Chapter 17

I walked to my room after Troy was done with his new girlfriend. "Hey..." Troy said looking at me, his blue eyes, shimmering.

I nodded, my eyes getting watery. A tear, falling. I didn't wipe it away. I laid down on the couch and put my back to him. And I cried silently.

"Gabi?" Troy said nervously.

"Leave me alone Troy..." I said softly. Trying to get over Troy...but it wasn't happening.

"Gabi? Can I talk to you...please?" Troy asked.

"What the hell do you want?" I said softly...with a little force.

"Nevermind..." Troy said.

I got up, grabbed a blanket and left the room, and slept out on the living room couch.

The next day...

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Gabi....Happy birthday to you!" I heard, singing. I opened my eyes, and there was everyone...but Troy. I smiled at them.

"Thanks guys!" I hugged each and every one of them. Jack, Lisa, Chad, Taylor, Grant, Jen, Andrew, Addy, Alison, Allysa, Zeke, and Jason, and Alex...Jen's boyfriend.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY GWABI!" Addy clapped and gave me a kiss.

"Thanks Ad!" I said hugging her.

"So...you ready for the party tonight!?" Jen said excitingly.

"Totally!" I said.

"Everyones invited!" Taylor said. Great...everyone, and everyone meant...Troy, and his stupid girlfriend...:(

"Coolio!" I said.

"Well...I made a appointment for you 'Brie...so you can have your hair done...before 5 which is the party...kay? It's at 3..." Taylor said. Taylor was always the orgainzed type. She arranged all proms at East High and everything!

"Okedokey Tay...but can we go swimming?" I asked, really wanting to get into the water.

"Sure...whatever you say birthday girl!" Grant said.

"I'm glad I brought my swimsuit..." Zeke, Jason, Chad, and Taylor said all together and we laughed.

"SO DID I!" Addy yelled, and we laughed silently.

"That's good sweetie!" I said picking her up and bringing her to change, while I changed too.

Outside...in the back...

"BONZAI!" I heard Chad yell and he jumped in.

"WHOOHOOO!" Grant yelled.

And we were playing around, splashing eachother. "Who wants to play water volleyball?" Grant asked everyone.

We all screamed, and he got out the net and the ball...and we played. The teams were, Me, Jason, Jen, Alex, Grant, and Andrew. While the other was Taylor, Chad, Alison, Allysa, Addy. The teams were uneven. But...oh well.

"I'll serve!" Grant yelled, and served the beach ball over the net. And they hit it back, and we hit it back and scored! "1-0" Jack yelled.

Grant served and Chad spiked it got a point! "1-1!" Jack yelled. He got out a white board and wrote the score.

After 10 minutes...

The door opened, and it was Troy and what's her face. "Hey guys!" Troy said.

"Hey..." Grant said, "One join?" Grant asked.

"Sure...you in Brittany?" Troy asked.

"Totally Twosie!" the girl said.

I rolled my eyes, "Guys...how we gonna split em' up?" I asked angrily.

"You guys can have em'!" Jen said and I nodded in a agreement. We decided they'd be on the other team.

The came out and Troy asked what team. Then he jumped in.

And Brittany came out wearing the smallest bikini ever. "Brit...you look smokin' hot!" Troy yelled and whistled. I rolled my eyes. "Pig..." I mumbled.

"Okay...okay...not let's start!" Grat served and we got a point, because "Brit" wasn't paying attention.

"Yo...Gabi!" Jason yelled.

"Ya?" I said.

"Get on my shoulders!" he said and I got on top of his shoulders.

"Your my princess!" Jason said and Grant served...Troy bumped it over...and I spiked it.

"WHOHOO!" Jason yelled. I smiled.

"Oh yeah!" I said.

"GO BRIE!" Jen yelled, and we high fived.

In the end...We won...21-18!

I got out and got dressed for my hair appointment. And ran into Troy, "Hey Bella...can I bring Brit to your party?" he asked nicely...his eyes twinkling...

"Sure...and don't call me Bella...OR Ella!" I said walking away getting into Taylor's car.

We got my hair done...up and curled and stuff. And then I got ready to go, and went to Taylor at 4:20. And we did my make up and put my dress on! (Links on my homepage)

Jen did the same and (links on homepage) we got ready for the party. Then....the doorbell rang. And again...and again...and again...etc.

Once everyone got there...Taylor announced my arrival. "Okay guys! Well...I'd like introduce the reason why we are all here tonight! The girl of the day! Gabriella Montez!" Taylor yelled and I smiled and went down the stairs. Everyone clapped and cheered, including Troy, excluding Brittany. I had a few presents. I didn't want anyone to bring me anything...but of course, Jason, Zeke, Alex, Chad, Grant, Andrew, and Alison had to get me something...and of course...Jen...who got me 3!!! And I don't know about Troy...

We ate, drank punch...etc. And then...Taylor got on the stage that was set up. "Well...we have 2 performances...both by our lovely Gabriella Montez! First up...is a song by Taylor Swift White Horse!" Taylor said, and everyone applauaded. I got up on stage.

I opened my mouth and sang...

"Say Your Sorry
That face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
As I paced back and forth all this time
Cause I honestly believed in you
Holding on
The days drag on
Stupid girl,
I should have known, I should have known

[Chorus]
I'm not a princes, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you
And your white horse, to come around

Baby I was naive,
Got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
I had so many dreams
About you and me
Happy endings
Now I know

[Chorus]
I'm not a princes, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you
And your white horse, to come around

And there you are on your knees,
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted but I'm sooo sorry

Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well
This is a big world, that was a small town
There in my rearview mirror disappearing now
And its too late for you and your white horse
Now its too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Try and catch me now
Oh, it's too late
To catch me now"

Tears were in my eyes. This song reminded me of Troy. And everyone applauded. I bowed and got off stage. My second performance...was at the end.

Okay...the next chapters comin ASAP! I mean REALLY FAST! In music terms...PRESTO!
