Chapter 3
Hey guys! I just have been thinking of so many new ideas, and have been getting some great suggestions, so I thought I would upload another chapter. Let me know what you guys think!
Gabriella's POV
It had been about a month since I became Troy Bolton's girlfriend. Of course Sharpay and Taylor squealed with delight when I told them. Chad just said, "Well, it's about time." Needless to say, they were happy for us and that made me extremely happy. After a long week filled with endless research papers and many projects, it was the weekend. I went to my locker to grab my bag and put the books that I didn't need for the weekend in my locker. I then felt two arms wrap around my waist. "Well, hello Mr. Bolton." I turned around in his arms. He kissed me on the nose. "Hello, Ms. Montez." I giggled. "Ready for the weekend?" The girls and I decided to have a slumber party tonight at Sharpay's. The boys would be at basketball practice and then would be off doing their boy things, whatever those might be. "Yeah, are you excited for your sleepover tonight?" I smiled at him. "Very much so. It's going to be fun to watch chick flicks and gossip." He smiled. "I'm glad you're looking forward to it." He gave me a quick kiss and then we walked out to our cars and met up with everyone else. "So, Gabi, Taylor will be over around 5, does that work for you?" I nodded. "Yeah, I'm just going to go home, grab my stuff and then I'll be over." Sharpay nodded. "Sounds great! I'm super excited!" She said clapping her hands. We all laughed at how excited Sharpay got about the little things. I gave Troy a kiss and then we parted ways.
After I had gathered everything I would need for the sleepover, I headed over to Sharpay's. She opened the door with a huge smile. "Gabi!" I answered back with just as much enthusiasm. "Shar!" We both laughed and headed to the living room where Taylor was. "So, I was thinking we could take a quick run to the store to make sure we have all the snacks we need." Taylor and I both nodded. We then all climbed into Sharpay's car and headed to the nearest store. We all were on a mission; we each went to different areas of the store to pick what we needed for our sleepover. As I was looking down the candy aisle for the perfect types of candy tonight, I heard a familiar voice from behind me. Not a voice that I wanted to hear. "Hello, Gabriella." He looked at him. "What do you want?" The boy that stood in front of me was my ex-boyfriend. There was nothing nice about him. We had a relationship that wasn't pleasant. If I didn't look right, or didn't do something right for him, he would get angry with me. I haven't told many people about this because I never thought there was a reason to bring it up. I had mentioned it to Taylor and Sharpay once, but didn't go into details. He stepped towards me and I took a step back. "You look so beautiful today." I started to get scared, my hands started shaking. "Leave me alone." He took another step closer. "If you don't leave me alone, I will scream." He reached for my hand and kissed it. "I'll see you around, Gabi." He then walked away. I just stood there, too afraid to even move. The girls then found me. "Hey Gabs, you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost." I didn't make eye contact with them. "Let's just pay and go back." I told them walking away. When we got into the car, the girls exchanged looks with each other, silently asking each other if they should ask him what happened. "I saw him." I finally said to them. Taylor looked back at me. "Who did you see?" She asked softly. "Remember that boyfriend I told you about? Charlie?" They both nodded. "Well, that's who I saw." "Gabs, oh my gosh. I'm so sorry. What can we do to help?" I just looked down at my hands. Troy had no idea about any of my past and of course I wanted to tell him about it, but I didn't know if it was too soon. After seeing Charlie might be a great time to tell him, but I didn't know if I was ready to relive the story again. "I want to see Troy." I said quietly. The boys were still at basketball practice, but Sharpay drove there anyways, she still drove there because she knew how much I really needed him at this moment. We pulled up to East High about 5 minutes later, we all got out of the car and headed towards the gym. I looked through the glass on the door and could see all of the boys practicing. I then found Troy, and opened the door. Chad looked over when he heard the door open. "Um, Hoops, someone is here to see you." Troy looked over at me and instantly knew something was wrong. He tossed the ball to Chad and came over to me. "Gabs, what happened?" I didn't say anything, I couldn't say anything, because I know if I did I would start crying and probably wouldn't stop. I just hugged Troy and buried my head into his chest. I heard Chad walk over to the girls and ask what happened. I then heard them whisper his name. That's when I started crying. And I didn't know when I was going to be able to stop. I know Troy was confused, but I just couldn't tell him right now. Troy lead me over to the bleachers and sat me down in his lap. Finally, my tears stopped and all that was heard were my sniffles. "Hey, look at me." I heard Troy tell me in a whisper. I looked at him. I knew my makeup was probably running down my face and my eyes were bloodshot red. He wiped the last of my tears. "What happened?" I looked at him, his eyes showed me how much he was worried. I couldn't not tell him. Even though in the gym during basketball practice wasn't the best place, he still needed to know. I didn't want to keep anything from him. "You're in the middle of basketball practice, though." He looked at me. "I want to know what happened. I care about you right now." He put a stray piece of hair behind my ear. I nodded. "Well, a while back, I dated this guy named Charlie. Everything started off great. I thought he was perfect. Until I started to notice that he was changing. About a month into our relationship, I noticed how fast he would get mad at me. When we would go out on dates, if I didn't look good enough to be seen with him, he would make me go inside and change until he felt I looked good enough. Then when things didn't go his way, or I didn't have something done for him on time, he would…" And here come the tears again. "Gabi, did he hurt you?" He said rubbing my back gently. I just looked at him and nodded. Troy pulled me in for a hug. "Brie, I am so sorry. I'm sorry you had to see him again." I looked back at Troy. "Thank you for being here for me. I just really wanted to see you." He smiled at me and kissed my forehead. "I'm glad you came to me." I got up off his lap. "I'm going to go back to Sharpay's now. Thank you again, Wildcat." He looked at me, and cupped my face in his hands and kissed me. "You're welcome, beautiful." I then turned around and walked back over to the girls. "Are you feeling a bit better now?" Taylor asked rubbing my arm. "Yeah, let's go have this sleepover." I said smiling at them. Before we left the gym, I turned around and gave Troy a smile. He looked at me and winked. I fall more for this boy each and every day.
