Chances in this lifetime

Chapter 10

REDONE

Gabriella's POV

I pulled away from the kissed and smiled at Troy's face. "It will take a toll on you. Just like it is on me. I refuse to swim, now who said they were going to teach me?" I asked as I poked his nose and he opened his eyes.

"Wait, so you're allowed to sulk and not swim while I have to face the fact that my parents are dead?" Troy asked not really getting it.

"I'll make you a deal, I learn how to swim and you give into the fact that your real parents are dead and that they gave you life." I managed to say, how the hell was I going to learn how to swim? I might as well have a heart attack and die along with it.

I looked at Troy as he licked his lips and smiled at me. "Deal, but you learn tomorrow." He said smiling.

"Mmmm…ok, but I think my aunt wants me back before dawn so I better go." I said giving him a quick kiss on the lips and stood up. I turned to leave, but his hand gently took my hand.

"Are we an…item?" he asked unsure of kissing him twice in one night meant.

"Yes, we are." I said smiling and walking out of Troy's house. I closed my eyes and smiled inside of myself. This was the best night ever! I have to tell Rj (the fish) and Taylor. I opened my eyes and walked down the steps.

"Hey, you're the new girl, right?" I heard someone one ask. I turned around to see a blonde boy, maybe Troy's height.

"Yeah, Gabriella, you?" I asked as I shook his hand.

"Ryan, you might've heard about me, my sister is Troy's ex." He said pointing to Troy's house at the ex part.

"Oh yeah…I heard about their break-up." I said taking in the warm air.

"Yeah, Sharpay's totally pissed. Your walking this way right?" Ryan asking pointing my way. I nodded my head as we walked slowly.

"So, she's ok?" I asked.

"Pissed, but then again she was only using Troy to get this kid Zeke jealous, which totally worked. She would've broken up with him two days ago, but he beat her to it.

"Oh…well this is my house, I'll see you around Ryan."

"Bye." He said smiling at me. I gave a small bye and walked up the steps to my house. I opened the door and went up to my room where I closed the door and started talking to Rj.

"Ok, so I was thinking if I actually learned how to swim, imagine how many sea shells I can get. I can go swim with dolphins. I'm actually thinking of getting a job there tomorrow morning. But of course later on tomorrow I have to learn how to swim, how fun. Oh you could use a family in there, you look lonely." I said bending down and watching him swim around the shell I had in there.

"Good thing is read those e-mails." I said to myself as I just climbed into bed without taking off my day cloths.

"Gabriella wake up."

"Mmmmfmm." I groaned taking my pillow and hugging it.

"Gabriella, come on our interviews are in an hour." I heard Taylor groan.

"Rj can do it for m." I said waving her off.

"Who's Rj?" I heard Taylor ask.

"fish." I replied with my eyes slowly opening. I didn't want to wake up. I was just about to meet Corbin Bleu!

"You, you ruined my meeting with Corbin Bleu. He had a ring waiting and everything!" I yelled sitting up in my bed. I watched as Taylor fed Rj some fish food.

"Well, you can meet Corbin tonight, but right now you need to go shower. But wear something fun like shorts and tank top, these people love water people, plus I heard you and Troy got together." Taylor said wiggling her eyebrows.

"How?" I asked standing up and yawning. I wasn't fully awake yet. I scratched my head as I headed over to my closet.

"Chad found out last night. Geez Troy was like Gabi and I got together, he's like beaming!" Taylor said sitting down on my very, very messy bed.

"Well, we did have an interesting night." I said smiling to myself.

"Tell me, but first get ready. I'll make your bed and your aunt has a date tonight." Taylor said standing up.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"Oh I read the note on the counter. She also said congrats on you and Troy…troy's mom called her." Taylor said explaining my aunt's note…for me.

I was showered and dressed in twenty minutes. Taylor and I ran literally to the Aquarium where our hopefully new boss was waiting.

"And five minutes to spare." He said smiling. Taylor and I both smiled as we walked behind him breathing heavily.

"I thought we were in shape." Taylor groaned holding her stomach.

"I guess we're not." I groaned back, but in two minutes our breathing became normal and we walked outside behind our boss. There was one dolphin at the edge waiting to be fed was my guess.

"You girls will be in charge of a lot of things here. Of course we only have one employee working, her name is Heather and she's your age." He said to us. Taylor and I nodded our heads.

"There's a schedule for the feeding list. This right here is Lily; she's pregnant and should be giving birth any day now." he explained to us.

"Our chef who makes the food for the fish around here is named Carlos; he'll also be making your lunches, or you can got out and eat, but you must be back on time. You girls will be starting in two days." He said handing us sheets of paper and left us with Lily who was still waiting to be fed.

"Just like that?" I asked Taylor who also looked confused.

"I guess." She said bending down and touching Lilly.

"Think we should feed her?" Taylor asked me.

"No, I mean what if we give her the wrong food." I said.

"Hey, what are you two doing?" we heard a girl voice yell. She was in a read bikini walking towards us. She threw her sweater down on the ground by the doors and bending down next to Taylor.

"Oh, she's Taylor and I'm Gabriella." I said.

"Oh, you're the new employees'. I'm heather." She said smiling and shaking our hands. "Sorry, it's just with Lilly, being pregnant I get over protective. It's weird, but we are all excited for her to have the baby." Heather said.

"So is it just you who gives tours around this place?" Taylor asked

"Oh no, those are the people inside, we take care of the people who plan to swim with the dolphins and fish, but I'll be training you guys in two days." Heather said standing up.

"I got to go get Lilly's food, see you around." Heather said running through a door.

"Well, at least it pays well." Taylor said standing up and looking at the pay.

"Yeah, come on I have my lessons in an hour!" I said.

"Oh, you just want to go, because of Troy." Taylor said making googley eyes.

"Well Chad's going to be there." I mimicked her. We both laughed and made our ways to my house where Taylor left extra cloths there. We got dressed for swimming and just pulled on some shorts and a shirt. I quickly wrote a letter to my Aunt explain thank you and I got the job and started in two days. I also told her that I would be out with some friends, just in the market and what not.

I was excited I was actually going to swim!
