Chapter 17: Surprise!
A scream erupted from my mouth as I went flying over to the two people that had just walked into the gym with joined hands. "Stephen! Christiney Beanie!" I yelled excitedly.
"Brie!" Christine yelled just as excitedly. We began jumping in circles throwing questions back and forth.
"How are you?" "What have you been up to?" "I've missed you?" "How is everyone?" "How is life?" "I can't believe you're here?" "Oh my God!!"
Soon Stephen came over too, "Like OMG how like are you like?" he asked mocking us.
We both turned and faced him with frowns, "Jerk!" we chorused, hitting him on the arms together.
"Oww." He complained. "Girls are violent."
"How do you date this?" I asked Christine in mock seriousness.
Shaking her head she sighed, "I have no idea." She muttered. "He's just lucky that I'll put up with him." I laughed as Stephen rolled his eyes.
"Girls are mean too." He whined
"Wouldn't that fit well under the violent category?" I asked with a smirk
"Smart ass." He muttered.
"High maintenance." I muttered back.
"I've missed you Brie Brie." He laughed hugging me. I giggled and hugged him back.
"Okay, everyone go get dressed the show's over." Coach Bolton blew his whistle, hustling everyone out of the gym with the exception of the Wildcats, Christine, and Stephen.
"Come on Boo." Sharpay said, "Let's go get changed out of the sweaty clothes and take these guys out on the town, show em what Albuquerque is all about." Sharpay giggled.
"Okay, we'll be back, actually, Stephen you can go with the guys, and Beanie, you can come with us." I said, linking arms with Christine and leading the girls off, leaving the guys slightly speechless after an intense game of basketball and the surprise visit of my two best friends from Jacksonville.
We walked into the locker room laughing, "So when did you two start dating?" I asked with arched brows.
"Who said we were?" She asked cautiously.
"You've already told me you are…remember?" I asked tapping her head, her memory was awful.
"Oh yeah, wait!" her hands flew to her hips. "How the hell did you know?" she asked incredulously.
"I know everything." I winked at the girls who laughed behind their hands. Changing quickly we all got ready to head out. "Still haven't figured it out yet?" I asked Christine as we met the guys outside the locker rooms.
She shook her head as she and Stephen intertwined their hands. The girls all laughed, "What's going on?" Troy asked me, as he kissed the top of my head.
"Christine's trying to figure out how I knew she and Stephen were dating." I rolled my eyes.
"Wait, how did you know?" Stephen asked confused.
"Can I just tell them already?" Taylor asked, mock exasperation in her tone. I nodded my head, "You two walked into the gym holding hands." She motioned to their now intertwined fingers as they blushed, clearly embarrassed.
"So slow." I muttered under my breath, but Troy definitely heard as he laughed and drew me closer so he could kiss my hair. I sighed contentedly as we made our way to our cars to head home, thank the lord the guys didn't have practice today.
Once we were all at the house (Troy and Gabi's), we sat in a circle on the back porch, snacking on chips, fruit, and soda that us girls had put on trays and brought out. "So what are we going to do this fine Friday night?" Christine asked as took a sip of her Coke.
"I dunno…" I answered, leaning into Troy. "What are our options?" I asked.
"Let's have a movie night tonight." Kelsi suggested. Everyone agreed.
"Ohh and tomorrow we can go shopping and then spend the day at Lava Springs." Sharpay began clapping her hands excitedly.
"I'm in." Taylor piped up, "Manicures and Pedicures sound really nice right now."
"Oh and facials." Martha put in.
"Of course!" I laughed as the guys rolled their eyes.
"What's Lava Springs?" Stephen asked with a slight face, causing Chad to laugh and choke on his chips.
Taylor smacked his back while Ryan answered, "It's our family's country club and resort."
"Our…" Christine waited for clarification.
"Oh, Ryan and I are twins." Sharpay spoke up matter-of-factly.
"Right." Stephen rubbed Christine's arms when he saw her shiver.
"So movies." I said, "Which ones."
"Saw!!" Zeke, Chad, Jason, Ryan, and Troy yelled in unison.
"Um NO!!" Shar, Tay, Kelsi, Martha and I yelled back.
"Why not?" Chad whined
"Cause we watched it last time, and we had to protect you from the movie." Taylor groaned at the memory.
The rest of us stifled laughs as Chad glared at his girlfriend and consented, "Fine but please limit the chick flicks."
"Okay, how about Vantage Point?" I suggested.
"Oh, and Indiana Jones…" Christine looked at me
"And the Last Crusade!" We yelled together before erupting in fits of laughter.
"Oh and Sex and the City." Sharpay squealed, this was answered by 'no's from everyone, including the girls. "Fine." She muttered.
"How about P.S. I Love You." Kelsi smiled.
"Yea!" all the girls cried.
"Then it's settled, we can figure it out from there." I stood up and held my hands out for Troy who pulled himself up. Everyone followed as we cleaned up and went to get the movies.
Piling all the pillows and blankets into the movie room, we settled down with our new set of snacks for movie time….
Sorry it was so short, but I'm just getting back into it, it took me a while to remember what I wanted to do next. Anyways, now that I'm remembering I promise to update it as soon as I get a whole chapter in my head, maybe one with a little drama. Ideas are always welcome! Review!!
