I don't own any of the characters in this story except for Candice. Troy, Gabriella, Chad, and Sharpay are owned by Disney. This is my first story, so I hope you enjoy!
Gabriella's POV
Troy and I used to date until we broke up at the start of college. We are now best friends and we live in the same apartment complex with Sharpay and Chad. We all live on the same floor but in different rooms. Sharpay is currently in my room and we are planning on going to Troy's room to hang out with him and Chad. Troy started dating again 2 years after we broke up, according to Sharpay. I started dating again too, but it never worked out. I am now in my last year of college and I am graduating in a month. Troy is getting married to a girl who is super nice and I have to watch him get married to her. Here's my story.
In the apartment complex the month before Gabi graduated from College. (Troy graduated before her, because they went to different schools).
*Sharpay and Gabi headed to Troy's room* *They knock on the door* *Troy answers the door*
"Hey guys" Troy said while opening the door
"Hey Troy" Sharpay and Gabi said while walking into his apartment
Chad saw the girls walk in and went up to hug them
"Hey Chad" Sharpay and Gabi said while giving him a hug
**They all sat down on the couch talking**
"So what are you guys doing here?" Troy asked
"Oh, you know we were bored and wanted to hang out." Sharpay said
"You were bored?" Troy asked
"Yeah, we were bored, got a problem with that Troy?" Gabi replied
"No, I don't have a problem with that. I've just been trying to get Chad out of my apartment because I'm leaving soon and now that you guys are here, it's going to take even longer to get you guys out of here." Troy said
"Oh, sorry we didn't know you were trying to get Chad out. Where do you have to go anyway?" Gabi asked
"Umm…" Troy said while nervously rubbing his neck
"Umm? C'mon Troy, where are you going?" Gabi asked
"I'm uh going to meet Candice." Troy said nervously
"Who's Candice?" Gabi asked
"Troy's girlfriend, duh, who else would it be?" Chad said
Sharpay hit him on the back of the head as he wasn't supposed to say anything to Gabi about Troy's girlfriend.
"Girlfriend?" Gabi asked
"Yeah" Troy said
"Why didn't you tell me you have a girlfriend, Troy?" Gabriella asked without trying to cry
"Umm, well I didn't really think it was important" Troy replied
"How is it not important? I tell you about all the guys that I'm with." Gabi said
"I guess it just wasn't that big of a deal." Troy said
"How is not a big deal? Do Sharpay and Chad know?" Gabi asked
"Yeah, they know. They've known for a while." Troy said
"Who else knew?" Gabi asked
"Umm, mostly every one of our friends." Troy replied
"Wow, great so I was the last one to know. Thanks a lot Troy. I thought we were best friends." Gabi asked.
"I'm sorry, I wanted to tell you but I didn't want to make you jealous." Troy said
"JEALOUS?" Gabi screamed
"Yeah, you get kinda jealous when I'm with someone. That's probably why you're relationships have ended so quickly." Troy said
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?" Gabi screamed
"Gabi, please calm down. You're over reacting. I'm just telling you what I've seen." Troy said
"CALM DOWN? YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN AFTER WHAT YOU JUST SAID TO ME?"Gabi screamed
"Please, just please calm down." Troy said
Gabi slowly calmed down not wanting to make Troy get a noise complaint.
"So what are you meeting her for?" Gabi asked
"Umm well I'm going to meet her at her favorite restaurant because I've got a surprise for her there that I want her to see." Troy said
"What kind of a surprise?" Gabi asked
"Ummm, a proposal kind?" Troy said
"What?" Sharpay said with her mouth open
"Dude, why didn't you tell me you were proposing to Candice today?" Chad asked
"Chad, I already told you two days ago, and Sharpay, yeah I'm proposing today." Troy replied
Gabriella being really upset got up and walked out of the apartment
"Gabi!" Sharpay screamed after her
"I gotta go. When you get back today, I'm calling you to talk about this Troy." Sharpay said
Sharpay got up and also walked out of the room to chase after Gabby.
