Chapter 6: Something More
Troy's POV
On the way to Gabriella's we stopped by my house so I could grab some clothes to paint in. After we talked about being friends the rest of the ride was silent. Well except Gabriella was singing along to the radio, and she thought I couldn't hear. Boy was she wrong…
I pulled into Gabriella's driveway and then shut off the car. We walked up the path to her door and then walked inside the house.
After we changed into our clothes that we could paint in we walked up towards her room. She opened the door and I was shocked. Her old white walled room with a bed, a dresser, and a desk with a computer was gone. There was absolutely nothing in her room except for plastic on the floor, windows and doors, paint tape on the window sills and door frames, paint, paint brushes, and paint rollers.
"Whoa what happened to your room?" I asked.
"Last night Andrea and I took everything out of my room. We gave all of the old stuff to goodwill and I'm going to buy all new furniture tomorrow because I've had my old stuff since I was like 6." She laughed and I looked over at her and watched her laugh. She is so beautiful…
We walked over to the paint cans and I knelt down and opened the paint bucket. I lifted the lid. "Lime green?" I love that color!
"HEY! That's my favorite color!"
"It is way better than pink!" I added and we both laughed.
I grabbed one of the paint brushes and dipped it in the paint. I pulled it out and splashed it on her. Thank god the doors and windows are covered.
I smirked as I saw her shocked face. "HEY!" she took off her glasses that got lime green paint on them. When she took them off I saw her beautiful chocolate brown eyes…They are amazing.
She placed the glasses on the floor and dipped her paint brush in the can. She then splashed it on me.
"BRIE!" I exclaimed looking down at my shirt.
"Payback sucks Bolton!" She smirked and put her hand on her hips.
Then we got into a full fledged paint splashing war. After we were both covered in lime green paint we then decided to paint the walls instead of each other.
WAIT! "Brie?"
"Yea?" she responded without turning around.
I picked up her glasses that were on the floor and looked through them. The lens was just a clear plastic! "Why do you wear these?" I asked shocked.
She turned around and looked at me with shock written all over her face. "Oh umm because I need them?" she asked rather than stated.
"No, you don't. You had perfect aim with the paint brush and have been painting this wall for nearly 30 minutes without them!" I said walking over towards her.
Gabriella's POV
I tried to search my brain for a good enough excuse, but there wasn't any. I sighed and he asked the one question I dreaded.
"Why do you hide behind these glasses Brie?" He asked while looking at me with a soft expression on his face.
"I really don't know why Troy." I said looking away from his eyes lying.
"Brie you are lying."
I let out a huge sigh. "Troy I hide behind my glasses because I try to be invisible." I met his eyes and he was looking at me questionably.
"Why Brie?"
"Because the majority of the people at school are jerks and if I'm invisible they won't notice me." I said looking down at my feet finding the oddly interesting.
"Brie I'm so sorry." He walked over to me and hugged me. What am I feeling for him?
"I know you are Bolton!" I pulled away and used my paintbrush, which was in my hand, to paint his hair.
He looked at me shocked. "You are going to regret that Montez!" He chased me in circles around my room and he finally caught me around the waist and we fell to the floor with him straddling me. He then started to tickle me.
"Say Troy Bolton is the hottest best friend you have!" He continued to tickle me and I continued to laugh.
"Never!" I couldn't stop laughing.
"Say It!" He urged me.
"NO!"
"Fine I guess I will just keep tickling you!" He said while tickling me twice as hard.
"Ok…Troy Bolton…is the…hottest…best friend!" I said in-between laughs.
He stopped tickling me, but was still straddling me. "See now that wasn't that hard!" He smirked at me.
"Yes now get off of me!" I laughed.
"What if I don't want to!" He challenged.
"Do you want me to get the brush out again?" I held the brush in my hand that was under his leg and started to squeeze it out of his grip.
He rolled off of me, "I'm off, I'm off!"
I stood up and looked around my room. "Ok Troy we better finish this up." I turned on the radio and we continued painting.
We finished up at about 7 and then we collapsed on the floor. "OK we better study." I said.
"Yeah ok."
"Wait, we might want to shower first," I sat up and started to clean things up and he got up and helped me. Once we cleaned up he stood in front of me.
"Ok you can take my bathroom and I'll use my sisters." I said gesturing over towards my bathroom door.
"Ok," he said and I walked out of the room over towards my sister's room.
Troy's POV
After I showered and put my clothes back on from school I walked down to Brie's living room and saw Andrea sitting on the couch looking at a camera. "What are you doing Andrea?"
