Chapter 8: Play His Own Game
"I heard everything." Chad turns around and sees melody.
"So what?" Chad asked raising his eyebrow.
"So I heard that Troy's going to ask me on a date."
"And? What's your point?"
"Just so you know, Troy and Gabriella already had a chance to be together and they blew it. So they don't deserve to get another chance. Troy is mine, not even Gabriella, that bitchy slut who thinks she's popular, is going to take him away from me."
"What makes you think that Troy is going to be your boyfriend after just one date? Gabriella is way nicer and prettier than you."
"Whatever." Melody walked away. She sees Gabriella at her locker. She walks over in her East High cheerleading uniform.
"Hi Gabi. How come you're not wearing your uniform, captain?"
"I'm changing into it when practice starts afterschool."
"Okay. Whatever. Anyways, Troy asked me out of a date!"
"Yeah. Good for you," Gabriella said sarcastically.
"Just thought you'd like to know. Since he's my boyfriend now."
"What?!" Gabriella slammed shut her locker very hard, causing everyone to look at her.
"He asked me to be his girlfriend. Didn't you know that?"
"That bastard," Gabriella mumbled. Melody heard that and smiled.
"Oh well. You should of made him your real boyfriend if you weren't that stubborn to get rid of Christian."
"Whatever. Have a nice life with him," Gabriella fakely smiled.
"You too." Melody walked away. Gabriella angrily walked to Troy's locker. She finds him not there, so she goes to Chad's locker. He's not there. Where could he be? She walks to Ryan's locker and sees Troy talking to Ryan. She hides behind a locker to eavesdrop.
"Ryan, I'm sorry for calling you gay today. I didn't mean it."
"It's alright. Everyone thinks that, so I'm used to it." Ryan smiled. "But I see the only person who took it seriously was Gabi."
"Yeah. We just overreacted in PE, so it was just a game."
"You like Gabi again?"
"Yeah. She's hot." Gabriella rolled her eyes, then she remembered what melody said. "Gotta go. Gonna ask Melody on a date." Gabriella went into a confused look.
"I thought you just said you liked Gabi."
"Yeah, but I need Melody to pretend to go out with me so Gabi will hurry and make her decision."
"What decision?"
"Of being my girlfriend. She's obviously taking a long time." Gabriella shook her head.
"Okay. Good luck." Ryan gave troy a thumbs up and Troy walked away, not noticing Gabriella hiding.
"Gabi, you can come out now." Gabriella turn to see Ryan smiling.
"How you know I…?"
"Cause that's the worst hiding place to eavesdrop. I couldn't believe Troy didn't notice."
"Oh. Well… yeah… gotta go!" Gabriella turn, but Ryan said something.
"You heard Troy is gonna pretend to go out with Melody."
"Yeah…" Gabriella said, turning around.
"What are you going to do?"
"Play his own game." Gabriella walks to her classroom.
"Ryan shook his head playfully. "Those two never change."
A/N: Sorry it's short. But I couldn't think of anything else. And just so you know, this story is about to end and there's no sequel for this since I'm thinking of a new story. It's all the East High gang with a way different personality than in the movie.
