Summer romance

Chapter 2-Boys Talk

The morning sun was came shining through Gabriella's bedroom window hitting her face and waking her from her slumber with a yawn. She looked at the clock at it read 8:50am on a Saturday morning. Gabriella's eyes fluttered open and memories from what happened with troy came to her mind. The way he kissed her neck and the way his lips felt against her skin she loved it the way he made her feel. No she though shaking her head troy Bolton is the biggest player at east high and he would never change, not for her not for anyone all he wanted was to have her a brag about it at easy high she wouldn't let him that's not the kind of girl she is or the kind of girl she would ever be. She dragged herself out of bed and headed to take a shower.

About 15minutes later Gabriella came out of the shower with her towel round, she walked over to her closet and searched for something to where. She finally decided on a plain white tank top with beige shorts and white dolly shoes; she left her hair down in its natural curls and applied light make-up. She looked at the clock and it read 10:37am the mall was about a 10/15 minute drive from Gabriella's depending on traffic so she grabbed her phone, car keys, door keys and money and shoved them in her beige clutch bag. She walked down the stairs and into the kitchen to find her mother wasn't there; she then spotted a note on the counter it read

Gabriella,

I got called in to work this morning

I didn't want to wake you I properly

Won't be home tonight I'll call if anything

Changes, you know where Lucille is if you

Need her she knows i got called out

Love you,

Mum

Xx

"Whatever" Gabriella mumbled to herself she screwed the note up in her hand threw it back on the counter walked out the door got in her car and started to drive to the mall. This was typically her mum always out working never in doors, don't get it wrong Gabriella loved her mum and appreciated everything she gave her but she was hardly ever home. And then there was Dave ahh yes Dave Marias current boyfriend they had been going out for about 6 months now and he and Maria were very much in love. Dave was a good guy but there were jsut things about him that Gabriella didn't like he tried to replace her dad to much he also tried to be her friend and she didn't like it. Jack knew how she felt he has found her sitting in the park by herself and she had told him about he listened and was there for her like a father she saw jack as more as a father than she would ever see Dave.

Before Gabriella new it she was outside the mall she looked around trying to find a parking space she found to find herself parking right next to a bright pink convertible with the initials se written on the front in white writing. Standing near the front of her car was her two best friends sharpay Evans Gabriella has known sharpay since she was about 2 the clicked as soon as they met and have been best friends since, sharpay was a very outgoing a lively person with a very outrageous dress sense, she was wearing a baby pink tank top with a short white skirt and white flip-slops with quite a big baby pink handbag resting on the crock of her arm. Then there was Taylor mckessie she was a median height African-American girl with shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes Gabriella and sharpay had met Taylor in pre-school she was the new girl and they took her under their wing all they clicked and soon became inseparable. She was wearing a white t-shirt with a star on the bottom left corner with denim shorts that stopped about mid-thigh with white dolly shoes similar to Gabriella's with a black clutch bag also.

Gabriella got out of her car and walked over to her best friends "hey girls" she said with a bright smile and a small wave.

"Hey" they both greeted back while coming over and giving her a hug

"Right now we don't have much time we need to find me the perfect dress to wear on my dinner date with zeke tonight" sharpay told them with a big smile.

Gabriella giggled and both girls looked he with confused faces she stopped and looked at them "what the guy has her glowing already and he hasn't even taken her out on the date yet imagine what she's going to be like after the date"

The three girls started laughing "well can you blame me have you seen him he is just so dreamy" sharpay said while holding her hands together with a dreamy look on her face. This caused Taylor and Gabriella to laugh even harder, sharpay snapped out of her little dream and grabbed their arms "oh hush and let's do some shopping" sharpay said while dragging the onto the mall.

After a couple of hours shopping the girls were sitting in McDonalds eating and talking

"So Gabi" sharpay asked "how was dinner at the Bolton's last night?" sharpay questioned

Gabriella rolled her eyes at her best friend she new sharpay & Taylor both new perfectly that troy would have tried something with Gabriella he always did whenever he saw her at school ect

"Do you really have to ask"Gabriella whined at her best friend

"Come on Gabi we both know something happened the guy has a thing for you and we want to know details" Taylor chimed in with sharpay

"Urgh fine" Gabriella said giving in "well we got there sharpay called me and I went into the hallway i came off the phone and turned round to see troy standing there he was saying you know the usual stuff and pushed me against the wall and tried to kiss me then we went for dinner and he had his hand on my thigh tried to get it off didn't work so I left it then we went in to the garden he started kissing my neck then I went home nothing big" Gabriella sighed looking at her friends waiting for the reactions

"Omg" both Taylor and sharpay squealed together and Gabriella just rolled her eyes

"Oh come on Gabi you have to admit he's hot and you two would look so cute together why not just let it be" sharpay complained at her

"I wonder what zeke would say if he heard you talking about troy like that" Gabriella said trying to get off the conversation of her and troy.

