"Brie," Troy started to say, Gabriella held up her hands; tossing him his wallet and shaking her head. "I-I don't want to hear it, Troy-" "Brie, let me explain-" "You have nothing to explain, Troy." She said, gesturing to the picnic of tacos, "keep the tacos...I got them for you anyway."
She sniffled and turned toward the door. Sam looked up at the couple, "Hey what's wrong guys?" Gabriella turned to Sam, "Just...complications Mr Bolton, I'm sorry..but I can't stay here."
Sam looked at Troy, Gabriella walked out the door, "Brie! Wait!" Troy said. "Troy?" Sam spoke. Troy caught up with Gabriella at her car, grabbing her arm, "Please...let me explain-" she shook her head, "No! I don't want to hear it!" she had tears brimming in her eyes.
Troy bit his lip, "Please.. please don't cry.. please, I am so sorry, just please, listen to me-" she shook her head, "Stay away from me-" He held her hand, "Brie.. please, it was a huge mistake, I was drunk, and I regret everything.. please-"
She looked at him, "How would you fucking feel if I got drunk, and slept with some guy I didn't even know? how would you feel Troy? could you forgive me?!" she yelled.
Troy looked at her, "Yes, because I love you.. and I know you wouldn't ever do it again, cause I promise you forever that I will never ever do that to you again."
Gabriella shook her head, "No..I..I can't do that..Can't forgive you for doing that Troy...I just can't!" "Brie-" she shook her head, "It's over Troy...I'm done."
"Brie..." Troy said, grabbing her elbow, "I love you-" Slap! His head snapped to the side, Gabriella's hand stung like his cheek. "How. Dare. You." She seethed, "You...you say those words-after you...you...you...ugh!"
She turned on her heel and marched away from him; as fast as she could. Troy turned his head, "BRIE!" She whipped around, "Just stay away from me! I HATE YOU!"
Troy froze, "Brie..please." she shut her door, pulling out of his drive-way and driving to Hanna's. Troy sighed watching her leave down the street. tears sting his eyes, "Baby Brie..." he whispered.
3 Weeks later at School, Gabriella was at her locker with Hanna putting away her history book and taking out her chemistry book. "So you haven't talk to him since then?" Gabriella shook her head, "Nope." Hanna sighed, "But who are you going to go with to the Winter Wonderland Dance?"
Gabriella shrugged, "I don't know." "But you already have the dress?" Gabriella was about to say something until someone spoke behind her. "Maybe I could help." Gabriella turned around and saw Preston. "Preston..Hi.."
Preston smiled, "Hi Gabriella." Troy and Chad had just came around the corner and heard the next words that came out of Preston's mouth, "If you have no one to go with to the Winter Wonderland Dance, I would love to escort you."
Gabriella smiled, "Preston, I'm flattered and all but-" her eyes snapped to Troy who was eyeballing Preston like an insect. she looked at Troy then at Preston and smiled, "I'd love to go with you.."
Troy's eyes narrowed, his stomach clenched and his forehead he felt get really hot. He watched Preston get that dopey smile on his face, and then Gabriella grab the piece of paper that he handed her-wait, what? Was that his...? Oh!
"Thanks Preston...see you Friday." "Yeah.." Gabriella smiled, "meet me at the punch bowl?" "Eh," Preston said, "how about...under the disco ball? A kiss under the disco ball is suspose to be good luck for the whole night."
Troy narrowed his eyes in jealousy at Preston, Gabriella smiled at Preston, "umm then we should make it a lucky night...I'll call you tonight." He smiled, "Great." he kissed her cheek walking away. Gabriella turned to face Troy and Chad. "Hey Chadster." she hugged him, and then looked at Troy, "Oh Hi Troy, didn't see you there.."
"Of course you didn't..." Troy wanted to say, he wanted to grab her by the shoulders by the shoulders and kiss her till she and him were old and gray and in the ground.
But instead, he cleared his throat and gripped his backpack strap tighter to him. "I'm going to class." He said curtly, barely acknowledging his ex girlfriends presence. Gabriella bit her lip, part of her dying inside when Troy hadn't said anything to her.
