Hey everyone! I was able to take some time off and write this chapter. Hope you like it.
Last time: "Why don't you come hang out with me at the coffee shop after school today? It might help getting your mind off things." Taylor asked resting her hand on my arm. I looked up at her.
"Sure, why not?" I gave her a slight smile. I just really want this day to end!
*After school* Gabi and Taylor.
"Come on Gabriella, my car is just over there." Taylor dragged me in that direction and we soon met up with a silver mini van.
"Nice car Taylor." I smiled and walked over to the passenger side.
"Thanks, by the way. Don't you have a car?" Taylor asked me as we both got in the silver van.
"Yes I do, its getting fixed." I replied putting my seatbelt on as Taylor did the same.
"Oh, what's wrong with it?" Taylor started the car.
"The brakes aren't working that well…"
"That sucks," Taylor said as I sighed.
"Yeah, well. Can't do much about that, so where are we going?"
"To Blue Dragon," Taylor responded. (I just picked a random coffee place listed in New Mexico coffee shops. :)
*With Sharpay and Ryan.* Shars P.O.V
What a day, I'm just glad it's almost over. I slung my pink bad over my shoulder and headed for my car with Ryan following.
"So Shar how was your day?" My brother asked casually. I glared at him and we put his hands up. "Sorry I asked."
"You should be…you know I could go for a soy latte about right now." I replied smiling just thinking about it.
"I thought we were going home?" Ryan said as he got into the pink mustang.
"Nope, not now, you can walk home if you want. Or you can go to get some coffee? You're Choice." I said as I got into the drivers seat and turned on the car. I looked at Ryan smirking slightly. "So what's it going to be?" Ryan smacked his forehead with is hand as he rolled his eyes.
"Let's just go." He whined and we were off.
*At the Blue Dragon with Taylor and Gabriella.* Gabi's P.O.V
I was sitting at a nicely decorated brown table as I waiting for Taylor to return with our coffee's we previously ordered. While Taylor had done that I scanned the room and saw some people here relaxing, others on their laptop doing what not, and some people just having normal conversations.
"Here we are," I looked in front of me and saw Taylor setting down 2 cups of decaf coffee.
"Thanks," I replied in a soft tone.
"No problem." Taylor sat down across me. "So, tell me. Why are you so upset and worried about Amber being around you?" Taylor asked before taking a sip of her drink.
"I'm not upset, just worried…"
"Why?"
"Well, part of it is because of Sharpay. I'm just afraid that she will get upset if she see's me with Amber." I replied and looked down.
"Gabriella, forget about Sharpay! She broke up with you. She shouldn't be worried about you hanging out with another girl."
"But-," Taylor cut me off again.
"If she did, she's probably just jealous, and she can't get over the fact that you 2 are done!"
I sighed and took a sip of my coffee. "Yeah, I guess—," I heard the door open and guess who it was. Amber…Taylor followed my eyes and took a glance behind her.
"Gabriella, why don't you get to know her?" Taylor said slightly smirking.
"What! Why?" I asked nearly yelling.
"If you wanna forget about Sharpay, talk to her. You guys could become friends…or maybe something more."
"Taylor!" I reached across the table and smacked Taylors arm.
"Okay, I'm kidding about becoming more than friends. But seriously, get to Know Amber. And I also think you could play with Sharpay's feelings. How does she really feel about breaking up with you? Maybe she regrets it."
"Taylor, that's mean."
"Gabriella, you're the one who wanted to know if Sharpay still likes you. Just hang around Amber a lot and watch and see how Sharpay feels about it." Taylor said taking a look at her cell phone.
"You're the one who said to forget about her."
"Well, I may have said that. But if you want the truth…I suggest you try to find out." While Taylor looked at her phone I took a glance at Amber. She looked over and winked at me as she grabbed her coffee from the counter. I quickly looked away and back at my coffee.
I heard a sigh from Taylor. "Well listen, I gotta go home. I forgot I had to be back at my house by 3." She took her cell and put it in her pocket.
"How am I supposed to get home?" I asked raising my eye brows.
"Maybe Amber can take you home?" Taylor asked smirking.
