Chapter 2

The morning after the party, Ashley was at Vanessa's place and asked: 'Can I use your laptop?' Vanessa was in the shower and replied: 'Of course!'

Ashley opened her mail and started screaming.

'Vanesssaaaa!!!!! I have an Email from Lucas!´

She opened it as soon as Vanessa was in the room and started reading:

Dear Ashley,

I had fun dancing with you last night. I hope you had a great time.

I decided to give a party, it´s next Saturday. You and Vanessa are invited.

Hope you can make it!

Lucas

Ashley glowed. ´Yay, a party!´ Vanessa yelled and she slapped Ashley. ´Stop blushing…it´s laaaammmee!´ Ashley got up and started chasing Vanessa. ´Oh I forgot to tell you,´ Vanessa suddenly said. ´I met this great guy last night, his name is Nathan Jones. He´s new too.´

´Ooooh and look who´s blushing now,´ Ashley teased.

They both started laughing and decided to go shopping. ´Well, we don´t have millions but we can buy a nice dress with our saving from work.´ Ashley said. Vanessa shrugged. She wanted to buy a nice Prada or Versace. She wished she could be rich for just one day, just one day without thinking how much money you can spend. That would be great.

They took the bus to the mall and decided to eat something first. They looked for a café.

´Ashley? Vanessa?´ they heard a voice say. It was Lucas. ´Good to see you, you got my email?´ he asked Ashley. Ashley nodded.

´Hello,´ they heard another voice say. This one was from Zac Efron. He kept looking at Vanessa and she was getting annoyed. What does he think he´s doing? Lucas offered his arms to Vanessa and Ashley and they took it. Leaving Zac standing there with Jennifer.

´You must be so bored.´ Jennifer whispered. ´No, I´m not,´ Zac said.

´Well then I bet I know what you´re thinking,´ she replied. ´I doubt it,´ he answered.

´You are thinking what a waste of time these people are and that we should have stayed in New York. Am I close?´ she smiled. ´No, you couldn´t be more wrong. I´m thinking how I could be so blind. I didn´t even saw the sparkles in her beautiful brown eyes last night.´ he smiled while looking at Vanessa, who was now laughing. ´not to mention her gorgeous laugh.´ Jennifer looked him as if he was joking but as soon as she saw his face she knew he wasn´t and started walking away.

This can´t be true. I have to stop thinking about her. She´s poor, probably a gold-digger just like her friend. Zac thought to himself.

They were now in a store and Vanessa looked at a green dress. ´Do you like it?´ she asked Zac. ´No, it looks cheap.´ he replied. Vanessa didn´t say anything she tried to be nice but she couldn´t, he was so arrogant.

After Lucas, Zac and Jennifer left Vanessa bumped into Nathan. ´He Nate!´ she greeted him. ´Nessa, how are you?´ ´Good,´ she replied. She introduced him to Ashley and Nate asked ´Did I just see Efron?´ Vanessa nodded. ´I hate him,´ Nate told her. ´When we were kids my dad worked for his dad. We were really good friends. When my dad past away, Mr. Efron took me in and treated me as if I was his own son. 2 years ago when he died, Zac refused to give me the money I was promised in the will. I didn´t want to fight over it, Mr. Efron wouldn´t have wanted that. So now he´s rich and I´m well… poor.´ He sighed.

´He´s an even bigger ass then I thought he was!´ Vanessa shouted. ´How could someone do that, ignoring his father´s wish! Who does he think he is?´

'it's ok, I'm happy,' Nathan smiled. Vanessa looked at him and smiled back. 'so I guess you are not invited to Lucas' party?' Nathan shook his head and said: 'No, But I have to go now, I'll see you soon ok?' He waved and took off.

'That was weird,' Ashley said. Vanessa just slapped her friend and started walking. 'Nes, wait!' Ashley yelled and ran towards Vanessa. 'I mean it, he saw Zac and he was getting all nervous and left. Maybe he was lying about Zac.' Vanessa glared at Ashley and snapped: 'Oh yeah!?! Why the hell would he lie about something like that.' Ashley noticed her friend was getting angry and just shrugged.

Lucas came back and asked if they would like to join them for some drinks. They accepted his offer and walked to the café he had just pointed his finger at. 'Wow,' Vanessa said. The café was beautiful. 'Ugh, he still here?' she asked Lucas when she saw the guy next to his sister was Zac. 'Of course, why you don't like him?' Lucas asked her. 'Well let's just say he's………proud' Lucas didn't reply and they walked to the table.

Vanessa sat down and glared at Zac. Ugh, I can't believe I'm sitting here…with him! She thought to herself. Zac's mind was occupied with more pleasant things. She is gorgeous, but I have to stop thinking about her, my mother would kill me if I ever went out with her. She's beneath us, is she? Ah just look at her…

Lucas stood up and said: 'Well now we really have to get going, we have to prepare the party!' he smiled at Ashley who smiled back. He took her hand and kissed the back of it, she giggled and started blushing. He said bye to Vanessa and left. Jessica told them she couldn't wait to see them at the party and Zac just nodded.

'oh Ness,' Ashley sighed 'I'm in love.'
