A/N: Yes, the HSM crew may be slightly out of their original characters but thats how the story goes, also, this is a repost of a story i began to write Lets Get Lost but i changed it quite a bit.
It was 1:30pm the next day before i even dreamt of getting up. I knew my father and sister had been in earlier but i refused to wake up because of 2 reasons, one - I had a huge hangover and i knew my dad would not be happy. Two - I was just too tired.
Now though, i was feeling a bit better and less head-achey so i decided to face the day.
After a quick shower, i got changed into some skinny jeans with white vest top and a beige half jacket. I sorted my hair and applied my makeup before stepping gingerly down the stairs, readying myself for what was to come as soon as i stepped through into the kitchen.
Gathering my strength i walked into the kitchen, spotting my sister sitting at the island on a stool and my dad washing up in the sink. When i entered they both turned to look at me. I stood there, showing no signs of emotion, waiting for the blast.
"Where we you last night?" My dad asked surprisingly calmly.
"The party remember"
"Liar, let's try a different question; why weren't you home by curfew?"
"I lost track of time?" I tried.
"I don't want to hear this Gabriella, your lieing to me" He said angrily. "I'll sort out your punishment later, but now your up we can finally go grocery shopping because the cupboards are looking rather bare."
"Come on Gabs it will be fun!" Elisa cried out
"Whatever" I shrugged. "Let's go then but i'm driving my car"
15 minutes later, i found myself sitting in the drivers seat of my car, my dad riding in the passenger seat and my sister riding in the back. My dad was not really talking to me which did admittedly kind of bother me. Ok, i shouldn't have broken my curfew and lied about where i was going but i am just a normal teenager who wants to have fun and not act like the woman of the household - Being left with jobs a normal teenager just wouldn't do.
I tapped the steering wheel lightly at a song that was playing on the radio at that time, trying to break the thick silence that was resting upon the car. I sighed before speaking "Are you just gunna stop speaking to me dad?"
"That was the plan" He replied
"Dad..." I began
"No Gabriella, i give you your responsiblity and respect that you wanted, but yet you repay me by getting drunk at some party, breaking curfew and lieing about where you have been" He said sternly.
"I'm sorry that i wanted to have some fun. All i do is school work and make sure the house is clean, prepare every meal oh and lets not forget do every single house chore. Im more of an old lady then a 16 year old" I said, annoyance evident in my voice as i pulled up into the supermarket carpark. Without a single word, i exited the car and walked into the supermarket, leaving my father and sister behind but yet, waiting for them to catch up.
As far as grocery shopping goes, this sucked. Normally, it would be ok because i would chat with my dad while Elisa would run off and grab somethings we needed. This time however, it was more of a mad dash - Get in, get the stuff and get the hell out, because lets face it, the tension was un-bearable. Thankfully, after we had stocked up on the numerous necessities - such as food, toileteries, drink (Non-alcoholic apparently) and the like we were ready to go...Well, that was till i opened my big mouth at the checkouts.
"Dad by the way i still need my allowance" Apparently, that was totally the wrong thing to say. I didn't see why to be honest, it was a fair comment. My dad always gave me a decent allowance to last me a month because of my help around the house, but last months fund was running extremely low AKA i had around 5 dollars to my name.
"I don't think you really deserve it" He said as he handed over his credit card to the checkout lady.
"What? Don't take my allowance away becuase of last night, i have done all my chores this month" I said sternly.
"I don't care"
"Yeah, thats the problem" I mumbled, before placing my car keys in his hand and whipping around, walking out of the store without a second thought. I didn't bother looking back as i heard my father calling me, instead i pulled out my iPod and plugged in the ear buds, turning the music on while walking to the nearby mall.
I sat in McDonalds playing with the small portion of fries sitting in front of me - Eating one now and again before reaching for my drink. I glanced out of a nearby window at the people walking past, busy or just enjoying their time.
I felt my mind wander back to the guy from last night. He had been truly incredible. Everything about him seemed...perfect; his kisses, his smile, his eyes and even his name...I felt slightly bad however, that i had lied about my age to him. I had said i was 19 to impress him because if he knew i was really 16 he wouldn't have given me a second glance. Anyway, it wasn't like i was ever going to see him again.
However, no sooner had i thought this - As if by fate a voice said "Is this seat taken?" I looked up from my now cold fries to lock eyes with a pair of sparkling blue ones. I was in shock more then anything because standing infront of me smiling softly was Troy - The guy from last night.
I couldn't believe it. Why was he here? Why did he remember me? We were never meant to see each other again after last night but now he was standing in front of me expectantly.
"Umm...Urghhh" I began, trying to form some sort of sentence. Although my attempts were unsuccesful.
He chuckled, before sitting down on the chair opposite me. For how drunk he seemed last night, he looked really good. He was wearing a wifebeater under a checkered unbuttoned shirt with some jeans and checkered Vans. He looked soo sexy.
"Hi" He said simply.
"Hi" I managed to reply.
"Gabriella Yeah?" He asked, as if to clarify he had the right girl and not a stranger who looked similar.
I nodded, brushing some hair from my face shyly.
"You do remember me right? From last night?" He said
"Yeah" I blushed "Sorry about practically running out of there"
"No worries, so do you want another drink or some more fries or something?" Troy offered "Because i'm proper hungry"
I giggled "No im good"
"Come on! I'm paying...humour me ok?" He smiled.
