Death of a Wallflower
Chapter 2
"Oh my gosh." Gabriella said as Troy and Chad through Annie Johnson's body in the ocean. They started the boat and began to go back to the dock.
"Taylor, why did you do that too her?" Sharpay snapped.
"I-I didn't think she'd die. I just put a little sleep drug, I didn't think she'd die!" Taylor said crying.
"We have to calm down guys!" Ryan said as they saw the cities lights.
"We're going to go to school and act as if nothing happened!" Gabriella cried screaming. "This is all your fault!" she pointed at Taylor.
"Come on guys, we can't just feed her to the sharks. We're all in this together." Taylor said. "Now I know I did something bad, but we have too stick together it's what friends do. They stick together. Through thick and thin."
"Yeah and life and death." Zeke scoffed.
"Guys, please." she begged. "You can't tell anyone!"
"No!" Gabriella and Sharpay refused.
"Babe, you have to cut her some slack it was an accident." Troy said rubbing Gabriella's bare thigh under her dress. She pushed his hand and glared.
"Go ahead and join in with her bullshit. But I'm not, and if you do. You'll be single and I'll find a boyfriend who'll support my desicions." Gabriella said rolling her eyes. Troy froze at the thought of Gabriella with another guy, her having sex with another guy, another guy kissing her neck, another guy with Gabriella. His Gabriella.
"Fine, whatever you say." he sighed.
"If I go down, you'll all go down with me!" Taylor said.
"Fine!" Everyone mumbled. As they reached the dock everyone got out of the boat and started making their ways home.
"Troy." Gabriella said.
"Yes?" he asked Gabriella as she smiled at him scared.
"I don't think...I don't think I wanna be at alone home tonight." she said quietly. He stared at her and noticed how beautiful she was. She was wearing an off the shoulder, one sleeve white topshop cocktail knee length flowy dress with gold louis vuitton booties, and jewelry. Her hair was all down and wavy and on one side.
"Yeah, lets go." he said and took her hand, following her to her limo that was waiting near the boardwalk.
...
As Taylor got inside her limo she heard the door slam, and flinched. She closed her eyes thinking of the party, and how she just about ruined all of her 'friends' lives. And honestly, she didn't even feel bad for them. She felt like they deserved it, and if she went down she could easily get out of it and put all the blame on Gabriella, or Sharpay, or better yet, Kelsi. She smirked then her phone vibrated telling her she got text message. She slid her finger on the screen of her iphone so she could read the message then she gasped and dropped her phone.
Secrets can't be kept forever, Miss Mckessie.
-Annie
There was picture of Annie's dead body, wet in the grass. "Oh my gosh." Taylor whispered.
FLASHBACK
2 hours Earlier...
Gabriella had just walked away, to talk to Troy leaving Taylor, Sharpay, and Kelsi at the bar. Sharpay was in the middle her back to Taylor in a conversation with Kelsi. The first volleyball game had just happened today and of course they won. So they were throwing an after party at one of the player's houses. Taylor looked at everyone sitting at the bar, and noticed Annie Johnson there, she smirked and looked at the bartender.
"Can I have a Jack Daniels Grapefruit punch?" she asked. He nodded and created her drink and handed it too. "Thank you." she said. She looked around and made sure no one was looking and pulled out a small plastic bag with a powdery substance in it. She poured the substance in the cup and stirred it around then got out of her seat and made her way to Annie.
"Hi, you're Annie right?" Taylor asked sitting beside the girl. Annie was writing in her journal, she looked up and closed it quickly and shoved it in her bag.
"Uh, y-yeah. I am." she said confused.
"You should know me, I'm Taylor Mckessie. I saw you sitting her by yourself and decided I'd talk to someone knew besides my friends." Taylor said. "I got you a drink, it's grapefruit, Jack Daniels. You should love it." she slid the drink over to Annie.
"Thank you." Annie smiled sweetly and drank some of the drink.
"Uh, can I have another?" Taylor asked the bartender who smiled at her. He handed her another drink, and Taylor watched as Annie drank almost half of the drink.
"So, uh, you look nice." Annie said tryingto start conversation.
"Oh! Thank you. Michael Kors made it custom for me, and I just got it today. So I decided I'd wear it." Taylor smiled.
"Tell Gabriella she did good tonight. That final spike over the net was what won the game." Annie smiled.
"She's one hell of a volleyball player." Taylor said an watched as Annie finished her drink.
"I have to go to the bathroom, do you know where it is?"
"Yeah! It's down that hall and last door on the right." Taylor said nodding.
