Back at the table Liza and Amber were gabbling.
,,Did you see that?!"
,,Yes! How could he? Violet and green; That's like milk mixed with orange juice!"
,,And sherbet powder on top of it!...It's just…just…there isn't even a word for something like that."
The two girls kept talking, but Gabriella wasn't listening to them. The young brunette sat there and started to think. She thought of her family; Oh, how much she missed them. Her friends back in Albuquerque. That boy she had just met. ,,How was he called again?...Dave, right!" Gabriella was deep in thoughts as all at one…
,,Gabriella are you coming?", Liza wanted to know.
,,What?" Gabriella was a bit confused.
,,We want to go. There's a department store down the street."
,,And since you've got a date tomorrow, Liza and I thought you may want to buy a new outfit."
,,Umm…I…", Gabriella was totally speechless.
,,Oh come on! It will be great fun!", Amber tried to convince her new friend.
,,But…I…I can't…I mean…I've just…what about…I…well…I…"
,,Please?", Liza said begging.
Gabriella sighed quietly and indulged:,, Fine, if you like."
Liza and Amber hugged her tightly after she had stood up. They told her thank you, paid at the bar and left for "John Lewis".
Minutes later
They had just arrived and Gabriella was stunned. It was huge! And Gabriella was excited...it'd be her first time going shopping in England!
,,Do you like it?", Liza asked friendly.
,,Do I like it? I love it!"
,,You do?", Liza questioned a bit surprised.
,,Of course!", Gabriella answered.
,,If so, you are going to love it even more after you have been inside!", Amber established.
,,Amber is right!",Liza said, ,,Let's go inside!"
Without wasting any more words the three girls hurried inside the mall. They went into many stores and looked for the perfect outfit Gabriella could wear in the next day's evening. Gabriella was trying clothes on almost the whole time. Amber and Liza gave her every dress, skirt, etc. they thought she might look good in.
Meanwhile in one of the fitting rooms
Gabriella was wearing a crystal blue dress which ended a bit over her knees. It got fine straps a beautiful rapon along its neckline. She was standing in front of the fitting room's mirror and looked at herself.
,,Mmh. Not half bad", she muttered, ,, Nice style and the color…"
,,Blue suits you! It makes your eyes gleam!" She could hear his so voice clearly. As if he was standing right next to her.
Gabriella smiled. He always used to say that. He. Her first love. Troy Bolton.
She then started to think…
