Do You Really Mean It?
Chapter 7- The Prize Shop
The gang had been in their bunks for quite some time now.
"Guys, im getting bored, lets go to the prize shop." Troy wined.
"Yah, lets go, before Arnold starts to throw a temper tandrum." Gabriella teased.
Troy pretended to pout and stomp his feet like a 5 year old.
The gang headed to the smaller building next to the main lodge.
"Woah!" Chad said, as he walked through the doors, and faced the inside of what looked like a small store.
"Welcome to the prize shop." The cashier greeted, "Since today is the first day, everything is on sale!"
"Sweet." Jason commented.
The gang looked around the small shop.
"All of the items that are worth more points have been cut half, and the smaller items a quarter." The cashier told them.
"Awesome." Taylor and Chad said.
They all looked around, some items each catching their eye.
"How many points?" Ryan asked, pointing to a small t.v, that could play tapes.
"Ummm, since it is the first day, I can give it to for 70 points, and you could choose a video that would go along with it." The cashier said.
"Hey guys, come here." Ryan called.
The 8 other friends all scooted their way over to Ryan.
"We could get this." Ryan pointed to the small t.v, "The person said that he could give it to us for 70 points, and it comes with a video."
"Well we have 74 points, and I think this would be really good to get, we can all use it." Gabriella stated.
"I agree." Troy replied.
"Me too," Taylor and Zeke added.
"Ok, everyone that doesn't want it speak up now." Sharpay said.
"No, I think this would be good." Kelsi responded.
"Yah, I mean we can all watch it, and we can even have movie nights." Jason added.
"We'll take this." Ryan called over to the person.
The cashier took one of the boxes under the display t.v and Gabriella handed him 70 wooden nickels.
"Wait, I want to look around some more." Gabriella said.
She walked around the small place, studying each of the items closely. The store held a variety of items.
The little 'shop' had three different sections, electronics, toys and food.
The electronic section had CDs, videos, DVDs, t.v's, CD players, plug and play games, watches and disposable cameras.
The toy section held sports equipment, pillows, blankets, board games, stuffed animals and various books.
And of course the food section held, gum, candy and any type of junkfood you could think of. They even had ice-cream.
This place was pretty cool, your effort would go into a prize that you choose.
"Ok, now that Gabby is done looking, may you please show us what videos we can choose from." Sharpay asked impatiently.
The cashier layed out 8 videos among a table.
The gang could choose out of The Lion King, Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Poccahantas, and Aladdin.
"I like the Little Mermaid and Aladdin." Gabriella said.
"Me too." Sharpay said."
"Too bad we can only choose one." Kelsi replied.
"Then I think that we should choose The Little Mermaid." Ryan stated.
"Ok." The group agreed.
The man that ran the 'store' put the video in the bag with the t.v and gave it to Gabriella., "Enjoy.'
Gabriella took the bag, thanked the person and followed her friends out the door.
"Oh no, you won't carry that heavy bag, little Miss Montez." Troy joked as he tried to help Gabriella with the bag.
"Oh, so you think that you are stronger than me, do you Bolton?" Gabriella joked back.
"I never said that."
"Oh yah you did Bolton."
"Nope, and stop calling me Bolton, Montez."
"Never Bolton."
Troy decided that since she wasn't going to stop calling him by his last name, he was going to have to chase her. So he darted after her.
Gabriella looked back and saw that Troy was chasing her, so she started to run.
"Ugg, the stupid bag is slowing me down." Gabriella wined to herself.
She saw the bunks a few yards away, but when she looked back, Troy was right behind her.
