Friday
"Good afternoon everyone how are you, good afternoon everyone how are you, good afternoon everyone how are you on this FRIDAY afternoon," sing the nursery nurses and children
"Ah I'm so glad it's the weekend," groans Gabriella
"I know this week seems to have gone of forever," agrees Kelsi
"And we have a sleepover at Sharpay's with the gang," says Gabriella "What could be better," she adds
The door opens and Troy walks in.
"You actually working," says Troy
Gabriella ignores him and talks with the child next to her.
Kelsi nudges her.
"What?" asks Gabriella
Kelsi points to Troy.
"My office now," says Troy and he walks out.
Gabriella stays were see is.
"If you don't go you'll lose your job," says Freya
"No I won't," says Gabriella walking to the door and going to Troy's office
She goes in.
"You wanted to see me?" she asks
"Yeah you need to do your job you can't just sit around and chat you have children to look after who's parents are paying you to and excepting to be with there children every second you can so they don't get hurt," says Troy
"Can I go back in and do my job now?" asks Gabriella
"No I want to talk about your behaviour," says Troy
"What about my behaviour?" asks Gabriella
"Your not a good role model to the kids your always back chatting me and arguing with me and that is showing the kids the wrong thing to do," says Troy
"We do it in here they can't see and you always start it," says Gabriella
"You always start it," says Troy
Taylor comes in.
"You both always start it Gabriella go back to your room," she orders and leaves the office
"Urrgggh," screams Gabriella going back into her room
"Gabi wanna cuddle?" asks a toddler named Lucy
Gabriella smiles and bends down to pick up the child.
"I would love a cuddle Lucy," says Gabriella
"Oh look here's the trolley," says Vicky
Gabriella puts Lucy down "Come on let's go wash our hands," says Gabriella
The toddlers go to the bathroom and wash their hands before they are seated and have bibs put on.
The day goes on as a massive blur until the gang are sat in Sharpay's lounge laughing at Hangover 2 playing on the 56 inch TV.
Taylor and Chad have one of the love seats, Sharpay and Zeke the other love seat. Kelsi and ran are stretched out on the long sofa. While Troy is sat in one arm chair and Gabriella is in the other.
Jason isn't there as he didn't want to leave Danielle out as she is not comfortable with the gang yet.
"That was such an awesome movie," says Chad
"What's next?" asks Ryan
"The Notebook," choruses the girls
"Come on we watch that every time choose a different one even if it is a chick flick," groans Troy
"What about Cheaper by the Dozen we haven't watched that in ages," says Gabriella
They agree on Cheaper by the Dozen and settle down to watch it.
Half way though the movie it is 1 in the morning and all the couples are asleep snuggled up to their partner. However Troy and Gabriella are wide awake and still paying attention to the movie. Gabriella meanwhile is crying when Mark runs away.
"Are you crying?" asks Troy
"It's so sad," sniffs Gabriella
"Oh cry me a river," scoffs Troy
"Are you telling me if you had children you wouldn't cry if your child ran away," says Gabriella
"I'd get upset it would be my child but this is a movie it isn't real," says Troy
"I'm a girl I cry at sad movies," sniffs Gabriella
Troy chuckles.
Gabriella chucks a pillow at him.
"Hey!" exclaims Troy chucking it back
This goes on for 5 minutes until Troy throws the pillow and misses as it goes behind the couch and neither can be bothered getting up to get it.
Gabriella glares at him.
"That was my pillow," hisses Gabriella
"Well get up and get it," taunts Troy
"You threw it!" excliams Gabriella
"Who is shouting," says Sharpay groggily
"Gabriella," says Troy
"Gabriella is asleep," says Sharpay before dropping back off and snuggling up to Zeke in her sleep.
Troy looks over and sees Gabriella is indeed asleep. Curled up in the arm chair in what can not be a comfy position. Her neck and head resting over the arm rest and the rest of her body curled up.
Troy doesn't know what it is but something overcomes him and urges him to pick her up and go and put her in a bed so she is more comfy.
His feet think before his head and before he knows it he is tucking Gabriella into a bed and kissing her on the forehead.
"ARLIGHT WHO PUT ME IN A BED LAST NIGHT I SPEFICALLY REMEMBER BEING IN THE ARMCHAIR AND NOW I AM IN A BED," shouts Gabriella storming into the lounge
"Why are you angry about being but in a bed those arms chair are uncomfortable to sleep in," says Sharpay
"Because someone touched me without my permission that's like sexual harassment," says Gabriella
"Where's Troy?" asks Chad
"Troy I bet it was him," shouts Gabriella grabbing her stuff and storming out of Sharpay's house
At Troy's house he hears a car pulling up at side his house and goes to unlock the front door knowing it would be Gabriella come to have a go at him.
2 seconds later he knows he is not mistaken when he hears footsteps coming down the hall and into the lounge were he is.
"What possessed you?" asks Gabriella trying to control her voice
"You looked uncomfortable," replies Troy studying his paper
His paper suddenly flies out his hands. He looks at them up and at Gabriella and then back down at his hands.
"There was something there oh yes a paper," he states glaring at Gabriella
"You moved me because I looked uncomfortable you hate me shouldn't you want me to be uncomfortable," shrieks Gabriella
Troy gets up and walks past her into his kitchen to make a cup of coffee.
"What one?" he asks
"Yes," replies Gabriella "Why would you want me to be comfortable?" she asks again
"Contrary to your beliefs Gabriella it isn't all about you," says Troy "And I don't hate you," he adds
"I didn't say it's all about me wait you don't hate me," says Gabriella
Troy shakes his head leaning against his kitchen counter and sipping his coffee.
Gabriella wraps her hands around the coffee cup Troy has just given her allowing the warmth to seep into her body and warm her up as she processes this information.
"You don't hate me?" asks Gabriella
"I don't hate you," confirms Troy
"Then why do you act like you do?" asks Gabriella
"Because you do," answers Troy
"So now what?" asks Gabriella
"If you hate me I will act around our friends like I hate you all so. However if you don't actually hate me then it is up to you," says Troy
"Let's act around our friends so I can figure this out," says Gabriella
Troy nods and sips from his coffee cup.
"So if you don't hate me?" asks Gabriella
"You're like a friend to me," lies Troy
"Bolton you know I know when you're lying," smirks Gabriella
"I'm in love with you ok. I act like I hate you because I don't want to be in love with you I try and deny it to myself because there is no way you love someone like me," exclaims Troy
"Someone like you?" asks Gabriella
"Yes me. A jerk I was a jerk to you in high school I ditch you to be popular I bullied you," explains Troy
"I'm over that Troy. I forgave you for that a long time ago," says Gabriella
"No you didn't" exclaims Troy
"Fine Troy I forgive you for bullying me and ditching me in high school," says Gabriella
"Thank you," says Troy
"But I'm not going out with you," says Gabriella before leaving the house.
Seconds later Troy's phone buzzes.
