he would probably freak out. She looked at her phone and noticed the napkin that Taylor had written his number. She looked at the napkin and copied the number into her phone and sent him a text message. They had a very short conversation as he was filming his latest movie. Gabriella got up from the couch and walked over to her calendar to see if she had anything to do that week. She was glad she didn't. She could use the time off to just relax and not have to think about anything else until next week. She walked back to the couch to get the ice cream and put it back into the freezer. She walked into her room to find a very giggly Selena talking on the phone. She had the volume loud so Gabriella could hear that she was talking to Ryan. Gabriella gave her best friend two thumbs up. The rest of the day was uneventful. The girls ordered pizza and the rest of the night was dedicated to learning the "Friends for Change" song.
Next Day/ Albuquerque
The boys all went to Lava Springs to help their best friend with some stuff. This left the girls free to do anything they wanted until it was time to meet the boys for some dinner. They were all at Taylor's house waiting for Kelsi to arrive so they could all watch the E! News episode from last night. Taylor was in the kitchen getting drinks for all her friends while Sharpay was in the living room. Finally the two girls heard the door open and Kelsi's voice telling them she was there.
"Urgh, about time small person!" Sharpay said, as Kelsi walked into the living room and accepted the glass of ice cold water from Taylor.
"Sorry, got caught up with fixing the arrangement of the songs for the play. Let's get this over with, shall we?" Kelsi said, sitting down on the couch and waiting for the two other girls to follow her lead.
"Alright, here we go. Shall we watch the whole thing? Or fast forward through some stuff?" Taylor asked.
"I say we watch the whole thing!" Sharpay looked over to Kelsi "I don't care! Whatever we say it won't matter and you know that!"
So the girls watched every single piece of celebrity gossip. There were pictures of Gabriella and her friends leaving a restaurant and into a waiting limo. Then, came the piece of information that they were all waiting to hear.
"Stay tuned to find out if these two hot celebrities are shaking up or just friends."
"Fast forward through the commercials! Hurry!!" Sharpay said, slapping Taylor's arm."Owww! Okay okay!" Taylor said rubbing her arm.
"And we are back! Now last night was Chris Brown's Birthday bash! First his famous group of friends hit up Mr. Chow's then they all left to hit the club. Gabriella was seen going with her friends into the club, but was seen leaving with another person. Mr. Taylor Lautner. What is going on between these two? Has Gabriella gotten over Cam? Has Taylor split from his rumer country girlfriend Taylor swift? We tried to reach both of their publicist, they both said no comment. And now to other couple news….."
"That's it? That's all they have to say about it?" Sharpay said.
"I told you guys there was nothing to worry about!" Kelsi said.
"Well, I guess." Taylor said.
"And to think I could have like gone and had my nails done!" Sharpay said, getting up and walking towards the kitchen.
"Have you talked to Gabriella, Kels?" Taylor asked.
"No, I haven't texted her. I've been kind of busy with the musical and getting Trey and Vicki ready."
"Oh, how is the musical going?"
"It's coming along. Call backs are next week. The real fun begins when the roles are all handed out." Kelsi said, getting up from the couch and walking into the kitchen where Sharpay was talking on the phone.
"So, you think we can get away with not going to Lava Springs?" Taylor said.
"I for one can't go. I already told Ryan. Remember call backs?" Kelsi said.
"Oh, yeah. Well, at least Sharpay will be there, if she goes in the first place." Taylor said.
"Ohh thank you soo much Linda. I can make it in like fifteen minutes! Bye!" Sharpay hung up her phone and looked at the two other girls and said "What?"
"What do you mean by what? Sharpay , we have to be at Lava Springs remember!" Taylor said.
"Oh, that's today? Well, I'm sure Ryan won't mind. I mean get real. What help would I be?" Sharpay said with her hands on her hips.
"She has a point Tay," Kelsi sighed and said, "Fine, I guess it's just me! Would one of you give me a ride there. I don't feel like driving."
"I will," Kelsi volunteered.
"Thanks! Let me just get my coat." Taylor said, rushing out of the room.
"Well I have to go. Tell everyone to stay at the club. It's been awhile since we all had dinner together. And by together, I mean with Ryan there too. Also tell them not to worry, it's on me." Sharpay said to Kelsi.
Taylor came back into the room and the two girls were off. On their way to the country club, Kelsi asked Taylor if Maria had called her. Taylor thought it was a good idea, but would ask everyone what they thought later on that day. As soon as Kelsi pulled up, Chad came out running towards them.
