Tonight is the night of our school's winter game against the North High Kings. The whole school was hyped for it and couldn't wait for Zeke and the team to bring us to victory. Everyone was excited whereas I just wanted to get the game over with so our winter break could start and because Alex and mines birthday party is tomorrow. I may be the smartest girl here, but that doesn't mean that I don't need a break from school. Anyway the dance team and I were in the gym stretching along with the basketball team as everyone started coming in.
"Hey Gabi." I heard a voice that I hated say.
"What do you want Jackson." I said as I turned to see Robert Jackson smirking at me.
He was on the basketball team with Jason and Zeke and he's been trying to ask me about since freshman year.
"Well we all know that we are going to win this game, so what do you say about being my date to the after party."
"Sorry, I'm busy." I said as I rolled my eyes and turned back around.
"Oh come on too busy for me." He said with a cheeky smirk.
"I'm always too busy for you, now don't you have a game to be warming up for." I said with my hands on my hips.
"See you after the game babe." He said as he winked at me before running off.
"What did he want?" Taylor asked as she and my sister walked up to me.
"What he always wants." I said simply.
"When is he ever going to learn?" My sister said.
"When pigs fly." I said.
"I guess he won't be flying soon." Alex said as we all laughed before going back to the team.
After the game, which we of course won, the gang and I had to hurry up and kinda sneak out of the school pass all the popular kids. Usually after a big win, we go to the after party, but we had other plans tonight. After what seemed like hours we finally made it to the house we share with the wildcats and walked in.
"Hey. What's up wildcats." Jason said as we walked into the living room.
They were all sitting around watching tv. Alex and Taylor walked over to Ryan and Chad and sat on their laps, Zeke went to go sit by Sharpay on the couch and Jason went to go sit by Kelsi on the floor. Troy had pulled me by my waist and sat me on his lap on the chair closer to the door.
"Hey baby." Troy said as he kissed me.
"Hi." I said with a smile. "
What took you guys so long?" He asked as I laid my head on his chest.
"We had to sneak away from the kids at school." I said.
"Yeah since we won the game they were trying to get us to go to the after party." Jason said.
"Yeah and sneaking away from them was not fun." I mumbled.
"You're just saying that because your little boy toy kept asking you out." Zeke said with a smirk.
"Boy toy?" I winced as I heard Troy say that. I turned and glared at Zeke for bring it up.
"Who's your boy toy?" Troy asked looking at me.
"Robert Jackson" Zeke said quickly as I glared at him again.
"Jackson? Seriously? He's a dork." Chad said laughing.
"Yeah well he's been asking Ella out for the longest." Jason said with a chuckle.
"Has not, only since freshman year."
"Freshman year. Brie, baby either he's going to get the picture or not." Troy said as they laughed.
"I won't be laughing so hard Zeke, seeing as Rebecca hasn't stop meeting you at your locker since 8th grade." I said with smirk as Zeke stop laughing and Sharpay raised an eyebrow.
"Rebecca who?" Sharpay said looking at her boyfriend as I smirked.
"N-no one baby."
"Oh Zeke it's not good to lie to your girlfriend. Go ahead and tell her about Rebecca Johnson. You know Shar, the captain of our volleyball team." I said as Zeke glared at me.
"That bitch!" Sharpay screamed.
Sharpay and Rebecca always bump heads, especially at our games. It got so bad one year both teams were almost disqualified. To be honest if they ever do get into a fight before we graduated, my moneys on Shar.
"I hate you." Zeke said looking at me.
"Love you too." I said with a laugh as I cuddled more into Troy.
Later on that night, I was sitting on my bed looking up college stuff, before I got a text. I picked up my phone and smiled when I saw it was Troy. He told me that he had a surprise for me and wanted me to meet him around the corner in 10 minutes. Once I replied, I started to put on my shoes, when Alex walked in.
"Hey Ella. I need you to cover for me. Ryan just text me and asked me to meet him in 10." Alex said as she sat in one of my chairs that were across the room.
"I can't, Troy just did the same to me."
"Well what are we going to do?" She said as we looked at each other.
'"Eric." We both said as we ran out of my room and towards his. We both walked into Eric's room to see him playing his playstation 3.
"Hey lil bro. We need a favor." I said as we sat on his bed.
"Depends on the favor." He said not taking his eyes off his game.
"We need you to cover for us if mom or dad asks for us. Ryan and Troy need us to meet them." Alex said.
"Ok, but if I get caught, you two owe me big." He said looking at us.