"Thank you." Annie said then began down the hallway to the bathroom. Taylor smirked and followed behind her once she walked about 5 feet. She watched Annie stumble into a room then fall on the floor of a room. Taylor walked into the room and bent down. She realized Annie wasn't breathing, she checked her pulse and didn't find one. She hitched her breath and paniced. "Oh my gosh." she put her ear to Annie's chest and didn't feel a heartbeat. She killed her. She had killed a girl. She hear footsteps and saw Kelsi behind her, who was about to scream. She covered Kelsi's mouth and looked at her hopeless.
"I didn't-"
"YOU KILLED HER!" Kelsi yelled. "Why would you do such a thing!" she cried.
"I-I didn't-"
"You didn't what? Taylor, I'm calling the police." Kelsi said pulled out her phone.
"You can't!" Taylor yelled.
"She can't what?" Sharpay said walking in with Ryan and Zeke by her said. "W-what did you do?"
"I-I-I didn't do anything!" Taylor lied.
"I saw you talking to her!" Kelsi yelled. "You drugged her drink and killed her. You selfish bi-"
"No I didn't guys, I-"
"What's going on here?" Troy asked walking in with Chad.
"Taylor killed Annie." Kelsi snapped.
"No, I didn't!" Taylor lied.
"What the hell is going on! Everyone's about to watch the recording of the game and I-I..." Gabriella's voice faded out. She looked at Annie's lifeless body before fainting backwards into Zeke's arms. Troy shot him a glare and pulled Gabriella into his arms.
"We have to call an ambulance!" Sharpay said.
"No then I'll get caught!" Taylor yelled before covering her mouth.
"You killed her, what's your problem!" Sharpay screamed. "Are you stupid! Are trying to get us all put in prison for your stupid ass mistakes!"
"We have to do something about her." Taylor said. "I'm not getting caught."
"Why did you do it?" Troy asked. Taylor looked at Troy who was holding an unconscious Gabriella in his arms. She was always jealous of Gabriella she looked at Troy.
"S-She knows everything." Taylor starts crying. "I-I didn't like it." Gabriella's eyes opened and she looked at Troy.
"Is she dead?" she asked him quietly and he nodded. Her eyes widened and she looked at Taylor.
"You're a heartless, bitch!" Kelsi screamed. "How could you do this too someone, because of some stupid secrets!"
"What? Stupid? These secrets could ruin my life." Taylor said. "And she knew them all, she knew all of them. I didn't mean to kill her though."
"You can go down by yourself, because I don't want any part in this!" Gabriella said glaring she turned to walk out.
"Baby, please." Troy said.
"No!" Gabriella screamed. "I'm not having any part in this!"
"Why? Is it because your scared?" Taylor asked.
"I'm not ruining my life." Gabriella snapped.
"Whatever." Taylor said. "You're such a arrogant fuck."
"Atleast I don't kill people, and atleast I don't use drugs." Gabriella said before walking out.
"We're a group! We have to do this together." Chad said.
"Whatever." she said and walked back. "I'll help."
"We need your yaugt, we're gonna throw her in the ocean." Taylor said.
"What! No! No, no no." Gabriella said.
"Yes, you agreed." Taylor said smirking.
FLASHBACK OVER
Troy was laying in Gabriella's bed in nothing but his boxers. He was playing a game on Gabriella's ipad, that was in a hot pink and lime green polka dot case. He looked up as Gabriella walked out of the bathroom in her sheer white slip that she was wearing under her dress. His mouth watered and he looked away from her. She ran her fingers through her hair and walked into her closet searching for a nightgown or some pajamas she could wear. She walked out in her yellow and polka dot pink Calvin Klein short shorts and a pink matching long sleeved shirt.
"You're beautiful, you know that?" he asked her smiling.
"You tell me almost everyday." she whispered. "I think I know, by now." she kissed him.
"Did I ever tell you how good you did tonight at the game? You were on fire." he whispered in her ear.
"Why thank you!" she smiled. "I can't wait to see you in your basketball game Wednesday." she said and layed her head on his shoulder. Troy put Gabriella's ipad down on the table beside her bed and looked at her. They had been dating for about 8months now. It'll be a year March, and yet he still couldn't tell her how he really felt about her. Of course, he got with other girls and they argued a lot those were both his problems. Gabriella was a perfect girlfriend, of course she talked to other guys and hung out with them, but he wanted her to himself. She wanted him to herself, and he couldn't help it he liked girls...A lot. But also, he liked Gabriella a lot. Maybe even loved her. She was his everything, his world, and he never really wanted to loose her. No matter how many girls he got with none of them caught his attention, none of them were Gabriella.