The girls and I were back at Sharpay's house eating ice cream and getting ready to watch our girly movies. "So, Gabs, you sure you're okay?" I nodded. "I'm good. Thank you for taking me to see Troy." Sharpay leaned over and rubbed my arm. "Anytime. Now, are we ready to watch some cheesy girly movies?" Taylor and I both nodded and we started watching "The Last Song." After that movie was over, "I honestly love that movie. So sad, but so good." I said wiping away tears. "What's the next one?" Taylor asked. "How about The Notebook?" "Put it in!" Of course, we were crying to this movie too. After the movie we decided that a comedy was in order after all the crying. As Sharpay was picking out the next movie, my phone started to ring. "Hello?" "Hey, Brie." I instantly smiled when I heard his voice on the other end of the phone. "Hi Wildcat." "How are you? You doing any better?" I smiled. "Much better. Thank you." "It's my job." "Well, we are just about to watch another movie, so, I'll call you later?" "Sure Brie, I'll talk to you later." "Bye Troy." I hung up the phone and turned back to the girls, who were staring at me. I looked at them, confused. "What?" "You two are so cute, I can't even handle it." I blushed. "Let's just watch the movie." I said turning towards the TV. The next morning, I woke up to the smell of bacon and pancakes. I looked over at where Taylor and Sharpay were sleeping last night and didn't see them there. I got up and followed the smell into the kitchen. When I got there, I saw Zeke making our breakfast, Taylor and Sharpay cutting up some fruit and Troy and Chad sitting at the table talking about basketball (of course). I cleared my throat and they all looked in my direction. "Morning, Gabs!" Sharpay said, looking up from the strawberries she was cutting. "Morning." I said softly. I then looked over at Troy who had a big smile on his face. He walked over to me and scooped me up in a hug. "Good Morning, beautiful." He whispered in my ear and then kissed my forehead. "Morning, Wildcat." I sat down with everyone else and we started eating the delicious breakfast that Zeke had prepared for us. "Zeke, this is really good!" I said looking at him. "Thank you, Gabi." We all decided to join the boys in a basketball game. There was a basketball court down at one of the local parks. The girls were going to be on one team and the boys on another. "Gabi, why are you making us do this?" Sharpay whined as she put her hair into a ponytail. "Come on Shar, it's going to be fun." I told her lacing up my pink and purple running shoes. Sharpay groaned. "Come on." I took her hand and walked over to the basketball court where everyone else was.
We all joined the teams that we would be playing with. Taylor, Sharpay and I were on one side of the court, while Chad, Troy and Zeke were on the other side. After the girls and I decided on our game plan, we broke apart and moved to the spots on the court that we had decided on. The guys then broke apart and moved around the court. "Is everyone ready?" Chad asked us all looking around. Sharpay sighed. "Not really, but Gabs dragged me here." I laughed. "Because it's going to be fun!" Chad started off with the ball first, he dribbled it down the court and then Taylor stole it from him and tossed it to me. I then dribbled it down the court, as Troy tried to get it from me, but then I made a basket. "Wow, Montez can play basketball." He said looking at me. I shrugged. "Guess so." About an hour had passed and us girls were in the lead. All we needed was one more basket and we would win the game. We all huddled up again to discuss our game plan. "Okay, I think we should have Sharpay near the basket, Taylor you pass the ball to me, I'll pass it to Shar and Sharpay, you make the winning shot." I told her. "Uh, no. No way. I can't do that. I can barely play." I looked at her. "Shar, just try. Even if we don't win, so what? We played for fun." She sighed. "Alright, fine." I smiled at her. "Okay, let's get into our positions." We all got into our positions on the court and began the play we had discussed. The ball was then thrown to Sharpay and she threw the ball towards the basket. And the ball went in and we won! I ran to her and hugged her. "I told you, you could do it!" The boys walked up to us. "Damn, who know Sharpay could play basketball?" Chad said. "Well, looks like she impressed us all." "What do you guys think? Should we all go get some pizza?" Troy asked looking at everyone and grabbing my hand. We all agreed and headed to the cars. We all arrived at Luke's and ordered a large cheese pizza and all found a booth to sit in. "So, Gabs, I guess you were right, playing basketball was pretty fun." Sharpay said smiling at me. "I told you!" Everyone laughed. Our pizza arrived and we all grabbed a piece. After we had all stuffed our faces with the pizza, we all walked out to our cars. "So, see everyone tomorrow at school?" I said. Everyone groaned. I laughed. "Guys, guys, don't sound so excited." Everyone laughed and headed towards their cars. "So, Gabs, do you want a ride home?" Troy asked. I looked at him and nodded. "Yes please." We got into Troy's truck and headed towards my house. I looked over at Troy. "Thank you, Wildcat." He smiled at me. "No need to thank me. It's kinda my job." I giggled. "I'm also thanking you for yesterday. I haven't told many people about that, so, thank you for listening to me. I really appreciate it." "Thank you for trusting me and coming to me." He leaned over and placed a kiss on my cheek. "I'll see you tomorrow?" "You sure will, want me to come pick you up?" I smiled at him. "I'll be waiting. Good night, Wildcat." "Good night, Brie." He leaned over again, but this time placed a kiss on my lips. Oh my, this boy is just the best. And the best part? He's mine.
