I wish I could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you
Look into the mirror who's inside there
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today
My outsides are cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I'm just trippin'

You can buy your hair if it won't grow

You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make up
That M.A.C. can make
But if you can't look inside you

Find out who am I to
Be in a position to make me feel so

Damn unpretty

I feel pretty

Oh so pretty
I feel...
...pretty and witty and bright
Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm bein' stupid
I used to be so cute to me
Just a little bit skinny
Why do I look to all these things
To keep you happy
Maybe get rid of you
And then I'll get back to me, hey
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Every time I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
Keep on trippin'
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make up
That M.A.C. can make
But if you can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in a position to make me feel so
Damn unpretty
I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel...
...pretty and witty and bright
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Tonight
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Tonight
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Tonight
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I feel pretty
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
Oh, so pretty
You can fix your nose if he says so
I feel pretty and witty and bright
You can buy all the make up
That M.A.C. can make, but if...
...you can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in a position to make me feel so
Damn unpretty
I feel pretty

But unpretty

July 2: Unpretty

I clung unto the satin sheets, as I twist and turned in the bed and sweating.

"Well I see you survived the bus trip after all"

Thump Thump

"Daddy"

"Oh, Gabriella! I know this is tough but try to make the best of It. How about that sweetie?"

"Dad!"

"Gabriella!" I felt someone hand on my shoulder, and clung unto the sheets more

"Gabriella" Someone whispered softly in my ear, and I screamed louder and cried

"Gabriella, Its Troy?"

"Huh?"

"Come here" He pulled me closer when he wrapped his arms around my waist and slipped my arms under his arms and clung unto his stripped pajama shirt

"I heard you screaming and crying, surprised you didn't wake up my parents. Are you okay? Were you having a nightmare?" He soothed in my ear, and rubbed smoothing circles on my back and I dug my face into his neck and nodded

"Its okay! Do You Want Me To Stay with you because I will go if you want" He pulled away when I pulled unto his t-shirt pulling him closer.

"No Stay"

"Okay, Ill stay then" He pulled the cover from under him, and pulled over here, getting under the covers with me. He came closer and I felt him wrap his arms around me closer.

"You know if my parents are going to kill us, if they find us like this"

"Maybe, Maybe not" I said staring at him, laying down then I closed my eyes. I felt him kissing my hair, and nuzzling his nose into my curls and I smiled

"Goodnight, Troy"

"Goodnight Gabriella"

I peeked my eyes open through the clovers when I felt the emptiness of the bed and I frowned at the sun peeking in through the balcony doors and I groaned. I thought I closed the curtains. That's when I felt that someone was still lying beside me I turned my head to see Troy, still sleep and saw the back of the wild Brownish Locks and I frowned when I felt him pulling me closer nuzzling his nose into my hair. But I heard whispering, and closed my eyes then listened.

"Aww, Look at them Jack, Aren't They Just Adorable"

"Yeah, They seem peaceful. Luce but aren't a Little bit upset"

"Maybe a little, since they are teenagers but look at them. They look so in love, like Romeo & Juliet"

"Romeo & Juliet, You say Luce"

"Yeah, One fairer than my love? The all-seeing sunNe'er saw her match since first the world begun"

"Okay Luce, I get it"

"Oh, you're still mad because I got an A in Mrs. Darbus"

"She didn't like me, just like her daughter Darbus. Can you believe, she's just like her mother. Both, pain in my_"

"Jack! Come On, I think Gabriella is waking up"

I lessened Troy's protective grip around my waist, but after not being close to him, made me incomplete but I slowly stirred not waking him and I opened the door and walked down the stairs. I walked into the kitchen and saw two fresh baked muffins with Troyella ;) on it Troyella? What do they mean by Troyella? I frowned and when I turned around to see Lucille standing there with a goofy smirk on her face, holding her book and she looked like she came from the garden, because she was wearing gardening gloves and her arms crossed against her chest.

