ON WITH THE FICCIE


Chapter 2

Gabriella ran until she found herself in the arms of someone and could hear Taylor trying to calm her down. She couldn't believe it, he had actually done it. Broken up with her and she didn't even know what she did.

"Gabi, what's wrong?" Taylor asked trying to get some answers to what made her friend cry like this. Chad held her as his girlfriend tried to talk to her.

"He……" Gabi said not being able to finish.

"Who?" Taylor asked wanting to know, so she could beat the living day lights out of them for hurting her friend. Gabi didn't reply but just kept sobbing against Chad's shoulder.

"Where's Troy, maybe he can help?" Ryan said. Hearing his name made Gabi cry harder and clutch Chad's shirt.

Gabriella was spared from explaining when the person that they were all talking about came running down the stairs.

"Gabi, wait" he said before running up to her. Everyone expected Gabriella to jump in his arms but they were all surprised when all she did was stand and glare at him as if she had never been crying in the first place.

"What Troy?" she asked angrily.

"Gabi, you didn't let me explain?" he said but she wouldn't listen to him. She walked out of Chad's arms and down the hall with Troy following her leaving five very confused people.

"Ok, does anyone know what that was about?" Jason asked staring after them. Chad and Ryan just shrugged while Taylor and Kelsi looked worriedly after their friends.

"Gabi, wait" Troy said again following her down the hall.

"You already told me what you want, but let me ask you this. Is it Sharpay?" Gabi asked angry.

"No, it's not another girl" he said trying not to dig himself into a bigger hole.

"Than what Troy, what did I do to make you so unhappy?" she yelled gaining everyone's stares in the hall.

Troy didn't answer her and she ran into the nearest place she could get rid of him, the girl's bathroom. Troy tried to follow her but was stopped when the door shut and he laid his head against the concrete wall next to it.

The bell rang signaling that free period was over and he looked back at the door. He knew Gabriella would never skip class, but his was at the other end of the school and he would be late if he didn't get moving.

With one more look back at the door and a silent apology to his girlfriend he ran off in the other direction heading for class.

Gabriella sighed and pushed open the door after she heard him leave, knowing that he wouldn't be late for his next class. Wiping back the last of her tears she left for her next class also.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Gabi, what was that all about?" Taylor asked in her next class.

"Are you and Troy having a fight?" she asked again.

Hearing his name almost made her burst out into tears but she held them in. They were supposed to be doing a project with partners. She and Taylor were partners.

"He broke up with me" she said finally being able to tell someone. Taylor gasped and was shocked. She like everyone thought that Troy and Gabriella were meant for each other and would never brake up. Guess she was wrong.

"Why that…..' Taylor said not being able to come up with a mean name for him.

Gabriella let an involuntary sob come and wiping the fresh new tears that came.

"Do you know why?" Taylor asked. Even though she hurt her best friend, he was still her friend and wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.

"No" Gabriella said trying not to cry.

"Oh Gabi, I am so sorry. I'll stop being friends with him for you" Taylor said hugging her. "And I can get Chad too and he can get the rest of the team to hate him for you"

Gabriella was about to tell her that she didn't want that but than Sharpay came over and smirked at her. She than gave her the "I know something you don't" look and walked over to her seat. So Gabriella just nodded into her friend's shirt.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Troy walked out of his math class and met up with Chad.

"Hey, what was up with Gabi this morning" he asked walking down the hall towards the lunchroom. It was lunch time and Chad was hungry.

"It's nothing, besides there's no doubt that she told Taylor. So you'll find out soon enough" Troy replied moodily.

"Ok" Chad said still confused.

"Hey, I am not very hungry, so I am going to skip lunch and go practice" Troy said than walked off before Chad could say anything. Chad looked after him with an even more confused look on his face.

Chad entered the lunchroom and grabbed his lunch. He found the girls easy and went and sat down next to his girlfriend.

"Hey, Chad we are not friends with Troy anymore spread it around to Jason, Zeke and Ryan" she said before he had the chance to speak. Kelsi nodded her head enthusiastically.

"Um…why?" Chad asked confused. (Authors Note: Poor Chad)

"Because he was a jerk and broke up with Gabi for no reason" Taylor said.

"What do you mean? He must have had a good reason" Chad denied.

"No, he didn't" Gabriella replied with venom in her voice.

"Well, that's not like Troy. I have known him since pre-school and he would never act like this?" Chad said trying to stick up for his friend.

"Than why don't you go ask him, why he's such a jerk" Taylor said rudely and the girls got up and walked off mad. So that's just what he did, after he ate his lunch.

He entered the gym to see Troy shooting free throws. Sneaking up on him he stole the ball and took a shot. The ball flew and landing into the hoop and he turned to his best friend smirking.

"Two points" Chad said. Troy rolled his eyes.

"That wasn't fair, you snuck up on me" Troy said folding his arms.

"You just have a bad attention span" Chad said grabbing another ball and shooting it, this time missing.

"So what's up?" Troy asked.

"I just talked to Gabi and Tay" Chad said picking up a ball and passing it to Troy.

"Oh, so you want to hate me too?" Troy said catching the ball.

"No" Chad said.

"Why?" Troy asked confused.

"Even though I love Taylor, and Gabi is my friend. You are my best friend and we have been that way since pre-school and we have stuck together since than. Me and Tay have been going out for a couple months and I have known Gabi only a couple months too. Now don't get me wrong, I think that you made a stupid decision but we are friends, I'll stick with you always" Chad said.

Troy smiled and passed the ball back to Chad who shot it into the hoop.

"Besides we're a team, teammates stick together" Chad said.

Troy did something that surprised Chad. He walked over and hugged him.

"Thanks, I really need a friend now" Troy said as tears gathered up in his eyes. Why was life so unfair, he had great friends and a woman he loved?

"Lets' talk dude" Chad said leading Troy over to the bleachers and sat down.

"Why did you break up with Gabi?" Chad asked.

"I can't explain, I love her but something happened" Troy said not telling the whole truth.

"Can you tell me?" Chad asked.

Troy nodded his head no and looked down at his sneakers. Chad was about to ask something but the bruise on Troy's elbow caught his attention.

"Didn't I give that to you a week ago?" he asked pointing to it.

"Um..." Troy said looking at his elbow, knowing that he would have to tell.

Troy was in fact saved from answering when the bell rang signally lunch was over.

"Well I have to get to class" Troy said than walked out of the gym leaving a very confused Chad. The gears in Chad's brain starting turning and than he left the gym not wanting to be late for his next class"
