Thanks for reading & reviewing


The smile on her face made him happier than he had been in a long time. Every time that he saw her in the last week, all he got was a straight face. It was his fault really, he shouldn't have been such a jerk. Mentioning the incident was not something he was proud of, especially because it pained him just to think of it.

It was a year ago.. Troy had practically had to beg her to come with him. He didn't want to go to the party alone and Chad had went to his grandparents over winter break. It was a senior's party, Michael Lewis, he always threw amazing parties. What better way to start off the holidays then with a party? So he finally got the beautiful brunette to agree to go with him. Gabriella did not want Troy going to a party by himself, so better she go even though she didn't really want to, then him get hurt.

The two sophomores walked through the door of the house where they found loud music blaring, red cups and alcohol everywhere, and dozens of teenagers. Some drunk, some a little tipsy, others sober. "You wanna drink Gabs?" Troy asked as the two went into the living room. "I'm good, someone has to drive home but thanks." she said as she kept close to him. The house was pretty crowded and she was only here for him and didn't want to lose him in the crowd. Although, that could happen very simply, him being one of the top basketball players and the vice-captain of the team already.

"Hey Bolton! Get your ass over here and get your drink on!!" Danny Anderson yelled from the kitchen. Troy took a step but was stopped by a pull on his arm. He looked over his shoulder to find the small chocolate eyed girl looking at him, almost pleading. He smiled and put his arm over her shoulder and took her with him into the kitchen. There was a large keg of beer, where some people were being held upside down to drink. Then there was also a game of beer pong. Gabriella kept close to Troy, she didn't go to a lot of parties and when she did the group was usually there. Troy lead the way over to Jesse as he let go of her arm and gave the "guy shake & hug". "So, whatcha want to drink Bolton?" Michael asked from the fridge. "Just a beer will do, thanks man." Troy replied as Michael tossed a can of beer to him. "Hey, what about you beautiful?" Jesse Walker, another senior asked Gabriella. "Umm.." she was about to talk but got cut off by Troy. "Her name is Gabriella, and she isn't having anything to drink." he said, almost trying to protect her. Everyone at East High knew one thing about Jesse Walker, he loved girls. "Oh, come one loosen up Bolton I was just being nice." says Jesse as he walked by Troy and then slowly makes his way past Gabriella. Troy could see that he was checking her out so he puller her closer to his side as Jesse walked away.

"Just ignore Jesse, he's a little tipsy." Michael explained as he handed Gabriella a can of 7-up. "Sorry, it's the only pop we had because of mixing drinks and such." he explained. "No, it's fine. Thanks." Gabriella said as she opened her pop. "So you wanna play a game of beer pong Bolton?" Danny asked. "Sure why not!" Troy says as he walks over to the table with the two seniors and the petite brunette right behind him. Troy grabbed a stool for Gabriella to sit on while him, Michael, Danny, two more seniors, and three juniors all joins in on the game of beer pong. Troy was pretty good, being a basketball player, so he really hadn't drank too much, but he was on his second can of beer. "Troy.." Gabriella says as she lightly tugs the sleeve of his shirt. "Yeah Gabs." he replies. "I'm just gonna go to the washroom, I'll be right back." she explained. "Alright, come right back though.." he says to her as she starts to leave. "Bolton your up!" as the game continued.

