Because I'm bored, and need something to do...I decided to put up another chapter! Keep reviewing! School starts in a few hours so I decided to do a quick chapter!

Chapter 32

"Yeah! Totally!" I said nodding, glad that I went out. Jake was cute. He was like skater...but still preppy. It was a different look that he could pull off. He was hot too! He was overall just my type! Heh!

"Well, lemme just call up my girlfriend!" Grant smiled, and I remembered Allysa. She was so cute, and so sweet.

"Yeah...I never really did get to know Allysa." I said smiling at him.

"You'll love her." he smiled and winked at me.

"Well...Gabi. You and I are the only single ones...sooo..." he paused, "You wanna be my date?" Jake said nervously, rubbing the back of his neck. He was so cute.

"Of course I would." I smiled at him. Tonight was going to be perfect. Besides...the leech, but I'll be okay. Troy will ignore me, and I'll ignore him.

"Oh! That reminds me...I'm gonna call my boyfriend!" she smiled and ran past me and she whispered, "Jake is awesome." in my ear.

I smiled, "You go call Alex! And get Ryan, Shar, and Tay! Call them!" I smiled and she nodded and ran back into the house.

"Who's Ryan, Shar, and Tay?" Jake said, of course already confused.

"You don't remember them?" I asked him, now confused myself.

"Oh yeah! Ryan and Sharpay the drama king and queen. And Taylor's going out with Chad right?" he asked.

"Yeah..." I nodded laughing and he laughed too.

"So your ready to be my date?" he teased and nudged me.

"So ready." I laughed.

I heard a phone ring, and it was Tiffany's. She lifted up a finger to say 'hold on' and left. Then Jake's phone rang and he mimicked Tiffany. "I'll be right back guys!" Alison said and she ran back into the house.

I was with Troy. Bleh. I hated him now, as much as I hated him back before I dated. Troy and I should have never dated, and we definitely shouldn't have dated. I didn't look at him, but I went down and sat at the bench by the front door. Troy followed. Ugh.

"So, how's everything?" he asked sitting next to me.

"Fine, thanks. You already asked that." I said rolling my eyes. He was still the mindless idiot/player he was before.

"Well, usually when someone asks how someone is, the other asks the one who asked first how they're doing too..." he mumbled.

"Fine! How are you?" I said sounding completely not interested. Because honestly, I wasn't.

"Good. Tiffany and I are getting serious...and...yeah." he said looking at me, and I was staring out at the street.

"Hey!" Jake said finally coming and I smiled.

"You guys ready?" Jen asked coming out of the door.

"Yeah!" I said smiling even more.

"Okay, well Allysa, Shar, Tay, and Ryan are meeting us there..." she explained.

"Okay. I'll take my car...you and Jake wanna come in my car?" I asked her.

"Uhm, Alex is picking me up...so you and Jake go ahead." Jen said smiling at me.

Alex was the nicest guy ever and he was a gentlemen without being too perfect.

"Okay...that's fine. Wait...where are we going?" I asked.

"The MALL! Duh!" I laughed, "Of course." I nodded then looked at Jake.

"You ready?" I asked him and he nodded.

"We'll see you guys soon." I said and I got into my car, and Jake got into the passenger's side.

"I love your car." Jake said and I nodded.

"I got for my birthday from Andrew...and well Alison." I laughed and he joined in.

"So...uhm I heard you and...Troy went out for a while?" he asked. I got all uncomfortable. Who'd he hear this from? "I heard it from Grant...and Jen." he explained. Ah.

"Yeah, only for a few weeks...." I nodded.

"Oh. Well I'm sorry he was a jerk to you." he smiled and I looked at him for a second that put my eyes back onto the road.

"No problem. I'm over him..." I shrugged as if I say it was no big deal.

"Well, that's good. I heard how he-I mean Grant broke up with you." he chuckled, "What an ass." he shook his head in disapproval and I laughed.

"It's no big deal. I coped, and he and I are over each other and it'll just go back to how things were before." I explained.

"Oh...okay." he nodded, "What was before then?" he asked wanting to know.

"Him making fun of me, calling me names, I despising him." I explained having all these flashbacks from before we dated, and when I absolutely despised him, then we became friends, we dated, and now it went full circle.

"Ah." he nodded then put his arm around my shoulder. It was comforting and I liked it and it kept me from crying. We rode the rest of the way in silence. It wasn't awkward silence, it was just I was thinking about what had happened this summer. All this drama. I think I'm going to go back to my real self. Glasses, but still stylish. Heh.

"Ugh...my contacts are bugging me." I whined as we parked into the parking lot of the mall.

"Take them out." he laughed, and I did. I put my contacts in the little case, and put the cleanser in there and got out my new glasses I bought with Jen a while back.

We walked out and Troy and Tiffany were there. "You know what Gabi?" Jake as we walked toward them.

"What?" I said raising an eyebrow as we finally reached Troy and his girlfriend.

"You look sexy with glasses." he chuckled and I smacked him playfully, going fully red in the cheeks.

"You do!" he laughed and I took off my glasses and put them on my head for a minute to rub my eyes.

I felt someone tense up, even though I couldn't see anyone, I was sure it was Troy.

I put my glasses back on and smiled at him, and he snapped a picture of me with his phone. I laughed, and Alex's car pulled up.

Nobody's P.O.V

"Hey!" Jen got out of the car while Alex went to go park his car and she hugged me. "What's with the glasses?" she asked.

"Contacts were bugging me." Gabriella explained and Jen make an 'o' with her mouth, showing that she explained.

"I told her she looked sexy with her glasses." Jake said then looking at Gabriella and winking at her and once again Gabriella blushed uncontrollably. 'Damn..yes she does...' Thought Troy.

"Hahahaha!" Jen laughed and they waited for the rest of them to get there.

I"m gonna stop it there! School starts like in a few hours soo...I gotta go! Bye guys!
