AN: Thanks to wildcats2016 for helping me with questions I have and hopefully this helps everyone who has questions. This is a Troyella story and it starts the fall of their senior year. I DO NOT OWN HSM. I do own the plot. All the people who I mention are real people and the schools are real schools in Indiana. This chapter is in Gabriella's POV rather than Troy's for part then will switch to Troy's later.
2.
{After Gabriella ran off from Troy}
I was running off thinking I really thought Troy was different and actually liked me and not just for another notch on his belt. I was walking to my studyhall when I saw his friend Chris I think his name was talking to another guy. I was walking up to him I was ready to give him a piece of my mind. "Where does your friend Troy get off toying with people's emotions like he has?" I asked bitterly.
"What are you talking about more importantly who are you?" He asked clearly confused on what is going on great another fucking moron I thought.
"Your friend Troy I went to see him after first period and he was talking to some girl in the hall way they were really friendly towards one another, and I thought he really liked me. We have been flirting in Government class. I'm Gabriella Montez by the way." And when I said my name I saw something in his head click.
"Oh your Gabriella Montez now I know who you are. Troy chewed my ass out because some girl that he invited to the taping was upset. I'm sorry how I acted it was wrong it was just our first show and everyone was on edge. For Troy it has been the most stressful for him cause we did coach's show then game tonight. This is Justin Griffiths Troy's color commentator and somewhere is Morgan she's the sideline reporter for tonight. I'm Chris Simmons by the way. As for the girl he was talking to I have no Idea he was off all during first period cause he got very little sleep. Morgan wanted to talk to him to see whats up but I doubt he was hitting on her." He said. Well at least Troy wasn't lying about the game tonight. Came across my mind.
"Well if he wasn't hitting on her then why was he laughing like a mad man when she was talking and really up close to her?" I asked.
"He was up close cause Morgan likes to talk quietly and you need to stand close to hear what she says. Morgan was probably just trying to get him to loosen up cause he gets really uptight before the games. At least that's how he was for football season." Chris said and Justin nodded his head to confirm his story. Great I yelled at him for no fucking reason great job Montez. Now I need to find him before the end of the day. Just then the bell went off to start study hall. I was in study hall when I remember that Troy said he needed caffeine so maybe he went to the cafeteria to get some coffee or something I'll check after study hall right now I have to finish this government assignment for class due tomorrow.
{With Troy After talking to Corey. Troy's POV}
Finally I get my Monster and have a backup one for later on in class then off to the coffee shop to get coffee and water. Man I need to cut down on my caffeine intake but not today. I was walking back from the cafeteria after study hall where I got nothing done to my disappointment. I was enjoying my drink when I think I hear my name being called but then again in a school of 5000 its hard to tell. I was walking to go to my math class when I ran into Justin and Chris.
"What's up guys ready for the game tonight Justin?" I asked when Chris told me what happened to him this morning.
"Dude that girl you asked to the coach's show yesterday came up to me any was demanding why you were and these were her words not mine 'hitting on Morgan'" I laughed at the thought of me hitting on Morgan for multiple reasons. 1) while she was good looking shes a little short for me 2) we have had a brother/ sister relationship since freshman year and 3) she's Chris' girlfriend I would never do that to a friend but that does explain Gabriella's mood this morning I thought.
"That's really funny Chris I need to math class and I'll see you guys after class to do pre-game at my house." I said since the three of us for football season went to one another houses before the game to chill and change into our dress cloths.
"Yea just remember to get us some coffee or energy drinks this time." Justin said knowing it might get to be a late night.
"Will do man see you guys later." I said and turned to go to class.
{After school at coffee shop}
I walk up to the counter to get White Chocolate Mochas for Justin and I along with water for me. I walk up to the counter not playing attention to the person there and say "Can I get two White Chocolate Maochas and a bottle of water?" All of the sudden I get this weird feeling that I'm being watched. As I'm waiting for the coffee to come out I hear my name being called by the last person I would expect to see Gabriella Montez.
"Troy? What are you doing here?" she asked sipping a coffee of her own.
"On a coffee run for Justin and I then meeting with Chris and Justin at my place to get ready then head to the school to catch the bus to go to the game." I said in a matter of fact tone. I might get why she was upset this morning but that doesn't mean that I can just forgive her for exploding at me for no reason.
"Oh. Ok. I was looking for you after study hall but I guess you were in class already. I just wanted to say I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier. I just thought that you didn't like me anymore especially after I caught my boyfriend cheating on me with a cheerleader so when I see what happened I overreacted and you didn't deserve that so I'm sorry." She said looking down at the end. All I could do is lift her chin with my fingers to so her chocolate brown meeting my blue, and I take a deep breath and say, "I'm sorry that your boyfriend did that to you. You deserve better than that, and I know why you exploded at me cause Chris told me when I ran into him after lunch. Morgan is just a friend that knows me well. She was the sideline reporter all football season so she could see when I was overthinking and is the only one to talk to me and calm me down. She saw that I was tired this morning and nervous about the game cause with a new season anything can happen and that just doesn't go for the players on the field but even for us in the booth and I'm just scared because this is varsity basketball that gets replayed over the weekend and I got scared that I will mess up. There is only a few times I get nervous and that was when I was a player for the team, the first football game of the season this year that I had to call, and now I promise after this game I'll be back to normal. I know that I said yesterday about you being single too, but I just think we need to stay friends for now and take it slow, because you just got out of a long term relationship and that takes time to heal." I said and she reluctantly nods.
