Chapter 9
I woke up the next morning with a bright sunshine shining at me. It's Valentine's Day! I quickly took a shower, got dressed, brushed my teeth and headed downstairs. My mom already left for work, no surprise there. I never get to see her anymore. She's always away. I grabbed a bowl and cereal from the cupboard and brought out milk. I took a seat at the island and started eating. After a few minutes, the door opens. In comes a boy with a pink polo on and shining blue eyes, guess who?
"Happy Valentines Day, Brie!" Troy said as he handed me my favourite flowers from behind his back, red and white roses.
"Hey, happy Valentines Day too! Thanks for the flowers too." I kiss him on the lips.
"Ready to go?"
"Yup, let me just put my dishes away." I put my stuff away and grabbed my bag, jacket and keys and slipped on my flats. We walk out the door and get in the car. Troy had to go find Chad and tell him something, so I walked in myself, bad idea. Once I got in, I got swarmed by guys, asking me this one question:
"Will you be my Valentine?"
"Sorry, taken" I said as I walked behind troy and hugged him and kissed his neck. "Hey, help me, they want to be my valentine, but I already have you."
"Kay." Troy walked to them. "She's taken, Okay? We all clear?" They all nod and run away. I just laugh.
"Ha! Nice way to tell them that I'm yours." I said with a laugh. Troy just laughs too. We see the gang walking towards us.
"Hey you guys, Happy V Day!" I said as I hugged them all.
"Hey Gabs!" They all replied.
"So troy, what's the surprise?" I asked really impatient
"You'll find out tonight." He said with a grin
"Don't worry Gabs, you'll love it" Chad said with a grin also
"You know?" I asked surprised
"Why do you look surprised?"
"Because, you always blab, and I didn't think Troy would even tell you." Everyone laughed besides Chad.
"Haha, very funny" Chad said sarcastically. The first bell rang and we all headed for homeroom. The whole school and classrooms were full of hearts and flowers, mostly all valentine stuff.
The first half of the day flew by fast. The annoying thing was, that everytime I wasn't with Troy, all the guys would come up to me and asked me something about valentines. It was very annoying! So after the 2nd class, I stayed with Troy the whole time. It was finally lunch! We all walked over to our table and sat down. I sat on Troy's lap.
"So, you gonna tell me what we are doing tonight?" I asked
"Nope, it's a surprise." He said as he ate a fry.
"Pwease?" I asked with my puppy dog eyes.
"Nope, you're just gonna have to wait until tonight." I stuck out my tongue and started eating again. I really want it to be 6 right now, then I can go home and get ready and in an hour, it will be our date. After a few more minutes, a boy came over and handed me a bouquet of flowers. They were daisies though, I hate daisies. But, oh well.
"For you, Miss. Montez" the boy said and handed me the flowers and walked away.
"Weird…I hate daisies. Shar, you want them?" I asked handing them over to her.
"You got flowers, and you don't even want them?" Sharpay asked confused as she took the flowers form me.
"Yup, I hate daisies."
"Okay, whatever." We finished our lunches and the bell rang to go back to our classes.
It was finally time to go. I got my stuff and walked out the room. Troy was already there leaning against the wall.
"Hey, ready to go?" I asked as I hugged him
"Yup" We walked hand in hand to his car. He opened the door for me and ran over to his side.
"So Gabs, for our date, wear like a skirt or dress. Just not jeans." I laugh.
"Okay." We got to my house and I asked Troy to hang out for a bit. We decided to do homework, since we didn't want to do it tonight. We spent about an hour on homework and then decided to watch a movie. When the movie ended it was 5 and my mom just stepped in the house.
"Hello Troy. Hi Gabriella" my mom said as she put her bags down and took off her jacket.
"Hi Gina" Troy said as he got his jacket and slipped on his shoes. I also greeted my mom with a hug.
"Going already Troy?" mom said as she pointed to his jacket.
"Yeah, I have to go home and prepare everything and to make sure everything's set for tonight. Bye Gina." Troy kissed me on the cheek and left. We always kissed on the cheek infront of our parents.
"So, where are you guys going, Gabi?" My mom asked as she walked over to the couch and sat down patting the seat next to her. I sat down and started talking.
"I don't know, he said that it was a surprise." My mom grinned. She knows, that grin of hers, tells me that she knows.
"You know don't you."
"Maybe, but I can't tell you, it's a surprise. He only told me 'cause he need my approval."
"Can you tell me, pwease?" I asked as I did my famous puppy dog eyes, which probably won't work on my mom.
"Nope" She got up and walked upstairs. I sigh
"Oh well" I said to no one in particular. I walked upstairs and searched through my closet to find something to wear. I found something to wear an hour later. It was now 6 and I had to go get ready. I picked out my white dress with a blue ribbon around the waist. (A/n, the white dress that she wore in HSM2 when she sang everyday). And I picked out white pumps that had a bow at the top. I put my hair up in a messy bun and put my make-up on. It was exactly 7 when I was finally done. The doorbell rang and my mom got it. I could hear my mom and troy greeting each other. I walked downstairs and they turned their eyes to me.
