Hola! I finally got the 2nd chapter up. It got lost on my computer so I had to retype it otherwise I would have put it up right after I put up the 2nd chapter. Well anyways. There is some drama in this chapter and some questioning going on. Well yea...haha just read the story.
Chapter 2
Chad's P.O.V
I was in homeroom with Ms. Darbus. I sat in the back with my hood over my head once again, iPod turned all the way up to drown out the comments my best friend was making towards Gabriella. My Brown Eyes. When the song ended and there was silence for a moment, all I hear is "I love you Gabi" and then soon after "I love you too Troy". I then had enough. I can take it seeing them together but telling them that they love each other is just too much for me. I thought I was gonna burst by just sitting there.
I quickly got up, swung my black bag over my shoulder, and left the classroom, with Ms.Darbus calling my name threatening to call security to escort me back to class by force. I don't really care. I would like to see them try and stop me. When im motivated to go somewhere. I get there. I leave the building, get in my truck, and speed off not sure exactly where I'm going. I turn on the radio and "conveniently" 'Don't Make Me Wait by This World Fair' is playing, then sending me into depression.
Gabriella's P.O.V.
I watched as Chad stormed out of the room. I hope he is okay. 'He's actually kinda hot when he's mad' OH MY GOD! Did I just say that? Comeone Gabriella, you're with Troy. But yet Chad seems so familiar like I have some kind of connection with him. Where have I seen him before? Oh well...
Do I really love Troy? I mean, sure I love him, but not relationship wise. I dont feel that spark between us as I did with that boy at camp 3 years ago. If only I got his name. He actually kind of looks like Chad but Chad has curly big hair and that boy had short frizzy hair. Chad has a great body, with big muscles and that boy was a little bit scrawny. They both live in New Mexico but what are the odds that he went to East? New Mexico is still a slighlty large state. He could be anywhere. Even if it was Chad, he would have said something to me...I think. 'Ugh! Well that was in the past'.
"Hey are you okay? Is something wrong?" Troy asked me. He really doesnt know me very well.
"No, I'm just thinkin."
"...about?"
"Oh! um...i was just wondering why your friend...um...Chad I think his name is...just left like that?"...well I didnt tell him everything, he doesn't need to know about that.
"I'm not sure about him. He's been real distant these past 2 years. I think it was around the time you and I met. He doesnt really talk much anymore. He's real laid-back. He used to be so funny and outgoing, talking to everyone, but he just kinda drifted away and doesn't talk to anyone anymore. He hardly talks to me actually and I've known him all my life. The only one that knows the real him. Most people are afraid of him because he's just so scary looking. He's probably the toughest guy at school here at East High. Probably even West High, too."
"Really?" I asked questioningly.
"I mean, he almost killed a kid once for me when I wasn't at school and some kids were talking and sayin some pretty nasty stuff about you. Now THATS what you call a best friend, when they stick up for friends girlfriends when there not around. Dont get me wrong, he's a real nice guy but for some reason he doenst like to show it to people, other than me, hardley even to his dad. Sometimes to you, on occasion."
"Wow. I didnt know that about him."
"Yea, well enough about Chad. Meet me at our secret spot for lunch?"
"Yea. I'll see you there Wildcat..."
"Okay, bye babe."
"Bye"
We then got up to go to next period and then lunch was next.
Chad's P.O.V.
I finally come back from my drive and park in the student parking lot and hop out of my truck. I throw up my hood and walk into the building.
"Danforth! PULL YOUR PANTS UP!" I hear a teacher yell at me as I keep walking and turn the corner listening to 'Basement Ghost Singing by Armor For Sleep', completely ignoring his demand. As I round another corner I run into a petite brown-eyed girl.
She loses her balance and begins to fall, but I quickly wrap my arms around her waist so she can regain balance. I stare back at Gabriella and she stares back at me. Feeling my emotions her begin to surface, I quickly let go of her and begin to walk away as if nothing happened. I could feel her presence get near as I felt a tug on my arm, causing me to turn around.
"Wait! um...thanks...for back there."
'Why wont she leave me alone? When I'm near her I want to hold her in my arms and wantine her to be mine, but she is with Troy and I cant do that to my best friend. I have to think of something to make her not want to talk to me anymore. As much as it pains me to say.
