Actually this story is going better than I expected. Because at first it was like the plot of Parent Trap but as I started to write I figured out its nothing like that actually. Anyway here's the next chapter. Troy and Gabriella will FINALLY meet together after 12 long years in this chapter. But they haven't got together yet.
Recap"What?" I asked. "Even though I've known you for only one day and almost one whole period I know you perfectly. Something's up. Tell me." She demanded. I didn't want to lie to her. That would just jeopardize (is that the right spelling?) my first friend here at high school. "Promise you won't get mad?" I started. Her eyes soften at me. "Well it actually depends what it is." She explained. I let out a sigh. "Adriana..."
End Recap
Chapter Two
Twelve-Year Secret
"Adriana you have like instantly became my best friend." I said not making any eye contact with her. "You know that's really great. But I need you to get to the point." She commanded. Boy was she bossy. "I just want you to know you will always be my best friend. But for some reason Sharpay or 'mother' she says she doesn't me to be friends with you." I explained. Her eyes widened. "I don't believe it." She complained. I felt guilty for some odd reason. "I'm sorry. I really don't know what had come over her. Usually I never do." I assured her.
"Don't worry about that. What's weird that's the same exact thing Ryan said." She said to me. Then I started to think. All of this couldn't just be a coincidence. "Look Audrina, this can't all be a coincidence. The same last name and the same reaction. Something is wrong here. I don't know what but something is really wrong here." She started to explain to me. Probably our school 'twin' ways were starting to work because she was thinking the same exact thing I was thinking. "You know, I think your right. Something is up." I agreed with her. Whatever it was, we were going to get to the bottom of it.
NEXT WEEK ADRIANA'S POV
As more days past by Audrina and me became even bigger best friends. "You know maybe I should paint my room blue. And not just blue, NIMBLE blue." Audrina said out of nowhere. "Depends what your room looks like." I answered feeding the conversation. "Why don't you come over and help me decide?" She offered. I was about to say yes when I remembered my mom. She wouldn't let me go anywhere unless she knew that person's parent. "I would but my mom has to know your parents. She's so overprotective over me." I replied sadly. Audrina stood there thinking for some time. "Why don't you bring you mom with you?" She let the idea air. I thought about it for a minute. It couldn't be a bad idea. "That's not a bad idea. I'll ask her." I said as the bell rang.
AT HOME
"Hi mom." I said as we did our daily routine. I'd drop my backpack on the floor then my mom would nag me to pick it up and I'll walk back to the door and place it near the door. "You look happy today. What happened?" My mom asked as if I had some juicy gossip. "Well you know how I told you about Adriana? She sort of invited me to her house this weekend. She wants to meet you." I explained.
"Adriana…I don't know. This weekend Ryan's going to be working." My mom said. I knew she was making up excuses. "Please! Puh-lease? Beside Ryan…. or 'dad' doesn't need to go. Please?" I begged. My mom started to tap her nails on the counter. I knew that meant she was thinking. "Fine. I guess it won't kill me." My mom said as she finally gave in. (A/N: Gee, Gabriella it might actually.)
I knew my luck wouldn't stay perfect. "Hey Gabi. Hello…child." Ryan said as he walked past me. Like usually I said what I wanted, "Greeting man." I said. As if it was his routine he walked towards my mother and kissed her gently. "Eww." I whispered. I wasn't so sure how I lived with him for 14 years of my life.
AT HOME AUDRINA'S POV
I slowly opened the door hoping not to see Sharpay. Apparently someone heard me. "Hi daddy. Where's … 'mom'?' I asked. Like I said I never liked calling her mom. As long as it was quoted it wasn't exactly like calling her mom. "She's shopping." My dad said as he rolled his eyes. Here's my chance I thought. "Hey, would it be okay if I invited one of my friends over this weekend?" I asked. Without looking at me he replied," Sure. Who is it?" And this is where my problem would begin. I knew something was up with my dad and the last name 'Montez'. "Adriana…. Montez." I hesitated to say the last word. He looked up at me. "Look Audrina I- Oh daddy please? She's became my best friend and I really want you to meet her." I interrupted.
He couldn't say no to me. Could he?