"What? I-," Taylor cut me off and called out to Amber.
"Hey Amber!!" she yelled to the counter.
"What no! Taylor!" Taylor just laughed. I hid my face as Amber walked over with coffee in hand.
"Hey, what's up?" She asked.
"Gabriella here needs some company while I leave. Do you think you could hang out with her and possibly take her home?" Taylor asked very nicely.
"Yeah, I can do that." I groaned and removed my hands. I looked up and saw Amber smiling at me.
"Well Gabriella, I will call you tonight to see how you are doing." Taylor smiled before walking out the doors of the coffee shop. I looked back across from me and saw Amber sitting where Taylor once was.
"So Gabriella, um how are things?" She asked before sipping her coffee.
"Well besides trying to get over the recent breakup with Sharpay, nothing has changed. What about you?" I asked going to pick up my coffee.
"Um, well I—"
"OWWW! Dammit!" I yelled, hopefully no one besides Amber heard me.
"Gabriella, what happened?" She asked.
"I think I burned myself…" I gazed over my hand for any red marks.
"Here, let me see." Amber gently grabbed my hand and scanned it for any red marks. "Well, you don't have any marks on your hand."
"Well, I guess I should be careful next time picking up my coffee." I slightly laughed looking at her, and for the first time we locked eyes, that's when I didn't realize our hands were still touching.
"Um…" I slowly broke our gaze and pulled my hand away. Wow that was awkward.
Sharpay and Ryan. Shar's
We entered the coffee shop, and guess who I saw. Gabriella talking to Amber, what the hell was she doing here with Amber? And….oh my gosh! Why are they holding hands? This doesn't make any sense! With me already confused and irritated I dragged my brother to the counter.
Back with Gabi and Amber.
"So um, why were you here with Taylor?" Amber asked me.
"Oh, just to talk about science class. What are you doing here?"
"I just wanted some coffee, is that a crime?" She asked smirking. I smiled slightly and looked down. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Sharpay and her brother. Oh the universe must hate me today!
"Gabriella are you okay?" She asked me cocking her head to the right.
"Yeah I'm fine. Why?" I replied, and wow she looked cute doing that. Ahh, what am I saying?
"No reason," That's when she looked over and saw Sharpay and her brother.
"Who's that?" She asked pointing to Ryan in the pink button up shirt.
"Ryan, Sharpay's brother." I said before I took a sip of my coffee.
"Oh…." Just then I felt her brush her leg against mine, it actually felt…nice. Glancing up I saw Sharpay glare at us as she made her way to a window Table with her brother, coffee in hand. I stared at her for a few more seconds till she looked up at me. I gave her a slight smile before turning back to Amber.

"Really," I asked laughing hysterically.
"No joke, it actually happened!" Amber replied laughing.
"That is just crazy!" I laughing subsided and I glanced at my cell. 7:30. Have I really been here for 3 hours? "Amber it's getting late…" She also glanced at her cell.
"Yeah, I guess your right. Come one." We both got out of our chairs and into the darkness.
"My car is this way." She grabbed my hand ever so gently and pulled me along to her black mini cooper.
"Nice car." I told her letting go of her hand, making my way over to the passenger side.
"Thanks, what kind of car do you have?" She asked unlocking the car doors.
"Oh, I have a red corvette." I said getting in the mini cooper before shutting the door.
"Wow, that's awesome! I would kill to have that kind of car!" I giggled as she started the car. "All buckled up?" She asked as she put on her seatbelt.
"Yuppers, ready to go." I replied, she smiled and pulled out the parking lot onto the streets.

We finally reached my street due to the wrong roads she took, but oh well.
"So, which house is yours?" She asked now driving slowly.
"The one on the right," I said pointing. Amber pulled in my driveway and stopped the car. I unbuckled my seatbelt and looked at Amber. "Thanks for the ride." I smiled.
"No problem," She replied as I opened the door.
"Oh and Gabriella…." I looked back at her.
"Hmmm?"
"I had a really fun time tonight." She said seriously but smiling.
"I'm glad, me too. Bye Amber."
"Bye…" I shut the door and made my way to the front door. Boy did I have things to explain to Taylor
