Next chappy!!

Their first practice together was the next day. They had managed to find a power socket and use an extension cord for their music. Coach Bolton made a dividing line on the ground and asked everyone to pay attention to their own things. The boys and girls both began warming up and everything was going fine. Then the practicing began, and so did their troubles. Gabriella turned on their music, the one that Kelsi had recommended and everyone got ready, her at the front Kelsi standing several meters away, watching closely, and the other girls behind Gabriella. The boys had started their practice shots and balls were bouncing at all angles. Troy sent a look across at Gabriella, who was concentrating hard on her steps.

"Stop checking out Montez," Chad mumbled in his ear and Troy punched him on the shoulder. Chad laughed and pushed him back.

"Boys! Focus!" Coach Bolton yelled, shaking his head. "Boys! Come in!" Coach Bolton yelled as he noticed that their focus was drifting. "Okay, guys, this it. This season is crucial, you all need to be your best. There will be scouts everywhere," Coach Bolton told his team. "So do well in practice, and then you'll do well when it count!" The boys cheered and separated.

Gabriella was frowning in concentration. She swung one of her legs around and jumped, spinning around. Troy raised his eyebrows as she landed perfectly on the ground and continued dancing. It was sort of a mix between hip hop and ballet and Troy grudgingly had to admit that they weren't too bad. The song finished and the girls stopped while Kelsi put on another CD. Before the music started, Gabriella glanced over at the basketball boys and caught Troy's eye. She frowned and turned away quickly.

" Bolton! Head in the game!" Coach Bolton yelled. Troy quickly picked up his ball and past it hard and fast to Zeke. Zeke caught it on a jump and threw it to Jason Cross. It wasn't too soon before they were all sweating and Troy and Chad shed their tops, throwing them onto the stands. It was almost immediately that half the girls on the squad lost concentration, gaping at Troy and Chad's well-toned abs and muscles. When the third girl got the wrong step and backed into Sharpay, Gabriella groaned out-loud and stopped the music.

"Girls! Huddle!" She yelled. The girls all obediently came in, but several kept looking over their shoulders at the other half of the gym as Jason, Zeke and another boy took off their shirts. Gabriella rolled her eyes. "Look, as much as I know you want to stare at the guys, you gotta focus. Stare and flirt after we've got everything perfected okay?" She smiled slightly. "Besides, you won't be impressing them if you're getting your steps wrong, huh?" The girls giggled.

"This'll impress them, though," Sharpay said with a grin as she pulled off her shirt, revealing a blue and black bra. The girls all burst out laughing and the basketball team looked across to see what the commotion was about. Their mouths dropped as they saw Gabriella shed her top as well. Several other confident girls took off their tops, but the rest left them on, just grinning along with the rest.

"Whoa…" Chad muttered. "Told you Montez was hot! Check out that body!" Troy was, and even though his eyes were wide, he shook his head. "You can have her, I'm after McKessie." Troy shook his head again.

"No, dude, not interested," Troy said, turning back to the team.

When practice finished, everyone immediately fled to the centre stand where talking and laughing erupted. Gabriella stayed quiet, knowing that she was getting looks from the basketball team for just being in her bra. She wiped the sweat off her arms and head and took a long drink of water before pulling on a see-through halter-neck. Wesley Leonardo nudged her in the shoulder and grinned.

"You guys got some hot moves," he said with a grin. Gabriella laughed.

"Yeah, our boyfriends think so too," she replied with a smirk. Wesley flushed slightly and the Chad laughed. "All good, dude," Gabriella said with a grin and picked up her bag. Taylor suddenly rushed over. "What?" Gabriella asked.

"It's five," her friend said breathlessly. Her eyes widened.

"Oh, crap!" Gabriella hissed. She shouldered her bag, yelled 'good-bye' over her shoulder to everyone and sprinted off with Taylor. The other girls on the team didn't seem to surprised, but Troy turned to Sharpay, who was pulling on her top.

"What was that about?" He asked.

"She had to be somewhere," Sharpay replied, picking up her bag and shoving her towel inside.

"Where?" He pushed.

"Somewhere," Sharpay replied vaguely. A smile spread across her face. "Why you so interested?" She asked with a cheeky grin. Troy shook his head.

"Not interested," Troy muttered. He picked up his own bag, shouldered it, and walked off with Jason

Gabriella pulled up outside the day-care centre and yanked on the brake. Taylor watched as her friend jumped out of the silver convertible and ran up to the front door. She disappeared inside and Taylor leaned back in her seat, taking her phone out of her bag. There was a text message from Sharpay waiting. Taylor opened it and grinned as she read the message from her blonde friend.

Did G mak it n tym 2 sav da wrld?

Taylor texted back.

She jst rescuin da princess nw.

A reply came quickly.

R's so cute!!!

As if on cue, Gabriella appeared from the day-care, holding the baby in her arms. Rochelle had one thumb in her mouth and the other hand was twirling a strand of Gabriella's long hair around her fingers. Taylor smiled and put her phone away as she leaned across and opened the door for the car. Gabriella handed Rochelle to Taylor as she buckled in the child-safety seat.

"Hello, hunny! You been a good girl today?" Taylor asked. Rochelle giggled and played with Taylor's hands. "Huh? You been a good girl?" She nuzzled the little girl's cheek. "You are so cute, mm? So adorable!!" Gabriella laughed and Taylor sent a look in her direction.

"I swear, you make even weirder voices than I do," Gabriella said as she took Rochelle from her friend and put her in her safety seat.

"Hey, I may make the voice, but at least I don't make the faces," Taylor replied as Gabriella got into the seat next to her and put her key in the ignition. Gabriella gave Taylor a nudge and Taylor nudged her back. Then the two girls both burst out laughing.

So…REVIEW!!