"Ok I know your right about waiting for our relationship to grow and develop, but I have to ask you a question how did you become so wise on this topic?" she asks and I chuckled and was about to answer when my order was ready.
"I'll tell you later on that but for now I have to go I'm sorry." I said and did something bold even for me and kissed her cheek grabbed the coffee and walked out. Getting into my car I turned my music on and was listening to Nelly's song featuring Trey Songz and started to sing along thinking of Gabriella.

As the song ends I pull into my drive. I enter my house to see Justin Chis talking to my mom and dad.
"Hey guys. Justin here is your coffee just remember to get water when we get there for the game. Hey momma hey dad." I said setting my stuff down and sitting on the couch.
"Hey pup ready for the game tonight? I'm sure you'll do just fine you always do." My dad said using his nickname for me I smile and just nod.
"Well sweetheart just know we are proud of you no matter what." My mom says always having to get the last word in, and again I just nod.
"Well we better get ready for the game and Justin you are driving right?" Chris finally said and when Justin nods he turns to my parents and said "It was great to talk to you again Mr. and Mrs. Bolton." We head off to my room and turn on my laptop and login to my Spotify account picking Jason Derulo playlist I have created and we all start to sing to one of his songs.
Have you ever had a feeling you were being watched?
Footsteps behind you like a shadow when you walk?
Can't tell if your mind is playing tricks or not?
Eh eh, eh eh no!
What I'm going through is now a rock in my brain.
Thinking bout like do I got any enemies?
Where I've been, what I did, what did I say?
Eh eh eh eh yeah!
Oh, comin' to think of it,
I remember one chick,
That I was messing with,
While I was in Connecticut,
I met her after my show.
I took her back to my room.
The next day I had to go.
I never thought it would…
Get this deep!
Now I got this problem following me!
You better be careful, better be careful, better be careful!
Whose heart you'll break,
You're never knowing what she'll do or say
Will send 'em over the edge so
Next time I'll be careful!
I'm getting letters every other day addressed to me.
Saying dear Jason you and I were meant to be.
Tell me you feel the same or it will be the death of me.
Eh eh! It gets so worst now!
She reaching out to all my people, friends and family.
Got me so paranoid; I'm stackin' up security.
It's getting crazy here, it's difficult for me to sleep.
Eh eh eh eh you know!
Now all I'm thinking is
How do I get out of this
I'm feeling kind of sick,
Damn this is some crazy shit
I met her after my show.
I took her back to my room.
The next day I had to go.
I never thought it would…
Get this deep!
Now I got this problem following me!
You better be careful, better be careful, better be careful!
Whose heart you'll break,
You're never knowing what she'll do or say
Will send 'em over the edge so
Next time I'll be careful!
Oh I'll be careful, yeah yeah
This got so out of control.
I learned my lesson now so.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh be careful!
She's holding, no won't let go
She wants a piece of my soul.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh be careful!
I met her after my show.
I took her back to my room.
The next day I had to go.
I never thought it would…
Get this deep!
Now I got this problem following me!
You better be careful, better be careful, better be careful!
Whose heart you'll break,
You're never knowing what she'll do or say
Will send 'em over the edge so
I never thought it would… get this deep!
Now I got this problem following me!
You better be careful, better be careful, better be careful!
Whose heart you'll break,
You're never knowing what she'll do or say
Will send 'em over the edge so

"Dude Morgan would Kill you if you ever did anything close to that you know that right." I said to Chris.
"Don't worry about me when you have a pretty fiery one yourself Troy. When are you going to make your move anyway?" He said and I looked at him like he had two head although I knew he was talking about Gabriella.
"I have no clue what you are talking about Chris." I said trying to keep denial but unfortunately for me Justin saw right through it and laughed and said, "Bullshit you don't that Gabriella girl that confronted Chris this morning is something else man. I mean you two aren't together and she got upset because you were talking to another girl come on man she's a little nuts."
"She's not nuts her boyfriend of a year cheated on her and I told her if she was single that I would ask her out so she was expecting me to ask her out this morning only problem was I didn't know she was single because I didn't get to check facebook this morning and didn't sleep until 4:30. So when she saw Morgan talking to me on top of what happened last night she exploded. She was at the coffee place earlier and apologized for her actions. I told her it was ok and we are cool now." I said while changing into my light blue dress shirt with my gold tie with blue stripes and my black dress pants and blazer.
"Oh. Ok. So when are you going to ask her out then." Justin asked knowing that I would wait for her to get over her old boyfriend.
"I don't know maybe a week or two just depending if we keep talking like we have. Enough of this lets go bus leaves in an hour and we still have to get the stuff out of the control room." I said while walking down the stairs saying bye to my mom and dad.
AN2: sorry for the delay I have just been busy with school and such. Next chapter is going to be more exciting with everything.
