CHAPTER SIX
- - - -
It was early in the morning and Gabriella was awake and perky. She was dancing and singing while getting ready. She was obviously excited for the day ahead of her since she was going to see Bee.
I got my sight set on you
And I'm ready to wait
I have a heart that will
Will never be tamed
I knew you were somethin' special
When you spoke my name
Now I can't wait
To see you again
I've got a way of knowin'
When somethin' is right
I feel like I must have known you
In another life
'Cause I felt this deep connection
When you looked in my eyes(can't wait)
Now I can't wait
To see you again
She was about to look in the mirror when her phone rang. She didn't look at caller id and just answered her phone,
Gabriella / Brandon
"Hello?"
"Good morning Gee. I'm sorry if this is early but I wanted to know if you wanted a ride to school with me."
"Sure! I can't wait! Here's my address..."
"Mm, okay. I'll see you soon. Bye Gee!"
"Bye Bee!"
The last time I freaked out,
I just kept lookin' down!
I st-st-stuttered when you asked me,
What I'm thinkin' 'bout.
Felt like I couldn't breathe
You asked what's wrong with me?
My best friend Leslie said
"Oh, She's just bein' Miley."
The next time we hang out,
I will redeem myself,
My heart, it can't rest till then,
Whoa, whoa,
I, I can't wait,
To see you again
Gabriella finished and ran downstairs to her mom. They ate breakfast together and as soon as Gabriella finished, the door bell rang.
I got this crazy feelin'
Deep inside
When you called and asked to see me
Tomorrow night
I'm not a mind reader
But I'm readin' the signs (bet you can't wait)
Bet you can't wait
To see me again
"Well mom, that must be Brandon! I'll see you later!" She said then kissed her mom.
"Okay honey. Have a good time at school."
"Hey Be-- Troy? What are you doing here?" Gabriella asked shocked.
"Um... did you forget? We always go to school together every tuesday."
"Right.. um, Troy?" She asked looking at her feet as he said, "yeah?"
"Well, I kinda told Bee that he could take me." She looked up at Troy. He looked hurt and disappointed. "Is that okay? I can tell him I can't."
"Who's Bee? But no, no." He shook his head, "Don't I'll just see you later, bye."
A few minutes later Bee came to the door.
"Good morning beautiful." Bee smiled at Gabriella.
"Good morning to you too handsome." She smiled back, "Let's go! I can show you around when we get there."
He nodded and lead her to the car. The car ride was far from silent. They were talking and laughing like they've known each other forever. Gabriella heard a song and turned it up, "Oh my gosh! Bee I was listening to this earlier when you called!" She sang it while he mumbled the words with her.
And next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart can't rest 'til then
Whoa, whoa,I
I can't wait
To see you again
I got my sight set on you
And I'm ready to wait
The last time I freaked out
I just kept lookin' down
I st-st-stuttered when
You asked me what I'm thinkin' 'bout
Gabriella stopped singing and giggled. "What are you laughing at?" Brandon asked.
"Nothing, just that you know the words to this song." She said trying to hold her giggles.
"Oh," He blushed. "My little sister listens to this stuff and she makes me sing with her."
She smiled, "Aw, you have a sister? That's so sweet of you to sing with her."
"Yeah, I guess. Um, Gee is this it?" He asked as they pulled up to the school.
"Yes, this is it. Okay, I'll show you around since we have homeroom together." Gabriella said as she grabbed his hand an led him towards the gang.

Brandon walked slowly and Gabriella dragged him, "Don't be shy. They are really nice."
They reached the gang and Chad and Taylor were arguing, Sharpay was fixing her hair, and the rest were just talking.
"Hey guys! This is Brandon." Gabriella said as he waved shyly.
Gabriella introduced the guys. "So man, I saw you with the girls yesterday. Are you a player?" Chad asked. Taylor smacked him, "Excuse him. He's like that."
Brandon laughed, "It's okay. He reminds me of my friend back home. Actually all of you do."
Sharpay smiled, "Ooh! Tell us about them and who we remind you of."
"Well, you," He said looking at Sharpay. "You remind me of Rachel. She was always into looking her best and getting what was best. People thought she was mean because of that, but really she was nice."
"Well, what can I say? I really am the best aren't I?" Sharpay said as Chad said, "Maybe you're wrong, she's not all that nice." She glared at him. "Just kidding!"
"And you, you're kinda like Jordan." He said pointing to Zeke. "He was Rachel's closest guy friend. He was the only one that really understood her. And it showed how close they were, I don't know if you guys are like that but I just had a feeling." Zeke smiled at Sharpay, "Well. She is my girlfriend."
"And Taylor you remind me of Kahlen." She asked, "Why?"
"You seem to be the only one who can tame Chad, and she was too. She was the one who calmed Shawn down. Oh, and Shawn was like Chad." Chad put an arm around Taylor.
"What about us?" Jason asked.
Gabriella interupted and hugged Brandon tightly, "I'm really glad you guys are getting along well!" Gabriella said happily. "Yeah I think it's because of that, I feel at home here. Thanks guys." He thanked them sincerely. The girls awed and the guys the shrugged. Except for Troy.
"I gotta go." Troy said and walked away quickly.
"Wait, that's not right. We all have the same homeroom. I wonder what's the rush.." Sharpay reasoned. Gabriella yelled while chasing Troy, "I'll meet you guys there!"
- - - -
Taylor said what everyone was thinking, "I wonder why he left."
"He's not over Gabriella!" Chad exclaimed as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. The girls' mouthes hung open in shock as Brandon's smile fell.
"But the date? The crying? The Brandon?!" Sharpay said pointing to a sad Brandon. The girls patted his back.
"Don't worry Brandon." Kelsi said, "Wow, we haven't even started school and all this happened."
"Ladies, why aren't you concerned for Troy?" Zeke questioned. "He's the one who stood her up." Taylor defended.
"But he forgot, he was training with his dad, and then he was with us." Jason said.
"Oh great reason!" Sharpay exclaimed.
"You guys, I think we should just leave it to them." Brandon suggested. "This happened back home and everyone ruined what could have happened when they interfered..." His voice was shaking with every word.
They looked at him with sorrow. Chad apologized while the other nodded, "I'm sorry man. We just got.. I don't know."
Zeke asked "I don't want to seem rude, but what happened?"
"Well..."
- - - -
Gabriella was panting, "Troy... why... go fast.. we... class." Troy looked confused, "You okay? Breathe first."
"Okay... Why did you leave?" Gabriella quickly asked. Then Troy shrugged, "I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?!" Gabriella asked shocked. "Did we do something?" She got quiet, "Did I?"
"Huh? No. I guess I don't like Brandon." Troy said honestly as he shrugged. "W-why not?" Gabriella had a sad expression on but Troy couldn't see.
"I guess it's because I li-nevermind."
"You what Troy?"
"I..."
