Hey guys!
So I was re-reading the previous chapters just to get ideas and all that stuff, and MY GOD! I have some really bad spelling mistakes and completely wrong words in places. I'm surprised you guys can even understand what I've been writing! Lol I'm so sorry!
I haven't got any ideas from you guys yet so I'm writing pretty much the first thing that comes to my head lalb (laugh a little bit) I hope this chapter is ok for you guys. I know your gonna love chapter 9. I wrote it the other night and it's just a random gap-filler, but I personally love it! But I need ideas and stuff for the chapters after! Ok so now I'm sounding desperate…
Well here you go (I own nothing)
"So what's your next question?" Gabriella asked
We were sitting at the local park on the Friday after the party. The party itself had been relatively uneventful, as had the next day.
"Hmmm… what did you wanna be when you were growing up?"
"Oh wow. This is embarrassing… I wanted to be a ballerina…and you?"
We had decided the best way to get to know each other was to simply ask questions. The first question that popped into our heads, we asked. And then we answered. Straight up, no lies.
"My first was Superman"
"Superman?" she said as she laughed at me
"Come on! I was 7!"
"I'm sorry! It's just that… I can picture you running around with your undies on the outside of your pants!"
"Man that is so not a nice picture! Your turn!"
"Ok…hmmm… man I suck at coming up with questions… what was your first kiss like?"
"That's a mean one!"
"You've got to answer! I've answered all of your questions"
"Ok ok… well mine was pretty bad… I was 12. we had just been to the movies and I was walking her to the door, and just as our lips touched, her dad came running out, swearing at me and cursing me and – ugh! It was scary! I think she was more embarrassed though, cos she moved to Texas pretty soon after"
"Oh that's nothing! Me and this guy-"
"Damn, I was hoping it would be a girl"
"Shut up - anyway me and this guy went to the movies, blah blah blah, and then when he was walking me to my door, he kissed me. But it was like he was trying to suck off my face. It was disgusting! Then he kept trying to kiss me EVERYWHERE!"
I found that I enjoyed making Gabriella laugh. There was this light in her eyes every time she was sincerely laughing. Her smile could light up a room. After more questions and lots more laughter, we decided to go and get ice cream.
--
"Cookies and cream right?" Troy asked
"You remembered" I said while batting my eyelashes cheesily
"Nah. Lucky guess" He said handing me the ice cream
"Uh huh. Whatever"
"So are you gonna come to my training this afternoon?"
"Hmmm… Nah I'm sure I can find something more important to do"
"Oh come on! Don't be like that!"
"I'm kidding! Of course ill be there. I gotta start scoping out the talent anyway"
Troy groaned and rolled his eyes at me "come on Brie! Please don't start perving on my friends!"
Laughing I reached up and touched my lips to troy's. "Don't worry. I'll wait till school starts"
"Thanks heaps Brie"

Sharpay and Taylor once again picked me up, only this time we were headed to East High. We were going to watch the guys' basketball practice.
"Sooo…are you gonna tell us what you guys did today?" Sharpay asked as she turned to look at me in the backseat
"Nope."
"Oooo that means something important happened!"
"Tay, calm down. Nothing happened. We just talked. That's it."
"Uh huh. If that's what you say"
"So are you excited about seeing Troy all hot and sweaty? Oh wait. You've already seen that!" laughed Sharpay as we pulled into the school car park
"Ha-ha. Very funny Shar. So I'm guessing this is the famous East High?" I questioned
"Oh I wonder what gave it away" Taylor said sarcastically
"Could it have been the giant East High sign?" I laughed
To be honest, I was really nervous about going to the practice. I had no idea how I should act around Troy. Taylor and Sharpay had told me how 'respected' and well known he was in the school because of his reputation of being a man-whore. So I kinda guessed he would want to keep it that way. I know. It made no sense to me how being known as a man-whore is a good thing, but apparently at East High it is. So in the end, I had decided that I would just act as his friend, and not like we had slept together.
"Oh geez! Were late!" Sharpay said as she finally found a park.
"Why are there so many cars?"
"Oh you're so new it's cute!" Taylor laughed (a/n; sound familiar?) "You see, every 6 weeks, the team has a 'viewing practice'. Which means people can come and watch."
"Not to perve or anything. Cos that would be stupid" interrupted Sharpay
"And other teams can come and see what they're up against. But we suspect the real reason Troy put forward the idea was to get girls"
"Oh of course" I laughed
As we walked through the halls of East High, I could hear cheering. When we walked through the doors into the gym I was absolutely gobsmacked
"This is a practice?!"
"Viewing practice!" Sharpay corrected
Taylor had been right about Troy's plan. The stand was full. Of girls. Screaming girls. There were, however, 3 boys sitting directly in the centre of the stand with blue and yellow jackets on.
Seeing me looking at the 3 boys, Sharpay pushed me down to sit on the front row of the stand, between the two of them.
