Gracelynn closed her front door behind her and walked into the living room, after her date with Ryan.

"You know Dad's not happy not knowing who you are dating." Troy said looking up from the TV.

"Oh, and guess what? You know what else Dad will not be happy about? The lipstick on your neck. Uhuh. Buh-bye." Gracelynn said rolling her eyes and walking up the stairs.

She sat down at her computer, and saw that all three girls were online. Probably since all of their curfews were 10 and it was ten after ten.

Gracelynn entered into voice chat with the other three had already started, and put her headset on, because of prying ears that were probably listening.

"So, Zeke, took us, to this totally awesome Italian resturant, and it was so cool."

"I thought you don't like pasta, Shar," Gracelynn finally said.

"GRACE, you scared me, how lone have you been there!"

"Oh, about five minutes, ten tops." Gracelynn dismissed.

"Well, can you wait to tell me, cause I'll be right back." Sharpay said.

"So, Taylor how was your date?" Gabriella asked.

"Yeah, how was it?" Grace asked.

"It was great, we went to this diner in old town, and it was awesome."

"Gabi, I'm not going to ask about your date, because I saw my brother when I came in," Gracelynn said reading another magazine.

Then, Troy burst into the room with a mirror in hand, "Is it gone, please tell me its gone. You know Dad's rules," he ranted.

"Yes, its gone, oops, you missed a little over there," Gracelynn pointed.

Troy ran out of her room.

"I am so mean," Grace laughed.

"Back, okay, Grace what happened on your date? Because asked my brother if he knew when the English paper was due, and all he answered was 'That sounds fine, good night," Sharpay asked.

"I won't say his name, because of someone's prying ears, who wouldn't read it in my diary, cause the real one is hidden, who will find out with the rest of the student body on MONDAY," Gracelynn yelled out to her door, where her brother was listening in.

"Okay...Troy is nosy, I get that, but go on!" Sharpay said impatiently.

"If you must know..."

-FLASHBACK-

"What do you want to see?" Ryan asked Gracelynn nervously.

"Uh, Night In the Museum looks good, I guess. If you want to see it," Gracelynn said looking up at the marquee.

"2 tickets to the Night In the Museum, please," Ryan said to the ticket person.

"That'll be $16.50," they said.

Gracelynn opened her wallet, but Ryan said, "I'm paying," and handed the ticket person the money.

Gracelynn looked down and closed her wallet.

"Well, let me pay for the drinks," Gracelynn resolved.

"No, I asked you, if wouldn't be right," Ryan said even more nervously.

After they had gotten their food, they walked into the theater.

------

"It's a nice tonight," Gracelynn noted as they walked through the park near their houses.

Ryan just nodded, "You're really quiet tonight, you okay?" Gracelynn asked.

"Who? Me? I'm fine really? You okay? Yes, its a nice tonight. You like the movie? Am I rambling?" Ryan asked fast sitting down at the bench they had walked by.

Gracelynn also sat down and said, "Just relax, Ry." She said, giving him a look that made him melt.

"Okay, fine, I'm better now? Happy?" Ryan asked.

"Very, so you said you wanted to ask me something?" Gracelynn asked.

"Ah, right. About that, I know this is the first date and all and it a bit sudden, will you be my girlfriend?" he asked eagerly.

"I'd love to,"

"I totally understand if it's too sudden, because the first date and all..wait, did you just say yes?"

"Yes," Gracelynn clarified, "Now if I don't get home in the next ten minutes, you wouldn't see me for another month."

"We couldn't have that, could we," Ryan said getting up offering his arm to Gracelynn, who looped her arm through his.

--------

"Then, he took me home, that's the whole story." Gracelynn said.

"See, I knew you would get a boyfriend, sooner or later," Taylor said.

"Yeah, yeah," Gracelynn dismissed yet again.


"...that will be 4 o'clock after school on Thursday," Ms. Darbus said reading the announcements, "Now, we have auditions for our upcoming Spring Musicale, Friday after school. It is different than anything we have done before. It focuses on two singing groups, one girl, one boy, competing for their school at a statewide competition. This play will need a lot of people; everyone in drama in grades 9 through 12 is guaranteed, a part. The lead groups audition will be done with groups of four, the others will be single auditions and be made into 'bands'. It is very far reaching, but it is very dramatic, and takes the heart and soul of an actor to portray the part."

The bell rang signaling the end of homeroom. Gracelynn went down several hallways to get her books for her next couple of classes, when her brother came next to her locker and asked,

"Can you tell me now?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because I said so."

"Partypooper."

"And proud out of it!" Gracelynn exclaimed closing her locker and walking off to class.


How was this chapter? Good? Bad? Okay? Okay, I need ideas how Troy and the student body to find out...hmm...HELP!