"So, Gabs. Did you and Troy sleep well last night"

"Well, I was having a hard time sleeping last night and Um, Troy came into my room to see If I was okay"

"Oh, you say" She replied with a smirk

"Okay, I know you and Jack saw us. Troy offered to stay with me but Its not what you think"

"Mhmm, okay" She said replacing her smirk with a smile then I eyed her closer

"What's up, your sleeve Lucy"

"Oh Nothing Sweetheart" She said innocently and headed towards the kitchen for a glass of lemonade

"And what's Troyella"

"An abbreviation for Troy and Gabriella"

"But were not a couple. Only couples do that"

"Not for long" I thought I heard her mumble and I frowned

I bit into the muffin with I saw Troy heading down the stairs, he was buttoning up his blue shirt and mumbling something under his breath. He groaned and he kept trying button his shirt and I giggled. I walked over to him then buttoned It for and he smiled at me when he about to lean in, like he about to kiss me we heard Lucille clear her throat behind us. She was smirking and she laughed.

"Thanks" Troy said as I fixed his collar for him and winked at me.

"Troy, where are you heading to" Lucy asked pouring the lemonade into the glass

"Work, remember, I start working at the country club today"

"Oh hunny, I thought you start next week"

"No, Fulton wants me to start early so I work everyday for an whole month. This whole July"

"Well that's good that Its only a month because we have our annual family summer trip in August right before summer ends and you guys go back to school for your senior year"

"Oh, hunny! Maybe you can convince Fulton to hire Gabriella, maybe as lifeguard. You guys can get to know each more, working together and bond" Lucy said

She was definitely up to something. "You know, that's a great idea"

"Um, I don't know" I said

"Come on, Gabriella. Sharpay's family owns the place. All of the gang works there. Come on, Ella"

Ella?

"Okay, Troy"

I sat at the dresser, combing my straightened hair. I looked at my attire, that I was wearing and a yellow tank top with a white mini skirt. I wanted to dress, I don't know more like Tenley. I didn't feel pretty, I wasn't like Tenley, who was absolutely gorgeous. She had the perfect strawberry blonde hair, the perfect personality, the perfect green eyes. I just felt so damn, unpretty! I tightened the straps of my bathing suit under my yellow tank top and straps of the top around my neck and I heard a knock on my door and went over to open It revealing Troy.

"Hey" I said dryly and walked back over to my dresser and sat down.

"Wow! Um, Wow" His eyes widened and continued to stare at me

"Wow, Um, what's wrong" He said still eyeing me

"Nothing, wrong Troy"

"Then, why are you wearing that""You don't think I look Hot, God. I'm such a fool"

"No, No, Noo. I'm not saying that you don't look Hot because wow, you are but I don't know, Its just don't seem like you. I guess I used to you wearing jeans and converses."

"Yeah, were I'm tired of just being that girl who wears jeans and converses. I want to be beautiful and gorgeous" I said picking up the eyeliner and he snatched It away from me.

"Gabriella, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. And you don't need all of this junk on your face"

"No, I'm not! I'm hideous" I said snatching the eyeliner back but snatched it back

"Yes u are, you're gorgeous, sexy, smart and beautiful. You're amazing." He said throwing the eyeliner in the trash

"Can we talk about last night at the lake"

"We have nothing to talk about, Troy"

"So, you do not want to talk about us"

"Us? Troy? There is never going to be a us? Can we just go to the country club now" I said soon regretting when Troy got up angrily and brushed past me and I followed him out

.

The Car Ride Was complete silence As we drove to the country club! Troy didn't say one word, he just continued to focus on the road and I gnawed down at my lip guilty and broke the silence.

"I'm sorry, I didn't meant It"

"Its okay, Gabriella. I understand now, that you don't like me in that way so I guess should move on and try to make things work out with Tenley"

"But_"

"No, Its okay. I still want to be friends"

God, wouldn't won the just let me talk?