Gabriella walked into the classroom just a few mintues after he did. she saw him sitting up front. she bit her lip going to the back and sitting in her seat. Troy looked back at her as he saw her taking out her notebook to take notes. Troy sighed, he missed her so much. he was a huge idiot for cheating on her.
Chad sat behind him, "Dude, don't look at her-" Troy looked at him, "I can't.. I love her chad, and..and I was an huge idiot for doing what I did.." Chad sighed, "I have an idea on how you can get her back."
Troy nodded, "How? anything?" Chad sighed, "I cheated on Taylor once-" "Three times." Troy implied. Chad narrowed his eyes, "Do you want my help or not?" Troy sighed, "Yes. Go on."
Chad smiled, "I got to her house way before she got home, and sneak into her room, and set a picnic and told her how much she meant to me, and how much I was sorry.. and we we're together again."
Troy narrowed his eyes in thought, "I don't know..." he said hesitantly, his thoughts drifting to what he'd like to do with Gabriella if he got to her room before she ever did. Something that involved taking her by the hips, kissing her hard and long and good and tossing her on the bed and making her his all over again;
hot kisses down her throat, hearing her moan and scream his name as he thrust into her- "Dude, hello...earth to Troy-" then he'd fondle her breasts and her fine derriere and listen to her moan softly at his expert touch- "Troy! Whatever you do don't get up!" "Huh?" Troy said, snapping from his...train of thought.
"Dude what are you-" "I got distracted.. and well my mind just went to her." he looked back at her as she was taking notes. "I want her back so bad Chad...I don't want Preston's hands on her." Chad sighed, "Well, It's your choice."
Troy sighed looking away, and looking back at her again, her eyes connected with his, he saw more hurt in them, and she looked away and talked to Hanna.
He sighed, turning around in his seat and pulling his notebook from his backpack as the teacher started talking. He heard...NOTHING.
He couldn't remember what any of his teachers had lectured the class about, or what the homework was because his mind always would go to Gabriella. Her lips. Her eyes. Her nose. Her hands. Her lips. Her legs. Her fine derriere. Her lips. Her laugh. Are her lips on the list?
Gabriella walked into her house, Jason was sitting at the table, "Welcome home from school." he smirked. she rolled her eyes walking upstairs. Jason didn't beat her much anymore, not ever since the incident that had happen.
Gabriella walked upstairs and her phone rang. she slipped it out of her pocket and it was Preston. she answered it, "Hello." "Hi Gabriella." she smiled, "Hi Preston..what's up?" Preston chuckled, "Nothing much. wanna do something tonight?"
Gabriella bit her lip, "Umm.. I don't know. I have a lot of homework...and-" "Come on, please." "umm sure, sounds great." he smiled, "Great. pick you up at 7."
Hanna sat in the car with Troy and Caleb. Caleb her boyfriend was driving with Troy sitting in the back. Hanna's phone rang, "It's Gabs." "Answer it." Troy said getting closer. Hanna answered her phone and put it up to her ear. "Hey. umm me and preston are going out tonight?"
Hanna looked at Troy, "You're going with Preston tonight?" Troy's eyes went wide, Gabriella sighed, "Yeah, we're going to a movie at 7." Hanna sighed, "what movie?" Gabriella shrugged, "We're going to see Paranormal Activity 4."
Hanna smiled, "Well I hope you have fun, call me afterwards." "Okay. talk to you later. bye." "Bye." Hanna hung up and looked at Troy, "She's going to see Paranormal Activity 4 tonight at 7 with Preston...it's a date."
Troy grit his teeth, "Ok..." he dug out his phone and clicked speed dial 4. His friend answered on the first ring, "Chad, hey, you've wanted to see Paranormal Activity 4 for sometime right-" Chad screamed and hollered into the phone, Troy put the phone back to his ear.
"Do you want to see it or not-" "I'm out the door right now dude! You picking me up? I can totally jog to the theater! Which one?" Troy sighed, running his hand down his face. "Just...I'll pick you up."
Preston and Gabriella walked into the dark theater. Troy and Chad were wearing their hoodies, covering their faces. for their luck, Preston and Gabriella chose the two seats right infront of them. "Hey, let's sit there." she smiled, "Okay." she sat down, sitting her purse on the floor.