Gabriella walked up the stairs, trying to find a free washroom. She opened the door to the washroom and set her soda on a table outside of the room. She quickly finished up as she walked out of the room, only to run into Jesse. "Hey, sweetie.." he said getting closer to her. Gabriella tried to walk around him, but he was so much bigger and stronger. He seemed to be a little drunk, so maybe she could just talk him down. "Uhh, hi." she said looking for her drink, "Looking for this?" Jesse asked as he handed her a new can of pop. "Umm, mine was on the table.." she explained. "No, it was basically gone. I got you a new one." he told her. "Okay...Thanks." Gabriella said as she tried to get past him but was stopped as he moved in front of her. "Uhh, Uhh, Uhh, I don't think so sweetie." he said as he shook his finger. She backed up, hating having to smell the alcohol on his breath. "Come here." Jesse said as he pushed her against the door of a bedroom. "Now, Bolton has got nothing on me and I'm pretty sure you would like what I can give you." he said as he ran her lips across her jaw line. Gabriella was shaking, and she tried to move over but his arms were blocking her way. "Me and Troy aren't together.. We're just friends." she explained nervously. "Oh.. Even better!" he said as he planted his lips on hers. Gabriella tried to fight, tried to push him off. But she was too weak and her head was starting to spin, and it was not from the kiss. Jesse pushed her into the bedroom and onto the bed as he continued to kiss lips and neck. Gabriella was starting to loose cautiousness as he ripped of her shirt and pulled her jeans off.

Troy was downstairs, it was getting late and although he wasn't even tipsy, he decided it was probably time to go home. But Gabriella still hadn't come back. She had been up there for a good ten minutes. Was she sick? Well she would have said something. "Hey, Michael. I'm gonna get going, but have you seen Gabs?" he asked. "No man, I did see her go up stairs though." troy nodded as he headed up the stairs and knocked on the bathroom door. "Gabs, you in there?" he heard someone throw up and then reply with, " No, Imma not a gap!" Troy walked down the hall as he opened a bedroom door. Only to find an uncautious Gabriella in bed with a drunk Jesse Walker.

Just thinking about it pissed Troy off, he punched Jesse right in the face. Danny ended up coming upstairs to stop the fight as Michael's sister, Lindsay helped Gabriella with her clothes. Troy could have killed Jesse, and if it wasn't for Danny, he probably would have. Jesse drugged Gabriella and then took her virginity from her. The worst part was that Troy should have just went with her to the bathroom. If he did none of that would have ever happened.

"Troy, what's with you? Your being way too quiet." the chocolate eyed girl said as she looked up at him from the bottom of the trampoline. He smiled as put her face closer to his. "Nothing, just kinda tired I guess." he says as he looked at her. She was so cute, he could just imagine his lips on hers and.. Wait! "No, she is best friend, I'm not gonna kiss her. Why would I even think that? Well I am a guy so it's okay I guess." he thought to himself. "Gabs, why don't you wear jeans anymore?" he asked seeing that she was once again wearing sweats. "They're comfy and easier to wear." she says. "I miss seeing you in jeans." he says without thinking as he looks at a confused Gabriella with her eyebrows raised. "You know cause you used to wear them a lot, and it was just you." he said catching himself. "'I miss seeing you in jeans!?' god you perv why don't you just stair at her boobs while your at it." Troy thought to himself.

"So… wanna have supper then we can go to Zeke's?" he says trying to forget what he had just said. Gabriella looked at him hesitating, she was trying to hide but he could see it. This started to worry him a little, she wasn't still mad was she? "I was just going to go home and eat.." she says trailing off. "I'll make us grilled cheese, please stay Gabs, please. I'll be your slave for life." he said playfully but begging at the same time. "Well, since you will be my slave I don't really think I can pass that up." Gabriella says with a laugh. "Good." Troy said with a smile.


"Okay, something is so not right.." the blonde says as she passes around her bedroom. She had thrown up again right before home room and then in biology she started to get craps, but it was not her time of the month, yet nothing happened. "Wait!" she says as she ran to her calendar. Sharpay then realized that she was a good month and a half late. She laid on her bed on shock. There was no way.. But around that time her and Troy had.. Well she almost had that night with Braden..

"Ugh! Great!" she said to her dog. She wanted to cry, she knew what she had to do. But it was so hard to do it all by herself. Sharpay did not want to be alone, especially when she had to do this. But she had to brave it up.. Go to the drug store and buy the test. And hopefully it was just stress..


