We swapped numbers and we said goodbye. I turned back to my food and ate. I wonder where Tay and Sharpay are? Well tonight, I knew it was gonna be one hell of a night.
After our groups, it wasn't much fun, I saw Troy there..no surprise and I met up with Jason and we talked a lot more. I walked around the boy's side of the cabin, I wonder where Taylor and Sharpay were at dinner. Oh well, probably more people to ditch me. I sighed. I looked at the cabin numbers. CB12...CB13...CB14. Aha. Zeke's cabin. I hesitantly walked up the steps and knocked on the screen door hoping there would be someone in there.
He opened the door and my face faltered. I blinked rapidly seeing the boy with the big afro In front of me.
"Gabi?" he asked in disbelief.
"Yes Chad.." I said nonchalantly.
"Its great seeing you again" he said with a nervous grin.
"Yeah.. don't touch me, I don't need anymore bruises on me" his eyebrows furrowed.
He sighed. "Look im really sorry Gabi. We..or at least i" he mumbled the last part and spoke louder. "didn't mean to hurt you.."
I sighed frustratingly. He didn't hurt me as much as the others, actually he just stood there doing nothing at times and I was glad for that, same as Zeke..but who did the most damage was Troy.
"I gotta think about that..that's why I came here" I said trying to look past him. Didn't work out quite well actually.
"Okay..well why are you here?...not trying to sound rude" he added the last part.
"Ermm I came to see--" I got interrupted.
"Hey Chad, whose there?" A familiar voice said coming behind Chad and opened the door wider.
"Zeke.." I finished. His blue eyes narrowed on me.
"Troy..go away" Chad said. Troy didn't budge. "Uhh Zeke? ZEEEEEEKE!" Chad yelled. Moments later Zeke appeared at the door smiling down at me.
"Hey Gabs" he greeted.
"Hola" I giggled still standing outside. A rush of wind hit me and I shivered instantly rubbing my hands across my arms.
"Guys..move from the door so Gabi can get in" Zeke commanded. They walked backwards from the door and he opened the screen door. "Come in" he smiled sweetly. I nodded and walked in as Chad and Troy looked at me confused.
"Soo.." I said not thinking of something to talk of.
Zeke chuckled nervously. He walked over to his bed and sat down then looked up at me. "Come into my 'office'" he joked. I giggled and sat next to him. Zeke narrowed his eyes at his friends and they started shuffling their feet going to other places. Troy went to the bathroom while Chad sat on his bed putting in his ear buds for his i-pod and continuously throwing his basketball in the air. "So have you thought about it?" I felt everyone in this cabin listening, and that includes Troy and Chad. It was quite weird actually.
"Ermm... yeah actually" I really did think about it when I was in our pointless little groups.
"Soo?" he asked impatiently.
"Yeah i'll forgive you.. and CHAD" I said loud enough for him to hear. He looked at me and flashed his toothy smile. I smiled back knowing he heard his name.
"Chad?" he asked.
"He opened the door for me and saw me and yadda yadda" I said giggling. He nodded his head slowly. "Okay..well if thats all you wanted to know then i'll get going" I said standing up.
With Troy,while earlier
I walked in the bathroom and stood next to the entrance listening on to Gabriella and Zeke's conversation.
"So have you thought about it?" I heard Zeke ask. Thought about what?
"Ermm..yeah actually" she answered.
"So?" I heard him ask as he obviously got impatient.
"Yeah.. I'll forgive you and CHAD" I heard her say Chad's name louder than usually. I looked at Chad while he flashed his smile. Im guessing they asked Gabriella for forgiveness after what happened in High School.
"Chad?" Zeke asked confused.
"He opened the door for me and saw me and yadda yadda" She said giggling. I chuckled to myself silently. Zeke nodded his head slowly. "Okay..well if thats all you wanted to know then i'll get going" she said standing up.
"Wait" Zeke said interrupting her walk to the door. Gabriella turned around and furrowed her eyebrows. It was amazing how I could see everything from where I am and yet, they haven't noticed.(its like where he stands in hsm2 when he sees the big group practicing with Ryan)
"yeah?" she asked unknowing what he was going to say..or ask.
"Do you wanna..go out tomorrow night?" he asked nervously. GO OUT?! I screamed in my head.
Gabriella took some thought into it and looked at him. "Sorry..." yes she said no! "but yes..i'd love to" she giggled. WHAT! She totally tricked him!
"Why sorry?" he asked.
"I don't know..just to play with your mind" she smirked. How cute did she look?
I heard Zeke chuckle. "Thanks Gabs" he said sarcastically.
"Your welcome" she giggled.
"I'll see you at my cabin tomorrow after the groups for our 'outing'" he said. Gabriella nodded.
"Bye! Bye CHAD!" she yelled his name once again. Chad looked up and waved goodbye. Gabriella looked at Zeke and smiled and left.