"But, I_"

"No its okay"

"Okay then" I mumbled before looking out of the window and frowning, we were there. We pulled up into the large gates with had a Huge E in front of It and we pulled up more and parked when a pink convertible car pulled up beside us and parked also. Sharpay got out of the car wearing a large pink hat, with a pink long sweater, with a white two-piece bathing suit. She was smiling at something and I looked over to see Zeke heading her way then he hugged her and kissed her on the cheek. Troy got out of the car and opened It for me.

"Thanks" I mumbled

"Hey, Gabriella" Sharpay said unsurely

"Hey Sharpay"

"So, Troy what's Gabriella doing here"

"Well, I was maybe thinking about asking Fulton, can Gabriella be hired as the new lifeguard"

"O-M-G! Totally! You're already hired"

"But don't we have ask Fulton"

"Oh, Please! That creep takes orders from me! Lol! I'm playing but seriously"

"Where is Fulton anyways?"

"Probably in the kitchen yelling at Chad and Jason"

"That's reminds me, I have to go! I'm on chef duty" Zeke said before kissing Sharpay's cheek and heading towards the door of the club!

"Well okay, lets go to the kitchen"

Troy grabbed my hand when he lead me to the door, and in through the kitchen. Most of the staff where wearing the same buttoned up, light blue shirts and dark jeans like Troy. Some were wearing white attires and chefs hats, like Zeke. It smelled amazing, like crème Brule.

"BOLTON" We turned around to see a man who looked to about in his mid 40's, he had grayish-blonde hair and he wore thick rimmed glasses which sat at the bridge of his nose as angrily glared at Troy. He was wearing a Dark Gray Suit With blue Tie..

"Yes, Mr. Fulton!" Troy replied

"You're on Kitchen Duty" He said rudely throwing the apron at Troy

"But I thought I would be working at the pool, like last year"

"Well is this last year"

"No Sir"

"Alright then, now Who Is This"

"Gabriella Montez" I said reaching my hand out and he groaned and shook my head

"And why are you here"

"Sir, this is Gabriella. And she's here to fill in the spot as the new lifeguard"

"Hmm, so you say" Fulton said tapping the end of his chin and sighing

"Are you a fast swim swimmer"

"Yes sir, very fast"

"Well then you're hired if Mrs. Evan says so but remember everyone around here gets only three strikes and they're out! Comprende"

"Yes, sir"

"Well very then, but today you'll start off with kitchen duty then after lunch you will start at the pool. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an yoga class to attend to"

"Wow, he's a Dick"

Troy handed me apron and I looked around and sighed. And I tied It around my neck and waist when Zeke came and handed Troy and I notebooks

"You Guys can Go Take Orders" He winked and walked back over to other side of the kitchen

I slipped off the white mini skirt and yellow Tank Top revealing my two piece bathing suit when I started to feel like I was showing too much. I slipped into the red one piece and I sighed. I tied my straightened hair into a ponytail and then slipped on my aviators and walked out of the dressing room. I headed towards the lifeguard chair, placed the lifeguard sign on top of the gate then climbed unto of the chair. I was lying there listening to the teens and children in the pool splashing around, letting the sun shine on me, when I could see a shadow, through my glasses and I groaned when I took them off.

"Bolton, you're blocking my sun" I heard him chuckle and I opened my eyes.

"Well, Hello to you too! But I saw that you didn't eat lunch, so I brought you a sandwich"

"Troy, you didn't have to do that"

"Yes, I did! Don't need you passing out me, do I! Here take it"

"Thanks" I said before taking the delicious looking sandwich

"You are welcome, my lady" He said in a French accent before heading back to the kitchen

Sighing exhaustless, I walked back into the kitchen with my mini skirt and tank top back on with my soaking wet hair after closing the pool and I sighed. When Troy came back in, sighing furiously.