I take my earphones out and say "Yea! Well watch where I'm going! Your always in the fucking way!" I spat then putting the earphones back in.
'Damn it, I hope I wasnt to mean to her.' She just stood there staring at me as if she was searching for something. I broke her stare as I turned around and walked away.
School was finally over and I was in the gym watching the basketball team practice in the court. The basketball team that I was no longer on because I quit. I knew that if we ever won a game Gabi would be there hugging Troy and kissing him and I don't want to have to see that every time we play a game.
I'm just standing on the bleachers, leaning up against the wall. Hood over my head. Earphones in my ears, blasting 'In Bloom by Nirvana' and watching the orange basketball go up and down the court, Troy making every shot. I close my eyes for a while tapping my hands to the beat of the song. I slowly open my eyes when the song ends to find Gabriella standing next to me, eyeing me carefully while bitting her bottom lip. 'God she is beautiful...snap out of it Chad!'
"What are you lookin at?!" I spat at her.
"I was just wondering what song you were listening to?" she said softly.
"Yea. Well don't" I said harshly.
"You know you can put on that hard image all you want Chad, but I know that you stick up for me whether you don't want me to know or not."
I just stood there speechless, not really knowing what to say to that except listen to see if she says anything else.
"Its okay. I think it's sweet and I wont tell anyone if you dont want me to."
I couldn't even speak. I just got up and started walking, then stopped. I turned around looking at her, "You comin?" I said to her. I then watched as she climbed down from the bleachers and started walking towards me. I then turn around and we both walked out of the gym. We headed outside and then started to walk down the street.
"Where are we going?" she asked.
" The park." I simply stated.
"Why?"
"Don't ask questions."
"Your not gonna kill me are you?" she said with a half-serious face on, knowing that I actually could if I wanted to. Which i would never do.
I didnt answer her, smiling silently knowing she would go crazy if I didnt answer her.
"CHAD!" she yelled.
"I'm not gonna kill you! Just calm down..." I said with a slight chuckle in my voice.
We finally made it to the park and we walked towards the lake.
"Do you know how to swim?"
"Um...no...actually I don't like the water."
"Still?" I said, without thinking.
"What?" Then I realized what I said.
"Oh! Um...I mean. You dont know how to swim?" trying to cover it up as what I just said to her.
"No. What did you mean by 'Still?'"
"Um. Nothing. Just forget it." wishing she would let it go.
"Um. Okay. But no I dont know how."
"Would you like me to teach you sometime?" I said. 'What the hell am I doing? It's like I cant control what im saying.
"Well Troy actually said he would teach me." Then my emotions altered a bit, realizing what I was doing.
"Oh. Of course. Yea. Sorry I asked."
"Well I would love to swim with you once I learn."
"yea...thats sounds good." I gave her a small smile but then I went back to showing no emotion at all.
We eventually started our way home from the lake and I walked her home since it was getting starting to get dark. We slowly stopped infront of her house and stayed in silence for a few moments. When she spoke up, "Hey, I had fun today Chad. Thanks for bringing me along with you to the park."
"Oh, it was no big deal. I didnt want you to be by yourself since Troy was at practice. We then stood there awkwardly when I could feel our bodies moving closer and closer to each other. Our lips were just centimeters away from each other when Gabriella's mom opens the front door and calls out to her, causing us to stop abruptly, right before our lips touched. We separated quickly and then she spoke up, "Um...bye...Chad." She then quickly ran up her driveway and into the house.
'Shit.' Im not sure whether to be happy that we didnt kiss for Troy's sake or sad at the fact that it left me torn up inside once again. I feeling that I had gotten used to. My feelings are so screwed up right now. I love her but I cant be with her. Ever. Even if her and Tory break up, it wouldnt be right to go out with her because she's Troy's ex. So either way I lose.
I start walking home thinking about how awkward it will be tomorrow for the both of us.
Okay. Be honest. How was that?
Im sorry for all you troyella fans but there still together so dont complain about that. Saying how that would never happen cuz I know that. Its my story and if you dont like it then dont read it. Lol
well for all the ppl that DO like this story. Tell me what you think about that.
What do you think will happen next. Do you think Troy will find out what happened?
Plz Review cuz I wont know whether ppl are reading this so I wont post another chapter if no one is reading. I love writing this but I will just post it on another site if no one reads it here. Well thanx. And...yea. Lol