She looked up at me and started to laugh. "Oh just looking at some pictures."
I walked over to the couch and sat next to her. "Can I see them?"
"Of course…" She handed me the camera and I switched through the pictures. They were of Brie and I having our paint fight.
"Andrea, were you spying on us?"
"Yes and I have to say it was hilarious!" she started to laugh even more.
"Uhh Thanks," I laughed. "Wait Andrea can I borrow your memory card?"
She stopped laughing and then looked at me raising one of her eyebrows in a questioning look. "What for?"
"A surprise…" I said mischievously.
"Can I know?" She asked hopeful.
"Nope!" I said with a smirk.
"C'mon Troy Please!"
"You will find out soon!"
"She will find out what soon?" Gabriella asked as she walked down the stairs.
"Nothing!"
Gabriella's POV
"Umm ok…" Troy's hiding something…
Andie stood up and walked up to me by the stiars and winked at me. "I'll leave you two to study." She walked up the stairs and I walked over to the couch and sat down by Troy.
"So English or Math?" I asked already knowing the answer.
"Definitely English!" Troy said pulling his Romeo and Juliet book out of his backpack.
I laughed. "Ok…"
Troy's POV
"UGH! Brie it has been 3 hours! Can w please give up on homework!" I hate homework but I love this whole spending time with Brie thing.
She laughed and shut her book. Her laugh is so beautiful. "Ok Troy we can stop." She said while putting her legs underneath her on the couch.
"THANK YOU!" I leaned back against the couch and closed my eyes and laughed.
I opened my eyes and saw Brie with a confused slash shocked look on her face. "Brie what's wrong?"
"Nothing…." She said forming her face back to normal and smiling at me. Liar…
"No Brie, tell me…" I said while situating myself on the couch so I was facing her.
"It's just I don't have a ride in to town tomorrow since my car still doesn't have gas…I could call Taylor, but her little bug wouldn't be able to hold all the stuff for my room." She was talking more to her self then she was talking to me.
WAIT! "Brie I'll give you a ride!" More time with you anyways.
"Troy you seriously don't have to I can call Taylor."
"But like you said her car won't hold everything and I want to give you a ride. So its settled." I smiled at her.
"Ok fine…But be aware I am shopping…"
"You're not some crazed girl who goes crazy at a mall are you?" Please say no please say no!
She laughed. "No, but it may take me a while to decide on what to buy."
"Ok well cool." I stood up and she walked me to the door. "So I'll pick you up at say 10ish?" I opened the door and leaned on it.
"Sounds great." She smiled and I walked outside to my car.
Gabriella's POV
I opened my eyes and rolled over on my sister's bed, which she let me sleep in last night with her. I looked over at the alarm clock.
9:58!! CRAP!! I need to get ready. I jumped out of bed and walked over to my sister's chair where my clothes were.
Then the doorbell rang. Just great!
I pulled a pair of jeans from my clothes pile and slipped off my shorts. I put on the jeans and looked through the pile for a shirt. I found one of my old East High sweatshirts and slipped it on.
KNOCK KNOCK
"Hold on!" I yelled. I ran inside my sister's bathroom and threw my hair up into a messy bun. I swiped on some mascara and then grabbed my purse that was lying on top of all of my clothes. I opened the door and saw Troy leaning against the wall adjacent from the door.
"Hey," I said breathless.
"Hey," He said chuckling.
"What's so funny?" I asked confused.
"Nothing," he said and stopped laughing. "Where are your glasses?" He smirked.
"CRAP! I packed my extras in the boxes and SOMEBODY," I glared at Troy, "Got paint on the ones I didn't pack!" Thank god I really don't need them.
"Shame you can't wear any," he said sarcastically and then started to laugh.
"Oh shut up!" I hit him on the arm playfully. "Let's just go!"
We walked down the stairs, said bye to Andie and then walked outside to Troy's hummer. He walked over to the passenger side door and held it open for me.
"Thanks," I said as I climbed into the huge SUV. He shut my door and ran around the front of the car to the driver's side door. He climbed in and started the engine and pulled out of my driveway.
"So Brie where to first?" He asked while searching for a radio station.
"How about Bed, Bath, and Beyond?" I said shrugging.
"Sounds good," he said as he sped into town.
About 3 hours later….
"Finally done!" I said while sitting in Troy's car on the way to my house.
"I know!" he said
"Now I get to move everything back in!" wonderful!!
Troy shrugged, "I'll help you." I looked over at him and then he looked at me and smiled. Troy is acting very strange lately.