"Troy." Gabriella said pulling him out of his thoughts. She was sitting up in front of him looking at him.
"Mhm." he said.
"What are you thinking about?" she asked him.
"You." he said. "Is there something better I should be thinking about?"
"No, I'm perfectly happy with being on your mind." she smiled and layed down. "Goodnight."
"Night beautiful." he said and layed down and she turned off the lights.
Monday
Sharpay stepped out of her car and was met with a text message. She slid her phone and unlocked it then read the text message.
Never underestimate your opponent, Miss Evans.
Ryan got the main part in the musical, but never told you. Oh and guess what?
He's drama club president again, and you're vice president, once again.
-Annie
Sharpay glared at her phone and shoved it in her bag before looking for Ryan, she found him with everyone else except, Gabriella who was at practice, in the courtyard at their table under the pavilion. She marched over there and slammed her hands on the table in front of him.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TOO ME!" she yelled.
"Do what, Sharpay?" he asked confused and annoyed.
"You lied too me! I can't believe you'd this too me, Ry." she said.
"I know you're not happy that I'm gay but-"
"YOU'RE GAY!" Kelsi and Sharpay yelled.
"That's not what you're talking about?" he asked, his sister and she shook her head.
"You stole the main part from me in the musical, you stole drama club president from me, YOU'RE STEALING MY SPOTLIGHT IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" she screamed, clearly very angry.
"I'm not trying to steal your spotlight, Sharpay. I don't want it! I was kicked off of the drama club, and lost main parts a lot and now I can't have-"
"NO! I want it, it's mine. It's not yours." she hissed.
"Apparently, it's not yours if I got and not you." he said sarcastically. Sharpay gasped and slapped Ryan. She glared at him then spoke.
"I hope your happy, Ryan. I really do." she spat before turing around and walking away. Kelsi looked down and then looked at Ryan.
"So have we been a lie, this whole time?" she asked him quietly.
"K-Kelsi, you're an amazing girl but-" he was cut off with Kelsi's hand hitting him across the face.
"I can't believe you!" she said with tears in her eyes before running off. Taylor looked at all the guys then looked at Troy who wasn't paying attention to anything around him.
"Have you seen Gabriella anytime today?" Taylor asked smiling biting her lip trying to look like Gabriella.
"She had practice, all morning and I didn't get to see her." he said not looking up. Everyone heard whistles and cat calls getting louder they looked up and saw Gabriella her volleyball uniform; black spandex, a white jersey with the number 14 in gold, white socks with two red stripes, knee pads, and red, white, and gold volleyball shoes. Her hair was in a high ponytail and bounced as she walked towards them. She smiled and came up too Troy. His eyes widened.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he said.
"Coming to see you." she giggled and leaned down to kiss him. "I missed you." she sat on his lap. "We're taking a break, so I decided I'd come see you."
"You shouldn't come out here wearing spandex of all things." he said and she giggled.
"I'll put sweats on next time." she said laughing. Taylor watched them both and wished she could be Gabriella, she had a glamorous life. She was beautiful, had Troy, was a great dancer, was captian of the volleyball team, everyone adored her, she probably had flaws but hid them, she's been everywhere, and her parents give her anything and everything. Not like hers didn't, she just wanted to be Gabriella. A lot.
"Gabriella!" a bunch of girl in spandex ran up to them and laughed.
"We have to get back to practice." the light brown haired girl said.
"If we're late coach will kill us." the blonde one said.
"I should go." she said and kissed Troy and all the girls aw-ed. She got off Troy's lap and he saw all of the girls and spandex, but only could stare Gabriella's butt. It was like perfect. He smiled and then she turned around and waved before walking away. He heard the girls giggling and telling Gabriella how cute her and Troy were together.
...
Sharpay opened her locker, which was two lockers put together. Her and the other seven in the elite had lockers like this. She saw pictures of her and Ryan everywhere and glared she took them out and ripped them.
"He's not gonna steal my spotlight!" she growled.
"But he's already taken it." her inner voice said.
"Yeah and I'm gonna get back." she said. "I'll do whatever it takes to bring him down. I'm not going down without a fight." she slammed her locker then stomped down the hallway. Then stopped when she saw him talking to his..she's assuming 'boyfriend'.
"Oh I get it. You've been dating Kelsi to make me happy, right?" she said. Ryan jumped and glared at Sharpay.
"What are you even doing here?" Ryan asked confused.
"The real question is, why don't you just do what you do best and run away?"
