I'M ALIVE! Well I apologize for this delay in giving out this chapter haha. Since my last update I've been swamped with school work and I finished an eight paragraph essay on comparing these two books. IT SUCKED. A lot. And I was gonna update on the weekend but I let the laziness get the best of me –looks innocent- Anyways I'm sorry for not updating sooner. I want to thank everyone for their amazing feedback on this story, it really means a lot to me! I got lazy with the replying to reviews so scrap that lol.

Note; I'm not sure how the American system works, but at my school it's Prom THEN finals then grad and all that other stuff. Lol. Just so you know.

Dedication: Alyssaaaaa cuz her love for David Archuleta inspired me for this chapter. No I'm kidding xD and I forgive you for making me depressed earlier on today. I'm serious lol. AND SILVIA TOO cuz she's been one of the main supporter of my fanfics since day one xD

Disclaimer: uhmm… no.

CHAPTER TWO:
A LITTLE TOO NOT OVER YOU

'Should be strong, moving on, but I see you
Sometimes I try to hide, what I feel inside
And I turn around, you're with him now.
I just can't figure it out
Tell me why you're so hard to forget
Don't remind me, I'm not over it
Tell me why I can't seem to face the truth
I'm just a little too not over you…'

- David Archuleta; A Little Too Not Over You.

-----

'Fucking broken heart…' he cursed mentally before hitting his head on the cool metal locker repeatedly, not caring about the throbbing pain coming from his forehead. He couldn't stand it. It wasn't supposed to be this hard on his part. He was the one that broke up with her. He was the one that thought he was doing the right thing before he was the one that got hurt. It was jealously, he knew that for a fact. He was jealous over the fact he had seen her so happy with him. No one made her smile like that except him and seeing her smile to another, it tortured him inside. Jealousy had filled Troy immensely but he kept reassuring himself that Gabriella loved him with ever fiber in her body. She told him every single fucking day. He should've known better, she had never looked at another person ever in their relationship. Troy's jealously got the best of him, thinking if she was so happy with some other guy then he could just let her go. But the whole jealously thing wasn't the only reason why he broke up with her. As he replayed his reason in his head it was kind of obvious what he was thinking.

It was a stupid, idiotic, fucked up reason.

'You're a fucking asshole, Bolton.' He turned the dial of the lock on his locker and he groaned when he couldn't open it. After three tries he finally opened it and when he did he wished he didn't. Right there, dangling on one of the hooks was Gabriella's heart-shape locket. With a shakily breath, he slowly lifted his hand, taking the silver jewelry off the hook and held it securely in his hand. The tears threatened to fall from his ocean blue eyes, his stomach turned inside of him. He fucked up so badly. Resting his head on the edge of his locker door, he grabbed his backpack, emptying out everything that he had in the metal locker he had used for the past four years of his high school life. After he placed the locket into his pocket where the velvet box was held, he sighed. Right now, all he had to worry about was finals and he couldn't even think straight because a certain beautiful and petite brunette kept entering his head everywhere he went.

"Yo! Hoops!"

Troy looked up from his locker, hoping he didn't look like he was on the verge of crying. He had done that a lot over the past few days; he didn't want to break down at school, just in the confinements of his home. Seeing his best friend, Troy nodded slightly at the afro-haired boy and went back to cleaning his locker. How was he supposed to study for exams? He was certain he was going to fail. Him and Gabriella always had tutoring sessions Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after school and now he was certain she wasn't going to help him now, not after what he did to her.

"I'm going to bomb the English exam." Chad Danforth stated, placing his signature basketball under his arm, when he approached his best friend's locker, leaning on the metal box beside his. Troy looked over at him and a slight smile graced his face for the first time today. What Chad was saying, it was a joke really. Ever since his best friend started dating Taylor, his grades were improving by a lot. No longer was Chad Michael Jordan (to say Troy was amused at the young age of five would be an understatement) Danforth getting C's and D's, instead he was getting B's and once in a blue moon, A's.

"Dude, you're not going to fail." Troy reassured him as he closed his bag and closed his locker with a slam. Chad looked over at him and shook his head, nerves evident on his structured face, "Troy, you don't know that man. You're not God!"

Rolling his blue eyes that once held so much life in them, he pushed his best friend's shoulder as if to say 'Snap out of it', before turning on his heel but he froze when he saw the beautiful figure that had been on his mind all day at her locker. He was so goddamn stupid…

"Did you try talking to her?"

Turning to look at him, Troy's shoulders slumped and nodded softly, "She said she had nothing to say to me, turned on her heel and left for homeroom."

If there was one thing Chad knew he was confident in was that Troy loved Gabriella more than anything else in the world. He looked at their situation through both points of view. Chad knew Troy broke up with Gabriella for a reason and he knew he would've done the same thing with Taylor if he was in the same situation as Troy. But he also knew how shitty it was for Gabriella and how Troy should've taken a different approach instead of breaking her heart on Prom night.

"Don't you guys have a tutoring session tonight?"

Troy nodded before groaning loudly, "I doubt she's going to help me now. I don't get Chemistry at all and with what's happening right now, I doubt I'll pass all my classes, period. Why is this so hard? I mean, I didn't think it would affect me because I thought I was doing the right fucking thing but now I- " he stopped midsentence when he saw him approach his now ex-girlfriend's locker. His hand gripped the strap of his backpack that was slung over his shoulder and averted his eyes away from the two. It was like the break up wasn't affecting her at that moment. She was smiling again, she didn't look broken at all. He couldn't figure it out.

"They're just friends, Troy." Chad stated putting a hand on his best friend's shoulder.

"It doesn't matter anymore… she doesn't want me to explain. She wants nothing to do with me," he said dejectedly before walking off to his beat up truck in the middle of the East High parking lot as quickly as he could.

He hated it so much. He hated the fact that the thought of the future scared him. Three years together and now he was scared? When Troy approached his truck he threw his bag into the passenger seat before taking his own seat in the driver's and hit his head on the steering wheel. The reality of them being far away from each other, the fact that things were changing, it was all hitting him like a ton of bricks. His reason for breaking up with her was stupid. She loved him and he loved her more than anything else in the word, they would've made it through the distance and the changes together. Troy told himself he was doing the right thing. His Gabriella was going to away with a guy who had been hitting on her since last year. A guy Gabriella said she was just friends with and Troy's jealously got the best of him. He was already losing her and they hadn't even graduated yet. He didn't want to get hurt in the end but he did, breaking up with her was the hardest thing he ever had to do.

With tears threatening to fall from his blue eyes for what seemed the millionth time that day, he put his truck into reverse speeding off to the place he locked himself in through the whole weekend. Gripping the wheel tightly he let out a shaky breath and he turned left towards his neighbourhood.

Too bad he didn't see the speeding truck coming at him full speed.