"Oh my god! Guys, what took you guys soo freaking long! Ryan is in there going crazy! A couple hours ago he was going crazy because he couldn't find a pen. A PEN!!!"
"Oh! Well I'm here now and I'll make sure he doesn't freak out," Taylor said, getting out of the car.
"See you guys later! And see you guys later for dinner." Kelsi said, driving away.
"Dinner? What is she talking about? And why isn't she staying here?" said a complaining Chad.
Taylor rolled her eyes and said "Oh, come on!".
She dragged her boyfriend into Ryan's office where Ryan was firing off directions to everyone. After getting their assignments, they all walked out of the office. It was a long day for everyone. The country club was short on staff, seeing as there was a bug going around, so Troy stayed behind and was giving the duty of being the Golf expert. Zeke helped out in the kitchen. Chad, who wanted to stay behind with his boys, wanted to be a waiter, but when Ryan pointed out that he already had tons of waiters, Chad had no choice but to jump in Ryan's car and head to the amusement park and do some work there. Taylor also stayed behind so she could keep everything in smooth order. Soon, it was time for dinner. Ryan and Chad came back. Sharpay had come with her hair blown out and her nails done. Kelsi came back from rehearsing with Trey and Vicki. Everyone was gathered around a reserved table eating their dinner. Ryan was filling everyone in on his plans for the big opening in two weeks. Troy cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. They all looked in his direction.
"Did Maria call any of you guys?" Troy asked his said yes and they were all thinking of what Troy thought of the said plans."Well, what do you guys think?"
"Well I say we go. It's just for the weekend, and if we do go, then it would be after the game Friday night." Chad said.
"That's what I thought last night," Troy said.
"Well, I guess we could go. I mean, Nick is being nice enough to pay for everything." Taylor agreed.
"So it's agreed. We are all going to LA next weekend?" Sharpay nodded their heads and were all talking about going to LA and planning on what to do once they get there. Soon, they all finished and said good bye to each other. Taylor, like always, told everyone she would call Maria tonight and tell her that everyone was on board. Everyone jumped in their cars except Chad and Taylor who went with Troy as neither of them brought their cars.
Back in LA
I want your loving
And I want your revenge
You and me put on a bad romance
I want your lovingAll your love is revenge
You and me put on a bad romance
Lady Gaga's new single Bad Romance could be heard throughout Gabriella's apartment. She, currently in her pajama's, putting some make up on getting ready to go out with Selena. While in their pajama's yesterday, the girls started thinking it would be fun if they moved in together since Selena is always over at Gabriella's. So, today the girls were going to look at some houses, then maybe get something to eat. They invited Joe to go with them and he was going to pick up the girls in about half hour. Selena went home to get some more clothes and was the first Joe was picking up. She finished applying the make up and went to change into her outfit. She wore washed out jeans and a plain purple top. She looked at the clock and found she had 5 minutes till Joe was picking her up. She grabbed her hoodie and purse. Her phone vibrated and it was Selena telling her they were in the front. She went into her bedroom and turned off her Ihome and was out the door and climbing into the back of Joe's sleek black Hummer.
"You guys ready to go house shopping?" Joe asked the girls.
"YES!" Selena shouted.
"God, someone is excited!" Gabriella said from the back seat.
"Well I am! I mean, you realize how much fun this moving in together is going to be? No more driving to my house for a change of clothes, no more going to my house to pick up something then going back to your house! Now all I have to do is go down the hall or something! Oh and I call the master room!"
"Um I don't think so! I think that I should get it because it was my idea in the first place!"
"Yeah, but I was the one who called the realtor!"
"That's not true! I heard you call JOE who called his realtor!"
"So does this mean I get the master bedroom?" Joe asked.
Selena smacked his arm and said "No!"
"Ow, god you know for someone so tiny you punch really hard!"
"Aww why thank you!" she then turned around to face Gabriella and narrowed her eyes and said "This isn't over Montez!"
Gabriella laughed and said "Yeah. That scary face isn't working on me!"
Selena pouted. "Oh COME ON!!! I want it! Please, please!!!!!"
She ignored her and asked Joe "So, have you been talking to Kels?"
Joe looked at her through his rear view mirror and said "Oh yeah. She said today she was staying home and working on that high school musical thing."
"That's cool. Hey Selena, how's it going with the talking to Ryan thing?"
"OMG! It's going great! He's all stressed about that amusement park. And I'm all aww wish I was there to relieve the stress…"
"OKAY!! Look, we are here!"
