"TROY get your behind out of bed or I'll drag you out mister. You have an important game today and you need to be at school if you want to play."
Troy rolled out of bed and shut his eyes almost immediately, the sun was shining through the blinds making his eyes hurt. He reached for his drawers and pulled it open, grabbing a clean white t-shirt and threw it on. Troy got ready for school and grabbed his car keys then off to school he went.
"Hi Troy."
"Hey cutie."
"Troy baby."
"Call me later?"
"Hey Troy, want to hang out tonight?"
Those words were the buzz that Troy had been hearing every time he walks through the doors of East High. Here stood the most popular kid of East High; he had everything that a guy could dream of. Over the years, Troy had changed throughout. He use to be a normal teenager who some people knew and some people didn't. He had the best of friends and a great family and now he's living the good life.
"No can do, I gotta basketball game tonight." He told the girl he turned down then walked with his best friends Chad and Zeke towards the gym. "Tonight is gonna be so sick, we're gonna slaughter West High."
"Seriously though, this is a rematch that's gonna go down in East high history." Zeke spoke as he spun the basketball on his finger.
Chad leaned against Troy's locker and lifted one foot and placed it on the locker. "I bet Dylan will be pleased to see you again, Troy."
The hallway was crowded with kids trying to get to their lockers and classes.
"Hah, that kid has nothing on me." Troy spoke as he grabbed his books for his class. "His ass was lucky last time that we beat us. If I didn't get injured from snowboarding then we would've won."
"I know huh." Zeke sighed and looked down the hallway. "Girlfriends alert."
Chad looked down the hall and saw the three girls who pretty much owned the school. He walked over to Taylor and kissed her. "Hey baby."
"Hey." She giggled softly and wrapped her arm around his neck.
Zeke walked over to Sharpay and wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled at her. These two could be considered the two oddest couple but yet again no one could be as cute as them.
Sharpay linked her hand with his and smiled. "Hey guys." She said to them then laid her head on his chest.
Kylie wrapped her arms around Troy from behind him and smiled. "Hey you." She whispered in his ears and kissed it softly.
Troy turned his head then turned his whole body around to hug her and kiss her. "Hey." He said simply.
Now these two were the ultimate couple, no one could beat them. They were so cute and faithful to each other. They treat each other nicely, they don't get into fights so much, and they're so involved with everything.
"So what are we doing after the game?" Kylie asked.
"Depends if we win or not." Chad spoke.
"Why's that?" Taylor looked up at him and asked him. She grabbed her bag higher on her shoulder and placed her hand on her waist.
Troy laughed softly, "We won't be in the mood to do anything if we lose." He told her the reason why and it was a good reason.
"But the thing is, you guys won't lose. They won't beat us, not this year because we're 12-0 baby!" Kylie said.
The six of them laughed and headed off to class together which ironically they all had together. Troy and Kylie were of course holding hands and walking in front of everyone else. You could say they were the cuter couple but people still think Zeke and Sharpay are.
"Okay settle down class." Ms. Darbus began to hush the class and began on her announcements. "As we all know, tonight's game is going to be very important." A few people in the class began cheering and making whistling noises as they were so excited for the game. "Shush up class." The class began quiet.
"We need to win this to keep West High out of play-offs…" Ms. Darbus finished the last of the announcement and then the bell rung. Everyone left the class and headed towards their class.
The rest of the day went as steady and fun. They had a pep rally during lunch to get pumped for the game. Troy of course was being carried by his team and the cheerleaders which included his girlfriend were cheering for him. After school, Troy got dressed and headed over to the gym for the practicing session. Coach gave them a lecture about how today they needed to play their hearts out. Of course, Troy got a mini-lecture after everyone left.
"Dad, I mean Coach, don't worry we got this game in the bag."
"I do not want any distractions tonight okay. Especially Kylie, I know she can be a real big one." He said to Troy.
