Chapter 5

The next night Gabriella and the girls were at Taylor's house getting ready for the dance. Taylor was going as a doctor, Martha was going as a cheerleader, Kelsi as an angel and Gabriella had taken Taylor's advice and was going as a Devil Princess.

"Wow Brie you look gorgeous!" said a very stunned Taylor.

Gabriella blushed at her comment.

"Troy is going to be drooling over her" Kelsi whispered to the rest of the girls. They all nodded their heads in agreement and giggled quietly.

Just then there was a knock at the door. Gabriella ran down the stairs quickly and opened the door. When the door opened Troy stood there staring at Gabriella. "Wow she looks so sexy!" he thought.

"Hey Troy" said an equally stunned Gabriella. Troy had decided to go as Prince Charming and "boy did he look cute" thought Gabriella.

Troy felt himself getting very hot and flustered. He gulped and replied with a strangled "hey, ready to go?"

"Are you okay Troy?" asked a concerned Gabriella.

"Yeah"

"Okay, let me just get my bag and we can go."

So she ran upstairs and yelled "I'm going see you guys later!"

"Okay!" the girls yelled back.

"Good luck!" yelled Taylor.

Gabriella blushed then ran back downstairs

Whilst downstairs

"Okay Troy you can do this" he thought . "It's just Gabriella. Yeah the girl you're in love with"

Gabriella came down, grabbed her bag and her and Troy went to the dance.

At the dance Troy and Gabriella were enjoying themselves: they were laughing with their friends, sharing drinks, if anyone were to look over at them you would think they were a couple.

At this very moment they were dancing when suddenly at the top of the stairs stood a beautiful girl in a white gown and she was wearing a white sequin mask. Everyone in the crowd turned to look at her as she walked down the stairs including Troy, much to Gabriella's disappointment. Sharpay saw her date looking at her as well and frowned.

Everyone started dancing again and Troy left Gabriella in the middle of the dance floor and went over to the beautiful girl and held his hand out to her to ask for a dance, she took his hand and they began to dance. Gabriella was heartbroken, She thought maybe, just maybe there was a chance Troy liked her when he asked her to the dance but of course she was wrong. Troy's dad also saw the couple dancing and Gabriella standing on her own and shook his head, "he will just never learn." he thought.

It was just before midnight and Troy was leaning in to kiss the mysterious Cinderella, when her cell phone went off, Troy begged her not to go, but she apologised and ran off. Troy stood there hypnotized by the mysterious girl who had caught his eye. Gabriella saw him staring and thought to herself "I'll never be good enough for him." then she sighed as a single tear ran down her face.

Well there you go.

Please review and tell me what you think.
