2 Weeks Later

Gabriella had been ignoring and avoiding Troy since Sharpay and Ryan's party. She had met Kelsi Neilson too, Sharpay's friend and personal composer. (Kelsi is just like her character in the movie. Just to save me some describing) Gabriella had gotten closer to Sharpay, Ryan, Taylor and Kelsi. But she was closest to Sharpay and Taylor.

Troy was very frustrated. He tried to catch Gabriella in the hallways or when she was alone. But she always managed to shake him off. He hadn't been trying hard enough, but he didn't want to seem too desperate. He'd lose his rep if he even seemed a little desperate. And then he'd be no one!

At Sharpay's House Friday Night

Sharpay had invited Taylor and Gabriella over for a slumber party.

"Sooooo…Gabriella. I overhead Troy and Chad talking about you!" Taylor started.

"Well of course you heard CHAD talking!" Gabriella retorted trying to change the subject. Sharpay sniggered. They all knew Taylor had a massive crush on Chad. Well who didn't? Anyone close to her saw her blush at the mention of his name. Or the fact that she had love hearts in her book with the initials C.D and drew afros on top of the hearts.

"Uhhhh…hmmmm…Hey stop changing the subject! Do you wanna know what he said?" Taylor caught on to what Gabriella was doing.

"Um no! You guys know that I'm forbidden to see or talk to Troy!" Gabriella said, making the last sentence dramatic. "His girlfriend warned me!"

Taylor and Sharpay spit out the soda they were drinking. "Girlfriend? Troy Bolton, The Troy Bolton has a girlfriend?" Sharpay stuttered out.

"Uh huh! Angela McCann! Didn't you guys know?" Gabriella asked, very confused. Taylor and Sharpay shared a look, and then burst out laughing. Tears were threatening to fall.

"TROY…GIRLFRIEND…ANGELA…HAHAHAHAHA!" Taylor managed to get out through her laughs.

"What's so funny?! I'm sure he's had girlfriends before." Gabriella stated still confused.

Sharpay and Taylor stopped laughing and became serious. Is she crazy? They both thought. She must be high!

"Ok let's get something straight honey," Sharpay started. "Troy Bolton, playboy Troy, Troy the basketball boy, bad boy Troy and his posse of lunkhead basketball minions don't do relationships! The day Troy gets a girlfriend is the day I will eat my mom's cooking!" Sharpay's mom was never meant to enter a kitchen.

"Sharpay's right. Troy has never had a girlfriend. Probably thinks it'll tie him down for life or something. Troy has a rule: No strings attached! That's why half the girls in the school have broken hearts!" Taylor said.

"Then why did Angela say they did?"

"Angela McCann has been chasing Troy since 7th Grade, right after when she finally got it in her head that boys didn't in fact have deathly cooties and found out what a breast job was and that she wanted one. She's slept with him a couple times but that's all that's happened and she doesn't like it. She'd do anything to be with him." Sharpay informed the confused girl.

"Oh." Gabriella said, kinda bowing her head down. For what reason, she did not know.

"Well I'm kinda glad you didn't sleep with him. It's good to see him finally not get the girl! It frustrates me to see him get every girl in the school and then forget them." Taylor said. Sharpay nodded her head and agreed.

"Hey why don't we mess with his head?" Sharpay suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Gabriella and Taylor said.

"Why don't you like play hard to get. It'll be so much fun to see him fall for you but for you to ignore him and not give him the time of day!" Sharpay said getting excited.

"Ooohhhhh yeah! Troy Bolton will finally get what he deserves for breaking everyone else's heart. Please, please, puh-lease do this Gabriella!" Taylor begged. Taylor really wanted this, not only for the reasons she stated but because she will probably see Chad more since the 2 boys were best friends.

"Oh alright." Gabriella wanted to please her best friends. "But what about Angela? She'll make my life hell if I even look at Troy!"

"Leave Angela to me! She's scared of me! Ever since Kindergarten." Sharpay said shrugging

"Well can you blame her? You poured mud on her and told her that mud is poisonous and makes you shrivel up!" Taylor recalled. "Then you paid people to tell her she looked like a prune!"

"Yeah. Good times, good times!" Sharpay could still remember Angela's horror-stricken expression.

"But what do I do? I've never played hard-to-get!"

"Just flirt a little but don't let him do anything! Don't sleep with him or else he'll just move on and not give a damn about you!" Sharpay told her.

"Oh really? That's it? That's what I do with most guys…only I sleep with them eventually."

"Yeah, about that Gabs. Why do you do that?" Taylor asked as nicely as she could.

"Ohhhh…umm…" Gabriella started clutching at an un-seen locket around her neck. "Let's watch a movie girls!" she said changing the subject. "How does Pirates of the Caribbean 3 sound? Johnny Depp looks so hot in it! And don't get me started on Orlando Bloom! And I want to know if Will and Elizabeth get married! And if they find Captain Jack."

Sharpay and Taylor agreed. They knew that they wouldn't get it out of her tonight and the thought of Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp got them excited. Gabriella stuffed the DVD into Sharpay's pink DVD player and sat down. But all through the movie she couldn't concentrate. She just sat there clutching the golden heart locket that never left her neck and thinking about the man who gave it to her.

The 3 teenagers had watched 2 and a half movies after that. They fell asleep during Scary Movie 4. Sharpay and Taylor were fast asleep but Gabriella wasn't. She was softly singing a song, the one she always sang when she thought of him. She was holding onto the golden heart shaped locket, the one that never left her neck, for dear life. Oh how she missed him! He left when she was 14, 3 years ago. Her life had changed a lot after he left.

Next Monday

Gabriella was taking out her books from her locker. She felt someone's hot breath on her neck. She turned around.

"Hey. Wanna do a quickie in the closet?" the guy said.

So who is HE? Haha I know. And you guys don't. LOL and who asked Gabriella? Is it Troy or someone else? Whoever it is, they will reveal you to a clue on Gabriella's mystery! The next chapter will be a big clue. Well maybe! Depends on how you read it or if you're Nancy Drew!

I'd like to thank XalzX for giving me the idea to make Gabriella hard to get. I planned on making her easy but I realized it was a good idea.

Review please!