He smiled, "I'm glad you came." she smiled, "Me too." Troy rolled his eyes, he looked at Chad who was already tuned in on the movie. Preston smiled at Gabriella, and she looked at him, and he wrapped an arm around her.
Troy glared at the back of Preston's head, picking up the popcorn bucket and alternating between tossing some popcorn cernals in his mouth and aiming some at his head.
He got the satisfaction of Preston turning 'round to say 'fuck off' or 'stop it' but nothing more than that.
The movie was in the middle, Everyone was so intense, really into the movie. It was really quiet and something popped out and made Gabriella jump. Preston smiled, "You sure this movie isn't to scary for you?"
Gabriella smiled at him, "I'm not scared." he chuckled, "You jumped." "Because I was excited cause I knew that was going to happen." He chuckled, looking at her, and leaning forward to kiss her, Gabriella looked at him, really nervous that he was going to kiss her.
In his head, Troy launched over the seats, grabbing Preston by his neck and bashing his head into the floor several times and punched his face until he was unrecognizeable; standing up and grabbing Gabriella, staring into her eyes right before pulling her down into a dip and kissing her senseless as he carried her out to his car.
But...that was in his active imagination, reality? He kicked the seats everytime Preston went to lean to kiss Gabriella anywhere on her face.
Preston felt a kick in his seat, and looked back, "Hey! what in the hell are you trying to do? I'm on a date here." Gabriella looked back and her eyes went wide, then turned into a glare, "I know why." she stood up from her seat, "It's my ex-boyfriend who cheated on me." "Brie-" she lifted up her bag, and grabbed Preston's hand, "Come on Preston."
They walked out of the theater and out to the hallway. Troy got up after her, leaving chad behind. "Brie! wait-" she turned to glare at him, "You have no reason what so ever to spy on me, or ruin my dates! me and you are over. okay?"
Troy shook his head, "Brie.. please, can we just talk.. please." Gabriella looked at him, "Not now. Not ever. We're over." Troy sighed, "Please.. just please give me 20 minutes, and if you want me to leave you alone still, I will.. just please.." Gabriella sighed, looking at preston, "I'll meet you in the car." he nodded, "Okay gabs." he walked away.
She looked at him, "What." he sighed, "please listen, sleeping with Jocelyn was a huge mistake, I was an idiot for going to that party and getting drunk, and hurting you... It meant nothing to me.. nothing at all. cause as soon as I woke up, I realized what I did, and I hated myself for it."
Gabriella shook her head, "No.. How can you just be inlove with someone else when you slept with another girl, and say that you still care about me?"
Troy sighed, going to grab her hands but Gabriella pulled them back. "Just...stay away from me, okay? We're over...l-leave me alone. Please." With that, she turned and walked out of the theater.
Troy watched her. "Brie.." he whispered, he's been whispering her name on his lips a lot lately-mostly because, he missed saying it. He missed her.
Chad was eating some chinese food at his locker. Troy walked up to him, "Hey-what are you doing?" Chad sighed, "Dude, I left this chinese food in my locker like a week ago, I can't let it go to waist." Troy scrunched his nose up in disgust, "It's been in there for a week? and you're eating it?"
Chad shrugged and slurped the noodles up, "Yeah. anyways, you on for the triple dates tonight?" Troy looked at him, "Triple date?" Chad nodded, "Me and Taylor are going to try to go out on a date with Hanna and Caleb, Gabriella and Preston, Sharpay and Zeke, and you and I don't know.. who you going with?"
Troy sighed, shaking his head. "No one." "Okay," Chad said, stuffing his mouth full off week old chinese food. "But it's going to be lonely with all us not single guys and gals making goo goo eyes at each other."
Troy wanted to slap his friend so much right now. "I"m not going Chad, because I'm going to be stuck at home with food poisoning." Chad looked at him, half a mooshoo pork dangling off his chin. "Huh?" Troy grabbed his disgusting week old chinese food and stuffed five mouthfuls in his mouth.
Chad looked at him, "Why don't you want to go?" Troy gave him back the chinese food, stuffing his hands in his pockets, "Because. Gabriella said to stay away from her..and that's what I'm doing..she doesn't wanna be near me."