"I guess so." He finally said. "Thanks. I promise you won't regret it." I told him. But as always SOMEONE always had to not mind her own business. . "What is she thanking you for, Troy?" Sharpay asked as she walked into the kitchen with her hands full with bags. "Nothing. Just homework." I answered for him. She walked past me and went towards my dad. "I'm sorry Troy but this weekend they are having this really big sale at the mall and I absolutely HAVE to be there. So I won't be here Saturday." She told him. This was perfect. My plan would go perfect.
"Well that's okay. Audrina is- I and dad are going to spend some father daughter time." I quickly answered for him. He shot me a confused look. If Sharpay knew about my plan she would leave the sale and ask one of her 'friends' to go to the sale. "Okay then. As long as you're okay." She said again ignoring me.
NEXT WEEK
The week passed by so slow. But today was Saturday so Adriana would finally meet my dad. First I just wanted to figure out why he had a problem with the name 'Montez'. But I wouldn't figure that out here though. I tried to wait patiently for her but I wasn't the patient type. "Would you calm down already? You act like this is your first time meeting your friend." He explained to me. I paced some more. "Daddy, can we go outside to see if they are out there?" I asked. "If it'll help you stop pacing." He suggested.
When we got outside I finally saw her car pulling up. "Yay." I said as I ran to hug her. Her mom was pretty. Actually in a way she looks like me…. "Hi. I'm Adriana's mother. Gabriella Montez." She introduced. I shook her hand lightly. "Now I want you to meet my dad." I said as she followed me towards him. When they got close she stopped.
"Troy." She said under her breath. Either she said his name or I was hearing things. "Gabriella." That one I was pretty sure my dad said. I looked over at Adriana who seemed to notice it too. "Hey Gabriella." He said. How does he know her? I thought. "Hi Troy." She answered back. I was definitely sensing some type of connection between her mom and my dad. "Want to come in?" He asked. She nodded quietly as she followed behind him. Adriana and I followed.
As my dad and Adriana's mom went into the living room we headed upstairs. "You should DEFINETLY paint your room nimble blue." She said remembering the conversation from earlier this week. "Probably by this summer I will." I said as I watched her look around my room. "I'm going downstairs to get something to drink. Do you want anything?" I asked her. She didn't really answer but she followed me anyway. But I stopped halfway. "What the- Shh! Listen." I told her. Today I was really into interrupting people. "Are you spying on our parents?" She asked. I rolled my eyes at her. "Don't say it like that. I don't call it spying. I call it learning vital information." I rephrased her words. "Just be quiet." I told her.
GABRIELLA'S POV
"So, have you told Audrina yet?" I asked Troy. After a few minutes after I came in Troy and I started talking. It wasn't like old times but it was still talking. "No. If I did she might want to go looking for her. I wanted to avoid that. Have you?" He asked. I shook my head no. "It's really hard to believe they've met after 12 years. Now it would be easier to explain to them that they are twins." I explained as I let out a sigh. "Are you serious?" I heard two voices. The girls' cam rushing down the stairs. I knew eventually I would have to face this. "Mom please tell me you're kidding?" Adriana asked me. "I wish I could but no. She's your twin." I said flatly. "And you kept this from me for 12 years?" She kept asking questions.
I nodded. "Daddy…. Daddy…. Are you serious? She's my twin?" Audrina said pointing to Adriana. "Yeah." Troy answered shortly. (A/N: What an interesting way to meet your twin) "See I knew Ryan couldn't be my dad! He's nothing like me." Adriana explained. "Yeah and Sharpay isn't my mom! I knew it." Audrina said to Troy. The twins took a seat on the sofa. "How-How come you guys broke up?" Audrina was the first to speak up. "Well it's all due to one letter. One letter someone wrote to me." I said emphasizing someone. "Gabriella, I never wrote a letter to you." Troy said defending himself. "If you didn't then who did?" I asked. We were completely unaware the girls were still in the room. "Sharpay." He murmured. "So because of a letter that Sharpay wrote you guys aren't together?" Adriana asked. Troy nodded his head.
"Well it was great to meet with you Troy. But I must get going. Come on Adriana." I said. She looked reluctant. "Come on mom! Can't I stay? Why can't you come back tomorrow? It's Saturday." Adriana begged. I looked at the girls then at Troy. They all had that sad look on their face. "Oh I guess so." I gave in.
What's going to happen at the twins' sleepover?
This chapter was a little rushed but it's still okay. My favorite chapter is the next one. Let me give you a hint. It has to do with a letter and Sharpay. That's all! REVIEW!