"Wow, you just made them leave Troy. That's a nice way to clear the room." Chad said
Troy hit him on the back of his head. "I didn't mean to make them leave this way, Chad" Troy said
"Well, if you didn't mention that you were leaving, this wouldn't have happened, now would it?" Chad said
"No it wouldn't have happened, but this is your entire fault. I told you not to mention say that Candice was my girlfriend in front of Gabi and you did." Troy said
"Well what was I supposed to say? She was asking, and no one was saying anything, so I jumped in and gave her an answer." Chad said
"You could've at least said she was a family friend or something." Troy said
"Oh, I didn't think of that. I'm sorry." Chad said
"Whatever, now I need to get ready to leave and I have to think about how to talk to Gabi once I get home" Troy said.
"So does that mean I have to leave then?" Chad asked
"Yeah, it means you have to leave Chad." Troy replied
**Chad left Troy's apartment. ** **Troy got ready and left the apartment building. **
Gabi's POV
I can't believe he didn't tell me he had a girlfriend. I can't believe that he told everyone but me. He's supposed to be my best friend. Sharpay is supposed to be my best friend too. She should've said something to me. He's the reason why I'm crying now. That should've been me he that he proposed to, not her, whoever she is.
**Sharpay knocks on Gabi's door**
Gabi walks up to the door and looks through the peep hole to see Sharpay at the other side of the door.
"What do you want?" Gabi said through the door
"Can we please talk?" Sharpay said
"No. You could've told me or at least given me some warning." Gabi said
"No I couldn't. He told me not to say anything and as his friend I had to keep the promise. It would be the same if we were in opposite situations." Sharpay said
"Your right, it would've been the same if we were in the opposite situation. I'm kinda glad Chad was the one who spilled it instead of you and Troy cuz it would've hurt more coming from you guys." Gabi said
Gabi sighed and opened the door to let Sharpay in
Sharpay comes in and closes the door behind her while Gabi goes to her couch and sits down.
"So how are you feeling? You just walked out of the room without saying anything." Sharpay asked
"Fine I guess. I'm just really upset and pissed. It hurts because that should've been me not her, or at least I hope it should've been me. I feel like he knows I like him and he's doing this on purpose so that it gets to me." Gabi replied
"You know that he would never do that to you. Besides, he's totally oblivious to the fact that you're still in love with him. Everyone knows for a fact that if you guys were still together it would've been you he'd be proposing to, not her." Sharpay said
"Thanks, Shar. With Taylor in a different state for school, you're the only other friend that I can go to." Gabi said
"No problem Gabi. Anyway, Taylor's graduating in a week, so she'll definitely be here after she graduates cuz we all know she's gonna be coming for Chad." Sharpay said
"How come Taylor and Chad can make it work, but Troy and I couldn't?" Gabi asked
"I don't know Gabi." Sharpay said
"It seems kind of suspicious though. He always told me that he'd find a way to make it work, but after he dumped me it doesn't seem like it anymore." Gabi said
"Yeah it does seem a little weird. I've never asked him about it before. I think everyone thinks it's weird too but no one wants to bring it up because they don't want it to be a pain for Troy to talk about." Sharpay said
"I feel much better knowing that I'm not the only one who thinks this." Gabi said
"Believe me, you're not. We all know that Troy's the kind of person who would do anything for love and when you guys broke up before college, we all knew something was up." Sharpay said
"Yeah, I thought that too. He's lucky I forgave him so easily cuz if not, I would've so pissed at him, I would've hated him, etc. I just can't believe he's proposing to a girl that I've never met before. That's something big to hide from your best friend." Gabi said
"Yeah, that's true. She's really nice though. I've met her a couple of times." Sharpay said.
