Gabriella's POV
"So, how has Lady Penelope been?" I asked. "Good, why do you ask?" Alan said. "She was like a sister to me, like one of my best friends," I said. It was silent after that for a while, "I need some air," Alan said walking out of the house. "What's wrong with him?" I asked. "He has some l-l-love issues at home," Fermat said. "Really, Alan Tracy has a girlfriend," I said. "No, but he really likes this girl, but he won't t-t-tell h-h-her," Fermat said. "Why?" I asked. "You know Alan, he's sh-sh-shy," he said. "Sorry, I needed that," Alan said walking back in. "So, Fermat was telling me about a love interest," I said. "What," Alan said shocked, "what did you tell her?" "That you l-l-like her a lot and your to shy to tell h-h-her," Fermat replied. "Why did you tell her that anyway?" Alan asked. "I j-j-just-" Fermat started. "Well j-j-just- sh-sh-shutup," Alan mocked Fermat. "Alan," I said looking at Fermat who looked very upset, just like when I lived with them. He was still a jerk, now I have more reasons to hate him. "Fermat, are you okay?" I asked. Fermat just ignored my question and walked out of the house. "How could you say that?" I asked him. "It was impulse, I wasn't thinking," he answered. "I guess everything is on impulse, I mean you say that to Fermat, you come to see me, is there something I forgot?" I asked. "I can't believe you, you yell at me like I did something to you, did I hurt you?" Alan asked. I could feel the tears stinging my eyes, "just go," I said. "What did I-" he started. "Just get out," I said tears streaming down my face. I watched him walk out the door, when he left I took out my cell phone and dialed a number. "Hello, Troy, I need you here now, please," I cried into the phone. "Gabriella, I'll be right there," he said and I heard a click. I cried into my pillow. Why did he have to come back, I didn't want him back, but I can't hate him, I just can't. He made me wait, then I left and he didn't ask me. I heard a knock at my door, I opened the door. "Gabriella, "Troy said pulling me into a hug, "are you okay?" "No," I said. "What's wrong?" he asked. "Just hold me, please," I said. "Okay," he said taking me to the couch.
In about an hour I calmed down and Troy didn't ask anything, we stayed on the couch, his arms wrapped around my petite body, I love this feeling he gives me. "Thank you Troy," I said, "You really helped me." "Do you wanna talk now?" Troy asked. "I can't Troy, it's a secret about a friend," I lied. "Okay, you can talk when you're ready," he said. "Look at the time, it's 10:30, I have to get home. If you need to talk call me on my cell, okay," he said. "Okay," I replied. He kissed me and left. I need to get out of this mess, Alan has to leave.
I went to bed at around 11, because crying makes me tired, and crying about the past, really makes me tired. I was having a dream, Alan, Fermat, and I were saving the world form the hood, and I gave Alan a low five and he didn't let go, and I didn;t let go. I had a smile on my face and I'm pretty sure he did too, we looked at each other and then we let go, I felt sparks throughout my body, I loved it. I mean I always had a crush on Alan since I was 10, and I liked him then too, but when I met Troy, I forgot all about him, until today.
Alan's POV
What, Fermat left me, and he took the car, it's all Tin Tins fault. If she just let me talk to her at the mall, I wouldn't be walking to a fucking motel. I don't get it, why does she hate me, I didn't do anything to hurt her. All I want to do is tell her I love her. I finally found a motel and got a room. "She can't be like this forever," I said to myself, "she has to talk to me sooner or later." I can't stand this new Tin Tin, I mean Gabriella, she was never so cold, and she was never interested in guys. I looked at the clock, 11:30, I should get some sleep. I went to bed and felt something land on my stomch, "Oooof," I yelped in pain. "You had the money, and got a 2 bed room, I'm staying," Fermat said getting into the bed next to me. I shut my eyes and my world turned black.
Gabriella's POV
I woke up to my cell phone ringing, "Hello," I said half asleep. "Gabriella, it's Troy, were you still sleeping?" Troy asked. "Yeah, why?" I asked back. "It's 12:30," he said, "and I know for a fact, when your upset you sleep in." "Troy, I'm fine, now what do you want?" I asked. "I wanted to see if you wanted to hang out whith the gang today, I'd be happy to pick you up," he said politely. "Yeah, sure," I said. "Great, I'll pick you up at 1:30," he said. "Great," I said. "Bye," he said and I heard a click. I hung up and grabbed my towel and took a shower. After I took my shower I found the perfect outfit that Troy would like, then I did my make up, and then I did my hair.
