What's up everyone? Thank you SO much for all of your reviews…even though most of them were telling me how much I am hated (T.T) That's OK, though. I still LOVE all of you, even though you hate me. Ok, let's move on.

Disclaimer: I don't own HSM…but I am excited for HSM 2!! Woot!

"Oh crap." Gabriella said after she broke away from Ryan.

"What?" Ryan asked. "Did I do something wrong?"

"No…no you didn't do anything wrong." Gabriella tried to walk away, but Ryan grabbed her hand.

"What's wrong? Was it the kiss…because it seemed like you were leaning in, too. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pushed it."

"No, don't worry…it's nothing." Gabriella lied. She didn't want to make Ryan even more stressed out.

"Ok then." Ryan said. Gabriella gave him a smile, and they kept walking through the park. Gabriella expected things to be awkward between Ryan and her, but it wasn't. After a while, they decided to walk back to Gabriella's hotel room.

"Thanks for a fun night." Gabriella said. They were standing in front of her hotel room door.

"Hey, thanks for insisting on taking me out tonight." Ryan smiled. Gabriella laughed a little.

"You're quite welcome." Gabriella smiled too.

Chad and Taylor

"Thanks for taking me out again tonight, Chad." Taylor said. Chad and Taylor had just pulled into the hotel parking lot. Chad got out of the car, and opened the door for Taylor.

"You are very welcome."

"You must be getting sick of me by now." Taylor said.

"Taylor, I could never get enough of you." Chad said. Taylor smiled at Chad, and then pulled him in for a kiss.

"You're so sweet." Taylor said as they were walking through the hotel lobby.

"Yeah, I know…. that's what they all tell me." Chad said sarcastically. Taylor smacked Chad in the stomach.

"Yeah…right."

With Ryan and Gabriella

"So what's it like between you and Taylor after all of these years?"

"Oh, it's exactly the same. We're still best friends like before."

"That's great." Ryan said.

"Speaking of Taylor, I think she's out with Chad tonight…do you want to come in?"

"I'd love to, but I think I should head back to my hotel room. It's getting pretty late." Ryan said after looking at his watch.

"Ok. I'll see you tomorrow then!" Gabriella said.

"Seeya." Ryan said. He started walking down the hall, towards the elevator.

"Hey, wait!" Gabriella called after him.

"Yeah?" Ryan asked.

"I'll walk you to the elevators…just let me drop off my junk in my room."

"Oh, you don't have to…it's just down the hall."

"I want to."

"Ok…" Ryan said. Gabriella opened her door as fast as she could, then threw her purse into her room.

"Let's go." Gabriella said. They walked back down the hallway towards the elevator in silence. Once they got there, they stood in front of elevator doors for a few moments.

"Ok, I should go for real this time." Ryan said. Gabriella just looked at him, and didn't say anything. Ryan smiled at her, then he reached down to hold Gabriella's hand. This made Gabriella blushed a little on the inside. With his other hand, Ryan brushed a loose strand of hair out of Gabriella's face. He then slowly traced the outline of her ear with his finger. Gabriella blushed a little more in the inside. Ryan slowly leaned in to kiss Gabriella. She leaned in, too. Once again, their lips met in the middle. The kiss wasn't as soft as before, and it had even more passion. Gabriella ran her fingers through Ryan's hair, as Ryan caressed Gabriella's back.

With Chand and Taylor

Taylor and Chad had gotten in the elevator by now, and were on their way up to Gabriella's room. They were standing on opposite sides of the elevator.

"Hey…come here." Chad said.

"What for?" Taylor asked.

"Because I asked you to."

"Ok…" Taylor said. Chad opened his arms, and received Taylor in a tight hug. Taylor rested her head on his shoulder. They remained that way for the rest of the way up.

"This is nice." Chad said.

"I think so, too." Taylor said. Just then, the elevator doors opened. Chad and Taylor started to walk out of the elevator.

"Holy crap!" Taylor whispered. She pulled Chad back into the elevator as fast as she could, then began violently pushing one of the buttons to try and make the doors close.

"What was that about?" Chad asked when the doors finally closed.

"Did you see who was standing there when the doors opened?"

"No…it was just some random people making out."

"Oh my goodness…" Taylor said. She sat down on the ground, then rubbed her head.

"I still don't understand why you pulled me back into the elevator." Chad said.

"You didn't see who those people were, did you?"

"No, what's the big deal?" Chad said innocently.

