Disclaimer: I just own the story

A/N: I've only gotten three people who told me what story they would like me to do next. Come on guys I need more than that and I know that there's more than those three people that read this story. I'm not asking for much I just want you guys to tell me which story in my profile would you like me to do next. The one with the highest votes goes next followed by the one with the second highest then the third. You only have two more chapters to do so, so let's get a move on. Just PM me that's all I'm asking.

1. Italics -dreams or short flashbacks. (All in Gabi's POV)

2. Regular font -Long flashbacks and regular POV(a.k.a Gabi's POV)

3. Long lines -the beginning and end of a long flashback unless noted

4. If a chapter ends with a flashback, the next chapter will begin in the flashback.

Taking Over Me

I hadn't seen Alex for the entire first half of the day. It was weird since we usually passed each other in the hallway but my guess is that he was rushing. At lunch Taylor was at her tricks again, trying to get me to hook up with some random guy.

"Come on Gabriella one of these guys has to be good for you." she said with an exasperated sigh.

"Tay I'm not going to date someone I don't know."

"No you don't want to date someone you don't know."

"Exactly."

"You need to get over Troy. You'll find someone else."

"I don't want someone else."

"You need to move on Gabriella." I sighed and just as I thought all hope was lost, I spotted Alex walking to a table on the other side of the cafeteria.

"Look Tay I'll talk to you later." I said and got up. I threw out my food and walked over to where Alex sat. "Hey Alex." I said and he smiled up at me.

"Hey. What's up?"

"Well..."

"Uh oh what happened?" I took a seat beside him and took a deep breath.

"You know how my mom thinks that you're my boyfriend?"

"Yeah." he said slowly, unsure of where this was going.

"Well...my mom wants you over for dinner." he nodded and looked down at his tray.

"And..."

"And what?"

"I know there's an 'and' coming along."

"And I was wondering if...youwouldpretendtobemyboyfriend." I said, saying my point quickly.

"What was that last part? I didn't quite catch that."

"Will you pretend to be my boyfriend?" I said slowly. "Just until after prom." he sighed but nodded. I squealed and hugged him. "Oh thank you. Thank you. You don't know how much mother/daughter bonding time I can get out of now."

"Is that all I am to you? Something to be used?" he asked with a smirk.

"Sadly yes. For now at least." he chuckled and shook his head.

"So what time is this dinner?"

"You know I have no clue." I said with a giggle. "I'll ask my mom and I'll tell you tomorrow." he nodded and looked at his food.

"So as your 'boyfriend' do I get any special privileges?" I rose an eye brow at him and crossed my arms.

"Is that a suggestion Mr. Miller?"

"Maybe." he said, a twinkle sparkling in his sea green eyes. "But seriously anything?"

"Not that I can think of."

"Damn."

"Well there is the whole picking me up, dropping me off, walking me to class and such."

"That I can do." I smiled and nodded.

"Okay then. Well I have to go to the library so I'll see you later...boyfriend."

"Bye...girlfriend." I giggled and left the table. Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad after all.

The end of the school day came faster than expected. I ran quickly to my locker only to find that Alex was already there. He smiled at me as I walked up to him.

"Hey Alex."

"Hey."

"How did you get here so fast?"

"My last period was a study period."

"Oh."

"So are you ready for me to take you home...girlfriend?" I giggled and nodded.

"Just let me pack first." he nodded and I opened my locker. It took me two seconds before I was ready. "Okay I'm ready."

"That was fast." I smiled and he returned it. "Come on." I followed him out of the school and to his car. He opened the door for me and I thanked him. Even though he was my pretend boyfriend, it felt good to have someone there for me.

The drive to my house was silent but not awkward. It was a good thing but I was still nervous about this whole thing. I hated using people and even though Alex was okay with it, I still felt uneven about it.

"Are you really okay with lying to people especially my mom?" I asked and he smirked.

"Yes Gabriella I'm sure. I mean I would want you to do the same for me so why not." I looked at him with a grin.

We pulled up to my house a few minutes later and I sighed. I looked over at him and gave him a small smile.

"Thanks Alex."

"It's nothing. Just remember to tell me tomorrow when the dinner is." I nodded and got out of the car. I walked up to my front door before turning around and waving at him. He waved back and I went inside.

It was almost an hour later when my mother came home. I quickly ran down the stairs and into the kitchen where I knew she would be.

"Mom"

"Yes?"

"When and what time is the dinner?"

"Tomorrow at seven thirty."

"T-Tomorrow?"

"Yea. You have a problem with that?"

"No it's just that...it's so soon. But it's okay." I walked back up to my room, thanking God that I asked Alex today and not tomorrow.
