"Gabriella! I need you to run down to the dairy and pick up some milk!" Mrs Montez yelled upstairs. Gabriella trotted down and pulled her hoodies hood over her head, tucking her long hair into it. Mrs Montez handed her some money, and Gabriella jogged from the house and down the pathway.
As she waited in the queue to the line, she realized Troy and Chad were in front of her. Gabriella turned her back on them, hoping they wouldn't recognize her because of the hood.
They didn't.
"…She abandoned you, remember?" Chad was saying. Gabriella heard Troy sigh. "She left you to do the play with Sharpay." Gabriella realized they were talking about her, and about the musical.
"Yeah, I guess," Troy said in a tired voice. "But, we haven't exactly been nice to her or anything. She did try to talk to us, but we did kinda snub her off." Gabriella wondered why Troy was defending her when he had seemed so mad.
"But she didn't call in advance or anything!" Chad exclaimed. "I mean, that was the least she could do."
"S'pose so," Troy said, biting his lip. Then they moved up and the conversation stopped as they paid for their things and left, still not noticing Gabriella. She didn't know whether to feel relieved or hurt.
Gabriella paid for the milk and then walked back home. After handing the milk to her mum, she said;
"I…uh…need to go clear my head. I'm gonna go for a walk, 'kay? Be back in about an hour," Gabriella ran back outside without waiting for a reply. Gabriella wasn't unfit, but she was a biggi on exercise, so Mrs Montez looked surprise as Gabriella disappeared from view. She shrugged and went back to making dinner.
Gabriella jogged to the lake, the place she went when she needed to think. She then changed from a jog to a full--out sprint.
She sprinted to get rid of the feeling.
To leave the past horrible weeks behind.
To leave everything behind.
Unfortunately, the only thing she left behind were her imprints in the gravel trail and the faint smell of her perfume. She still had all her worries as she slowed down, as well as a throbbing foot and a bright red face.
Gabriella slowed down breathing hard, and collapsed on the warm grass. She closed her eyes and began breathing more normally. Suddenly a shadow fell over her, blocking her sun, and Gabriella sat up.
"Troy," she murmured.
Bit of a cliffy, huh?
