Head Cheerleader
I watched as Gabriella brushed off Taylor and I waved. She smiled slightly and sat down, picking at her food while Troy brushed off Chad and Kate and Jacinta stared curiously. I shook my head and they nodded, turning back to the cheerleaders. I reached across, grasping Gabriella's hand and squeezed it reassuringly.
"Now about the drive through mall?" I joked, seeing her mouth twitch. But she stared after Troy sadly and I sighed, as Taylor and Chad disappeared.
"Hey, chin up." I said. "I mean, look at it this way." I paused as I tried to figure something out. "Well…You've made a wonderful impression." She snorted and I shrugged.
"I'm not very good at this stuff. I usually cause arguments." I said, winking at a passing guy. He tripped and I sniggered, turning back to Gabriella. She sighed and stood up as the bell rang.
"I'll see you later." I said before dumping my lunch in the bin.
"We're singing again." I jumped, hitting my head on my locker, and turned around to see Troy there.
"Oh, Troy. Uh what?" I shut my locker and fell into step beside him.
"Gabriella told me about how you said you would help us. And I want to thank you for looking after her while I was being a jerk." He said. "And we're going to do the call back." I grinned, throwing an arm around his neck and kissing him on the cheek.
"It's about time!" I said, laughing. "Now I can finally get Gabriella to talk about the drive through mall." He blinked.
"What?" He asked, looking confused. I sniggered and flicked his forehead.
"Never mind. I'll see you later." I said, heading towards my English class. The day continued with Troy and Gabriella dodging and singing and I nodded in satisfaction during last period. This could actually work.
Yes I know this is really short but I lost my muse for this chapter. Next chapter is Game Day and after.