Chad looked at him, "So you're giving up on you two? You've never done that before." Troy bit his lip, "That's because I never believed in it." he looked at Chad, "She hates me Chad.. and I know cause I hate me too..." Chad sighed, biting his lower lip, and shutting his locker.
2 Months Later. Troy and Gabriella was still not talking. Sharpay had invited the gang to go on a trip with her to California at her family's mansion. Troy and Gabriella we're both going, but there was no chance they would talk to each other.
All the 8 of them walked out of the mansion after putting their suitcases and bags in their rooms. They all went outside on the track. "You guys ready for a little bit of four wheeling?" Chad chuckled, "didn't know you four wheeled.. you're too girly." she scoffed, "Just for that, you're getting my other pink four wheeler."
Caleb chuckled, Chad glared at him. Gabriella's eyes connected with Troy, but she soon turned away as she got on the yellow four wheeler. Troy sighed and hopped on the blue four wheeler and pulling on the helmet then all 8 of them were in a straight line and drove off behind each other.
The rubber on the wheels becoming sensitve on the ground. They were all riding up and down big hills. but one bill hill in particular they went up, as soon as they went down, Gabriella's four wheeler went crazy and was headed for a tree.
"Gabriella! Look out!" Sharpay squealed. Gabriella jumped off the four wheeler, landing on the ground and twisting her ankle. Sharpay pulled over, "Gabs!" she rushed over to her helping her sit up.
Troy pulled up beside her with the others as they hopped off their four wheelers rushing over to Gabriella. "Is she okay?!" Troy asked with full concern and worry. Gabriella held her wrist. "I think I sprang my wrist and twisted my ankle."
Sharpay bit her lip, "Can you stand up?" Gabriella tried to get up, "ow..ow..ow..it hurts so much." she hissed holding onto her ankle, "You guys can go on without me.. I'll wait here until you're done.."
Troy looked over his shoulder at the gang, he nodded and they hopped on their four wheelers; driving away. Troy knelt beside her, "How's your ankle?" Gabriella scoffed, "How do you think-" She looked at Troy, rolling her eyes. "You're the last person I want to see right now-" "Need any help?" He knotted his fingers together, "Not from you, thank you."
Troy looked at her, "Brie-" "Do. Not. Call. Me. That." She seethed, shaking her head. "You lost that right." "When?" "When you cheated-" "Will you stop putting that in my face? I feel bad enough as it is-" "Good." She muttered, crossing her arms and looking away. Troy sighed, "I'm miserable."
She looked at him, looking into his eyes beautiful blue eyes that always made her melt. she looked away from him, "You're not the only one." he looked at her, "So you are too?" Gabriella sighed, and rubbed her ankle. she hissed, "Ow.."
He bit his lip, "I'll carry you back to the mansion-" "I'm fine, I can walk-" "You can't walk on that ankle, it will make it worst." she looked at him, he sighed, "come on, put you're arms around my neck-" "You can't carry me, I'm too fat, and you'll drop me."
Troy looked at her, "You aren't fat." Gabriella looked down, "That's not what he says." she whispered, "Who?" Troy asked, now kneeling in front of her again, she shook her head. Troy could only assume- "Preston?"
She looked at him, "No. Preston's really sweet." He'll stomach that comment, "then who? Tell me, Gabriella.." She sniffled, "My mom's husband."
Troy sighed, "You know Jason is a fucking doucebag, don't believe that crap from him, you're not fat. you're perfect-" She rolled her eyes, he sighed, "Come on, put you're hands around my neck." she sighed, giving into him, and wrapped her arms around his neck.
He groaned when he lifted her up. she scoffed, "Don't groan when you lift me." "I'm not used to lifting people from far distances." she giggled, "Then maybe you should start going to a gym."
Troy laughed, "Hey...I resent that." Gabriella giggled, but stopped shortly. "Don't make me laugh, I'm mad at you." Troy sighed, rolling his eyes. "Always knew how to hold a grudge." "I'm not holding a grudge-"
"How many times have I tried to apologize? Shit, how many times have I apologized? How many times have I begged - BEGGED - to listen and hear me out." "And I did, at the movie theater." She muttered, not looking at him. He scoffed, putting her on the back his four wheeler, "yeah...and you still left."