"You look beautiful Gabi" Troy said as he walked up to me and kissed me on the cheek.
"Thank-you, you don't look too bad yourself." We linked arms and we said good bye to my mom.
"You guys have fun!" My mom said as we walked over to Troy's car. We started driving for about 15 minutes, and then it suddenly stopped.
"We're here" Troy said as he got out and opened the door for me and held his hand out. We walked out and then we stopped. There was a candle light dinner right beside a beautiful fountain.
"Wow" Was all I could get out. The fountain had blue lights shining at it.
"Like it?" Troy asked, as he led me to the table.
"It's wonderful, thanks Troy" I said as I kissed him. We sat down and Troy pulled out our dinner. We ate and then music started coming on. The song 'When you look me in the eyes' was on. Troy held out his hand and said.
"Wanna dance?" I nodded and we danced to the music, which I don't know where it came from.
If the heart is
always searching,
Can you ever find a home?
I've been looking
for that someone,
I'll never make it on my own.
Dreams can't
take the place of loving you;
there's gotta be a million
reasons why it's true
Troy twirled me around and kissed my cheek. We continued dancing
When you look me in
the eyes,
And tell me that you love me.
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side.
Troy looked me in the eyes, just like the song.
When you look me in
the eyes,
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When
you look me in the eyes.
How long will I be
waiting,
To be with you again
Gonna tell you that I love
you,
In the best way that I can.
I can't take a day without you
here,
You're the light that makes my darkness disappear.
When
you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love
me.
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my
side.
When you look me in the eyes,
I catch a glimpse of
heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the
eyes.
Movin on, I start to realize,
I can reach my
tomorrow,
I can hold my head up high,
And it's all because
you're by my side.
When you look me in the eyes,
And tell
me that you love me.
Everything's alright,
When you're right
here by my side.
When I hold you in my arms,
I know that its
forever.
I just gotta let you know,
I never wanna let you
go.
When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love
me.
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my
side.
When you look me in the eyes,
I catch a glimpse of
heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes.
The song ended and we kissed. We just stood there, lost in each others eyes. I finally broke the silence.
"Thank you that was fun"
"That's not it." I looked at him confused.
"Huh?" Troy walked over to a tree and came back holding a fairly large box, with holes on the sides. He handed it to me and I gave him another confused look.
"Just open it." I obeyed him and opened it. Inside was a little puppy. It was a Yorkshire terrier. It had a little pink bow on the left ear.
"Awww, Troy, its adorable!" I said as I hugged him.
"You're welcome, but Brie, you're squishing the dog." I laugh
"Whoops, ok, so I don't want 'the' dog to be called that anymore. Hmmm, what should we call it?" I asked as I put my hand up to my chin in a thinking kind of way.
"You decide, it's your dog"
"Okay, hmmm…what about…Jewel?"
"Okay, Hi Jewel" Troy said to the dog by petting his head.
"It's our little baby" I said as I cooed at it.
"Haha, yeah, it is. A practice for when we have a real baby." I laugh
"Yeah, practice…" I got my purse and we drove home with the little puppy in my arms. We reached my house and Troy's 15 minutes later, Troy parked his car in his driveway and he walked me to my house.
"Well, good night Brie" He said as he kissed my cheek.
"Good night, T" I said as I kissed him on the lips. "Thank you"
"It was nothing, I love doing things for you. To make you feel special.There's no one else i would rather spend a night with then you." He said with a smile, I smiled back at him. He kissed little Jewel on the head and walked to his house and walked in the door. I walked into mine and saw my mom on the couch watching TV.
I walked over to her with Jewel in my arms.
"Hi Honey, how was your date?"
"Wonderful, it was beautiful." My mom smiled
"I see you brought home a present too, hey?" She said indicating Jewel
"Yup, Troy got her for me." I said as I rubbed her head.
"She's adorable. I knew he was getting you a dog, but I didn't know that she was 'this' cute." She said emphasizing this.
"I love him" I said dreamily. "He's my night and shining armor." My mom smiled
"Okay, go to bed now, school tomorrow."
"Okay" I got up and was walking to the stairs when my mom stopped me.
"Wait, I got you a present or more like presents." She handed me a dog bed and a dog bowl with stickers with it.
"Thanks mom, but what are the stickers for?" I asked taking them from her.
"To put Jewel on the dog bowl. Oh and tomorrow after school, Troy's taking you to the pet store to buy food and a collar." I smile
"Wow, you guys talked a lot." We both laughed and I made my way upstairs. I got changed and put Jewel in her bed and fell asleep. I wonder what's gonna happen tomorrow…
