December Makes me feel this Way
Chapter nine
Chapter nine Gabriella's POV
I woke up with someone's foot in my face. I took the person's foot and pushed it away. I looked around and saw everyone asleep. I looked at the person who had their foot in my face. It was Chad's. Ew…I got up and walked into the kitchen cranky. I put on the coffee pot and got out a cup and waited for the coffee to be done.
I looked at the clock…five O'clock. I turned back to the coffee. Wait…Crap it's the ninth! I ran into the living room forgetting about my coffee. How in the world did we sleep in that late! We didn't even stay up late.
"Guys, wake up. Our parents are going to be here any-." I as saying, but the doorbell rang. "Minute…" I said finishing my sentence. I walked to the door noticing my hair was a mess. Oh well. I opened the door and saw the parents.
"Gabriella, nice to see you again." Mrs. McKessie said to me.
"Nice to see you too. Uh just leave everything by the door and we can head into the living room. I let them handle their stuff while I walked into the living room. Even though we cleaned yesterday it was still a mess. The gang was all over the floor and before I could even wake them the parents came in.
"Oh my…were you kids pulling an all nighter?" Kelsi's mom asked.
"No, we were watching a movie and we fell asleep." I said to them smiling.
"Sharpay said shut up to Gabriella." Sharpay mumbled in her sleep.
"One second." I said going into the kitchen and getting a glass of water. I walked back and pored a bit on all their faces.
"Ok, some one woke me and it was with water! Some one is going to pay." Sharpay said sitting up and looking around.
"Oh, hey mom and dad and everyone." She said smiling at them.
"What happened?" Chad asked picking up his head and he looked around.
"AHHH, when did you get here?" he asked them.
"A while ago." Chd's dad said. Everyone was awake except Troy. I went over to him and started to shake him.
"Troy, wake up." I said to him.
"One second, babe." He said turning over. I was blushing and I knew it.
"Troy, your parents are here." I said. He immediately shot up and went to his parents. He gave them each a hug. Soon everyone was talking to his or her parents. I just walked into the kitchen and poured my coffee out in the sink. I went upstairs and showered. While the warm water was running over my body I couldn't help, but think about my dad and mom. I wanted to know what we would've done if they hadn't died. Especially my father.
I stepped out of the shower with my hair wrapped in towel. I could hear everyone laughing as I wrapped a towel around my wet body. I sighed and went into my closet. Deciding not to wear jeans I got blue sweat pants and green shirt. I gathered up my laundry and put it in the corner of my room, deciding I would do it later on. Someone knocked on my door and I turned to it. Troy came in smiling. He had changed into a polo turtle neck gray shirt and jeans. I smiled. The one day I don't dress up he does.
"SO, we were suppose to go somewhere. A surprise?" he asked wrapping his arms around my waist.
"We were earlier on, but right now your parents are here. Go enjoy the day with them. Plus I could really get some laundry done." I said to him.
"No, I have all the time in the world to spend with them. You are my…wait what are we exactly? I mean are we girlfriend and a boyfriend. I need to know because I want to tell my parents tonight." He said to me.
"Well I would like to think of us as boyfriend and girlfriend." I said to him.
"Well girlfriend go get ready. We are going to that thing you had planned today." He said giving me a kiss on the cheek and walking put of my room. I rolled my eyes. I didn't want to change. I went ahead and changed into some black pants and a nice green 'V' shirt. I walked down stairs with some high heeled boots on. Part of the surprise was to be nicely dressed.
I walked into the kitchen where everyone was laughing.
"Mom and dad I want you to meet Gabriella Montez. Remember when I was six we lived next to each other and we had moved away?" Troy said to his parents
"Oh, yes, how's your mother. Gina?" Mrs. Bolton asked me. My mother…how was she…I didn't know.
"Umm, she passed away recently." I said to her.
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know."
"It's ok."
"Well, mom, dad, and guys Gabriella and I are going for a walk in this…winter air." He said smiling. He started walking away and grabbed my hand and I waved good-bye to everyone.
"Are they dating?" I heard my father ask the gang.
"Sharpay and everyone else, say anything and in you will find yourselves out in the snow!" I yelled. We grabbed our jackets and went outside. We walked hand in hand.
"Where are we going?" he asked me.
"I…I don't know. I'm just walking till I find the perfect spot." I told him truthfully. He raised an eyebrow at me.
"Oh, be quiet." I said him. We walked for a couple more minutes.
"Here." I said to him.
"Ok, so what is the surprise?" he asked.
"Ok, put you left hand on my waist and give me your right hand." I said he did as he was told.
"Were going to dance?" he asked as we started to move.