Gabriella grabbed his hand, "What do you expect me to do Troy? be happy?" Troy shook his head, "No..I understand how you're feeling, I would feel the same way, but I would expect you to forgive me, because we love each other.. I know you hate me right now, because I hate me too.."
Gabriella sighed, walking up to him, wrapping her arm around his neck and kissing him passionately. he pulled away gently leaning his forehead on hers, "What was that for?" Gabriella smiled, "I wanted to be the first to kiss you before I killed you...I just...I don't know how I can trust you again Troy.. how do I know you're not going to cheat again.."
Troy looked at her, by now they had reached the back porch of the house-er, mansion. "Because..." Troy said, "I know how much faith you used to have in me-I want that. I want...you."
Gabriella looked away biting her lower lip, and sighing, "I..I don't know Troy." he grabbed her hands, "Please.. please just give me another chance.. just let me prove to you that I still care about you, that I still love you."
Gabriella looked at him, "Did you enjoy it-" "No. because it wasen't with you." Gabriella looked away, and looked at him, and pecked his lips, "Okay. I'll give you one more chance, but if you do it again, it's over."
"I understand that." He whispered, leaning his forehead on hers, "I missed you.." Gabriella sighed, "it'll take awhile to trust you again." "I can wait." "It might be funny to see your attempts to 'woo' me...again." Troy laughed, "glad I amuse you, already, cause I can't wait to try new attempts."
Gabriella giggled softly, but hissed softly; grabbing her ankle. Troy looked at it, "Come on, let's wrap that up in some gauze and an ace bandage-you stay off of it."
Gabriella giggled, "So I won't be able to do anything on this trip, huh?" Troy shook his head, "Nope. Me and you are going to be hanging out in you're room all day-" she giggled, "May I remind you that me and Hanna are sharing a room."
He shrugged, "That's fine. cause Hanna will be excited to be sharing a room with Caleb." she smiled, cupping his cheek, and kissing his lips gently, "I've missed you're kisses." she whispered.
"I missed yours like crazy." Troy muttered against her neck, Gabriella giggled, "is that why, in P.E., you kept running into the locker room before class started? Or were you just that happy?" Troy's eyes narrowed, "and here I thought I hid it well." She shook her head, "nope."
He smiled kissing her lips softly and carrying her inside bridal style and placing her on the counter in the kitchen. the others have not yet returned. Troy grabbed a first-aid kit under the sink and wrapped up her ankle. "Does that feel okay baby?"
She smiled, "It feels fine, Thanks." he smiled at her and pecked her lips, "What do you wanna do?" Gabriella sighed, "I don't know.. I think I will just go to the room and relax and watch a movie and fall asleep.."
"Well..." Troy said, "the movie part sounds fun. Falling asleep-" "Troy...a movie." He sighed, "Right. Charlie St. Cloud? Your favourite movie?" Gabriella giggled, "A Zac Efron marathon-I still think he's your brother from another mother...you look so alike."
Troy chuckled, "So if he was my brother, would you leave me for him-" "In a heartbeat definetly." he narrowed his eyes, "Oh really." she giggled, "Nope." she said popping the 'p'. Troy laughed, and kissed her nose, "come on." he lifted her up bridal style, bringing her upstairs and sititng her on the bed.
She smiled, as he sat down beside her. he looked at her, "I've really missed you." she looked at him, "I've missed you too.. And I just have one question for you." "What's that?" "Why did you spy on my date with Preston at the movies?"
"Because," Troy said, "I..." "yes?" He looked at her lips, "because I didn't want him doing this." He pressed his lips to hers in a ravishing kiss, his fingers tangling themselves in her hair and their tongues beginning to dance a tango like no other; fire, everything is set ablaze with dancing flames. Lit up with fireworks.
Gabriella pulled away, leaning her forehead on hers, and looking into his eyes, "Well, at least it was for a good reason." Troy smiled, pecking her lips, "those lips are mine forever." he whispered. Gabriella looked at him, her heart fluttering, "umm I'm kind of tired..I think I'm just going to lay down.."
He smiled, nodding, "I'll lay down with you." he whispered, crawling on her left before she can protest and wrapping her in his arms. "I'll always be here." Gabriella smiled, intertwining their fingers together as she took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
