Chapter 4 - Halloween
It's been about a month since the first day of school, and I could tell I would LOVE it. East High was very friendly, and lively, and I've already joined a few extra-curricular activities. Such as the Scholastic Decathlon Team, Drama Club, Dance Team, Art Club, and a Football thing. It's not the team (that's not until November-January, same time as the Basketball season.). It's just a little Co Ed organization in our school, and there are about 80 players, although I'm one of 3 girls. It doesn't play against any other schools. It's just to play. Chad is in with me. Turns out he plays Football too.
Well, in the past month, we've met and talked to a lot of people, but only two more guys were actually... compatible? Well, yeah. Only two guys, Zeke Baylor and Jason Cross. Oh, and we also met Ryan, Sharpay's brother. They're twins. He sometimes hangs out with us, too. Zeke was in my gym class, and is a sweet guy. He's tall, and cute, if I must say. He also plays basketball, and bakes. I know, surprising, right? Anyway, it's so obvious that he has a thing for Sharpay. And Jason, he's really cute, shy, and kind of slow... hehe. He also plays basketball. He is in my Science class. And Ryan, he's not always with us. He's usually with people like Martha Cox and such. The braniacs, and some people in the Drama Club, too.
Everyone got to know each other pretty well. Especially Troy and I. We've gotten to know each other REALLY well. We tell each other just about everything. If you didn't know any better, you would think we have known each other since we were born.
Anywho, Halloween is coming up in a few days, and there's going to be a dance. I want to go, but I've never been asked yet. I have no one to go with if Troy gets a date because Tay and Chadster are going together, and Shar and Z-man are going together. And Ryan is going with that girl Martha. But, T-bone and I, are flying solo so far.
Haha, the nicknames. All of them were based on inside jokes. 'Nuff said.
Okay, back to the story. I was getting something in my locker, when I saw Troy coming up to me. "Hey, Brie-berry."
Haha, that's his nickname for me. Only he calls me that. Well, everyone has their own nickname for me, kinda weird. Shar's is Gab-pie, Tay's is just Gab or Gabs, Zeke's is Gabbington (after Paddington Bear.), Chad's is Gabster, Ryan's is Ella (I think it's too girly, but whatever, I respond to it.), Jase's is Gaboo, and Troy's is Brie-berry.
"Hey, T-bone. What's up?" I said as I closed my locker.
"Nothing, I was just wondering, are you going to the Halloween dance with anyone?"
"Uhm, yeah." I lied. "I'm going with this guy who's actually good looking." I said grinning and sticking my tongue out at him.
"Hey, that hurt," he pouted "Right here." he said pointing to his heart.
"Haha, I kid, T-Bone. No, I'm not going with anyone. Why are you asking?"
"Uhm, maybe, do you want to go with me? I mean, we could go as just friends."
"Yeah, sure. It'll be fun."
"Awesome. So, I'll pick you up at around eight to get there?"
"Okay. So, What are you going as?" I asked him as we walked to... I don't really know. It's free period. We'll just walk around.
"I'm thinking of going as... a Vampire." He replied "And maybe a certain someone would like to be my Vampiress?"
"Sure, why not? I don't have a costume yet, I was planning on getting one tonight. Wanna come with me?"
"Yeah, okay. I need to get my costume, too."
"Let's play a little one-on-one before gym"
That Friday... (The day of the dance.)
"Hey Shar, Tay. What are you and the guys going as for the dance tonight?"
"Chad and I are going to be Plug and Socket."
I stared at her with bulging eyes. "Ooooh, you guys are dirrrty."
She laughed. "I was just kidding, geez. We're going as a Prince and Princess."
"Oh, okay. How about you, Shar?"
"Zeke and I are going as Salt and Pepper shakers."
Tay and I looked at her for a moment, before we burst out laughing.
"Why?" I managed to get out.
"Well, he said that it would be perfect for us because we're 'black and white', and he loves to cook, so I was like 'What the hell, why not?'"
"Wow..." I said.
"Okay, so Gab-pie, what are you and Troy going as?"
"How did you know I was going with Troy? I never told you yet."
"But, Gabs, Chad told me that Troy was so excited that he called him at 3 in the morning, to tell him that he was going to the dance with you."
"Wow... again."
"Haha, yeah. So, what are you two going as?"
"Vampire and Vampiress"
"Oh, wow."
"What?" I asked confused.
"Nothing, let's get to class" Tay replied, and the three of us made our way to Science.
"Ooh, Gab-pie. Look who's waiting for you outside of Science class." Shar teased.
"Shut up" I whispered. "He might not be waiting for me."
"Bet you five bucks he is." Tay said.
"I second that bet."
"Fine," I said., and walked up to him. "Hey, Troy. What are you doing...?"
"Oh, nothing. Just waiting for a beautiful girl named Gabriella Montez. Well, now that she's here, we can head inside." He said, grabbing my hand, and walking into class.
I looked back at Shar and Tay to see them smirking, holding up their hands, and mouthing '5 dollars'. I rolled my eyes, and took my seat in the last row.
It's finally 8:00 p.m., and Troy's gonna be here any second to pick me up.
DING DONG
Speak of the devil...
"Hey. You look great, for a Vampiress." he said, I giggled, and we walked to East High.
We had a great night, we danced, talked, and had some punch, and now, Troy's walking me home.
"I had a great time tonight." he said. "Did you have fun?"
"Yeah, I did. Well, here we are. Thanks for walking me."
"No problem, I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Yeah, what do you want to do?"
"Uhm, I could pick you up, and we go out for ice cream, the, I don't know. Whatever comes to mind..."
"Sure, see you tomorrow."
"Yup, see you." He said, and gave me a light kiss on the cheek. Good thing he left immediately after that, or he would've seen me blushing madly with a huge grin on my face.
I could feel the blood rushing through my veins, me heart beating rapidly in my chest, and the butterflies that were now in my stomach. I know it's only been a month, but, am I falling for Troy Bolton?
Nah, he was just a friend.
