Chapter 8

Gabi's POV

After the crying incident, Troy and I has gotten closer and closer. We started off as acquaintances and then became friends. Now, we were really good friends.

Of course our parents were shocked at first, but they were really glad that we are getting along. That made them really happy. Especially Mum and Auntie Lucille. I was daydreaming in my room and my phone rang.

"Hello?" I said.

"Mija?"

It was my mum. She told me that Uncle Jack suggested that Troy and I should spend the day together while the adults have the day to themselves. Troy walked in and I smiled. He smiled back at me. Then, he scratched the back of his head. He always does that when he's nervous. Wonder what he's up to.

"Um, Brie?"

My heart melted. I loved this nickname he came up for me. He was the only person who could call me this, not even my mum. Just like the nicknames Chad and I made for each other.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Well err…Since we're free tonight, I was wondering…"

He paused for moment. Maybe he's going to ask me out? Don't be silly, we're just friends, why on Earth would he do that?

"Ifyouwannagooutwithme?"

I understood his words completely. Sharpay and I always talk really fast on the phone. It's a dream come true! I told you so! Shut it inner me.

"Sure!" I said.

I felt my cheeks growing red. I'm so excited.

"I'll meet you at the lobby in an hour?" Troy said nervously.

"Okay!"

I smiled at him. He left the room and went to the pool for a swim. Oh. My. Freakin'. God. Troy asked me on a date! This is the best day of my life! How am I supposed to get ready in an hour?! God, I sound like Sharpay. Then it clicked me. That's it! Sharpay!

I quickly dialed her number and waited for her to pick up the phone.

"Hello?" Said Sharpay.

"Hey Shar! It's me, Gabriella."

"Ella! I missed you so much!"

"You too. Um listen, I have a date with-" I started.

However, Sharpay cut me off. Just as I expected.

"Omigosh! You have a date?! Who is it? A cute Hawaii surfer? Is he hot? Ella I'm so happy for you."

I groaned inwardly and rolled my eyes. She sure is a drama queen.

"I'll tell you when I come back. Anyways, I need your help. I have one hour to get ready but I have no clue what to wear."

"Well you can wear…"

For the next fifteen minutes, I used it just to pick an outfit with the help of my bestie. It was worth it. I started doing my make up and styled my hair. I still have ten minutes left. I took a selfie and sent it to the girls.

WildcatBrie14: Not telling…G2g…Ttyl…Bye!

I turned off my phone and grinned slightly. I swear my friends are acting more like Sharpay these days. I looked into the mirror one last time and left my hotel room. I got into an elevator and went to the lobby. Troy was waiting for me there. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and walked towards him with a smile on my face.

It's now or never.