"Hey, I thought it would be fun with the snow falling." I said smiling to him.
"Your so weird." He said smiling.
"Yes I am." I said laying my head on his chest. He wrapped his left arm around me.
"Well, this is pretty nice." I said to him.
"Yeah, it is."
"Troy can we not tell your parents about us?" I asked him.
"What do you mean not tell them?" he asked me.
"I'm just not ready. I mean the gang knows isn't that enough? We can tell your parents on Christmas or something." I said to him. I was getting scared.
"Gabriella, but I want to tell them tonight. My parents love you if that's what your worried about. I mean all you did was grow over the years, but you still have that six year old heart in you." He said to me.
"Yeah, but you didn't see your fathers face when you took my hand." I said pulling away.
"Gabriella, he hates everyone I date."
"But still, Troy. I don't want to tell them yet. I mean I know your father is going to get mad when he learns we have to share a room." I said looking into his eyes.
"He won't get mad. I mean he'll be a little angry, but he won't be mad, mad."
"Either way Troy please, just can we keep it form your parents and everyone else's?" I asked him. I was starting to get pissed.
"No, Gabriella I just don't understand why I can't tell my parents that we are dating! We told the gang without any problems."
"That's because they set it up! They set us up Troy." I yelled at him.
"That doesn't give me any reason not to tell my parents!" he yelled back.
"You know what I don't even know why we are dating! All we do is fight!" he yelled.
"Fine then that means we shouldn't even date!" I yelled to him while storming off. I walked home and once I did get home I tripped over someone's suitcase and fell flat on my face. I groaned and hung up my coat. I walked into the kitchen and started getting out pans.
"Uh, Gabriella what are you doing?" Kelsi asked me.
"I'm making dinner what does it look like." I snarled at her. I could feel everyone looking at me, but I didn't care. Five minutes later I heard the front door slam and then feet pounding upstairs.
"What the hell is going on?" Ryan asked.
"Ryan language." His mother warned him.
"Sorry, mother." He said looking down into his mug. I was now cutting up some carrots and potatoes. I then threw them into the pot that was boiling. Soon I was down and waiting for everything to finish cooking. But I waasn't just going to sit back and relax. I started to make Cherry Pie.
"Hey, do you need help?" Zeke asked standing up.
"No, sit down now." I said pointing to his seat. He sat down and I wiped my hands on my apron. I finished making it then I put it in the oven. I looked around trying to see if I could anything.
"Uh, Gabriella can I talk to you now. Please." Taylor ordered me. I followed her into the living room.
"What?" I asked her.
"Ok, what is worng with you? I eman first your cooking, but then you baked a pie. You never and I mean never do this unless your pissed or depressed." She said to me.
"Nothing is wrong. I just think the parents should have a nice meal coming in here." I said smiling.
"Gabriella-." She was saying, but I cut her off.
"Troy and I broke up." I said.
"Why?"
"He wanted to tell his parents about us, but I thought it was too soon so I asked him no to. Then we got into this argument and he said well if we fight so much why are we even going out? So I yelled fine we shouldn't be and I stormed away. All I wanted him to do was wait for two or three days, but no he had to get his temper up. I mean I just wanted to dace with him under the snow." I said.
"Aww, Gabriella sweetie he'll get over it." Taylor said.
"He probably will. I'm going to go check on the pie." I said smiling. I walked into the kitchen and found that the food was all done.
"I'll se the table." Mr. Evans said.
"No, please I'll have Bolton set the table." I said smiling to him. I went to the end of the stairs and called for Troy and told him to set the table. I went back into the kitchen and put the beans and everything on plates or in bowls. Troy was setting the table. We all sat down at the table and unfortunately I had to sit next to Troy. I never made eye contact with him. I would talk to the parents when they asked me some questions, but other then that was it. We had moved on to desert and I brought out the pie.
"Gabriella, this is really good." Mr. Baker said (I don't know Zeke's last name so I'm just naming him Baker hehe.)
"Thank you." I said smiling.
I had my right hand under the table and heard Troy clear his throat.
"Everyone can I have your attention for a minute." Troy said. I looked at him strangely.
I then felt his hand cover mine. What the hell did this boy think he was doing?
"Mom, dad Gabriella and I are dating." He said looking at his parents. My mouth wide open. Nuh-uh he did not just say that. Everyone was congratulating me and him.
"No! We are not dating! Remember we broke up!" I yelled while standing up. Everyone was looking at me and I shook his hand off of mine.
"So stop lying to everyone and tell them the truth!" I yelled running out of the kitchen and to my room. Then I remembered we had to share a room. I groaned falling onto my bed.