"Oh shut up you know I don't mean it like that and no changing the subject why won't you just be with troy?" sharpay asked again

"Because shar troy is east highs biggest player he doesn't even know the meaning of the word relationship, and I am sure as hell no going to be another notch on his bedpost" Gabriella told them "it would be better if he just stayed away from me."

"Yeah umm that might be a little harder than you though" Taylor told her

"What are you talking about Tay?" Gabriella asked

"Well Troy zeke and Chad are heading over here right now" Taylor said

"Great" Gabriella mumbled sarcastically while she slouched in the booth they were in and crossed her arms over her chest.

"What's up ladies brie" troy said while winking at her Gabriella just rolled her eyes and looked away from him.

"Hey babe" Chad said asked he sat down next to Taylor and gave her a light peck on the lips

Sharpay cleared her throat and Chad looked up "Oh hey shar gabster" Chad said giving them a nod "Hey Chad" they both replied to him.

"Hey girls" zeke said as he took a seat next to sharpay and put his arm around her and troy took a seat next to Gabriella.

"So what are you girls doing here?" Chad asked while taking some of Taylor chips

"Shopping Duh" sharpay said in an it's so obvious tone

"Yeah for a perfect outfit for shars date with zeke over here aint that right shar?" troy teased her

Sharpay gasped "Omg Gabi you told him?" sharpay asked a little embarrassed that zeke now knew she was bragging about the date.

"No of course I didn't it's not my fault he was listing in on my phone call" Gabriella said raising her hands up defending herself.

"Dude" Chad said "what are you like a stalker?" everyone started laughing

"Whatever dude she knows she wants me and it only a matter of time" troy said as he put his arm around Gabriella's shoulders

Gabriella scrunched her face up "I've already told you Bolton on in your dreams" she said removing his arm from her shoulders

"And I've told you in my dreams were doing allot more naughtier things" Troy replied with a smirk forming on his face

"Ewwww ok troy none of us want to know about your sex fantasies with Gabi" sharpay told him making a disgusted face

"Well as much as we would love to stay and chat I want to go and get some bikinis for me holiday" Gabriella said while standing up and climbing over troy.

"Oh am I looking forward to seeing that while we're on holiday" troy smirked

"Whatever Bolton you can look but you'll never be able to have" Gabriella shot back with her own smirk causing the other to laugh.

"We'll have to see about that now wont we brie" troy replied Gabriella just rolled her eyes as the two other girls got up.

"See you later babe" Taylor said as she gave Chad a peck on the lips

"Yeah bye baby" Chad said returning her kiss

They girls said there good bye's and were leaving the table but before they did Troy slapped Gabriella's ass

"Nice ass you have their brie" Troy told her she just ignored him and carried on walking out with the girls.

As troy turned back to the boys after watching Gabriella leave to see Chad shaking his head at him

"What?" Troy asked Chad with a puzzled look on his face

"Dude you're never going to learn are you?" Chad asked as a smile came to his face

"Learn what dude?" Troy asked not understanding what Chad was getting at

"Right let me lay it out for you" Chad told him "I've know Gabster a really long time and she's like a little sister to me I know for a fact she thinks your good looking but she aint gunna go for you" chad told him hoping her would get it

"And why not??" Troy asked he knew Gabriella was a challenge but everyone wanted him after all he was troy Bolton the most wanted guy at easy high

Chad sighed "look man Gabriella doesn't want you cause you can't give her what she wants she wants a relationship not just to be another notch on your bedpost you see where I'm coming from?" Chad asked his best friend

Is that really what she wants to be in a relationship with me? Am I ready to commit to just one girl? Troy thought to himself "Yeah whatever dude no one can resist the Troy Bolton charm for long" Troy replied to his friend

Chad sighed "Whatever dude but sooner or later you'll have to have a relationship and stop being this player i mean look at me I'm with Taylor and I'm happy just sticking to one girl" Chad said hoping that his friend would understand "I mean Gabriella's not going to be single forever you know and how would you feel seeing her with someone else knowing then you defiantly couldn't have her" Chad questioned him

"Chad's got a point you know dude" zeke chimed in "Gabriella is one of the most wanted girls at school I can guarantee you she won't be single for long when we go back to school after the summer" zeke told him

How would I feel is Gabriella starting seeing someone troy thought whatever I can have any girl I want no one's going to change me Troy said in his mind

"Whatever can we just give it a rest now guys" Troy said not letting the frustration in his voice show.