"Um…it's nothing. I guess I just overreacted." Taylor lied. She didn't want to tell Chad that she saw Ryan and Gabriella kissing in front of the elevator.

"Do you want to go back up to Gabriella's room?" Chad said. He went and sat down next to Taylor.

"Um…I feel like getting some coffee. I think there's a coffee shop by the lobby."

"Ok." Chad got up off the ground, and pushed the 'lobby' button.

With Ryan and Gabriella

"Wow, Ryan," Gabriella said after breaking away from the kiss, "you are a really…good kisser." Gabriella was a little out of breath.

"Hey, I've been in 21 plays, 19 musicals, and 10 movies. And, I had stage kisses in almost all of them. Let's just say that I honed my 'kissing skills'."

"Huh…" Gabriella said.

"What?" Ryan asked.

"I honestly can't think up a come back for that one." Gabriella said while smiling, and shaking her head.

"Really? Wow…I feel special now." Ryan said mockingly.

"You feel special?" Gabriella asked.

"Yeah! I have defeated 'The Gabriella Montez'!" Ryan said excitedly.

"Wow."

"What?"

"You are really weird." Gabriella said sarcastically.

"Thank you!" Ryan said with equal sarcasm. Gabriella started laughing.

"You are quite welcome." Gabriella said through her laughter.

"Ok, I'm actually gonna go this time."

"Alright." Gabriella said reluctantly. They gave each other one more hug, and Gabriella gave Ryan a kiss on the cheek. After stepping on the elevator, Ryan gave Gabriella a wave. Gabriella responded with a smile, and watched the doors close. She let out a sigh, and walked back to her room. After a few minutes of relaxing on her bed, Gabriella was interrupted by a loud knock on her door. "Jeez…" Gabriella got up and answered the door.

"What the crap was that?!" Taylor said immediately after Gabriella opened the door.

"What the crap was what?" Gabriella said confusedly as she closed the door.

"That stunt you pulled!"

"What…me opening the door? I'm sorry my door opening skills didn't meet your standards. Would you like me to try again?"

"That wasn't what I was talking about!"

"What are you talking about, Taylor?"

"You know!" Taylor said angrily.

"Wow, could you be any more illusive?"

"I saw you and Ryan kissing!"

"You and Chad were in the park?"

"The park? No, I saw you kissing Ryan ten minutes ago in front of the elevators!"

"Did Chad see us kissing?" Gabriella said. She went and sat down on a chair.

"No. Luckily he's too dense to notice his surroundings."

"Good."

"Wait…what did you do with Ryan in the park?" Taylor followed Gabriella in the room, and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I may have possibly…kissed him…in the park"

"Gabriella! You can't do that!"

"Why not?"

"You know why that's wrong!"

"No, Taylor…why is it so wrong for me to kiss Ryan?"

"Because!" Taylor said. "You're with Troy." She said in a quieter voice.

"I'm not officially with Troy." Gabriella got up, and walked into the bathroom.

"Well, you better tell that to Troy, because he thinks you are!"

"No he doesn't."

"Gabriella…you're not this girl."

"What girl?

"The -It's Monday, so I'll be with Troy today, then Ryan tomorrow- girl. That's not you, Gabriella!"

"Why can't I?"

"What?" Taylor was confused.

"All throughout high school I was the freaky math girl. You know I was never popular. Boys were never attracted to me. Once in the ninth grade, Brett Mathews smiled at me. I thought he liked me, so I smiled back. But, it turned out he was just laughing at the spinach stick in my teeth. Troy was my one and only boyfriend, and look at how well that one lasted."

"Gabriella-"

"Taylor, it feels good being that girl. It feels good being wanted by more than just one boy. I like feeling like I'm popular."

"Gabriella, I wasn't popular either. I didn't even get a smile from Brett Mathews. I think I was an even bigger freaky math girl than you were. I still am! I'm like the super freaky math girl!"

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because you're better than all of this. I think it's sad you want to be the shallow girls that we made fun of back in high school. And, it would be different if you were dragging around two no name jerks off the street in this stupid game. But you are playing two very great guys that deserve a completely faithful girlfriend."

Gabriella couldn't think of anything else to say. She hadn't realized how she was acting before. She just changed into her pajamas, and went to bed. She stayed up for hours just thinking.

Ok…I know what you're thinking. "How could Gabriella be so shallow?" I know, I know…but don't worry it'll get better... I promise! Please don't abandon my story and me now!

Gah! I hate this chapter too!

Seeya! Please leave a review!
