I'm Sorry

Chapter 1 To The Restaurant ... Again

'Gabi ' It was Friday morning and Gabriella Montez woke up to the sound of her boyfriend Trevor of 4 months whispering her name . 'Mmmm five more minutes' She mumbled turning over with her back to him. 'Come on Gabs' He tried again, this time leaving a trail of kisses down her neck 'Mmmmm ok baby I'm awake' She told him as she turned around and brought his lips down to hers. 'Morning babe' Trevor said with a big smile on his face, Gabriella smiled back at him as she replied 'Good morning.'

'So what's the plan for today?' She asked as she snuggled into his chest. He leant down and kissed the top of her head, but before he answered he sighed 'I'm sorry babe but I've gotta go to the restaurant today something about a new menu, what are you doing anyways?' 'Don't worry about it I know how important the restaurant is to you and Troy's coming home this evening anyway and he wanted to hangout this weekend because he's been away for ages.' Gabi said with a huge smile plastered on her face 'You don't mind do you?' she asked pulling away from him, a little bit worried of his reaction. 'Of course I don't mind I'm a little bit jealous that my gorgeous girlfriend won't be spending the weekend with me' he laughed 'But Troy's your best friend and not gonna stop you spending time with him am I?' 'Thank you I knew there was a reason that I loved you' she joked. 'Good and I love you too but I better get home and change before I head for the restaurant' she looked over at the clock that was sitting on the bed side table and it read 7:34 'Can't you stay a bit longer' she asked with a pout on her face. 'I suppose it wouldn't matter if I was a little late considering that I own the place' he laughed as he planted kisses down her body starting on her forehead then her cheeks until he reached her lips. 'Mmmm' Gabi mumbled into the kiss as he moved his lips from hers onto her neck and just as he began gently sucking her skin Trevor's phone rang indicating that someone had sent him as message. 'Urgh we do I sense you have to leave?' Gabi asked with a loud sigh.

'Because I do? I'm sorry babe that was Jake you know the head chef?' he paused as Gabi nodded 'Well he said he wants me at the restaurant ASAP.' He got up out of her bed and started to look for his clothes. Grabbing his jeans and shirt that were on the cream chair situated in the corner of the room he slipped them on and made his way back over to Gabi giving her a kiss on the top of her head. Feeling the cold wind catching her arms she pulled the sheet up around higher and started rubbing her arms. 'Do you want me to shut the window on my way out Gab?' he asked noticing that she was rubbing her arms. 'No I'll be alright thanks I'll have a nice, hot bath now to warm me up.' She answered with a slight smile on her face. 'If your sure right I won't call tonight since Troy'll be back and you've got catching up to do so I'll call you tomorrow and I'll probably come see you on Tuesday sound ok?' 'Yep sounds good but before you go you forgot something.' She said with a mischiveous smile as she pouted holding her lips together. Trevor instantly understood as he walked back over to Gabi and gave her a quick kiss on the lips and a hug before shuffling towards the door once again. 'Bye baby I'll call you tomorrow Love you' Trevor called as he reached and opened the front door 'Bye babe Love you too.' she shouted back but it was too late as he'd already shut the door with a loud bang. Gabi whinced at the noise and shivered from the wind so she padded across the soft cream carpet to the bathroom and started running herself a hot bath with lots of bubbles to warm herself back up.

After she had gotten fresh towels out of the cupboard and clean clothes ready to change into she went to check on the bath water. She decided that it was full enough. She stripped off all her clothes and climbed into the tub enjoying the feeling of the warmth against her petite body. Once the water started to cool down and she decided she had been in there long enough she massaged the strawberry smelling shampoo into her head and proceded to wash her hair. As soon as she had rinsed the shampoo out she massaged the - also strawberry smelling - conditioner into her hair and once again rinsed it out. When she was finished she stood up and wrapped the large white fluffy towel around her body several times, pulled the bath plug out and watched the water disappear.

She started walking back to her bedroom when the sound of her cell phone could be heard ringing in the distance. She quickly glanced at the clock which read 10.04 and guessed that it was more than likely it was either Taylor or Sharpay on the phone. As she could finally hear the ringtone which was 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' she realised that it was Shar phoning her. As soon she reached her room she started searching for her phone thinking where she could have putten it. Feeling frustrated when she finally remembered where it was but the phone stopped ringing. After counting to 5 in her head the phone started ringing again laughing to herself as she picked up the phone that was located on her beside table and put it on speaker so she could continue getting dressed.

'Hey Shar'

'Hey girl where've you been I tried ringing you but it went straight to voicemail?' Sharpay asked worrying herself even more.

'Oh yeah I was having a long hot bath and kinda didn't get to the phone quicker enough' she laughed at herself 'Am I on speaker Shar?'

'Oh yeah Tay's here too are you ok you sound stressed out?'

'Hey Tay no I'm fine now Trevor had to leave early again to go to the restaurant so I was a bit bummed about that but all's good now' she said trying to sound happy about it.

'Hey Gab isn't that like every time he's over? Are you ok now you sound like you need some cheering up?' Taylor asked her one of her best friends.

'No honest I'm fine now anyways Troy's coming home today I wouldn't have thought you would never forgotten that lover boy's home tonight Tay?' she said with a smirk on her face she loved teasing Taylor about her feelings for Chad.

