The Player
Chapter 2
"What is going on why are you walking with him?" asks Sharpay
"Mum's godson Lucille is away he has to stay with us" says Gabriella
"For how long?" asks Taylor
"A week" says Troy
"Were we asking you Bolton?" snaps Sharpay
"Why are you so horrid to me but so lippy with my friends?" asks Troy
"Because they're our boyfriends" says Taylor
Sharpay and Taylor turn round to make out with Chad and Zeke.
"Why are you friends with them?" asks Troy leaning against the wall
"Because we've been friends since pre-k plus they know too much" says Gabriella glaring at Troy
"What?" asks Troy
"I wanted to lean against the wall" says Gabriella
"Lean against me, a lot cosier and not wet" he says
Gabriella leans against him.
"Ok?" asks Troy
"Yeah" mumbles Gabriella
"You don't sound too sure" says Troy
Gabriella shivers and Troy wraps his long coat around her.
"Why are you getting the bus anyway I thought you had a car?" says Gabriella
"In the shop it's out tomorrow I'll give you a lift to school the rest of the week" says Troy
"Does that mean I can get up later?" asks Gabriella
"A little later" says Troy
"Gabby what an earth is going on?" asks a voice
"Oh hey Zoe Mum's godson Lucille is away he has to stay with us for a week and I'm cold plus I wanted to lean against the wall" explains Gabriella
"You two look a little cosy" says Tyler
"Tyler we're practically family" says Gabriella
The bus pulls up.
"Troy" says Gabriella
"Yeah Gabs" says Troy
"Can you let go of me?" asks Gabriella
Troy lets go of her.
"Thank you" says Gabriella.
She gets on the bus on and then sits on the bus on her own because Sharpay and Zeke, Chad and Taylor and Zoe and Tyler have sat upstairs and she doesn't like sitting upstairs.
Troy sits next to her.
"How come you're not sat with your friends?" asks Troy
"Because I don't like sitting upstairs" says Gabriella
"Oh ok" says Troy
"How you're not sitting with them?" asks Gabriella
"I normally would but the constant making out is too much" says Troy
"Completely agree" says Gabriella
Awkward silence.
"You should wear warmer clothes tomorrow," says Troy.
"Did you not like our cosy moment before?" asks Gabriella.
"What are you implying?" asks Troy.
"Nothing," says Gabriella.
"Really?" asks Troy.
"Really," says Gabriella.
Awkward silence.
Upstairs, Zoe and Tyler are telling Sharpay and Taylor about Troyella's cosy moment.
At lunch time Sharpay, Taylor, Zoe and Gabriella are sat together with the boys a little way off.
"Zoe tells us you and Troy had a cosy moment this morning at the bus stop," says Sharpay.
"He leaned on the wall first and I was cold," says Gabriella.
"Really?" says Sharpay.
"Shar nothing is going on between me and Troy!" says Gabriella.
"Really really cross your heart yada yada?" says Sharpay.
"Yes!" says Gabriella.
Gabriella gets up and goes to the toilet. When she gets back she spots Zoe, Sharpay and Taylor discussing something. She knows it's her and she walks away. Troy spots this and follows her.
With Sharpay, Zoe and Taylor: Troy's departure is noted.
"There is something going on," says Sharpay.
"Maybe, maybe not," says Zoe.
"What do you mean?" asks Taylor.
"Maybe we know there is a hint of something but they don't. There is chemistry between them, that much is evident, but nothing actually going on. They haven't yet realised their affections for each other, but Troy leaving means deep down he cares and in someway their hearts are connected and something is drawing him to her." says Zoe.
"I see where you are coming from," says Taylor.
"So do I but he's a player and I don't want to see Gabriella get hurt," says Sharpay.
"I don't think she is going to get hurt, I think Troy genuinely cares for her," says Zoe.
With Troy and Gabriella:
"Gabriella, you ok?" asks Troy.
"Fine!" says Gabriella.
"Really" says Troy.
"Don't you start with the really, really crap like Shar" says Gabriella.
"Gabby, look at me," says Troy.
"I don't like people accusing me and talking behind my back!" says Gabriella.
"What where they accusing you of?" asks Troy.
"Us. Something going on between us," says Gabriella.
"There is nothing," says Troy.
"We know that but they don't. They think there is something," says Gabriella.
"Well, we know the truth and that should be what counts," says Troy.
"I cannot wait to get home," says Gabriella.
"Maybe at home we could talk on the matter of us…" says Troy.
"Troy! Stop flirting!" says Gabriella.
"It's in my nature to flirt, forgive me," says Troy.
"Forgiven," says Gabriella.
"Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful?" asks Troy.
"No," says Gabriella.
"Well, you're not," says Troy.
Gabriella looks offended.
"Because you're gorgeous" he continues.