"I am so exhausted" He said throwing, his apron down on the table

"Can we go home, now?" I said groaning

"We still have a couple of hours, I think"

"I'm so tired" We heard another voice come in and I looked up through my eyelashes and frowned at the person. It was Tenley

"Hey, Ten. Long Day at the golf course" Troy said rubbing her arms gently and she sighed

"Yes! Oh, Gabriella! Hi! I didn't know you were here" She said placing her long Strawberry Blonde hair into a ponytail and smiled

"Yeah, I'm the new lifeguard"

"O-M-G! Really, that's so great"

"Yeah, I didn't know you worked here" I said glaring at Troy and he simply shrugged his shoulders

"Yeah, I help out around the Golf Course, like a Caddy! Since Aunt and Uncle Evans just wanted to me help around the Country Club since I am like family"

"That's rocks! So, yeah"

"I'm so exhausted dude" Taylor said working in the kitchen and leaning against the counter. Then the rest of the gang walked in and I rolled my eyes

"Hey, guys did you Gabriella" Troy said and they all waved and smiled

"Hey, Gabriella"

"Hey guys"

"Yeah, Gabriella is the new lifeguard"

"O-M-G! Really, That's so awesome"

"Yeah!"

"So, are you guys all going straight home after this"

"Yes, because I am exhausted" Sharpay said while filing her nails and leaning against a counter

"But you been teaching yoga all day, isn't that suppose to be relaxing" Jason said

"No, It is not"

"So you say"

"And, what is that supposed mean" Sharpay said pointing her perfectly manicured finger at Jason

"I'm just saying, that"

"Saying what, Cross"

Suddenly, I started to feel a little dizzy and nauseous when I leaned over the counter and started to queasy! Just when I felt like I was about to fall, I felt someone grab me by the waist helping me up. I could still hear the faint argument of Jason and Sharpay as I looked up at the person becoming hypnotized by the ultramarine irises of Troy.

"Hey are you okay" He whispered in my ear and I nodded

"Here, take a seat" He pulled out a seat, and I sat down before he came back with a glass of water

"Thanks. I'm fine"

"Did, you eat that sandwich"

"No"

"Why! Didn't you eat lunch"

"I don't know, I wasn't hungry"

"You obviously were, Come on were going home"

"You guys, Its crazy out there!" Zeke said coming in with plates and putting them in the sink

"I need people to take orders, like crazy"

"Okay, Ill go" I said standing up

"Gabriella, you're sick" Troy said holding his arm around my waist

"I'm not sick, I'm just a little dizzy"

"Yes U Are"

"Just let me go, please" I said and he finally let go and I walked out the door

"Have a good night sir" I said, to the costumer at the table, picking up the bill and walking away. I walked back into the kitchen and saw Troy lining up plates and silverware.

"Hey" I said softly and he looked around and smiled as If he had never anything so amazing in his life, his smile was comforting.

"Hey" He said softly

"You feel better"

"Yeah kind of but I guess I am hungry"

"Well mostly everyone headed home, but we planned a movie night over my house tomorrow"

"Oh, Okay" I said softly

"Come on lets go home" He said grabbing his stuff then grabbing my hand to head out of the door

"I'm so tired" I said walking through the front door, and holding Troy hand

"I am too"

"Hey guys, how was work" Jack said coming out of the kitchen

"Exhausting"

"Ahha, first days of The Country Clubs"

"Yeah, were tired so were going to turn in"

"Okay"

Troy grabbed my hand and led me up the stairs and I sighed

"Don't you want to me to stay with you tonight"

"Please Stay"

"Okay then, Ill stay"

A clung unto the cold sheets when I saw Troy walk into the room, and he got under the covers, laying down facing me. "Are you cold" He said and moved closer wrapping his arms around my waist and I shivered, he rubbed the sides of my arms and moved in closer. He kissed my forehead and that's when I couldn't fight the urge and desire not kiss him back when I leaned forward and kissed his forehead then his nose and when I pulled back, I looked at his lips and leaned it kissed him.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have don't that" I said pulling back and he smiled and leaned forward and pressed his lips to mines, taking every last breath, I had

"Goodnight, Gabriella"

"Goodnight Troy"

"Goodnight Dad"

If Only, Dad was here, he could see how Troy made me feel.
