Chapter Seven – Boy Draft Surprises
"Okay! The annual boy draft is this afternoon, during free period – but were here this morning to find out in which order were picking!" Gabriella told the rest of the cheerleaders in their changing rooms.
"Okay, in alphabetical order, we will pick a lip-gloss from the bag, each lip-gloss is numbered. First up, Melanie Adams!"
Melanie smiled nervously to all the girls, then put her hand in the bag, and picked up a cherry lip-gloss, with the number six on it.
"Number six is gone! Next up, Sharpay Evans!"
Sharpay giggled then picked out a lip-gloss with a number three on it.
"Number three is gone! Sarah Harris!"
"If I get number one, girls Troy Bolton is all mine." She smirked, making Gabriella's face glow with envy.
She dipped her hand in the bag, bringing out a lip-gloss with a number two on it.
"Too bad." Gabriella smiled at her, the tension building up. Two names later, and number one was still in the bag, it was Gabriella's turn. Taylor, who picked before her and had a number five, took the bag off Gabi and held it in front of her.
Gabriella slowly put her hand in the bag, fished around, then finally pulled out a lip-gloss revealing a number one.
"Oh my god, Gabi's got number one!" Haley exclaimed.
Gabriella grinned then held the lip-gloss up to show everyone. "This is going to be a really interesting draft."

"Troy, Chad!" Zeke called, running up to them. "You never guess what!"
"What?" Chad asked.
"Gabriella's got first pick in the draft!"
"What?! I've got more of a chance of being picked by her now!" Troy grinned.
"Yeah, Sarah got second, and Sharpay got third."
"Sarah got second?! If Gabi doesn't pick me – Sarah will!" Troy cried.
"Why wouldn't Gabi pick you, you've been pretty close recently man.." Zeke said as they grabbed a tray from the pile at Lunch.
"Yeah, but why would she pick me, she's made it clear she just wants to be friends." Troy sighed.
"Well if so.. Sarah's not all that bad.." Chad smiled.
"Yeah, she's just a typical cheerleader.." Troy sighed. "But I don't want that, I want the most unlikely cheerleader ever."
"What, that girl Megan? Dude, she's like not even that hot, and she has like an A in everything." Chad pointed out.
"Okay, so I thought we were on the same lines obviously not.. Chad I was talking about Gabriella!"
"Oh, now that makes more sense." Chad smiled, then the three boys headed to their usual table.
"Hey, what numbers Taylor?" Chad asked Zeke.
"Five." He answered between mouthfuls of a sandwich.
"Cool."
"Aren't you worried you'll get picked by someone else?" Zeke asked.
"Nope, I know my baby will fight for me if she has to." Chad grinned.
---
"Okay, I'll just go over the rules of this draft once more." Gabriella told all the cheerleaders, who once again were reunited in the locker room, waiting to pick their boy.
"The boy you pick, becomes unavailable for the rest of the season, UNLESS you are in a serious relationship with the boy who has been picked. Swaps can only be made on the night of Midnight Madness, but both girls must agree to it. You must also go on at least one date with your chosen boy, during the season. Everybody ready?" She asked.
The girls nodded excitedly, so Gabriella turned the piece of cardboard over, which showed everybody's name, and opposite them was a blank space for the boy's name.
"Okay, I pick.." Gabriella started, then seriously wondered if she should pick Troy. I mean she did say they should just be friends.. But what happened if Sarah picked him? She'd be able to have him the whole season, and that means any hopes of being with Troy were shattered. But did she want to be with him?
"I pick Troy." She finally said, then wrote his name beside hers.
"And the first boy picked is of course, Troy Bolton! Picked by cheerleader Gabriella Montez!" The school news announcer said into his mic, which was being broadcasted into the school cafeteria.
"I pick um, Gregg." Sarah shrugged.
"WHAT!? But, I like Gregg!" Sharpay cried.
"Are you in a serious relationship with him?" Sarah smirked.
"No.."
"Are you in any relationship with him?" She laughed.
"No.. But we have seen each other a lot!" She protested.
"Sorry Shar." Gabriella said softly, her face apologizing in itself.
"Fine, I pick um.. Who's that one who hangs around with Troy and Chad? Zeke! That's the one, I guess I'll pick him." Sharpay shrugged.
"Zeke Baker, picked third by Sharpay Evans!" The announcer said loudly.
---
"Whoa, what!?" Zeke said, looking up quickly.
"Sharpay picked you!" Chad laughed.
"Sharpay!? She's like one of the hottest girls in the school, why the hell did she pick me? I didn't even know she knew me!" He said, still in shock.
Troy laughed to himself. He was happy again now, knowing he still had a chance with Gabriella.
"Fifth pick is Chad Danforth, by of course his girlfriend Taylor! Common people, do a Sharpay – pick someone we totally didn't expect!" The boy's laugh was projected over the whole cafeteria.
"I knew my baby would pick me." He smiled.
"Well it would be pretty messed up if she picked someone else dude." Zeke laughed.
"So, I'm guessing the bet is still on?" Chad grinned at Troy.
"Uh yeah, I guess so. Look guys, I'm gunna go see if I can find Gabriella – I'll see you later." He nodded, then stood up and headed for the girls locker room. He found Gabriella walking out of there, with Taylor and Sharpay.
"Gabi – uh can we talk?" He asked, scratching the back of his neck, an obvious sign to show he was nervous. He really didn't know how to approach this now, would he end up being turned down, again?
"I'll catch you guys up." She told Taylor and Sharpay. They nodded, smiled to themselves then walked ahead, leaving Troy and Gabriella to talk.
"So uh, you picked me.. Does that mean anything?" He asked.
"I dunno. Troy I'm just so confused. I really like you, I really do – but I guess I'm just afraid of letting you in." She confessed.
"Gabriella, I'm not like you thought I was, even if I was like it – I've changed. You've changed me."
"I know, I'm just scared of reliving something I saw happen in the past."
"I can promise you, I'm wont hurt you." He said, taking her hands in his.
She nodded slowly then smiled. "I know Troy."
"So does this mean, you wanna be like together?" He asked awkwardly. He usually knew everything to say to win a girl over, he knew all the right moves. But Gabriella wasn't like the rest of them.
"Yeah, I'd like that." She smiled sweetly, then watched Troy begin to lean in nervously, wondering if she would lean in too. Gabriella smiled to herself and leaned in the rest of the way, and let her lips touch his and kissed him.
Troy lifted his hand to her cheek, broke the kiss then smiled.
"So does this mean were together?" Gabriella asked.
"Well I am yours for the whole season, so it would be stupid not to be." He grinned.
"I've never liked being stupid anyway." Gabriella giggled, then took his hands in hers, and started walking.
