Previously on A Simple IM:
The group cleaned up and went their separate ways.
"Wait Gabriella, I'll see you tonight. Right?" Troy asked smiling.
"Yes you will." Gabriella responded giving Troy an awarding smile.
After School (3:15)
Gabriella and Taylor were on their way towards their houses. After the big Decathlon win, Gabriella and Taylor became really close. Every day they would walk home together. Taylor lived only two blocks down from Gabriella's house. They would usually walk to Gabriella's house. Taylor's mom passes by Gabriella's house on her way home. So they came up with the whole idea for Taylor to stay at the Montez household until Ms. McKessie comes to pick Taylor up after work. It was a win, win situation. Ms. McKessie didn't have to worry about Taylor, plus Taylor was happy to be with her best friend. The walk home was pretty quiet. They would talk every couple of minutes of silence.
"Okay, Gabi confession time. What is going on with you?" Taylor asked, pulling Gabriella to a halt.
"What?" Gabriella responded , having no idea what this was about.
"Don't play dumb with me."
"Seriously Taylor, what are you talking about? "
"Hmmm… Let's see. Ever since Monday you and Troy have been all lovey-dovey. I just want to know what's going on between my two best friend." Taylor said, sounding a bit sad at the last sentence.
"Okay, I'll tell you. You can't tell anyone though, got it?" Gabriella asked. Then Taylor nodded so she continued. "Troy asked me out on Monday!"
Taylor squealed. "I knew he liked you!" she exclaimed.
"Yeah, he was so cute when he asked." Gabriella said as they began walking again. As they entered the Montez household Gabriella told Taylor about the events that happened during lunch period on Monday.
"So what time is he picking you up?" Taylor asked as they were watching TV in Gabriella's room.
"Ummmm… 7'o clock. Why?"
"Gabriella, it's……..5:30." Taylor said looking at her watch.
"Oh. My. Gosh. I have less than 2 hours to get ready! I still need to take a shower. Then I need to pick out an outfit. And I ran out of eye liner and mascara. Then…." Gabriella exclaimed panicking. She began pacing back and forth in her room.
"Gabi? Gabi?" Taylor said trying to get her attention. Gabriella being so nervous didn't hear her until Taylor yelled, "GABRIELLA ISABELLA MONTEZ!!!".
Gabriella froze in her spot and turned to Taylor.
"Okay now that I have your attention, I'll tell you my plan." Taylor said waiting for Gabriella to respond. Gabriella gave a small nod then Taylor continued, "Take a shower now. While you are in there I'll set out 3 different outfits for you to chose from. Then I'll run down to the nearest drugstore and get you some makeup. By the time I get back you should be down and dressed. We'll do your hair and then you'll be ready for a fun evening. Then tomorrow I'll sleepover and you can give me all the details."
Gabriella let out a small laugh at Taylor's last remark. Gabriella grabbed a towel and her portable speakers and Ipod before running to the bathroom. She said "I'm so glad you my friend," before leaving. Taylor smiled in response.
Taylor relaxed a bit after she heard the shower turn own and went to Gabriella's closet. "Hmmm…What to pick?" Taylor thought as she searched Gabriella's closet. After a long process she decided on three outfits.
One was a white tank top that had a white ribbon under the bust, a light green skirt with white butterflies on it that fell two inches above the knees and had ruffles and to complete the look ,simple white 1 inch heels (casual and cute).
Outfit number two was a black, haltered dress with white flower embroidery and black 2 inch heels and a black shawl (elegant and beautiful).
The final outfit was a tight brown halter with a handkerchief skirt that had an abstract brown and aqua pattern and a pair of strappy brown 2 inch heels. (fun and flirty).
Just as Taylor was about to go to the drugstore, she remembered she brought her makeup bag with her to school. Taylor retrieved the bag and went back u to Gabriella's room. She laid all of the makeup in front of Gabriella's vanity mirror. As she waited for Gabriella she got out everything she thought she would need for Gabriella's hair. She was prepared so she went back to watching TV.