"Wow! That movie was way too funny!" Zeke said still laughing. "Yeah, it was." Taylor agreed. The group had decided to watch the Hangover, which of course had everyone laughing the whole time. "It makes me think of when Troy was drunk and tried to mention it.." Chad said, hardly able to stop the laughter in his chest. He put on a good mask, not wanting to ruin everything with his friends. "I can wait till later.." he thought. Troy looked away from Gabriella and laughed, "Yeah thanks for mentioning that you poof head!" It had been a while since the group was together and just having a really good time with each other. "Want shome!?" Jason asked everyone as he mouth was filled with chips. "Geez Jay, calm down on all the food. You act like you haven't ate in days!" Martha said taking the chips away and sharing them with Taylor. "Hey! Those are mine!" Jason says still with a mouthful of food. Gabriella looked over at Ryan who seemed to be quieter than usual. She should talk to him later, he really trusts her and he is a really good guy. Gabriella's thoughts were stopped by a pillow against her head. "What the heck Chad!" she says as she throws a pillow out him. "Stop checking out Ryan!" he says. Both Gabriella and Ryan laugh, Troy on the other hand sat there, with that strange feeling coming back again. "Yeah, right Chad.." Gabriella says sarcastically as she laughs. "Pfft, I yeah right Gab, I know when people are checking each other out!" Chad teases. He wasn't being very serious about any of it but somebody didn't seem to enjoy it very much. "Just shut up about it already Chad." Troy says loudly. "Geez, take a chill pill you spaz. It's called a joke." Chad says as he puts more popcorn in his mouth. Gabriella looked over about two feet on the floor beside her to look at him. She moved over so their hips were almost touching put her head on the ground below his which was being held up by his hand. "Hey." she said lightly, as Troy looked down at her. "Don't be like that Mr. Grumpy pants." Gabriella said in joking voice. Troy smirked but didn't smile. Gabriella then turned on her back so she could look at his face better. "You know, you have something right there." Troy pointed on her shirt as she looked down he dragged his finger up and flicked her nose.

Suddenly a cell phone rang and everyone went to check their's. "Hello?" Ryan says as he answers his phone and everyone goes back to what they were doing but quieter so he could talk. "Uhh, Ryan. Do you think you can come home?" his sister asked. It was strange that she was calling, she usually never did. In fact, they didn't even talk much lately. But it wasn't much less than before.. "What's wrong Shar?" he asked and saw the blue eyes flicker towards him and then back. "I just need somebody.. Anybody really. But I trust you most and even though we don't always get along you know I love you right Ry? I love you so much! You're the best brother I could ever ask for!" Sharpay ranted, "Yeah I'm coming, bye." Ryan says as he hangs up his cell phone. Everyone turned to look at him, "I gotta go, so I guess I'll see you guys later." he says as he grabs his car keys, "See ya!" everyone says as he leaves.

"I wonder what that was about." Kelsi says quietly, but everyone could still hear. "I don't know, Sharpay is probably just being a drama queen like usual." Chad says and everyone goes back to their business. Little did Chad even know that it was the first time he called her Sharpay in months.


"Okay, stay calm.. Calm is good!" Sharpay says to herself in the mirror. Her make-up was running down her face and she was just a mess. "God, what the hell am I thinking!? Everything is going to fall apart! Everything I worked so hard for!!" she says as she continues to sob. There was a light knock at the door, followed by a voice, "Shar, what's wrong? Can I come in?" Ryan asked. The blonde walked over to the pink door and opened it so her brother could come in. As he walked in he noticed her make-up and the bit of a mess in her room. "Okay what is it Shar?" he asked as she just continued to sob.

"I really can't help if you don't tell me what's wrong." he explained to her calmly. She shook her head, "I know, ugh.. The bathroom." she says as she pointed her bathroom. Ryan looked confused but went into the bathroom anyway. It was pretty clean in there, besides her counters which were filled with make-up, hair brushes, accessories, straighters, and curlers. He looked around but didn't see anything. He stepped out to look at her, "What, is there a spider or something?" he asked. Sharpay continue to sob as she said, "Just look in the sink."

Ryan went back in and looked in the light pink bathroom sink where a small plastic stick was. I had know idea what the heck it was until he turned it over and saw the small little blue plus sign.
