"So, girls, what do you have planned today?" Jessi McKessie asked Taylor and Gabriella.

Taylor shrugged. Then, she looked at Gabriella. "Girls night out?" She asked.

Gabriella shrugged. "Sounds good to me."

"Okay, I'll call Kelsi and Shar later." Taylor said, excitedly. "After lunch. We can all go see a movie later or something. Is that okay?"

"Sure," Gabriella agreed.

"Cool," Taylor said, stuffing her face with her ham and cheese sandwich. Gabriella giggled.

"Starting to take after Chad are we now?"

"Maybe a little," Taylor moaned. "I need to spend less time with him, I guess. So, what's up with you and Troy Boy?"

"I dunno," Gabriella shook her head.

"Same old, same old?" She asked.

"I guess?" Gabriella said.

"Had your first date, yet?"

"No, we are Monday night." Gabriella replied.

"Sweetness." Taylor giggled, pulling her cell phone out of her pocket. "I'm going to call the girls now."

"You do that," Gabriella said, standing up. "I'm going to go see when your mom can stop by and get my cell phone number changed. I'm scared my dad will try and call me."

"Okay, hon." Taylor said, dialing Sharpay's number. "Hey, Shar. You wanna go to the movies tonight with me and Gabs and maybe Kels? Okay, cool. See you at six!"

Gabriella knocked on Jessi's bedroom door. "Jessi?" She asked.

"Yes, sweetie?" Jessi asked, yanking the door open.

"Um, sorry to interrupt whatever you were doing…but, um, when are you going to stop by the phone place and get my number changed? I already gave you the money, right?"

"Oh, speaking of the money…" She dug into her pocket and gave it back to Gabriella. "I won't be needing it. I'm going to pay for it."

"No!" Gabriella said. "The least I can do is pay for myself! You guys have done enough for me already!"

"Gabriella, please, it's my pleasure."

"But-"

"No buts about it. I'm paying, enough said." Jessi said.

"Fine," Gabriella huffed.

"You don't have to be so sweet all of the time," Jessi laughed.

Gabriella giggled. "I'm not!"

"Yeah, you are," she said. "Are you and Taylor busy tonight?"

"Yep." Gabriella replied, smiling brightly. "Night out with the girls."

"Oh, how fun," Jessi laughed.

"Yeah," Gabriella said. "It'll be barrels of fun!" Jessi chuckled.

"Okay, Gabs, I gotta get back to my shower."

"Okay," Gabriella said. "I'll go find Tay." She skipped off down the hall and into the kitchen.

"Oh, hey, Gabs!" Taylor greeted. "Kelsi and Shar can come tonight!"

"Sweet. What are we going to go see?"

"Um, how about the Last House on the Left?" Taylor suggested.

"Cool. I've wanted to see that for a while now." Gabriella stated.

"Me too," Taylor giggled.

SIX O'CLOCK P.M. THAT NIGHT:

"Hey, Shar! Hey, Kels!" Gabriella and Sharpay greeted the two others in unison.

"Hey!" Sharpay and Kelsi sang.

"Ready to go?" Taylor asked.

"Yep," Kelsi chirped in her small voice.

" 'Kay, girls, let's hit it!" Sharpay laughed, getting in the front seat of her pink convertible. Kelsey and Taylor squeezed in the back seat and Gabriella sat in the passengers side. Sharpay hit the radio button with a freshly, manicured nail.

"LOVE SONG!" All four of them shouted. They all began to sing along with Taylor Swift's voice.

Gabriella started. "We were both young when I first saw you. I close my eyes and the flashback starts; I'm standin' there on a balcony of summer air. See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns, I see you make your way through the crowd and say hello. Little did I know, that you were Romeo and you were throwin' pebbles and my daddy said stay away from Juliet and I was cryin' on the staircase, begging you please don't go."

Then, they all joined in. "Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone, I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess, it's a love story, baby, just say yes."

"So, I sneak out to the garden to see you. We keep quiet, 'cause, we're dead if they knew. So, close your eyes. Escape this town for a little while. Oh, oh, 'cause you were Romeo, I was a Scarlet Letter, and my daddy said stay away from Juliet, but you were everything to me, I was begging you please don't go," Sharpay sang.

"And I said, Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone, I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess, it's a love story, baby, just say yes." They all sang together.

"Romeo, save me, they're tryin to tell me how to feel. This love is difficult, but it's a-real, don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess, it's a love story, baby, just say yes."

"I got tired of waiting," Taylor sang. "Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around. My faith in you was fading, when I met you on the outskirts of town and I said Romeo save me, I've been feelin' so alone. I keep waiting for you but you never come. Is this in my head? I don't know what to think. He knelts to the ground and pulls out a ring and said…"

"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone. I love you and that's all I really know," Kelsi took over. "I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress, it's a love story, baby, just say yes."

"Ooh, oh, ohh," Sharpay sang.

"Ooh, oh, oh, ohh," Kelsi's voice sang.

" 'Cause we were both young when I first saw you," Taylor and Gabriella finished together as the song ended.

"Gabriella, girl, I didn't know you could sing that well." Taylor stated.

"Yeah, Gabs, you have a really good voice," Sharpay said.

"Yeah, you do. Did you take singing lessons?" Kelsi asked.

"No, I didn't and I don't have a good voice. You guys do!"

"Pshh," Kelsi said, waving her hand. "I'm not a singer. I'm a piano player."

"Yeah, I'm a freaky geek, but, you, you have the potential to go somewhere." Taylor said. "Just like you, Sharpay."

"Hey, what can I say? I've wanted to be a singer since I was two." Sharpay shrugged. Everyone laughed. "Gabriella, me and you should do something in the talent show together next year!"

"But, it'll be my first year."

"So..?" Taylor asked,

"So, I just show up to East High and sing?" Gabriella asked.

"The talent show's at the end of the year." Kelsi smiled. Gabriella groaned.

"Whatever," she said as everyone got out of the car.

"That's what I thought." Sharpay giggled, walking over toward the ticket booth. "Four students to Last House on the Left."

"Okay, here you go," the lady at the booth said, handing her the tickets.

"Thank you," Sharpay replied, taking the tickets and getting in the line, which was stretched all of the way outside. Gabriella suddenly shivered as she, too, got into the line and it wasn't because of the weather. It was warm outside.

"You okay?" Kelsi asked.

"Yeah…I just…felt like someone was watching me for a minute," Gabriella said, looking around.

"Oh, sorry," Taylor said. "That guy over there was checking you out a while ago."

Gabriella sighed. "Yeah, I guess that was it." But, she still wasn't so sure. She had this unexplainable feeling that someone was here. Someone that she really didn't want to see at the moment.
