Hello, this will be the story update for 2 weeks. I'm leaving for vacation in a few days. So you guys might be waiting a while for the next chapter. Hope you like this chapter. :D
Last time: "By 10:30. I got it mom." I said heading out the door.
"Have fun!" She yelled as I closed the door.
"I'll try to!" I replied back to her.
"Hey Gabriella, you look nice." She said standing there by her car.
"Thanks, you too." I said. We both headed to her car. She got into the drivers seat as I got into the passenger seat. Amber started the car now backing up onto the street for our 10 minute drive to the park.
We pulled into the parking lot seeing a bright orange and yellow light up ahead along with people. I got out of the car wondering how this night was going to turn out. Hopefully this night will be okay.
Amber held my hand as we made our way to the group.
"Hey guys!" I said sitting down on a log, Amber sitting next to me. They all said hello to us except for Chad who had his mouth full of marshmallows. Taylor slapped the back of his head making everyone laugh.
"Hey, what was that for?" He asked before shoving more marshmallows into his mouth.
"Stop eating all the marshmallows! And say hi to Gabriella and Amber!" Taylor said yelling at her boyfriend.
"Hey…" Chad said with his mouth full. We just laughed at Chad. I looked away from Chad scanning the group not seeing Sharpay.
"Hey Troy, where's Sharpay?" I asked.
"Oh, she's behind the trees by the lake." I said thanks getting up letting go of Amber's hand going behind the trees. Sharpay was sitting on a blanket by the lake with her legs against her chest, her arms wrapped around them. Sharpay also had her guitar and notepad next to her. I came up quietly behind her.
"Hey Sharpay," I said sitting down next to her, my legs stretched out in front of me.
"Hi Gabriella," She said now in the position I was in.
"Um, what are you doing out here? Aren't you supposed to be with the rest of the group?" I asked her looking out onto the water.
"Oh, I don't know…" She said. "I guess I needed to be alone." Sharpay said now facing me. I turned my head looking at her.
"Well it is quite peaceful out here." I said.
"Yeah it is. So uh, you and Amber, what's up with that Gabriella?" She asked kinda seriously. I looked over to my right sighing.
"Sharpay honestly, I don't know how it happened…it just did. Amber and I are not official. I'm still really confused on if I want to be with her or not." I glanced at Sharpay who was looking down at her feet. I decided to drop the topic sensing Sharpay was uncomfortable. "So what were you writing?" I asked her smiling.
"Just a song!" She replied quickly.
"Can I hear it?" I asked her sweetly moving closer to her.
"No," Sharpay said playfully.
"Aww, why not?" I asked putting my pouty face on. Sharpay laughed at me.
"Gabriella, as cute as you look. No." She said. All the sudden an idea came into my mind.
"I know how to get you to play it for me." I said deviously facing Sharpay.
"Oh no, don't you dare Gabriella!" Sharpay moved away from me.
"Then play me the song." I moved closer to her.
"The answer is still no." She said.
"Okaaayyyy," I grabbed her sides hovering above her. "You asked for it!" I started tickling instantly making her laugh.
"Gabbbii…staa…stop!" She managed to say. I just continued to tickle her as she erupted into more giggles. "Pa…please?" She asked not being able to control her laughter.
"Okay…fine…" I gave in knowing she still wasn't going to play that song for me. I stopped tickling her letting her catch her breath. I was still aware that I was on top of her. My hands were now on either side of her head.
"Don't you ever do that again!" She said finally being able to breathe again. We stared at each other for a few minutes until she spoke up.
"Hey, you're wearing that jacket I gave you." Sharpay said looking at it.
"Yeah, it's my favorite jacket. You gave it to me." I told her smiling.
"Gabriella! Gabriella! Are you over there?" Amber's voice called out. I rolled my eyes getting off Sharpay so she could sit up.
"Yes I'm over here! I'll be there in a second!" I yelled back. I gazed over at Sharpay who was sitting up. "Are you coming?" I asked putting my hands in my jacket.
"Yeah, just give me a few seconds." She said.
"Okay," I took one final look at her before walking over to the trees. Amber came through the trees smiling. Once I met up at her distance she linked arms with me.
*Sharpay's P.O.V*
I smiled to myself at what had just happened between me and Gabriella. I really liked it. We actually had a really nice moment with each other until Amber ruined it. I sat in silence for a few moments before gathering my things to back over to the group. I got my stuff heading back to where everyone was.
*Back with Amber and Gabriella.*
Amber led me back to where we were once sitting. We sat down next to each other with her head now leaning on my shoulder. I didn't mind this at all for some reason. Sharpay now appeared from the trees with her guitar and notebook. She took a quick glance at me before taking a seat next to Troy who was telling everyone the time Chad fell down the lunch room stairs. The night consisted of roasting marshmallows, or the remaining ones Chad didn't eat. Telling ghost stories, and even singing. Sharpay played the gutair when we sang. Of course Jason and Chad were not interested. It was now getting colder due to the wind and snow coming down on us. I mean it is winter and of course it's going to snow.
