Okay guys...well...I've been updating a lot lately on See Me Who I Really Am...so this time, I'm going to update on this one!

Chapter 7

"Jase? There a reason why you're holding my hand?" I asked chuckling.

"Oh...sorry!" Jason said letting go.

"SHEESH! You know how hard it is to catch up with you two?" Jen asked completely out of breath.

"Jen...it's Jason...Jason Cross! He's a basketball player who's totally athletic!" I laughed.

"And don't forget...HANDSOME!" Jason laughed..ugh...Jason Cross...so full of himself.

"I'm sure you are..." Jen said rolling her eyes.

"Ha ha ha..." Jason laughed.

"HEY! GUYS WAIT UP!" We could here running footsteps behind us. We all turned around, and there was the rest of the gang running...whoops?

"GUYS! WAIT UP!" Andrew yelled.

We stopped walking...

"Thanks for waiting..." Zeke said out of breath.

"Yeah...what he said." Matt said taking a deep breath.

"I don't think we have everyone?" Taylor said rolling her eyes.

"Same ole' Troy..." Jen and I said in unison rolling our eyes. Of course...we look at Troy...and we see Troy and Christle holding hands.

"I say we ditch em'..." I said rolling my eyes.

"Gabs..c'mon...I know your nicer than that..." Grant said looking at me.

"Look at him! He's totally and completely capable of walking around with some bimbo!" I said.

"Gabs...?" Jason looked at me.

"Okay...I take it back!" I said.

"I'll get him..." Chad said and jogged over to Troy and what's her face.

We could see Chad talking to Troy and, apparently someone said my name, because Christle gave me a nasty look. Well...this ought to be an interesting day to shop.

Troy, Chad, and Christle walked back over to us. "Well...?" Andrew said.

"Someone's not coming along with us..." Chad said, because Troy and Christle walked passed us.

"Well, me apologizing was for nothing wasn't it?" I said looking at Grant.

"Yeah...sorry about that?" Grant said.

"Well, do we have to keep standing here? LET'S GO SHOPPING!" Alison said dragging me and Jen off.

"Let's follow the girls!" I could here Zeke say.

At least Troy wasn't coming with us. We stopped at JC Penny's. "OOH! I love this! Don't you love this Gabster?" Jen said holding up a cute baby blue top.

"TOTALLY!" I laughed.

"Of course it does Jen Jen! It looks beautiful...!" Alex laughed.

"That's not funny!" Jen said hanging the top back up.

"OOOH! Don't you like this one?" Alison yelled from across the store, it seemed like.

"This'll look so cute on you Gabi!" Alison said running over, and holding it in front of me.

"I agree." Matt said shrugging. Oh my gosh! Matt said it would cute on me??

"Yeah..I'll try it on." I said grabbing it.

"Please don't tell me we have to be enslaved, and you'll make us carry your purses AND your bags..." Zeke whined.

"Nooo?" Allysa laughed.

"UGH!" Zeke, Jason, Grant, Andrew, Alex, and Chad whined.

"Oh...you'll live!" Taylor said shrugging.

I ran into the changing room and tried on the outfit...it was a white shirt with a cute black vest to go over it, and a hat...(I don't' know how to describe it...sorry)

I came out and...

"AAHHH! That's so cute...your so getting that!" Jen said pulling me over to the mirror.

"See...you look awesome...and half of that is because of me...!" Jen said smiling.

"Yeah...I'll get it...!" I said looking at myself.

"You look beautiful Gabs..." Grant said rolling his eyes.

"Thanks Grant..." I said rolling my eyes, and I went back and changed back into my clothes...

"Okay...now...OOOH! Gabi! JEN! You guys would look so good with these on!" Taylor said.

They were two beautiful gowns. One black, with a white band around the top, with a strappy, and silver flowers on it, and another was a light pink dress...very long...and a darker pink bad around the waist. "And where are we going to wear this?" I asked confused.

"Love em' Tay...agreed...but where are we going to wear this...Gabs does have a point..." Jen looking at the dresses.

"Just try em' on...they'll look beautiful on you two!" Taylor said and handed them to us.

Jen and I linked arms and went in. We both came out at the same time.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! So beautiful! C'mere look in the mirror!" Taylor dragged us over.

I gotta admit, Taylor was right. "Wow..." Alex said staring and Jen.

"You look...wow!" Alex said.

"You both look...just...wow!" Jason said.

"Let's try to get pass mono syllables..." I giggled.

"Yeah...and besides, it's not like Gabs and I are going to get these...they're...200 DOLLARS! And...where are we going to wear them?" Jen said.

"You still look pretty!" Alex said.

"Yay...2 syllables in that one!" I laughed.

THIRD PERSON

With Troy...

"So...Troy...you going out with anyone?" Christle asked.

"No?" Troy said.

"Really? So what are you doing tomorrow...?" Christle asked holding Troy's hand.

"IS THAT GABI??" Troy yelled at the top of us his lungs.

"WHAT??" Christle said getting mad at Troy.

Troy ignored her, and went over to the rest of them, and basically ditched Christle.

With the rest...

GABRIELLA'S POV

"I do agree...we do like..." I couldn't think of a good adjective.

"Fine?" Jason laughed.

"Sure...that works." I said.

"All you need is some jewlry, the right make up, a date, and you'll be like ready for prom!" Alison said looking at us 2.

"Hey guys..." Troy said.

"Oh, hey Tr-" I said turning around, catching myself. I didn't to talk to him.

"C'mon Jen!" I said dragging her in the the changing room...but...

"WAIT! Look, Bella...I'm sorry..., and by the way...you look absolutely stunning." Troy said, his eyes twinkling. WOAH, wait what am I saying?

"Awkward..." I could here Chad say.

I was warm in the cheeks. I was blushing? Why was I blushing? "Thanks..." I said smiling.

"I agree 'Brie...you look, absolutely beatiful, pretty, cute, AMAZING!" Matt said smiling at me.

GREAT! Now I was completely HOT in the cheeks. "Thanks Matt..." I said.

"Really awkward..." Chad said.

"Agreed..." Andrew said.

"HEY LOOK! Is that the food court! Let's go guys!" Grant said, I could tell he wanted to get the heck out of there. And...after all...the food court was their favorite, actally...the only part they do like about the mall. And the guys were gone, except for Matt, Alex, and Troy...

Troy looked at me. "I'm truly sorry...I'll make it up to you, I'll buy you lunch..." Troy said.

I looked at Jen, she gave me a nod. "Sure?" I said still not wanting anything to do with Troy Bolton.

I went back and changed and put the dress back on the rack. "So, you forgive me?" Troy asked.

I kept quiet. I didn't answer, "Look, I'm sorry..." Troy said.

My anger was building inside of me, and I kept it in, by not saying anything.

"Gabriella...look...you may know me as an idiot, and I know...but over the past 1 year (I know I said 2 at first, but I didn't want Troy being 2 years older than her) I changed..." Troy said looking at me.

I just looked at him, "Okay...at least tell me wha you want? I can't always read your mind..." Troy said.

"I'll have subway..." I mumbled.

"Gabs...please forgive me..." Troy said.

"Okay...gosh!" I said, and Matt was walking next to me.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Yeah Matt...c'mon..." I said and we sat down at a table next to the guys'.

"So, what's up with you and Troy?" Matt asked.

"I don't know..." I said.

"It looks to me, like someone...someone likes you..." Matt murmered.

"TROY BOLTON LIKES ME?! Yeah right...not in a million, trillion years!" I laughed histarically.

That could never happen, could it?

I ended at a bad time...sorry.!