"I'm not-"
"You need to give drama club president up and the main part up in the musical, okay? I'll give you one chance. So will you?"
"Hell no." he spat. She breathed in deeply then breathed out.
"Fine." she spun on her heel and flipped her hair before walking away. She went around the corner and saw Ryan lean in and kiss the boy she took a picture of them then texted it to school website to be published. Before first period even started everyone would know Ryan Evan's little secret. She walked into class and saw Gabriella on Troy's lap making out with him. She wasn't in her volleyball attire anymore but black skinny jeans, a forever21 cheetah print cut out long sleeved shirt, with cheetah print Steve Madden pumps.
"Guys, you're totally about to have sex in front of us all." Sharpay said laughing.
"HEY! Unlike your boyfriends, I actually-" Troy started until Gabriella started kissing him again. He pulled away from her and she looked at Sharpay. "Like I was saying, before someone disturbed me..Unlike your boyfriend I actually like everyone to know who my girlfriend is. Even if that means fucking her in front of the whole class." he said and smirked.
"Troy!" Gabriella squealed and her eyes widened. "No!" The bell rang and Gabriella got off of Troy's lap and she sat beside him. Sharpay sat on the other side of Gabriella. Chad sat next to Troy and Taylor was next to Chad. Zeke was beside Sharpay and Kelsi beside Zeke with a open desk beside her for Ryan. Ryan walked in late and the teacher looked up from her computer.
"Mister Evans! Why are you late?" Mrs. Dans asked him.
"Where you making out with your boyfriend?" A football player said and the few football players in the class laughed.
"I-I.." Ryan's cheeks reddened looking embarassed.
"I bet he has a crush on me, that's why he's looking that." the same football player said.
The six of the elite 8 looked at Sharpay who wasn't paying any attention but on her phone.
"I-I d-don't." he stuttered and looked down and went to sit by Kelsi in the Elite 8 row of desks until Kelsi spoke.
"You can't sit with us." she snapped.
"What did I-" he asked sadly. "Sharpay." he looked at Sharpay who ignored him.
"YOU CAN'T SIT WITH US!" Kelsi screamed. "It's the Elite 7 now, everyone" she announced putting her stuff in the desk beside her. "Goodbye now." she looked away from him. He hung his head low and sat by himself. The football players laughed and throw stuff at him.
"You got rejected by your own sister!" one of them said too him.
"They kicked you out of the Elite!" another said laughing.
"We all learned a very valuable lesson today ladies and gentlemen." Liam James stood up. He was captian of the football team, and Troy's biggest enemy. Hate was an understatement to explain the way dislike he felt about Liam James. "Never lie about your sexuality, or else you'll be excommunicated from your click, Example A. Ryan Evans kicked off the Elite 8, I mean Elite 7." he pointed at Ryan.
"Oh my gosh!" Taylor stood up. "Liam shut the hell up!"
"I know few ways you can shut me up Taylor." he smirked at her. She rolled her eyes and sat down.
"Kelsi, Sharpay!" Gabriella whispered. "What the hell where you thinking?"
"I'm not letting him take my spotlight." Sharpay said and then pointed at Kelsi.
"He used me to act like he was straight, when he was gay. He told me he loved me! Rejection sucks!" Kelsi whined.
"Kelsi, we're gonna be good friends." Sharpay said and smiled. "As if we aren't already though?"
"Guys, thats was so uncalled for." Gabriella whined.
"He lied." they said together.
"You guys are horrible." Gabriella said then turned to look forward. The bell rang and everyone got up and left. Gabriella was making her way over to Troy and bumped into Zeke.
"Watch where you're-" he said then stopped seeing Gabriella on her butt on the ground.
"Ow." she said.
"Here." he put his hand out. She took it and he pulled her up.
"Uh, thanks." Gabriella said and smiled. She bent down and picked up her bag off the ground and started walking away.
"Gabriella wait, there's something you should know!" Zeke said. He was going to tell Gabriella about Troy cheating, so hopefully they'd break up and Gabriella would want to be his.
"What is it?" she said and then he saw Troy snake his arms around her waist and kiss her cheek. He shot a glare at Zeke.
"Is everything okay?" Troy asked glaring at Zeke.
"No, you're a cheating bastard, and you don't deserve the gorgeous brunette you're dating. But I do, because I love her!" Zeke thought he looked at the two who where staring at him.
"Is everything okay?" Gabriella asked him.
"Yeah, you know what just forget it, it wasn't important anyway."
"Okay." Gabriella said and turned in Troy's arms to kiss him. She took his hand and he walked her to class.
