I know this chappy is really short, but it worked well ending where it does.

Okay, i keep getting heaps of emails saying that people have added this to their favourite story or story alert or favourtie author which is great, thanks(!), but please review!!! I know I'm getting all of these reads but with only 13 review i feel like maybe my friends are just sending me those emails to make me feel good (okay, so my friends probably wouldn't bother doing that, but i needed to get my point across), so PLEASE REVIEW!!! i don't mind advice, criticism or just messages saying "I like cheese" (i'm not sure if thats allowed but whatever), i just wan that little review number to say 20! (or more, preferably more but at least 20). I'm not going to say that i wont continue this i dont get reviews cos i like where this story is heading and have already mostly written my next chapter, but i'd like review anyway! PLEASE!!!

Chad and Troy sat at the kitchen table talking about the only they ever talked about, basketball.

"Hey, have you heard how yesterdays game went?" asked Troy, Chad shook his head; he'd been at a family thing and hadn't been able to go to the game.

"Was it good?" Chad asked, just as Gabriella and Taylor entered the kitchen. Gabriella froze staring at Troy in horror, and Taylor raised her eyebrows at her boyfriend. The boys looked up at their girlfriends' accusing glares.

"Okay, so I know that whole situation sounds really suspicious, but I swear that that isn't what we were talking about." Troy said seriously, his eyes never leaving Gabriella's. She obviously wasn't convinced. "I swear, and if we had been talking about that I would have 'yes' way faster." Gabriella shot another glare at Troy and stormed out of the room. Taylor and Chad watched her leave, then turned back to Troy, who was staring at the door she'd stormed out of. He tried to shrug it off but found that he couldn't look away from the door, trying to work out what exactly had made him say what he'd just said.

"Dude, you better go talk to her." Chad said, breaking the awkward silence and glancing at Taylor as she nodded in agreement. Troy shook his head.

"I guess it was a little too early for jokes." He tore his eyes away from the door and forced himself to smile light-heartedly, hoping that Chad and Taylor would believe he wasn't worried. Neither of them did.

"So you were joking?" Gabriella's strangled voice came from the next room and Troy stood quickly, banging his leg on the table that he was sitting at.

"No, that's not what I mean! I just meant that- it was too early to- Gabriella!" He saw her run out of the living room, heard he front door open and bang closed again and heard a car starting outside. He stared at the floor as the car pulled out of the driveway and the sound faded away as it disappeared up the street.

"Smooth." Taylor said sarcastically, turning and walking out of the room. Troy flopped back down into his chair.

"You know this is your fault," he shot at Chad, desperately wanting to make someone else feel his guilt.

"Yeah, sorry man. But how was the game? I'm sorry I wasn't there, but I had to be at my cousin's wedding, sort of unavoidable."

"It was cool, we won." Troy answered shortly; the last thing he wanted to talk about right now was basketball. Chad looked at him critically.

"She'll get over it, just ignore it for a while." He advised in what he thought was a comforting voice.

"Chad!" Taylor and Troy both yelled. Chad shrugged and headed towards the door.

"Look, I may have given you the shovel, but it was you who dug the hole." And with that, Chad grabbed Taylor's hand and they left. "Oh, and by the way dude." Troy looked up. "She took your car." He groaned and let his head fall back onto the hard wooden table.