I nodded "I'll just have another drink" I said before Troy walked away.
"Heres your drink" Troy said as he sat down opposite me once again, placing a tray onto the table which had 2 drinks, one burger and some fries on it.
"Thankyou" I replied, taking the drink and sipping it through the straw.
"So, why did you run away from me last night?" Troy asked as he grabbed a few fries and began to eat them.
"I had to go?" I replied sheepishly, finding my voice. "And it was feeling pretty awkward"
"It didn't feel awkward to me. We kissed and it was amazing" Troy replied. He looked soo relaxed and confident - like this conversation was coming naturally to him, compared to me who was freaking out. I hade never expected to see him again.
"Well, it was awkward for me because i never normally go around kissing random guys at parties" I said.
"Understood, well i dont go around kissing random girls"
"Good to know" I said as my phone began to ring. I pulled it out looking at the caller I.D - Riley. Riley was one of my most treasured guy friends who always had my back whenever i needed him. I had known him longer then any other friend of mine so there was a special bond between us.
"I need to get this, is that ok?" I asked Troy. He nodded looking entrigued as he began to munch on his burger.
I pressed the answer call button and held my phone to my ear.
"Hey Riley" I said
"Gabster! I have just been speaking to Taylor, now wanna tell me about this guy you were kissing at that house party last night?" Riley babbled in a hurry.
I blushed before answering "Its no big deal"
"Of course it is!! Gabriella, you havent been with a guy in 6 months now all the sudden your making out with one at a random party"
"Riley, can we talk later? Please."
"Fine. But i want details. Love you Gabs"
"Love you too" I said before hanging up. I looked up at Troy who had nearly finished his food and was staring at me.
"Boyfriend?" He asked causing me to scoff and start laughing like a near maniac.
"Riley? Noo...Riley is just a really good friend of mine." I answered, bringing myself back down off my laughing cloud. "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Nope, single." Troy said before glancing at something on the table beside me. My iPod. "What sort of music you into?"
"Umm Anything really, but more orientated around R&B, hip hop, pop, Ballards...You?"
"More of a rock person to be honest but i like R&B and hip hop alot too. Hey, wanna swap?"
"Swap?" I asked confusedly, watching as he pulled out his iPod and passed it over to me before grabbing mine and turning it on, scrolling through the playlists.
"I'll let you have it for a week. You take mine - Don't worry i do this all the time with my friends" Troy told me.
"Are you sure this isn't just some ellaborate plan to stick me with your broken iPod?" I asked, one eyebrow raised enquisetively.
"You have trust issues" Troy laughed "Look, it will be fine. You give me your phone number and then we can arrange to meet next week to swap back. Simple."
I had to admit, this plan did seem a bit on the wierd side but i couldn't really say no. "Is this just some plan to get my phone number or something, because you know, you could just ask?"
Troy seemed to chuckle even more at that before he turned serious, leaning over the table to look at me properly. "It was really just a plan for me to see you again, the phone number is just a bonus" He whispered sexily. I gulped before taking out a pen and writing my mobile number on a napkin and handing it to him.
"I'll be expecting my iPod in one piece" I remarked. Shifting his iPod from one hand to another as i took a napkin with his number on it, reminding myself to programme that into my phone later.
"Wait, so remind me how old are you again?" Troy asked.
I froze. How old did i say i was? "Nineteen?" I said, more of a question then a strict answer.
"Cool, i just turned twenty one" Troy said.
"Right, well i better go" I said, standing up, suddenly wanting to be anywhere but in his presence for fear of telling more lies. "See you around Troy, Call me and take care of my iPod" and with that, i left.
I walked home, listening to Troy's iPod. It surprised me how much you could tell about a person by their songs. All those songs - the ones he listened to when he was sad and the ones his listened to that reminded him of girls - that he played again and again; they were the soundtrack to his heart. And then there were songs he played that were fast and frantic so he'd crank up the volume and bounce around to. Song's let you see into someones soul.
Of course, through all of this i couldn't keep my mind of Troy himself. There was just something about him...something enticing that made me want to lie so he could even consider me as anything other then just a girl. I really didn't understand what i was thinking when i told him i was 19. I really didn't. But it was too late...I couldn't take that one lie back.
I stepped through my front door, pulling the key out of the lock before shutting it. I threw my key down on a nearby table and pulled the earphones from my ears. I sighed, kicking my shoes off before entering the living room where i noticed my sister was sitting, watching The Cheetah Girls 2 while my dad was reading a book of some kind, looking up when he realised my presence.
"Go to your room" Was all he said.
I shrugged indifferently before replying "With Pleasure" And walking out of the living room and up the stairs to my room, landing for the second time in 24 hours on my bed, face first.
What you think? Hope you like it?
Second chapter for this today...im really getting into it because its a completely different story to what i normally write because i get to write the characters, not too young but not too old so i can make them do all sorts of wierd randum things.
Lool, i actually traded my pink iPod with my boyfriends green ipod for a week and he actually ended up breaking it :P ...He still owes me a new one!! Anyway, it turns out we like the same kind of music...Except he nearly went crazy with all the HSM, HSM2, VANESSA HUDGENS, ASHLEY TISDALE, HAIRSPRAY, CHEETAH GIRLS songs i had on there ;)
Bless him.
Anyway, review!!