Troy shook his head, "leave her out of this, I play fine with her cheering me on." Troy got dressed and left the gym, heading for the guys house for the pre-game time.
"Do you think your dad is overreacting a little?"
"A little? Try a lot. I mean we're in play offs I don't understand why he wants to win so badly." Troy said while grabbing bottled water.
"Maybe it's the undefeated season. We're so close it's crazy." One of the basketball teammates said. "And also maybe he doesn't want the Knights to go to playoffs too."
Troy shrugged, "I suppose."
Chad jumped off the counter and walked in front of Troy, "We got this, they're ready for the game but I don't think they're ready for us."
"Remember, what team? Wildcats all the way." Zeke silently said but loud enough for everyone to hear.
The guys cheered and hung out until the game had started. Once the game had started, the guys headed over to the gym together. The staffs were setting up for the game and the band started to pile in. Troy was the last one to leave the locker room as his coach walked over to him. "Keep your head in the game okay Troy?"
"Yes sir."
Troy left the locker room and saw people already in the gym wearing school color. Everyone cheered as Troy ran out and began doing some warm up shots. When Troy went to tie his shoes, he saw the Knight Basketball boys coming in and began warming up. He heard the East high fans booing and the Knights fan cheering. This definitely was going to be a game to remember. As the noise got louder the band got louder. It was hard for Troy to talk to his teammates. The refs called the two captains over to shake hand and whatnot.
"Well, well, well if it isn't Mr. Big Shot Troy Bolton." Dylan stuck his hand out towards Troy.
Troy smirked. "It's okay to lose Dylan, I know how you feel…oh wait, no I don't we're undefeated." Troy shook his hand and smirked. "Don't worry; I'll make sure I will go easy on you." Troy taunted Dylan and walked back to his team to talk to them.
"Don't worry about winning, all that a matter is playing your time." Troy spoke. The ref blew the whistle as the scoreboard buzzed. Everyone got in their positions to tip off. Troy stood in the back and got everyone pumped as the ball was thrown. It was hit back to Troy. He began dribbling it. Up the court he went, passing it to Jason and then went to go screen and then ran towards the post spot. He placed his hand up for the ball and wasn't open so he ran to the three point spot. He reached for the ball and received a pass from Chad. He pivoted then dribbled and step back and shot a three pointer. Swish. The gym went roaring as Troy made a three point shot. Kylie rubbed her pompoms together and cheered for him. "That's how you do it." He said to Dylan as he was passing him to go back towards the court.
The game went pretty well, first half stayed pretty close it was 34-39 lead for the Wildcats.
The start of second half went smoothly as they played, the Knights were down two as Troy was taking it up the court, as he went up for the shot he was blocked by Dylan. The gym went silent and Dylan stood in front of Troy. "WHAT NOW!"
Troy shook his head and threw the ball at the wall, causing him a technical.
"Technical number 14, one shot."
Dylan went to go shoot the basket and made it. Now it was a one point game as it was fourth quarter. Wildcats had called a time out and then they began calling a play. Troy took the ball up the court and as he was passing half court, someone caught his eyes. He gazed and squinted, seeing someone who made his heart stop. The ball was stolen by Dylan and went for a layup which gave the Knights a one point lead. Coach threw his clipboard on the ground and sat back down.
"Dude what the hell are you doing?!"
Troy got the ball and ran up the court, he saw it was 5.5 seconds left, he could hear the crowd counting down. He passed the ball to Chad and his eyes landed back on the person. He couldn't believe it, he just couldn't believe it.
Swish.
BUZZZZZZZ.
"WILDCATS WIN IT! CHAD MADE THE WINNING SHOT!" The crowd went roaring with happiness and cheers. Everyone put Chad up in the air but Troy stood there close to the guys.
Here he stood, looking at Gabriella Montez and he was shocked.
REVIEW PLEASE! I know it was short. Ah. But next chapter will explain more about the GM and TB thing. I might have writers block soon so sorry if I don't update soon.