I walked out of the bathroom while Chad took off his i-pod ear buds. "You guys were listening the whole time huh?" Zeke asked smirking at us. I looked at Chad and he looked back at me. We lowered our heads and smiled sheepishly. Zeke chuckled. "So what do you think of Gabi now?" Zeke asked.
"I don't even know why we bullied her in when we were in High School..thats for one. But im glad she forgave me" Chad smiled.
"Yeah man I know what you mean." Zeke said. The two narrowed their eyes on me.
"What?" I asked dumbly.
"You know 'what'" Zeke shot back.
"Oh.." I paused for a while. "Well..i want her to forgive me..but she won't" I said.
"Did you ask her?" Chad asked.
"Yeah, every time I do she blows me off" I said telling the truth.
"I wouldn't forgive you if you did that to me" I heard Chad mumble.
"What?" I asked. I knew what he said.
"he means..you were the one that hurt her the most,Troy" Zeke answered. "You did the most damage." he said truthfully.
I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. "I know.." I admitted.
"And you'll have to do something big to get her to forgive you.." Zeke advised.
I nodded. "Yeah. I know.. i'll think of something sooner or later"
"But in the meanwhile, when she's here, just talk to her and don't force her to forgive you or anything" Zeke added. I nodded yes.
"Okay.. well im going to get some air." I said. The two said okay and I walked out to the porch and just stood against the railing collecting my thoughts.
With Gabriella
I giggled. Jason and I were talking for awhile after I left Zeke's house. We just talked about everything we missed out on each other's life. "I should get to my cabin now" I said realizing what time it is.
"Okay.. and Gabi?" He asked.
"Yeah?"
"Do you wanna go out tomorrow night?" My eyes bulged out.
"Uh..umm... im busy tomorrow night but maybe the night after that?" I asked.
"Sure" he smiled. I nodded. We exchanged hugs and goodbyes and I left the cabin. I walked back the same way I came to their cabins and I saw a figure out on a porch.
"Hey" he greeted me.
"Uhm.. Hi?" I asked.
"Nice night out huh?" he asked. He knew exactly it was Gabriella. Gabriella didn't quite know it was Troy.
"Yeah. I suppose so" I smiled.
"Yeah. Well i'll talk to you later" he said and walked back into his cabin. I wonder who that was.
4 in the morning
I tossed and turned and I couldn't sleep. I shot up from my bed and looked around me, Sharpay and Taylor were sleeping peacefully. I sighed and got up and looked outside the window. I decided to go out to the lake for awhile. I put on my sweat pants and a graphic tee with a hoodie and walked out of my cabin quietly so I wouldn't wake Sharpay or Taylor.
I saw a figure out on the ground by the lake. Its kinda scary but I kept my distance. I lied on the ground and looked up at the sky.
"Beautiful night isn't it?" the male voice asked. I jumped at his voice. I decided to keep my identity to myself from the person. And he did the exact same. "Sorry..didn't mean to scare you" guess he saw.
"Its okay" I smiled to myself. "And yes..it is or should we say morning?" I giggled softly.
"Yeah..so you couldn't sleep?" he asked.
"Yeah.. you?"
"Yup." he admitted. "Whats your name?" he asked. I froze. What if it was Troy?!
"What's yours?" I asked back.
"I asked you first" he said.
I giggled quietly. "I asked you second. And second beats first."
"Not really" he argued back.
"Don't stall. Answer the question"
"My name is...Alex" he answered. "Yours?"
"Brielle" I answered using my nickname. Can't be Gabriella because of last night. He thought.
"Nice name" he complimented.
"Thanks..yours too" I smiled. I shifted so my hands were supporting my head.
"So why are you out here...besides the fact you can't sleep." Alex asked.
"Just thinking..the lake calms me..and you?" I replied and asked.
"Same here..so what are sports are you into?" he asked with a sigh.
"Pretty much any sport. Mostly basketball and swimming." I answered truthfully.
"Really? That's awesome. I love to play basketball. But sometimes it gets too competitive you know what I mean?"
"Yeah..i do." I smiled. "So I have something I want you to help me with..because i'm trying hard to help my friend." I lied through my teeth, but not fully. Smart me!
"Okay shoot."
"And please don't tell anyone okay?" I pleaded.
"No problem. So what does your friend need help with?" he asked.
"Well.. there's this guy that used to go to her school that hurt her.. and when I mean hurt..i mean like getting bruises and crying." I explained. "So he's here and her as well..so he's sorry and asking for her to forgive her but she won't.. should she?"
"First.. whats her name?" he asked. If its Gabriella then im gonna get a lot out of.. he got interrupted in his thoughts.
"Maria" I lied instantly.
"Oh...well maybe she should forgive him" he advised.
"Why?" I asked slightly confused.
"Because that was the past and what happens in the past stays in the past" he said. "Is he most likely begging her?"
I sighed. I knew Alex was right. What happens in the past stays in the past. "Yeah he is. And she thinks its kinda annoying" I giggled.
