CHAPTER TWO

"I don't know guys. I mean what if this doesn't work out like we plan it to?"

"Then Gabi, that means it's not over. Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, then its not the end," Sharpay plainly stated.

"Wow. That was pretty deep Shar," Taylor said as the others nodded.

"Well, duh. With all these good looks, personality and brains comes with it!" They all rolled their eyes and laughed.

Since it was a friday, they decided to host a sleep over at Gabriella's to come up with the plan. As they walked through the front door, to the living room Gabriella's mom greeted them.

"Hello ladies. Nice of you guys to come over again! What's the occasion this time?" Ms. Montez asked knowing they have something planned.

"Oh Mommy! Do you always think we are planning something? What if we-" Sharpay barged in, "You know how Troy and Gabriella love each other, well we are helping her get them together!" Taylor added, "Yeah. Lunkhead over there is too slow and needs some help." Her mom shook her head and laughed, "Okay girls whatever you say. I need to do some shopping. I trust you."

"Bye, I love you Mommy." Gabriella said innocently.

It was quiet for a few seconds as Gabriella got some snacks.

"I got it! Why don't you just "casually" ask him on a date? Something simple like picnic and miniature golf?" Sharpay asked.

"Perfect! I heard he loves that, but what if he just thinks its just a friendship thing like usual?" Kelsi thought out loud.

"Maybe she should wear something that should change his mind..." Taylor looked like she had something planning in her mind.

The three girls planned together, but were stopped by Gabriella. "Um, hello? Guys! I think I needa hear your plan. You know, just because I think its a little important that I know," Gabriella sarcastically said.

They filled her in and were soon raiding her closet. She had nothing that would scream the right impression.

Then they found it. They decided to go with a fun and cute theme.

The top was a light green color with and open back, just before the bra strap. Khaki short-shorts with yellow polka-dot peep toes. She accessorized it up with a yellow head band, yellow bangle, and a cute striped hobo bag. Her outfit was definitely matching and ready for a date. The girls squealed with excitement. (A/N: Links for pictures in profile.)

Now the only thing left to do was to ask him. They decided since it wasn't late yet, she would go over to his house and ask him. She was dressed in something normal so it would shock him for the date later. Of course only if he said yes.

Gabriella and the girls walked to Troy's only to find that he and the boys were playing basketball. Gabriella stopped, causing the girls to scream as they all fell.

"Gabi, come on! Don't get cold feet now. I wanna see my boyfriend," Sharpay said. Taylor added, "Yeah us too. And that should be easier since we will be distracting the guys."

They got up and the girls ran to their boy friends, leaving Gabriella scared. She waved at Troy and he walked towards her. "Hey Gabs! What brings you guys here?"

"Well, they wanted to see their boyfriends and since I don't have one," She closed her eyes, "I came to ask you a question..."

"Oh. And what would that question be?" He asked not knowing what she was thinking.

Her eyes now open looking at the ground, "Troy, would you like to go on a date with me tomorrow?" She could feel herself blushing because she had just asked him out.

"You mean, your asking me out?" Troy was still unsure.

"Yes. I am, tomorrow you and me." She sighed. She was getting tired of this.

"It would be my pleasure," Troy said grinning which made Gabriella smile too.

"Then it's settled! I'll pick you up tomorrow at eleven! Wear something comfortable, nothing fancy!" She said excitedly.

"Will do. And by any chance, will you tell me where you are taking me?" She giggled, "Nope!"

And she skipped away dragging her friends with her. She waved to him and blew a kiss. He caught it and put it in his pocket.

She was feeling extra perky, and the girls noticed.

"Hey Gabi you can stop humming now and tell us what happened. We all know he said yes." Sharpay said.

"Hm? What do you mean 'we'?"

"The gang. We kinda told them what you were doing." Taylor answered. "Yeah, and they were so happy. It was weird, but I guess it just proves he does love you," Kelsi continued.

"Well, if you insist. I told him you were all there to see your boyfriends. Then I asked and blew him a kiss. No big deal," Gabi shrugged.

"No big deal? You just asked a guy out and blew him a kiss. You are such a flirt Montez!" Sharpay said.

"Am not! You told me to ask him out," she said defensively.

"Chill Gabs, she was kidding." Taylor said.

Gabriella heard what she called her and said, "Only Troy can call me Gabs." She blushed when she realized what she said. "I mean..."

They smirked. Then Gabi's stomach growled. She became more red, as they all laughed. "Don't know about you guys but I'm hungry, too. Let's go eat out before we get settled here," Kelsi suggested. They agreed and went to the usual hang out.

They walked in when they saw the guys reading menus. The girls decided they would eat with them.

"Hey boys!" Sharpay sang. "Hey Sharpay! You can sit by me," suggested Zeke. Taylor was by Chad and Kelsi by Jason.

When they were all in their seats Troy fell off. They all laughed and then Chad said,"Hey man. I think you and Gabriella should just get another booth."

Gabi and Troy found a booth and looked at the menu. There was an awkward silence until Troy broke it. "So why did you ask me out? I thought it was a guy's job."

"Yeah, me too. I just thought we could go on a date you know. I mean we know each other well, but we can get to know each other more."

"Right. So we can be closer friends," Troy assumed.

"No, so we can get to know each other better," Gabriella tried to clear, "Unless you don't want to."

"No no I want to. I just wanted to get that straight." He smiled genuinely. She returned it.

When they were done eating they all walked back home. Both anticipating tomorrow.