"Hey Gabriella," Amber whispered in my ear. "It's getting late. I think we should get going." She said. I checked my phone seeing it was 10:17.
"Yeah we should." We both stood up our arms still linked with each other's. "Well bye guys…" They all said goodbye to us before they went back to telling stories. We both got into the car kind of cold. Amber turned the car on also turning on the heat.
"Don't worry it should warm up in a few minutes." She said backing up out of the parking lot and onto the road. Suddenly her phone went off. She picked it up putting it to her ear. "Hello? Yes I'm on my way…I know…I'm sorry…see you in 10 minutes…K bye." Amber hung up her phone putting it in her center council.
"Who was that? Not to be nosey…" I wondered staring out onto the white and black road.
"Oh, it was just my friend Sarah. Her parents are in Colorado for a business trip, so she's staying with us." Amber told me stopping at stop sign before moving forward again.
"How come I haven't seen her before?" I asked now looking at her.
"Sarah goes to West High. But she's coming to Winterfest."
"Is she allowed to?" I asked.
"Yeah, I talked to the principal about it. She filled out a guest form and everything." Amber turned left onto my street.
"Cool, I guess I will see her then and of course you." I said smiling at her. Amber pulled up onto my driveway stopping. "Thanks for driving me Amber." I unlocked the door.
"No problem," I was about to open my door when Amber pulled me back into her car. I looked at her puzzled. Amber pulled me closer kissing me on the cheek. "Goodnight Gabriella…" Amber smiled at me as I pulled away from her.
"Goodnight Amber," I smiled back at her exiting her car shutting the door. I walked into my dark house guessing that my mom was a sleep. I quietly went up the stairs into my door shutting the door slowly. Glancing at the clock I read it was 10:25. I should probably get to bed since I'm helping Sharpay in Chemistry tomorrow.
I slowly and tiredly opened my eyes seeing what time my clock read. It was only 9:55…wait a second…Oh shit! I had to meet Sharpay in 35 minutes! Crap! I scrambled out my bed into my bathroom to get ready. 30 minutes later I walked out of my house into my car. I took out my phone pressing the number 5, I had Sharpay on speed dial.
"Hey Gabriella, what's up?"
"Hey Sharpay, I woke up late, so I just wanted to tell you I'm going to be 7 or 10 minutes late. I'm sorry." I said pulling out of my driveway.
"It's okay Gabriella, just get when you can. See you soon Gabriella." She said through the phone.
"Alright, bye Sharpay." I hung up my phone setting it down in center council.
I ran inside the building looking for Sharpay. I saw her in the same spot we were in yesterday. I made my way over to where she was. Sharpay was starring out the window with a pencil in her hand. She was probably thinking.
"Hello Sharpay," I said smiling sitting down across from her. She faced me with the similar smile I gave her.
"Hey Gabriella…" She set her pencil down.
"So, what have you started working on?" I asked pulling her worksheets closer to me so I can be able to read them.
"Well, I started working on reactants and chemical equations and stuff, but it got confusing. So I decided to work on matching the element with the symbol. So far I was able to match the easiest ones."
"That's good." I scanned over what she had done already. "Okay, let's do some harder ones. Then we'll look at what you were doing before." I covered up the element symbols on her periodic table and gave it to her. "What is the symbol for potassium?" I asked her.
"Um…is it….K?"
"Yes it is! Okay next one, the symbol for tin?" I asked her as she gazed down at the table.
"Uh…I?" She asked hopefully. I shook my head.
"Nope, try again."
"Is it Sn?" Sharpay was right!
"Yep," We did about 10 more of those which Sharpay got them all right. "Sharpay you're really good at this. Are you sure you need my help?" I asked as I put the papers back in her binder taking out the chemical equations papers.
"Well I guess I just need review."She smiled at me. "But I really do need help with chemical equations." She said leaning over the table towards me.
"That's what we are going to work on now." Sharpay and I worked on chemistry until we got tired of it. So about 1 hour. Sharpay put her stuff away back in her binder before putting it in her pink sparkly bag. My phone buzzed signaling I had either a text or a voicemail. I glanced down at my cell pushing the enter button to access it. The text was from Amber.
Hey Gabi, how would u like 2 meet Sarah?
-Amber xoxo

-Gabriella
A few seconds later she responded

-Amber xoxo
I replied back,
Yeah, see u then.
-Gabriella
I put my phone down now looking at Sharpay who was texting someone else before looking back up at me.
"Sorry I gotta go. Ryan is having difficulties finding supplies for Winterfest." She told me rolling her eyes. "Ryan can be so stupid sometimes." I laughed slightly, Sharpay grabbed her bag walking over to me. For the first time in 1 week she hugged me. I hugged her back smiling. "I will see you later Sharpay."
"Yeah, oh and thanks for helping me in chemistry." She said zipping up her coat.
"No problem Sharpay." We both smiled at each other one more time as she headed for the door.
