Chapter 7- FWB

"Mrs. Kelly?" Sharpay asked her chaperon politely. "I really need the restroom, I'll be right back. There's a public restroom inside the shopping center." The blonde pointed to the small mall located a couple feet away.

The chaperon bit her bottom lip. These were troubled teenagers, they should be supervised at all times! They couldn't just go off alone. But the problem was, there was only one adult here and they would have to be going alone. "Alright. Take a friend with you."

"Thanks." Sharpay grabbed Gabriella by her arm and pulled her out of Mrs. Kelly's sight.

"Where are we going, Shar?" The brunette questioned.

"To Mrs. Kelly, it's the bathroom down by that mall." Sharpay answered with a sly grin. "But that's only to Mrs. Kelly and the others."

"I thought you were scared to absolute hell when Mr. Garth popped our bubble." Gabriella seemed surprised. She thought Sharpay wasn't the most rebellious type.

"I was." Sharpay started again. "But… this is what we call a crack drive."

"I like that, Shar." Gabriella smiled. "I like that attitude. You want something and you really want to get it and you get it." She noticed something different about Sharpay, like an eclipse. The moon was covering the sun slowly. Until it successfully covered the sun… then… the entire sky would be black, like the night.

"I guess this camp is shit after all. My parents paid so much to get me clean but ending up, I have a new pot buddy." The blonde chuckled at herself. It came out more light-hearted than she thought. She was starting to feel guilty and could just imagine how disappointed her parents would be in her. The guilt was crawling up her throat like a moving lump. She wanted to swallow it down, but it just wouldn't crawl back down.

"So you told your friends to meet them somewhere safe, and that we won't get caught, right?" Her friend questioned her again, Gabriella didn't plan on being in handcuffs again anytime soon. She had been in them, but that was the past.

Sharpay suddenly stopped at her tracks. "I don't think this is a good idea anymore." She shook her head as she swallowed the lump on her throat.

"It was all good to you a couple seconds ago…" Gabriella was puzzled by her sudden statement.

"I don't know, Gabi. I feel guilt crawling up my throat. I don't know if I can keep doing this. My parents will be so disappointed in me…" Sharpay talked as she looked down on the ground.

Gabriella realized that eclipse was over. Those minutes where the moon completely covered the sun were over. Sharpay started to worry again. "So you're going to just ditch this plan like that?!"

"I guess… I'm sorry. I'm sorry for changing my mind all of a sudden."

Gabriella chuckled sarcastically while scoffing. "What the hell is wrong with you? A couple minutes ago, you were fine, and now you're all guilty because of your goddamn parents?!" She started to yell.

"You know what?" Sharpay grabbed her by the arm inside the restrooms which shouldn't have surveillance cameras, and also where surprisingly, it was empty. "Take this shit and smoke all you want!" She took out a food package where it was disguised as stash and threw it at Gabriella's face. "Oh and this!" Sharpay took out three bottles of beer and threw it in Gabriella's bag. "I don't want to let my parents down… or myself down the wrong path." And with that, she stormed out.


When they were done with the charity work, they returned back to their dorms on a school bus.

"Gabriella?" Troy sat next to her on the bus in the back.

"Yeah?"

"Can you tell me why Mr. Garth wanted to see you this morning?" He asked again.

Gabriella thought for a while before whispering to him. "I'll tell you if you meet me on the football field at eleven tonight."

Troy agreed quickly. It would be nice to spend one on one time with Gabriella "Ok… but why?"

She shrugged. "Just don't tell anyone about it."


Troy's POV

I agreed with Gabriella so quickly about meeting her so late at night. Something about her just really attracted me. It was like she was south and I was north, I was attracted to her. She was the rebellious type. The type that didn't like hesitation. I was the aggressive type, like I have been told for the millionth time. Did rebellious and aggressive go together? I wasn't exactly a rebel. People just tell me that I couldn't control my actions.

Bring a rebel was like nature. If you weren't born to be a rebel, then you just couldn't talk yourself into being one.

