Chapter Thirteen

It has been one month since Seth and I started dating. Well, not really dating, but you know what I mean. Troy has been behaving so strange. It's problably because Cassandra pushed her dress fitting up so that it's tomorrow. All the guys have to go in for their fitting a few days from the wedding. Personally, I'm not looking forward to any of it. I don't want to be apart of this wedding anymore. Even if it is for my best friend. The truth is, I've been falling for him harder and harder. I've grown repulsed at the thought of him and Cassandra even staring at each other. I'm going out of my mind and my friends haven't helped much. Sure, Chad seemed to forget what he heard me say, but that doesn't mean Tay has. She and Shar are always around. Picking out my clothes, doing my hair. Anything they can to get Troy's attention. It's been working, and I'm greatful for it. I just don't want it all the time...

"Brie, are you okay?" Seth asked me in a sweet tone. He took my hand in his and stroked my knuckles with his thumb. Don't get too hyped up, we're at dinner with Troy and Cassandra. It's all for show. I nodded my head as he kissed my hand.

"Just a little tired. I was up late last night looking for a house." I explained. It was the truth. I'm still moving and since I had nothing better to do, I googled some realinters.

"Gabi, you have a long time before you actually have to go." Troy said. He looked at me with sad eyes. It's become a regular thing now. He's not too happy about it anymore.

"It's something I don't want to leave until the last minute." I laughed slightly. I'd rather leave it for an eternity. Seth kissed me softly on the lips. I glanced over at Troy, only to see that he wasn't looking at us.

"The dress fitting is tomorrow." Cassandra squeaked. Yes, I am now calling her voice squeaky. Not that it actually is, but I needed something else other than 'carrot-top'. "Aren't you excited, Gabi?" Gabi?! Gabi?! It's Gabriella to you!

"...yeah." My eyes looked everywhere but hers. They locked with Troy's and he gave me an amused face. His eyes were smiling. I felt a grin forming on my face. Those were the eyes that I could get lost in for days.

"Cassie, Gabi doesn't really like for anyone to call her by her nickname unless they're friends." Hehe, I don't think Troy realizes what he just said...wait for it...wait for it..."Oh sh-that came out wrong!" BINGO! Cassandra has this blank look on her face. It's hilarious! Seth nudged my side and I yeled in surprise.

"Babe, you scared me..." I cooed. Troy instanly forgot ole' carrot-top and snapped his head over to us.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I can't wait to be all alone with you again." He bit the strap of my dress and tugged on it with his mouth. I gave a giggle. Out of the sky, a breadstick flew down my dress. A breadstick with hot marainara sauce! I jumped apart from Seth and patted my shirt. Seth and I both looked up to see Troy whisling innocently and looking around. It was so him, and he is so done for.

"Troy...what...the..hell?" I asked, my voice dangeruosly low.

"Moi? I have no clue what you're talking about."

"That's a bunch of salted bologna! You just launed a breadstick down my dress. A heated breakstick!"

"No, I think it was cold actually. It was the sauce that made it hot." Oh, so now he's go jokes!

"This is not the time!" I shouted at him. I snatched my purse up from the table and stalked off into the bathroom. On my way, I could hear Troy's snickering. I pushed through the door and wet a paper towel. Not long after I came in, Cassandra did too.

"Gabriella, I can't believe he did that." Great, she's doing something to make me like her.

"It's fine."

"I don't know why he's getting so jealous. I mean, it's just you." Say what?!

"Excuse me?" I said as I dropped the dirty towel in the trash and grabbed another. Cassandra focused her attenion on herself in the mirror.

"You're only his friend and he's marrying me. He shouldn't be getting jealous over you." She took a step closer to me and looked me in the eyes. "So whatever it is that's making you stand out, better stop. You had your chance with Troy, so let me be happy." Did I mention how much of a b-witch she is? I watched as she exited the bathroom. I scrubbed a bit more before heading out. Troy now owes me a new dress. I ignored him for the remainder of the night and Seth and I left together as planned. Troy wasn't happy and by the looks of it, neither was Cassandra. I didn't care much about her. It appeared that the plan was wroking, and that's what counted...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What do you think about this one?" Cassandra came out of the changing room with a white regal dress on. It was pretty, I'll admit that, but she looked more like a bridesmate than a bride.

"Oh it's gorgeous! You totally have to get this one!" Her maid of honor Megan gushed. Out of all 12 dresses she tried on, she never asked for my opion. I'm glad. If she did she wouldn't be to happy.

"I think we have a winner." Carrot-top squeaked. I stifled a laugh before picking up the baby blue dress she picked out for us. I planned on wearing a different dress. I have to match Troy since I'll be standing with him. "Okay, we're all going to go out to eat! My treat." I'm guessing thay doesn't include me since she totally didn't notice that I was already out of the store. I left the dres there. It's too...her. I'll go shopping for another one later.

Lately,

I've been thinking 'bout you

Going crazy

Can't go on without in my life, it's true

Whatcha wanna do?

You could be my boyfriend,

I can be your girlfriend

Speaking of Troy, that's him on the calling now. Yes, I know the ringtone is blunt. I did it purposely.

"Hey Butthead." I answered the phone. I heard Troy laugh before he actually said something back.

"Is that how you greet your best friend?" I giggled at his playfulness. It was the only thing that could really make me smile. One of the reason's I'm so smitten with him.

"I'm sorry. How are you, Troy?"

"Fine. How'd the fitting go?"

"Good, she found a dress." I told him.

"Well yeah, that was kinda the point. How'd everything go with you? Did you find anything?" I'm mighty glad you asked! Troy won't be mad I put the dress back.

"No, there was nothing that was me."

"Well, maybe we can go shopping for your dress together..."

"Just the two of us?" I asked, hopeful before he said anything else.

"Yeah. We have to put in some extra hours together since you're moving." There he goes with the subjetc.

"Troy..."

"I know, I know. The topic has been dropped."

"Good. I don't want to think about it anymore than I have to. You shoudn't either. Your wedding is coming up and this will only depress you." I'm lying too much right now. I want him to think about it. I want him to feel guilty about ever asking for me to leave. I want him to beg me to stay.

"I promise I won't think about it as much." It's a start. "So...you and Seth. You guys serious?" Another topic I wish to avoid. It's not gonna happen though. I've already skipped one.

"Well yeah. It was like we picked up right where we left off. I like it." Just in case anyone was wondering, this is four years of high school Drama Club with Sharpay I'm acting on. It's not a lot, but hopefully Troy can buy it.

"Just...don't get too attached, okay?" His voice was soft and sincere. My heart skipped a beat. He just sounded so sweet.

"Troy..."

"No, I'm serious Gabriella." I winced. That was a sign that he was completely serious. "I really don't want you to get hurt. If Seth is who you think you'll be with for a long time, then fine. I just don't want you to end up hurt."

"I promise that I won't come out of our relationship crying."

"Awesome...I'm hungry. Wanna go get some lunch?" He asked. I laughed. Typical Troy to want to eat after a phone conversation.

"Sure, I'm right but Penny's Pizzaria(fake!)."

"Cool, I'll be there in a bit. Bye." The dial tone sounded as I hung up also. I sighed. Things are only going to get more hetic from here. There's four months till the wedding.

What am I going to do until then?