I heard a knock at my door and I ran past my Mom, "I got it!" "Hey Gabriella," Troy said giving me a kiss on the cheeck. "Hey Troy," I said. "You ready to go?" he asked. "One second," I said, "Mom, I'm going out with my friends." "Okay Gabi, be back by 11," she said. "Will do," I said walking back to Troy. "Lets go," he said opening the car door. We arrived at the mall, I know again, but who can't love the mall. We walked to the food court where I saw my friends Ryan and Sharpay. "Hey Gabriella," my best friend Sharpay said. "Hey Sharpay," I said back. "So, guys, how about the girls have some girl time," Sharpay said. "Sure," Ryan said. Sharpay took me to walk around. "Ohh, check out that blonde haired hottie over there," she said eyes never leaving the sight. I looked and saw him again, Alan Tracy. "Hey, you," Sharpay said walking to the guy. No, no Sharpay, but she took me and started talking to him. "Hi, I'm Sharpay, and this is my friend-," Sharpay started. "Gabriella," Alan said. "Do you know him?" Sharpay asked me. "Yeah, this is Alan Tracy, we went to, um, school together," I lied. "Really," she said. "Yeah, we were great friends," he said shaking her hand, "our families were real close, before she moved." "That's interesting," Sharpay said. "I have to talk to Alan alone for a second," I told Sharpay taking Alan inside a store.
"What are you oing here?" I asked. "Well I decided to come back to the same place I saw you at yesterday," he said. "Alan, I don't want you in my life anymore," I said coldly. I saw hurt in his face and it was silent for a while. "Well, I still want you in my life Tin Tin," he said. "I told you not to call me that," I said. "And I said I would call you that because I said that's what I'm used to calling you," he said boldly. "Alan it's been 2 years since I've seen you, you can't expect to come back and instantly be friends again," I said. "I actually do expect that," he said. "Alan, why do you want to be my friend again?" I asked. "I just want you to be," he answered. I smiled, it's sweet that he still wants to be friends, and that he remembered me after 2 years. "Alan, do you wanna go get something to eat with my friends and I?" I asked. "Sure," he said. "Is Fermat still mad?" I asked. "Yeah," he answered. "Hey Sharpay," I said, "are we going out to lunch?" I asked. "Yeah, I think so," she said, "I'll text Ryan." In about a minute she got a text back. "We're going to meet by the Sam Goody," she said, "lets go." I took Alan by the wrist and followed Sharpay. As soon as I saw Troy, I let go of his wrist. "Where shall we eat?" Ryan asked. "Rirst off, who's this?" Troy asked looking at Alan. "An old friend of mine, from my old school," I said. "Hi, I'm Alan Tracy," he said. "Troy Bolton," he said, "and that's her brother Ryan Evans." "Hi," Ryan said. I walked over to Troy and wrapped my hands in his.
Alan's POV
I saw Tin Tin hold hands with Troy, I can tell he's already not good enough for her. I saw Sharpay stare at me, "What?" I whispered. "I need to talk to you," she whispered back taking my arm and walking into Sam Goody. "You like Gabriella," she said. "I don't like Gabriella, I love the girl she was before she moved here," I said. "And what was she like?" she asked. "Her name was Tin Tin, she was tough, outgoing, and we were close, like friends," I said hoping she didn't get the wrong idea. "Her name was Tin Tin?" she asked. "Yeah, and I love her," I said. "And you want her?" she asked. "Well, yeah," I said. "Then we are going to make a plan, even though she has Troy, I'm sure that Troy will change to an Alan," she said. "I don't want to ruin her relationship," I said looking out the store. "Well, what do you want, do you want her, or do you not want her?" she asked. "I want her," I said, "but we have to make this quick, I have to leave Sunday." "It's Tuesday today, so you have 6 days, obviously counting today," she said. "How do I get her to like me?" I asked. "Well, just go what you did before she moved away," she said. I remember fighting The Hood with her and Fermat, and then I remember holding her hand when we were in that ship, I felt electricity surge through my body, I loved that feeling, then we looked at each other and quickly let go. "So, you have a plan?" I asked. "You, can't know the plan, just follow what I say," she said smiling devilishly. "Lets go, they're waiting," she said walking out of the store.