6:15 p.m.
"Okay, so what do you have for me?" Gabriella questioned as she entered her bedroom in a bathrobe and dripping wet hair.
Taylor jumped a bit because she was startled then shook it off. "Well, come with me and you shall see." she responded. Taylor walked Gabriella to the side of her bed and explained the three different outfits.
"Well, I love them all. Troy said that I should were something nice so that rules out something nice. As much as the second one is beautiful I think it's a little over the top. I pick the last one." Gabriella said as she studied the outfits. After she made her decision she went back to the bathroom to change.
"Gabi, you look amazing!" Taylor exclaimed when Gabriella entered the room.
It was true Gabriella really did look amazing. The outfit was sexy but, elegant and it showed off Gabriella's figure perfectly.
"You think so?" Gabriella questioned as she looked in her full length mirror.
"I know so. Now come over here," Taylor said as she pulled a chair for Gabriella to sit in in front of the vanity mirror. Gabriella obeyed and sat down. Taylor first applied foundation, then blush. After a few minutes she finally decided on brown and gold eye shadow and red/pink lip gloss. To complete the look Taylor added black eyeliner all around the eye and two coats of black mascara.
"Wow! Taylor you did an amazing job! Thank you!" Gabriella exclaimed as she looked at herself in the mirror.
"Hey, don't thank me yet. I still need to do your hair. Now sit still."
Gabriella obeyed and watched what Taylor was doing to her hair. Taylor put Gabriella's hair up to a high pony tail and let loose curls in the front. She then pinned some of the curls in the back just so it looks more elegant. As soon as Taylor finished Gabriella got up to hug her best friend.
"Thank you so much Taylor! I don't know what I would do without you." She said as she hugged Taylor.
"Gabi, it was my pleasure. Now it's…6:50" Taylor said as she glanced at her watch.
RING
Gabriella answered the phone. It was her mom. Ms. Montez went on a business trip on Thursday and was suppose to return at 10 p.m. today. Gabriella listened to what her mom said and said goodbye.
"Mom?" Taylor asked. Gabriella nodded. "What did she say?"
"She said she won't be home till tomorrow evening." Gabriella said frowning. Her frown was turned upside down all of a sudden and said, "She also said that she talked to your mom and your staying the night!" The girls started jumping up and down but stopped when they heard the doorbell.
"I'll go get that!" Taylor said as Gabriella straitened her self up and grabbed a brown shawl just incase it was cold. Then she made her way downstairs.
Outside the Montez house 7:00 p.m.
Troy rang the doorbell nervous about his date. He was wearing something very similar to what he wore when he first Gabriella. He rang the doorbell and turned around, so his back was facing the door. Troy turned around and expected to see Ms. Montez.
"Hi I'm Troy Bolton! It's very nice to see you again Ms. ….Taylor?" Troy said realizing he was talking to Taylor.
"Hey Troy! Ready for your date?" Taylor asked as she ushered Troy into the house.
"Yeah. I'm just a bit nervous. Taylor, if you don't mind me asking, why are you here?" troy asked confused.
Taylor explained how Ms. Montez is away on business and all that jazz. Gabriella was at the bottom of the stairs by the time Taylor finished. Gabriella turned around and acknowledged her presence.
"WOW! Gabi you look gorgeous." Troy exclaimed. "Not that you don't always, it's just that. Umm. Tonight.." Troy began rambling.
Gabriella cut in ,"Troy I know what you mean and thank you." she said smiling.
"Well are you ready?" Troy asked.
She nodded and said goodnight to Taylor. Troy led Gabriella to his car and opened the door for her.
"Let the date begin." Troy said as he backed out of the drive way.
A/N: Okay so the next chapter is the date for sure now. I was gonna make the date now but it would be rushing plus I wanted Taylor to be in it. So Ch. 6 will be posted tomorrow I promise. I'm gonna divide the date cause I kno it will be long. So u get 2 chapters tomorrow.
