Hi again. Here's my next chapter, I'll be posting a poll as the next chapter almost straight after I post this one. Oh and again, I'm afraid this wasn't proof read so if you spot any mistakes don't hesitate to tell me!

"Gabriella!" Troy shouted across the hall. Troy could see her start to run away. He ran after her, leaving Sharpay standing there, watching him run away.
Troy eventually caught up with her.
"Gabi, it wasn't... we weren't-"
"Oh, don't waste your voice Troy. You'll need it to sing with her in Twinkle Towne." said Gabriella.
"I didn't have any other choice, Gabi. You had tonselitus, Miss Darbus said that your mom told the school that you wouldn't even be able to do the musical." said Troy.
"I know, and I still can't sing without croaking. My mom said that I could go into school after lunch to see how you were doing, and well, I didn't expect to see you doing that." Gabriella said, looking up at the ceiling while she spoke.
"But me and Shar weren't even doing any-"
"Don't give me that! I saw you!" shouted Gabriella, in a tone of voice she had never accessed before. Troy grabbed her shoulders and gave her a little shake. Then he spoke to her, eye to eye.
"Gabriella, I swear on my life, I did not do ANYTHING with Sharpay, apart from tickling her" said Troy, smiling as he remembered her girlish screams.
"Please believe me!" he finished.
Gabriella got lost in his big, shiny, blue eyes. Those sincere, loving eyes.
"I'm sorry Troy, I believe you. I just know how badly she wants to take you away from me." she said, but she still felt jealous of Sharpay Evans.
After the dress rehearsal, Sharpay gestured for Troy to come and speak to her privately. She walked into her dressing room and he followed obediently. They both sat down.
"Okay Troy, I've got something uber important to tell you." said Sharpay.
"Uber?" Troy said, trying not to laugh.
"Oh, thats my new word. It means 'really'." replied Sharpay.
"Oh."
"Well this isn't very easy to say, and I need you to take this seriously." said Sharpay.
"Alright, shoot!" Troy said.
"Well, for a long time now, I've been... I've been having... feelings for you, really deep feelings. I thought at first it was just a stupid crush, but it didn't go away, and I can't keep it any longer. I love you so much, I get so mad that I'm no with you. I take out all my anger on everyone else, and I built up such a bad reputation people call me names behind my back, they graffiti my locker, they get food all over my clothes and they STEAL MY MUSICAL!" Sharpay was making her way into a full blown tantrum here, so Troy thought it was time to intervene.
"Huh? What? For how... long?" he asked, taken aback by the sudden news.
"Probably since we started High School. That's when I really fell for you. Don't you remember back at Elementry School and Junior High? I wasn't mean. I wasn't 'icy'. That's because I wasn't so madly in love with you it made me hate myself." Sharpay looked up to see his reaction.
"I-I-I had no idea." Troy said completely gobsmacked. He didn't even know that Sharpay was capeable of loving feelings of any kind.
"You had no idea? Didn't I make it kind of obvious? The flirting? The constant following you around? I got ou hired at my country club, it came at a price! I got you a scholarship, then you went and blew it by buzzing back off to your precious Wildcats. I pretended to suck at golf, I CRIED when I thought you wouldn't sing with me. I cried even more when that Kelsi girl set you up with Gabriella and I didn't learn that flipping song. Hello, I HATE Gabriella?"
"Well, I, I guess I just thought you were just trying to get me and Gabriella apart because you hated her. Not because you liked me." mumbled Troy.
"Troy, I think I, love you!" Sharay blurted out.
"Now Sharpay, don't be stupid, you can't-"
Sharpay looked as if she was about to cry.
"Look, you're a very attractive, beautiful person, Shar." she smiled, normally only Ryan called her Shar.
"But I," Troy started.
Sharpay interupted.
"But." she said, disappointed, knowing a rejection was coming.
"But" continued Troy, "I'm still dating Gabriella, and shes a very nice person who doesn't deserve to have her heart broken." said Troy.
"But do you love her Troy? Do you really love her?" Sharpay asked.
"I err, um, yeah?" answered Troy, unsure.
"I'd think about it if I were you Bolton. Do you actually love Gabriella Montez?"
"Look at the time, Shar! My dad was expecting me home 20 minutes ago! I better be on my way..." said Troy, packing up his stuff.
Leaving Sharpay in the theater, Troy walked home. He sighed. Did he really love Gabriella?
OK I haven't really been happy with the amount of reviews but I've been putting up chapters anway. PLEASE REVIEW! Thank you! Anyway, sorry about the Troyella hints, but don't worry, TROYPAY CONQUERS ALL!