"Thank you." We both said as we kissed each side of his cheek before leaving his room.
We sneak out of the house through my balcony and walked around the corner and down the block until we saw Troy and Ryan in Ryan's car. Alex hopped in the front with Ryan and I hopped in the back with Troy. We both kissed our guy before Ryan pulled off. We of course pulled up to the house but instead of going into the house with my sister and Ryan, Troy took me to the backyard of the house.
"So not that I don't like being with you, but you wanna tell me why you pulled me from my house." I said with a smile as we sat on the hammock.
"You remember when we first actually got to know each other." Troy said as I laid my head on his chest.
"Of course I do. We learned a lot about each other." I said with a smile.
"Yeah that's when I learned you were my soul mate." Troy said as I looked at him with a smile.
"Aw babe." I said as I kissed him.
"Happy Birthday Beautiful." He said as I looked at him confused.
"But my birthday's not until tomorrow." I said.
"Look again." He said as I looked at his watch to see that it said midnight exactly.
I looked up and smiled at him before kissing him. Once we pulled pack, he pulled a box from out of his jacket.
"I wanted to give you your present first, since I figured I might not be able to." He said handing me the box.
I opened it and my jaw dropped as I saw a beautiful diamond heart necklace.
"Troy." I said as I had tears in my eyes.
"Look on the back." I turned the necklace around to see he had it engraved with "You'll always own my heart."
"Aw baby." I said as I turned around and kissed him with all the passion I had.
Once we pulled back the tears that I was holding in started to come out.
"Thank you." I said with a smile.
"You are more the welcome. Just always remember that ok. No matter what happens, you will always own my heart." Troy said as he wiped the tears away.
With Ryan and Alex
"I bet you're wondering why I asked to meet you." Ryan said as they walked into their "room".
"Yes I would like to know that." Alex said with a giggle as she sat on the bed.
"Well maybe its because I wanted to spend some time with you." Ryan said as he laid on top of her.
"Ryan we just saw each other." Alex said with a giggle.
"Four hours is not enough. You should know that." Ryan said with as he rolled his eyes making Alex laugh.
"Yes how could I forget such a thing." Alex said with her giggle that made Ryan's heart melt.
Ryan reached into his pocket and then pulled out a small box and handed it to her.
"What's this?" Alex said looking at the box and then Ryan confused.
"Open it." Ryan said with a small smile. Alex did as she was told and when she opened the box, she gasped.
Inside the box was a diamond bracelet.
"Look on the back." Ryan said as Alex did as she told.
Tears started to come out of her eyes and she turned the bracelet around and saw that it said "I love you" with their anniversary date on it.
"Happy Birthday beautiful." Ryan said with a smile.
"Oh Ry, thank you. I love it." Alex said as she looked up with a teary smile.
"Anything for you." Ryan said as he leaned in and kissed her.
A couple hours later
"Dude come on, get up." Ryan said as he shook Troy who was asleep with Gabriella in their "room".
"Huh?" Troy said as he was semi-woke.
"Come on dude. We have to get back, its 4:30." Ryan said.
"Ok let me get Brie up." Troy said as Ryan nodded and left.
"Brie, baby wake up." I heard Troy say.
"No" I mumbled as I turned my head deeper into his chest.
"I know baby, but we have to get back home." I just sighed before waking up and following him out to the car.
20 minutes later we pulled up to our house. Alex and I kissed our guy before sneaking back into the house.
"Happy Birthday Alex." I said before she walked into her room.
"Happy Birthday Ella." She said with a smile before leaving.
I can already feel that I'm going to love this birthday. I don't know if it's what Troy just did for me or what but all I know is that this is going to be the best birthday yet.
Walking downstairs later on that morning I saw that my parents already had people putting stuff up for our party later on. Walking into the kitchen I saw my parents, Alex and my brother.
"Good Morning everyone." I said with a smile.
"Good Morning baby girl. Happy Birthday." My dad said as I sat by him and kissed me on the cheek.
"Happy birthday sweetie." My mom said as she did the same and then placed my breakfast in front of me.
"Happy Birthday Ella." Eric said as I smiled at him.
"Thanks bro and thanks for last night too." I said as I hugged him, but whispered the last part so my parents wouldn't hear.
"No problem." He said with a smile.
"I can't believe you girls are 18 already." My dad said with a pout.
"Aw daddy don't worry, we'll always be your princess and baby girl." Alex said as I nodded.
"So what are you girls getting ready to do, while we get everything for your party ready?" My mom asked.