'Ha busted Tay' Gabriella heard Sharpay laughing in the background.

'I don't know what your laughing at future Mrs Zeke Baylor' now it was Taylor's turn to laugh out loud.

'Anyways' she said trying to change the subject before she said something she would regret later 'the reason we were calling is ask you to come shopping with us it's never the same with only two of the amigas' Sharpay laughed. 'Please, please, please' Sharpay begged 'If you do we'll stop calling you Gabriella Bolton'

'Ok but when do you do that anyway' Gabriella asked totally confused.

'Oops don't worry about that then great we'll come get you in an hour ok?' Shar said happy that she got her own way also trying to hide the fact that she slipped up.

'Yeah see you then Luv ya' Gabi said glancing at the clock which read 10.10 before she hung up.

'Luv ya' Tay and Shar said in unison.

Exactly an hour later at 11.10 Gabriella was stood outside the apartment ready and waiting for Sharpay. 'That girl always likes to make an entrance' Gabi thought when a car horn knocked her out of her thoughts. Gabi made her way out to Sharpay's car which was pale pink in colour inside and out. 'Hey girls, wow Shar your driving yourself? Gabi laughed with a hint of sadness in her voice as she climbed in the back of the car while Taylor sat in the front with Sharpay.

'Are you ok Gab you don't seem like yourself today?' Taylor asked with compassion in her voice. 'Why do you say that?' Gabi replied while gazing out of the window watching the apartment building grow smaller as Sharpay pulled away.

'Yea she's right Gab it's like your here with us but your mind is somewhere else.' Sharpay said giving Taylor a knowing look.

'I'm fine guys really don't worry about me' she said trying to make them believe she was ok but they weren't buying it. 'Where are we heading to first anyways?' She asked as Sharpay pulled into the parking slot.

The two girls just shrugged it off for the time being and jumped out of the car. 'I don't mind but I need to buy a new dress me and Zeke are going out to dinner tomorrow night to celebrate him coming home.' Sharpay answered with a huge grin written across her face as they started walking towards the mall.

'Right so knowing you and Zeke like I do, you want something pink and easy to get off.' Taylor said and the three burst out laughing. 'I should be offended by that but you know me to well.' Shar replied still laughing. 'Ooh we should have a party at my place just the gang the celebrate the guys being home.' 'Yeah but I can't do tonight, you can't do tomorrow, what about you Gab, are you seeing Trevor this weekend? Taylor asked with a look of disgust on her face as she mentioned Trevor's name. 'Tay, don't look like that, I really like him, and no since Troy's coming home today we promised each other before he left that we were gonna hang out all weekend catch up.' Gabi said with a small smile playing on her lips. 'Catch up? You live with the guy' Shar asked while shaking her head 'Anyway what about Sunday, you can all come over and sleep like we used to?' She asked hopeful they would say yes. 'Sounds great I can't wait so what time?' Taylor asked while Gabi was nodding her head excitedly. 'Ummm about 7? Then we still have the day to hang out.' 'Yeah sounds to me.' Gabi replied. 'Good ooh and we all have to dress up.' Sharpay added while jumping up and down and clapping her hands. The other two just laughed at their crazy friend.

Five and half hours, 6 strawberry smoothies and a round of McDonalds later the girls had found what they were looking for and they had loaded it into the back of Sharpay's car. Sharpay had bought a gorgeous satin pink strapless dress that ended half way up her thigh with a zipper in the back and some pink and clear rhinestones dotted on the front and matching pink shoes. Taylor bought a white knee length strapless dress with a black band around the waist and a pair of black shoes. Gabi had bought a gorgeous long, red satin dress that reached the floor and hugged her in all right places but insisted that she had matching shoes at home.

Once they had all climbed into Sharpay's car she pulled off and headed to Gabriella's place. 'Oh I'm so tired' Taylor moaned as she tried to hide her yawn but failed terribly.

'Don't worry yourself I'll have you home safe and sound and you can wait for lover boy to come visit.' Shar laughed at the look on Taylor's face. 'How do you manage to see them considering they live together and you guys live together?' 'That's easy I'll go to Chad's when Zeke is over at ours and vice versa. We just make sure we tell each other what's going on or we'd be in trouble.' Taylor said laughing. 'It's same as you and Troy though isn't it?' Shar asked 'Not really Troy doesn't really bring girls home he usually goes to theirs and I've only really gone out with Trevor haven't I?' 'Yeah I suppose your right, here's your stop.' Sharpay said 'I'll call you later k?' 'Yeah thanks for today Shar it really took my mind off things so I'll see you Sunday now then yea?' Gabi said as she climbed out of the car. 'Anytime babe yea I'll see you at 7 ok don't forget?' Sharpay warned 'Ok I won't, thank you bye Shar bye Tay' She called before shutting the door. 'Bye girl luv ya' 'Luv ya too.' Gabi waved.

After watching Sharpay's car drive away she pulled out her keys and entered the apartment and went straight to her room to put her new dress away. On her way thinking about what time Troy will get home? What Sharpay meant by Gabriella Bolton? And why Trevor is spending all his time at the restaurant?