Joe pulled up to a two story house. It was in a gated community, which Gabriella liked. All of them got out of the car and met the person who sold Joe his house.
"Hi, I'm Tom. It's so nice to meet you. I'm guessing it's the girls who are looking to move in to a house."
"Yes Tom. Mom would kill me if I bought another house." Joe said, shaking Tom's hand.
"Aw yes, Denise would not like that. And you two girls are?" Tom asked.
"Gabriella."
"Selena."
"Well, nice to meet you. So let's take a look at this house. It has 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms. A pool out back. And an amazing view of LA." Tom said in his business voice.
The four of them walked into the house and Selena gasped. "Oh my god! It's so big!"
"Haha that's what she said!" Joe joked.
"Ew, gross!" Gabriella said.
When they walked into the house, they immediately saw a grand stair case leading up to the bedrooms. They walked into the kitchen, which was big. There was a breakfast bar and an island. Gabriella liked the kitchen. They went through the French doors, and there was a BBQ area. The pool had a water slide and a waterfall.
"Alright, let's go and see the bedrooms!" Selena exclaimed.
She took off running into the house. Gabriella sighed and Joe wrapped his arm around her shoulders and led her into the house up the stairs and into the first bedroom. It was fairly small, with a moderate size closet. All the other three bedrooms looked the same, with the exception of the different view from the window. They walked into the master bedroom and Gabriella gasped. The room was so big that her room back home could have fit, with a lot more room.
Selena came running into the room and said "You have to come and see the size of the closet!"
She pulled her through a door that was to the right. The closet was even bigger, but to Gabriella, the place felt like it was too Hollywood for her. The four all went downstairs and all of them agreed to go and see the other two houses Tom had picked out for them. By the time they were all finished looking at houses, Gabriella was tired. Tom had told them that he had other houses they could check out if they wanted to but Selena told him some other time. Joe treated the girls to dinner and dropped them off at Gabriella's place. The girls grabbed something to drink from the fridge. Selena went into the bedroom to take off her shoes. Gabriella walked to the answering machine to find that Kenny had called reminding the girls that they were scheduled to go into the recording studio to lay down the song "Send It On".
"You know, those houses that Tom showed us weren't that bad. All in gated communities, decent neighbors, and the all the rooms are a fair size. So what's the problem?" Selena asked.
Gabriella sat herself on the sat on the floor and sighed "I don't know. I guess I want a house that doesn't scream 'Oh look at me! I'm rich! If I really wanted I could buy your house too!' Call me old fashion! But…"
"Yeah, but in reality, we are rich. I guess if you want we can just get a condo with like three bedroom. I'll even be nice and let you have the master bedroom."
"No, I want a house. I mean, if we don't get a house then when are we going to throw our own little party?"
"If you say so. So was that Kenny telling us we have to record that song tomorrow?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I should be done early! I mean, I don't sing that much. Just the chorus and even then, you won't hear my voice 'cause of you, Miley, and the Jonas brothers!"
"Oh, what a shame!"
Selena sighed. She looked at her phone and noticed she had a new text message from an unknown number. She was about to tap the ignore button but she pressed 'Read' and noticed it was from Troy.
Troy: Hey! It's Troy I got your number from Ryan! Alright so here's the deal. Maria came up with this plan to surprise Ella and go there next week. So you guys aren't like busy?
Selena: Awww you have a pet name for her! That's soooo cute! Um…….not that I know of. But then again I don't really know anything about our schedule till Bubbles tells me. So I'm going out on a limb right now, and say no we aren't busy.
"Are you texting Ryan? Can't you go like a day without texting him?" Gabriella said. She had turned on the TV and was going through her TIVO to see if she still had shows to watch.
"For your information! I'm not talking to Ryan! I'm talking to…..um….Massie. She wanted to see if I wanted to go out tonight."
"Uh huh, that's what they all say." Selena threw a pillow at her and looked down to see if Troy had written back.
Troy: You're wired, you know that! How Ryan puts up with you I have no clue. Anyway well if you do get busy…..try to get out of it. And don't tell Gabriella! It's a surprise! But I have to leave so text me if anything comes up!
Selena sighed and combed her fingers through her hair. How the hell was she supposed to keep THIS a secret from her best friend. If only Troy had known that she could not keep a secret to save her life, which is why her friends never told her about surprises! The longest time she had kept a secret was the drive from her house to her grandparents. She had told them at the time that her parents were having another baby. But really, who told a little three year this kind of information! It would be a really hard week for Selena.
Alright guys! here you guys! review please! thank you! :)