"Us and Taylor are going to go get the last of the stuff we need for our outfits for the party." Alex said.
"Yeah we should get going." I said as we both got up and kissed our parents on the cheek before say "I love you" and leaving.
"So did you girls talk to Ryan and Troy yet?" Taylor asked as we were at the mall looking in stores.
"Yeah they came to our house at like 11 and we went to the house and they gave us our gifts at exactly 12." I said with a smile.
"Aw that's so cute. What did they get you guys?" Taylor asked.
We both showed her our gifts that our loving boyfriends had got us and talked about how sweet it is.
"You girls think we are going to be able to hang out with them tonight?" Taylor asked.
"We better, I mean everyone is going to be in mask so they wouldn't know that we were really talking to them." Alex said.
"Yeah and I really doubt our parents are going to watching us 24/7. They're going to be too busy making sure everything is going to go right." I said.
"Guys look." Taylor said as we turned to look where she was looking and to our surprise we saw the wildcats.
I smiled as I took my phone out and sent a quick text to Troy. I watched as he took his phone out and then turned and smiled when he saw me. We all smiled at the wildcats and Troy sent back a quick text, but before I could read it, I felt an arm around me shoulders and I heard a voice I hated.
"Hey babe." Robert said. Oh god this is just perfect, he wants to pop up right when Troy is around. I looked over at Troy and let me tell you he didn't look happy.
"What do you want Jackson?" I said as I took his arm from around me.
"I just wanted to tell you and Alex happy birthday." He said as Taylor, Alex and I rolled our eyes.
"Ok you've done it now bye-bye." Alex said.
"Well look who we have here." We heard Chad say. We turned around to see him, Troy, Sharpay, Kelsi and Ryan. Oh God not this.
"What do you 5 want." I said as I faked glared at them.
"Aw what's wrong Montez, not happy to see us?" Troy said as I rolled my eyes at him.
"The lady said what do you want." Robert said as he placed his arm where it was before and I winced.
God please don't let Troy punch him in the face. I looked over and saw that Troy's hands had turned into fist. Not a good sigh.
"Who the hell are you suppose to be her bodyguard." Troy said as the wildcats laughed.
"No, but if you don't leave I'm going to whoop your ass." Robert said as he walked up to Troy.
"Please I would love to see you try." Troy said as they were now face to face.
"Robert come on lets go." Alex said.
"Aw would you look at that she's worried about him. How cute." Ryan said as Alex glared at him.
"Shut it Evans."
"Watch who the hell you're talking to." Sharpay said as Alex looked at her.
"I wasn't talking to you now was I." Alex said as she glared at Sharpay.
"Look Robert lets go he's not worth it." I said as I pulled him back.
"You're right he's not. He's just a piece of trash." Robert said as Troy glared at him.
"Whatever let's just go." I said as I turned around and I felt Robert's arm around my shoulder again.
All four of us walked away from the wildcats and I turned around to see Troy who did not like the way Robert was touching me by the way.
Taylor, Alex and I walk into the house we shared with the wildcats to see them all there including Zeke and Jason.
"So what's this I hear about a rumble that almost happened with Jackson?" Zeke said as we rolled our eyes.
"We saw the gang, Jackson walked over to Gabi being the same him, Troy and the gang walked over said some stuff and then Jackson opened his big mouth." Taylor said.
"Yeah it was nothing." I said as I sat by Troy.
"Nothing! Brie he was all over you." Troy said.
I knew this was going to happen.
"Troy he always does that okay. It's nothing new. He knows I'm not going to date him. He was just showing out because you were there." I said.
"Yeah Troy don't worry, Robert isn't a threat to you." Alex said as I nodded.
Troy just nodded as he dropped it but I knew he still felt something.
"Come here." I said as I pulled him outside.
"Babe, you don't have to worry about him." I said as we sat on the hammock.
"I know its just..it killed me to watch him touch you like that. I'm the only guy that can do that and I hate the fact that I couldn't stop him from doing that." Troy said as my face softened.
He was so protective of me it's so cute.
"Aw baby I love how you want to protect me and all and I wish you could come and rescue me from every guy, but because of our dumb families and stuff, you can't but I love the fact that you want to save me." I said as I hugged him tight and felt him kiss the top of my head.
"If it helps I did slap him from touch me after we left." I said and felt him laugh.
"Yeah it does." Troy said as I smiled.
"Come on you big goofball, we have to get ready for my party." I said as we got up and walked back to the gang to go get ready for the party.
Well there you guys go. Please review and tell me what you think. The party is next