"Thanks."
To be kicked when you're down To feel like you've been pus-
I pulled out my Verizon Wireless Voyager and pressed talk, "Hello?"
"Hey Gabs it's Taylor."
"Hey Tay what's up?" I asked and Troy looked over at me with a weird expression.
"What are you doing tonight?" she asked me.
"Umm nothing…you and Kels should come over and see my new room. It will be done by then. Maybe a movie night?" I suggested.
"OK cool! What time?" she asked.
"Umm how about 7?"
"Great! I'll bring the popcorn and I'll tell Kels to bring the nail polish and music. You can supply the movies since you are a movie freak!" she laughed and I laughed along. Movies are my guilty pleasure. I love any kind of movie except I'm not a big fan of horror.
"Great I just got a new flat screen TV for my room! I'll see you at 7."
"Ok see you Gabs!"
"Bye Tay!" I pressed end and put my Voyager back in my bag.
"Who was that?" Troy asked glancing over at me.
"Taylor, we are going to have a girl's night tonight."
"Cool so boys out by 6:55 in other words?" he smirked over at me and I laughed.
"Yepp!"
We arrived back at my house and carried all of the furniture inside with the help of Andie. Troy and I put all of the furniture together and organized it in my room. We finally got done hooking up my computer and setting up my TV and by the time we were done it was 6:45. I looked at my room and it looked so much better than it used to. There used to be plain white walls, a plain 4 poster bed with a white comforter, a bed side table only with an alarm clock on it, and a plain old computer desk with my lamp on it.
Now the walls are lime green, I still have the same 4 poster bed but now it has an aqua blue comforter on it with little lime green stitching in it. Also now my plain old bed side table has a framed picture of my whole family and my alarm clock. My computer desk now has a book shelf over it with all of my books and some knick knacks. I have a huge DVD shelf containing all of my DVDs and I also bought some picture frames which I have yet to fill.
"Thank you so much Troy!" I said while looking around my room.
"No problem Brie," He said.
"So I'll see you Monday during free period?" I asked hopefully.
"Like always," He smirked at me and walked out of my room. I looked out my window and saw him walk out to his car and drive off. I plopped down on my bed and closed my eyes drifting off to sleep.
I woke up to someone shaking my shoulders. "Gabs…Gabs wake up!" I rolled over and opened my eyes. I looked at my alarm clock and it read 7:05. I groaned and looked over at the person shaking me.
"Finally sleeping beauty is awake!" Kelsi said. Her and Taylor snickered.
"Oh shut up!" I said while sitting up and throwing my pillow at them.
"Your room is cute!" Taylor said as she sat on my floor and leaned up against the bed and Kels plopped down on the bed next to me.
"Thanks." I said.
"MOVIE TIME!" Kelsi said and she hopped off my bed and ran over to my DVD rack.
11 PM
We got bored of watching movies so we decided to talk.
Taylor looked at me strange and then tilted her head to the side. "What's up Tay?" I asked.
"What happened to your glasses Gabs?" She asked confused.
OH CRAP! I forgot to get the extra out. "Umm well you see…" I looked down at my hands. "I can see without them."
"Why do you wear them then?" Kelsi asked.
"I kind of hide behind them…" I said nervously.
"Oh Gabs…." Taylor got up on her knees and hugged me. Then Kelsi joined in on the hug.
We pulled apart and then took our spots back. "So Gabs are you excited for the talent show?" Kelsi asked trying to change the subject.
I shrugged. "I guess."
"C'mon Gabs you are a great singer!" Kelsi exclaimed.
"Thanks." I said shyly.
"Anyways…Gabs what is up with you ant Troy?" Taylor asked anxiously.
I shrugged again, "We are friends."
"What happened yesterday and today! Spill all!" Taylor asked very anxiously now.
I told them the whole story starting from the library up to where I fell asleep. They both squealed like every ten seconds.
"Wow who knew the Troy Bolton would be like that." Taylor said.
"He so likes you!" Kelsi said.
"No he doesn't Kels….we are just friends." I said
"You are so blind. I mean I haven't even seen any of this going on and I can tell he likes you." Taylor said.
"Whatever guys lets just drop it and go to sleep. I'm beat." I said yawing.
"OK night." Kels said.
I turned out the lights and plopped down on my bed. As soon as I heard the other two's breathing even out I began to think about Troy. Troy can't possibly like me. He's a jock, I'm a nerd. He's the star basketball player, I'm really clumsy.
Yet he has been really sweet the past two days and that smile. Why am I so confused?
