I'm feeling depressed right now so I thought I'dmake you guys happy by posting another chapter today. It's depressing. Matches my mood. Tell me what you think. Your reviews always make me feel good.
After waiting a long time for Gabriella to come out of the school, Ryan became worried. So he left his place in the quad and went inside.
He was about to turn the corner that led to Gabriella's locker when he saw her wrapped in the arms of Troy Bolton. He couldn't hear the words they exchanged, but after what he saw happpened next, they didn't matter. The moment he saw Gabriella's lips touch Troy's, it was as if time stopped and it was all happening in slow motion. He couldn't take it so he raced back down the hall and out to the parking lot to his car. He got out of there just as fast, and didn't have time to see Gabriella's lone figure coming out of the school looking scared and confused.
Tears were running down his face. He had never felt such hurt in his life. Why couldn't he for once just get what he wanted? Why did guys like Troy get everything? Ryan couldn't make any sense of the situation.
He dreaded school the next day because he was sure he would have to face Gabriella. If she was coming his way, he took off in the other direction or avoided her altogether.
But she was able to corner him at his locker after school.
"Hey Ry. I haven't talked to you all day."
"Yeah."
"Why did you leave yesterday? You said you would take me home."
"It looked to me like you got a better offer."
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb Gabriella."
"I don't understand."
"I saw you with him okay?! I saw you with Troy. You were kissing him at your locker."
Gabriella looked in shock and confusion and she tired to explain what really happened.
"Ryan you got it all wrong I didn't"
"Oh come on Gabriella. How naive do you think I am?"
"I don't think you're naive."
"Well good. Cause you know what? You can be with Troy if you want to. I don't care anymore."
Slamming his locker shut, he walked away from her, never looking back.
"Ryan wait! You, you don't understand." The words barely came out of her mouth on account of the tears flowing down her cheeks. Not that it mattered, he was already gone. She felt her legs finally give out on her and she collasped to the floor as the tears rained down from her eyes. She was so hurt. How could Ryan ever think she would do do something like that to him? Didn't he know how much she cared about him?
"How did this happen?"
A/N: That darn Bolton! So much drama and sadness. What will happen next? You'll have to keep reading to find out...Only three chapters left!
