You guys, did I start like a revolution or something?
Everyone seems to be crazy about Emily! I'm so shocked with the success rate. Ooh, that sounded smart. Haha. Anyways, I'm sorry for my reviewers that are sick! I hope you guys get better soon!
Until then, let's get on with chapter three, shall we?
Enjoy!
Troy sat in his room, thinking. He did that lately. Just cooped himself up in his room and thought.
He thought about Daylie and Gabriella mostly. He didn't know if he still loved Gabriella, but he knew one thing for sure: Him and Daylie didn't fit.
However, you try breaking up with someone that has an irresistible puppy dog pout! It's not easy.
"Troy? Troy? TROY!" Emily's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Huh? Oh, sorry," Troy mumbled.
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry," she sat down next to him.
"Oh, it's okay. You just want me and Gabriella to be together again."
"Got that right."
Troy sighed and collapsed backwards on his bed.
"Look, it's just that I know you and Gabs are right for each other. You guys just…fit."
"Then why did she break up with me?"
"She was insecure, like I was," she looked at him.
"Emily Bolton? Insecure?"
"Amazing, I know. But, teenage girls tend to get insecure about love," she said quietly.
There she was again, lying in bed, struggling with herself. Her and her stupid brain.
She had a total of one day left, and Troy and Daylie were still a couple. The only thing good about tomorrow was that it was the last day of school. Finally.
She had no idea how she was supposed to pull this off before school let out for summer. That stupid puppy dog pout.
Her cell phone began buzzing beside her and she picked it up to see a text message from Chad:
You still awake?
From: Chadinater
Yeah, what are you still doing up?
Can't sleep…What's wrong?
Nothing…There's always something wrong when you can't sleep.
It's nothing you need to worry about…Too late. I'm worrying, now spill.
It's just Daniel…
Daniel was Chad's new step-dad. Emily wondered what could be up with him.
What's happened?
Nothing, crap I gotta go. He's gonna catch me with my phone. I love you. Bye...
Emily read the message and put her phone down. She wondered what could be happening.
She gave herself some peace of mind by telling herself she would ask him in the morning. Emily turned over in the bed and fell into a fitful sleep.
"Morning, Chad," she walked up behind him.
"Oh, hey, Emster," he replied groggily, still facing his locker.
"What's wrong?"
"Just tired," he turned around.
"Chad, what's that?" she pointed to a bruise on his wrist.
"Hit the basketball goal shooting hoops last night."
"Klutz," she grinned.
"Very funny," he made a face at her and walked her to class.
Troy looked across the cafeteria and gazed at Emily and Chad talking happily and joking around with each other. Him and Daylie didn't have that. Emily was right; He belonged with Gabriella.
His gaze now fell upon Gabriella. She looked beautiful today. 'She looks beautiful every day,' his thoughts told him. He was about to call over to her, until a certain blonde interrupted him.
"Hey, Troy," Daylie sat next to him.
"Daylie we need to talk," Troy said in one breath.
"Okay, talk," she looked at him.
"Ithinkweshouldbreakup."
"Excuse me?"
"I think we should break up," he sighed.
"B-but why, Troy?" her eyes threatened tears.
Troy almost took it back, but then Gabriella's face popped into his mind, and he knew he had to do this. "I still love Gabriella," he said softly.
She simply sighed, "I should have known. Beauty doesn't compare to brains."
"Gabriella is brains AND beauty," he looked at her.
"Oh, so because she's smart, that makes her better than me?"
"It makes me more compatible with her!"
"Oh, so now you're saying we aren't compatible?!"
"Yeah, kinda!"
"Well, if you're going to treat me that way, Troy, I have one thing to say to you: We're through," she stood up and walked to another table.
"I BROKE UP WITH YOU ALREADY!" Troy yelled at her retreating figure, but turned back around and put his head in his hands.
"Hey, Natalie," Emily sat in front of her friend.
"Hey," she was digging through her purse.
"What are you looking for?"
"A stupid pen. I told Ryan I'd write him a note today," Natalie continued to dig through her purse.
Emily laughed gently, "Here." She handed Natalie a pen.
"Thanks," she took it and dug out a sheet of paper, "Have you talked to Chad today?"
"Yeah, for a little while. Why do you ask?"
"I don't know. He seems a little…out of it."
"He was up late last night," Emily suggested.
"It's not a tired thing. It's more of a distant thing."
"He did mention something about his step-dad," Emily thought aloud.
"You don't think it's anything serious do you?" Natalie looked up from her note.
"I doubt it. They probably just got into a fight or something…"
"Yeah. He'd tell us if it was serious," Natalie concluded and went back to scribbling on the paper.
Troy looked for Gabriella after school. Now that he was broken up with Daylie, he hoped she would take him back.
He walked quietly out to the music room, knowing that she was most likely in there.
He heard voices inside, and opened the door slowly.
"Gabbi?" he called.
"Troy! What are you doing in here?"
Troy looked in shock at what he saw.
Gabriella was sitting on the piano bench, and someone was sitting beside her, with their arm around her waist.
And that someone was Matt Richter, captain of the soccer team.
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNN
I love cliffhangers.
Anyways, I'm going to finish up this chapter, then move onto the next one.
Keep sending those reviews! They really do make me feel better!
Jordan made a C2 for all the Emily stories. My friend Haleigh is writing one using Emily, I suggest you all go check it out! Just go to sh0rty's profile and click on her C2s (there's only one: Emily Bolton) and hers is titled 'Anything But Pleasure'.