I slipped on my shoes while Chad was taking a shower in our bathroom, preparing to sneak out to where Gabriella needed me to meet her.

I sprinted quickly, but quietly, trying not to cause any distractions in the hallway. The entrance/exit to the boys and girls dorms were locked. Both boys and the girls' dorms were linked by a tunnel but the main entrance to both were locked so at night, we couldn't go out. I knew that already so I climbed out from a window that located down the hall.

When I ran down to the football field in the back, I noticed that Gabriella was already there waiting for me. She was sitting on the grass that seemed almost black to me at night, looking peaceful in the very back.

"Hey." I simply greeted her.

Instead of greeting me back, she simply got straight down to the topic. "The reason why I was dragged to talk to Mr. Garth was because some people had noise complaints about Shar and I last week." She started. "He ordered people to search our rooms for any kind of stash or alcohol."

It wasn't too shocking to me… but still, I didn't want her in trouble. "So did he find any?" I sat down on the grassy field next to the brunette.

"Yes… He found everything!" I could see tears gleaming in her eyes from the light of the moon. "He said if anything else happens, he will call our parents and get the cops!" A teardrop looked like it was about to fall down from her brown eyes. "I'm scared, Troy. I have some in my pocket right now! I don't know why, but I just can't seem to give it up. It was like a desire. I needed marijuana. I can't throw it out."

"Gabriella, you need to get rid of it!" I exclaimed. If she didn't get rid of it, and Mr. Garth finds it, she could be in handcuffs.

"I can't. I can't just get myself to throw it out. It's too hard!" It looked like she was about to burst into tears. But it was obvious that she was holding those teardrops back. "I have some alcohol too… in here." She took some stash and three bottles out. "I was hoping maybe if we finish this together… I promise I'll be done afterwards."

"I don't know, Gabriella…"

"You can call me Gabi also, Troy." She placed her delicate hand on my big one.

I looked directly into her mocha brown eyes, her eyes were still gleaming before she blinked… then a couple teardrops escaped her eyes and rolled down her tearstained cheeks. I couldn't detach my own blue eyes to her brown eyes. She looked so helpless at the moment. I just wanted to make her feel better…

Unknowingly, I started to lean in slowly, I didn't want to scare her by shoving my head onto hers. She leaned in also until we were millimeters apart.

I placed my lips onto hers… at first, our lips were just brushing… gently… but she started to deepen it by slowly moving her tongue into my mouth. I did the same as I tasted parts of her mouth. I placed my hands onto her shoulder and slid it slowly down to her waist and locked it there. Gabriella wrapped her arms around my neck before things turned a little more heated. She climbed on top of me, which made me lean towards the ground until I was finally lying down.

I started to wonder if things were going too far. She was now in a sexual position… making out with me! Did it go too far? Should I stop it?

When oxygen became a need, we broke apart. But Gabriella was still on top of me, while her chest was heaving for air.

"Are you looking at my boobs, Troy?" She smirked at me playfully.

Since she was getting playful, I might as well do the same. "How can I not, you're really hot…" I smirked back.

Gabriella giggled as she leaned down towards me again… moving in for another kiss.

Our lips met again, we kissed briefly before I pulled away this time. "I just want to make sure about something…"

"Yeah?" Gabriella spoke as her breath trickled my neck.

"What does that make us, now?" I questioned her somewhat seriously. "We just made out in a sex position twice…"

She got off from on top of me before speaking again. "For now… that makes us FWB."

I didn't understand her abbreviation at first… "What's that suppose to mean?"

"Friends with benefits." Gabriella smirked again as she picked up the stash and bottles, shoving them into her bag. "Meet me here tomorrow at the same time so we can finish the stash before I get caught with them." She got up and walked away from me, and quickly towards the dorms. "Goodnight!" She didn't exactly yell. But said a little bit louder… still concerned about getting caught.

My lips formed a smile before getting myself up and sprinting back to my dorm.
