"Uh…um, hi," Troy spluttered. Gabriella didn't drop her eyes, and let them remain coolly on his face. Troy looked uncomfortable, and was looking everywhere put at her. "Why weren't you at the musical?!" He burst out suddenly. Gabriella slowly stood up.

"My dad, he…" Gabriella broke off, then tried again. "My parents had this, uh, fight…" Troy frowned deeper and cut her off.

"You're blaming this on your parents?" He asked in a dangerously low voice. Gabriella frowned in confusion and tried to talk, but he cut her off again. "You're saying that they weren't gonna let you do the musical?" Troy began to rant and finally even quiet Gabriella couldn't take it.

"Shut up, Troy!" She screamed at him. Troy looked taken back by Gabriella's sudden outburst. "You don't understand!" Troy quickly recovered.

"Then tell me what happened!"

"Sorry, Troy, but I can't!" Gabriella snapped in a cold voice. "If I tell anyone, it will be someone who cares about me, someone who I trust…" Troy was about to say something, but she turned away and her last words made Troy freeze. "And that someone is obviously not you."


Gabriella turned her lamp on and sat at her desk, holding her diary and pen in her hand. She had confided her diary a heap in the past few weeks, and now she was writing in it again.

Dear Diary,

I went for a run around the lake. Who did I meet? Troy. He asked me why I missed the musical and I began to tell him. But then he got all angry and stuff--I have no idea why. He said I was blaming it on my parents, or something like that.

Anyway, the jerk wouldn't listen to me when I tried to tell him and now he's angrier at me than ever. He thinks that since he's the basketball captain, and the star of the school, that he has a right to anything and everything! Just because every other girl in the school is in love with him…They obviously don't know the real Troy.

The stuck-up…know-it-all…big-headed…JERK!!

Gabriella knew deep down that what she was writing wasn't true. But she was angry, and she let her feelings spill out.

Okay, what do you think? Might be a bit confusing during the fight bit, but, believe me, when people are angry, they jump to all kind of conclusions.