"You did?" Gabi said
"Yup."Sharpay replied
"Well I'm tired, so you gotta get your little butt outta here." Gabi said
"OK, OK, I'm leaving. Don't think about it too much. I don't like seeing you this upset." Sharpay said
"OK. I'm probably gonna cry myself to sleep because of it." Gabi said
"No, don't do that, crying yourself to sleep isn't good." Sharpay said
"Whatever. I'm tired." Gabi said
"OK, well I'm leaving then. Bye." Sharpay said while getting up and walking out the door
Troy's POV
This is so nerve-wracking. Hopefully everything goes according to plan. I still need to think about what to say to Gabi though. She's definitely upset.
Candice walks into the restaurant and gets escorted to her seat.
Troy got up and pulled out Candice's seat so she could sit down.
"Hey, how's everything going?" Troy said when Candice sat down
"Good, everything's going well. Are you okay? You look really nervous." Candice said
"Yeah, I'm fine." Troy said
"So are we going to order? I'm starving." Candice said
"Yeah sure, let me get the waiter." Troy said
The waiter walked over and took their order.
"So what's up?" Candice said
"Oh, well I had a very interesting day." Troy said
"You did?" Candice said
"Yup. Well Chad was over and I was trying to get him to leave when there was a knock at the door and in walked Sharpay and Gabi. We were all talking and then I asked them why they were here and they told me that they were bored, and then I said that I was trying to get Chad out of my apartment. I was asked why and I said that it was because I was meeting you later…" Troy said
"Wait, if Gabi was there, didn't she wonder why who I was?" Candice asked
"Yeah, she asked and then Chad stupidly said that you were my girlfriend and she was really upset." Troy said
"She was upset?" Candice said
"Yup. She was really upset. She asked why I didn't tell her and who else knew." Troy said
"Really? What did you tell her?" Candice asked
"I told her the reason why I didn't tell her and I told her that everyone knew. She was really pissed." Troy said
"Yeah, I would be too if I was in the same situation." Candice said
"Yeah that's understandable. She's really pissed though. I'm trying to think about what to say to her to get her to talk to me again." Troy said
"Why don't you introduce us? I think she might like that." Candice said
"Yeah, I might do that." Troy said
Right then the food came. After they finished eating, they were brought champagne. Candice and Troy are given the champagne glasses. Candice is about to drink her's when she sees something inside.
"Oh My God! Troy!. What is this?" Candice screamed
"It's an engagement ring. Will you marry me?" Troy asked
"YES!" Candice screamed
After proposing, Troy and Candice went back to Troy's apartment since Candice lived far away and would get back to her house really late at night.
Gabi's POV
Gabi heard her cell phone vibrating. She got up and answered it.
"Hello?" Gabi said tiredly
"Gabi?" Troy asked
"Oh, hey Troy" Gabi said tiredly
"Are you sleeping?" Troy asked
"Yeah, I was until you're phone call woke me up." Gabi replied
"Sorry about that. Is it a good time for you to come over?" Troy asked
"I'm sorry Troy, but I'm really tired. Can I come over tomorrow?" Gabi replied
"Yeah, sure then." Troy said
"OK, thanks. I'll see you tomorrow then." Gabi said
"OK, bye." Troy said
"Bye" Gabi said
They both hang up and Gabi goes back to bed.
Troy's POV
Wow, I didn't know that Gabi slept this early. I guess I'll have to introduce the two of them to each other tomorrow. Candice had heard the whole conversation since it was on speaker phone.
"Candice, I'm sorry. Is it okay if you meet her tomorrow before you go back to your house?" Troy asked
"Yeah sure. I had a great night by the way. I was definitely in for a shock." Candice said
"Your welcome. I was hoping that you would be shocked." Troy said
After their conversation, Troy and Candice went to bed.
OK, that's the end of the first chapter. I know it's not Troyella yet, but I promise that we will get there. I'm sorry if it's boring, I'll try to make it better. Thanks for reading and enjoy. Please review! :)
Thanks!