The girls were now in Victoria Secret (A/N-Don't own) looking at the bikinis "hey guys what do you think of this one??" Gabriella asked while holding up a plain pink bikini set with ties at each side of the bottoms (A/N-PIK SHOULD BE IN PROFILE)

"That ones gorgeous gabs I think you should defiantly get it it would look so good on you" Taylor told her

"Yeah I'm sure troy wouldn't be able to resist you in that bikini" sharpay commented while grabbing a few other bikinis for Gabriella

Gabriella sighed "Shar how many times I don't care what Troy thinks this is for me not for him" Gabriella insisted

"But gabiii" Sharpay whined "you two would look so good together" sharpay tried to convince her

Gabriella sighed and started rubbing her hand over her forehead.

"Leave it know sharpay she has already told us why she doesn't want to be with Troy let leave at that" Taylor defended her friend knowing she was getting annoyed

Gabriella gave Taylor thankful look "well let's go pay for what we've got and then head home we've been here for ...Gabriella looked at her watch 6 hours" Gabriella told them as they reached the counter

They girls payed for their items and headed out to the parking lot they were laughing as normal when they heard voices come from behind them

"Well well well if it isn't east highs main ladies themselves" Greg Henderson smirked walking over to them with Jeffery Donnelly and Mike Raleigh following him. Greg Henderson west highs basketball captain he hated east high more than anyone actually he hated troy more than anyone ever since troy slept with his girlfriend the hatred had become personal. Jeffery Donnelly and Mike Raleigh were his other team mates none of the wildcats had ever done anything to them they only hated them cause Greg hated them.

"What do you want Henderson" Sharpay sneered at him

"Now now poodle calm down I'm not here to see you I'm here to see this extremely hot chick standing next to you" Greg told her while running his eyes over Gabriella.

Gabriella rolled her eyes and started walking away she didn't get very far before Greg grabbed her arm and spun her round to face him "now where do you think your off to Montez?" Greg asked her not letting go of his tight grip on her wrist.

Gabriella narrowed her eyes at him and tried to loosen her arm from his grip but it was useless and was hurting her more "Greg let go of me" Gabriella told him trying to pries him off her arm but he didn't budge.

"Let go of her" Taylor screeched coming up to him and Gabriella Greg turned him head to her and snapped his fingers and one of his friend came up behind her and grabbed her to stop her from moving he glared at his other friend and he done the same to Sharpay.

"You see I don't want to let go I like being this close to you Gabriella" he told her as he pulled her closer and stuck his face in her hair smelling her sent

"I think she told you to let go of her" a voice came from Gabriella she snapped her head back to find herself staring into piercing blue eyes.

"What are you going to do if I don't Bolton" Greg hissed at him pulling Gabriella to his side

"Do you want to find out Henderson" troy said in a low and dangerous voice squaring up to him

Greg let go on Gabriella wrist and squared up to Troy, Troy being the taller one of the two was looking down on him with hate in his eyes.

"Whoa lets no get into any fights here" Gabriella said standing in between the two "Troy just drop it" Gabriella told him while placing her hands on his chest to try and move him.

"This aint over Bolton not by and long shot" Greg smirked turning away giving Gabriella's ass a slap before he did so

Gabriella felt Troy go forward but she stopped him "Troy just leave it" Gabriella asked him

Troy sighed he took Gabriella's wrist gently off his chest and looked it "Are you ok?" troy asked with concern in his voice looking at the red mark of her arm

"Yeah I'm fine" Gabriella told him "she looked up into his eyes "Thanks Troy" she said smiling at him

"You're welcome brie" Troy told her with a smile not a smirk a real smile but he dropped it as soon as he saw Chad and the rest coming over.

"Hey Gabs are you ok?" Chad asked coming over to them

"Yeah Chad I'm fine thanks to Troy" she told him "Are you to ok Gabriella asked referring to Taylor and sharpay

"Yeah were ok" Sharpay answered for the both of them "but i think we should head ut of here we have been here for ages" sharpay said

Taylor giggled and everyone looked at her "what I never though I would here sharpay say we should leave the mall before closing time" everyone started laughing a little

"Yeah well see you later guys" Gabriella Taylor went and peck Chad on the lips and everyone else said goodbye and the girls walked off to their cars.