"Oh. Well maybe she should forgive him. Maybe he knew his mistake?" he said. Who knew I could give great advice he thought.
"Yeah but what if she doesn't want to get hurt again?" I argued.
"She'll just have to trust him" Alex said. I sighed. He was right. I guess I have to forgive Troy..but I shouldn't let it off too easily. I closed my eyes briefly "So do you know anyone named Gabriella?" he asked. My eyes shot open.
"No? What kind of a name is Gabriella?" I lied.
"Oh.." he sounded disappointed. "I think I kind of like her.." he admitted sheepishly. My eyes went wide again.
"Umm.. thanks for sharing that with me?" I didn't know what to say.
He chuckled. "She doesn't even know who I am" or at least underneath everything he thought.
"Okay.. creepy stalker much?" I asked backing away.
He chuckled. "Joking..I am NOT a stalker..but I saw her when she was late to that meeting. She's pretty hot" he said trying to sound like not a stalker. Typical Boy. I rolled my eyes.
I giggled. "Err..thats great to know and How do you know her name?"
"That Troy dude was running after her one time..i think? I don't exactly remember." he answered. Damn Troy..
"Oh" I said.
"Yeah... that basketball player" he said with a sigh.
"You like him?"
"WHOA! Not like that" he chuckled.
"I mean as in a role model type or whatever" I giggled.
"Mm.. I don't really care much. But I feel sorry for the guy.. he's always being mobbed by girls and I don't think he likes that so much." Alex said honestly.
"How do you know that? He seems to be enjoying those girls"
"Uh.. I don't know so much. But I could tell he loves playing Basketball..thats why he just pulls through everything." Alex said thoughtfully. "Do you like him?"he asked. "Like in a role model or whatever" he chuckled nervously.
I let out a small giggle. "He's okay I guess..i don't know..i kinda don't care either.. he's just like us so why treat him differently when he just loves playing a sport and 'accidentally' gets famous for it?"
"Exactly" I heard Alex say. I giggled.
"Yeah.. so what's your last name? If you don't mind me asking" I asked.
"Uhh, its fine.. last names Bryant." he answered. "Yours?"
"Nelson" I lied once again. The most lying i've ever done. NOT. Well its second.
"Cool. What school do you go to?" he asked.
"Out of state. You?" I answered. What a lie. I'm so bad. Ha-ha. Right..
"Same. What state?" he asked.
"You ask to many questions Alex." I said.
"Sorry.. just curious" he answered.
"You know...curiosity killed the cat." I argued.
"Noo.. the cat killed curiosity" he shot back.
"What? Thats confusing" I said. Alex didn't seem like a such a bad guy. He was funny and sounded cute. I just hope we don't have to reveal ourselves.
"Oh I know. But you have to have be a mastermind to know what im talking about" he answered.
I giggled. "Okay..?" I kind of asked.
He chuckled. "Yeah...Im confused."
"About what?" I asked.
"I don't know. Your confusing me." he said.
"What! How am I confusing you when your the one that said 'the cat killed curiosity'" I said in my best manly voice.
He chuckled. "Are you sure your not a guy? You know..?"
I giggled. "Ha-ha very funny" I said with sarcasm laced into my voice.
"You changed the subject." he said.
"Uhh.. no.. you're the one that said..wait...what?...huh?" Now I was truly confused. "Thanks.. now im confused. I don't know who was the first to change the subject..so just drop it" I said bitterly.
"Yes mom" he joked.
"Ha-ha..funny" I said sarcastically again.
He chuckled. "So I go to school out of state also..in California..you?" he asked.
"Florida" I lied once again.
"Nice.. I like the weather there" he said.
"Ever been there?" I asked.
"No" he chuckled.
"Then how do you know?" I asked. Pshh, like I know how the weather over there is too.
"I don't.." he said. We both laughed. I took out my phone and looked at the time. 4:45 I yawned. "Someones tired."
"Well we spent almost an hour out here instead of sleeping..i think im gonna go back" I said standing up.
"yeah.. do you want me to walk you?" he asked.
"No.. its fine" I smiled without him knowing.
"Okay.. well do you wanna meet here again and talk?" he asked full of hope.
I giggled softly. "Maybe if I come out at 4 again." I giggled again.
"Okay. Then i'll see you tomorrow..or talk to you tomorrow maybe at 4 in the morning." he chuckled.
"Yeah...bye Alex.. it was nice talking to you" I said walking back.
"You too Brielle" he said. I sensed him smiling.
I walked back with a smile on my face. Im sure I could sleep now. Alex seems really nice. He helped a lot in thinking about forgiving Troy. But its a good thing Alex and I didn't show our faces to each other. I don't think that should happen just yet. I walked back into my cabin quietly and fell asleep until 7:30.
I personally think this chapter was short! Ha-ha. I usually write about 12 pages? And like this one is about 9. Oh well. Ha-ha. So Alex seems really really nice. Wow.. Looks like she has 3 things going on.