"The one with the blonde hair is Alistair. The brown haired one is Timothy, a.k.a. Goose, and the one staring at you is Justin Arnold. They're from West High"
"Wow. You say it like it's a curse to say his name or something"
"Around here? It is. You see West High is our biggest rival. And Justin is West Highs 'Troy Bolton'"
"Except Troy's heaps better" said Sharpay
"Well if the rivalries' so major, why are they here?"
"To see what they're up against before the season starts"
"Oh. But why is –"
"Good afternoon ladies! It's about time you three showed up! The guys have been moping around the court since we started"
"Hey coach Bolton!" Sharpay laughed
"Come on girls! How many times have we been through this? Its Jack until school starts" he said as he sat beside Sharpay
"Well they're looking good Jack" Sharpay said laughing
"Yes they are, aren't they? Now you," he said pointing at me,"you have got to spend more time with my son. He's been so much… happier this week. His games even improved"
"Maybe it's all the fun they've been having" laughed Taylor and I shot her a death glare
"what ever it is, keep it up" jack stood up and blew his whistle, turning back to us he said, "ill see ya later girls" then he turned his attention back to the court "take a break guys, ill be back in 5"

Scanning the crowd, I easily spotted Alistair, Goose and Justin. Pffft! I bet they're absolutely crapping themselves. So far the practice had gone great. I had found myself showing off, just in case Gabriella was watching me. Looking intently at Justin, I readied myself for our usual staring contest, but Justin was looking at something at the base of the stand. Or rather, someone. He was staring at Gabriella. My Gabriella. I could feel my blood begin to boil. I had originally decided that I would act as though the two of us were no more than friends at the practice. Simply so I didn't freak her out, or start any gossip about her before school had even started. But I hadn't counted on Justin Arnold.
Chad and Zeke were already sitting with their respective girlfriends and Gabriella was walking towards me.
"Wow, the girls really like watching you play shirtless" she laughed. I noticed she was standing away from me, putting some distance between us
I laughed and stepped closer so I could wrap my arms around her,"Well what can I say? I'm hot and they know it"
Gabriella just looked at me questioningly and then looked down at my arms. I removed one of my arms and lifted her chin to look at me.
"Troy. You've got a rep remember? What will everyone think?"
"Don't care" I said as I kissed her
--
I'm sure I heard the entire gym gasp when Troy wrapped his arms around me. And then when he kissed me? I heard all the guns being cocked. Troy sure was a big deal around here. I had read about high schools like this in books and seen them in movies, but I didn't know they actually existed. I guessed that from now on, I would have to watch for people pretending to be my friends and girls trying to kill me so they could get to Troy.
"Don't panic" Troy whispered
"Ill try not to"
Troy just laughed
"Hey Gabi! Good to see you turned up!" Jason said as he got closer to us, "did you see Justin? They are shitting themselves. We are so gonna own them at the championships. Oh and Gabi, it looks as though you have a new fan. Justin couldn't keep his eyes off you"
I felt Troy tense up.
"Hmmm. He is kinda cute…" when I said that I could feel Troy's hands turn to fists and his jaw lock in determination
"I might go and talk to him when you guys go back on"
When I saw the muscle in Troy's jaw twitch I almost laughed. He was jealous! That explains why he kissed me. He was marking his territory!
"Well I'm gonna go and get a drink. It's been quite a run around. Ill catch up with you after Gabi"
"Yea see ya" then i turned to look at Troy again, "Jealous much?" I laughed. Troy kept looking straight over my head at Justin in the stands.
"Troy" I said as I waved my hand in front of his face
"What?"
"I was joking. I'm not gonna go and talk to him. And he is so not cute" I felt him start to relax, "besides, I only have eyes for one basketball star" I ended dramatically. At this he laughed and kissed me once again.
"Are you gonna come over after practice? My parents are going out" he said as he nuzzled my neck
I pushed his head away from my neck. I didn't need another hickey
"Are you implying that you want something?"
"Maybe" he said with a cheeky grin
"And here I thought I wasn't just sex to you"
"Your not. But it doesn't mean we can't still do it"
I could only laugh. I could hear some desperation in his voice.
"Alright. Ill come over. But no funny business. It will be a G-rated visit."
"G for Gabriella?"
"Yes. As in, I'm in charge"
--
Oooo… I think I would like Gabriella being in charge…
"Alright team! Back on court!"
"I gotta go Brie, but wait for me to finish and ill take you back to mine"
"Oh if I have to. I guess I could wait around"
I laughed and lent down to kiss her again, then ran onto the court.
"So you finally decided?"
"What do ya mean Chad?"
"You asked her to be your girlfriend"
"Nup."
"Well then what was that?" Zeke asked
"Justin was looking at her with that sick look on his face"
"Oh so you got jealous?"
I glared at the two of them, standing there with their knowing grins. I bent down and picked up one of the balls that were rolling around and threw it at the hoop, sending it through with a swish. How are they failing every class but gym, yet they can read my mind?
