Chapter 9

Taylor ran in the living room to find Gabriella laying back on the couch, her eyes closed. It looked like she was sleeping. Taylor practically jumped on the couch.

"Oh…ok Gabriella" Taylor kept her panic at bay. She tried to wake Gabriella up but Gabriella didn't move. She didn't even make a sound. (A/N the kind you make when you don't want to wake up lol )

"Gabriella! Wake up…" Still nothing. Taylor looked back at her glass holding it up to the light. Sure enough there was a white sludge at the bottom of the glass.

Taylor picked up the phone dialing Troy's cell phone. No answer. Chad's cell. No answer. Taylor quickly dialed Mr. Bolton's number.

Mr. Bolton picked up his ringing cell phone. When he saw it was Gabriella's house he silenced the phone. He didn't want Gabriella to distract his son right now.

"He's amazing Jack, we definitely want him in…" The bulky man sitting to the left of Jack, praised Troy's talent.

"Wow! You really want him?"

"Are you kidding? With the moves on that kid, we'll keep our tradition of winning the championship."

"I know Troy will be honored."

--------------------------------

Taylor frantically dialed everyone's numbers again, and again. She tried the cycle again two more times.

"Oh god…" Taylor felt helpless. There was only one thing left to do…

911

"911 what is your emergency?"

"Um my friend, she's passed out, I found this white stuff in the kitchen…." Taylor rambled. Fighting tears.

"Ok huny I need you to calm down, tell me what your name is."

"Taylor."

"Ok Taylor, I want you to go check your friend for a pulse." The operaters voice was nasally. Taylor was annoyed that she was talking to her like a small child.

Taylor burst into tears. She reached over felling for a pulse.

"She's breathing, She's breathing….so her heart is beating."

"Ok Taylor we have an EMS on the way, tell me, is your friend allergic to anything?"

-----------------------

"Alright guys good job… We'll cut this meeting short because my wife keeps calling." The tall man with a whistle around his neck tried to laugh, but clearly he was annoyed.

With that Chad and Troy walked over to their bags. Troy dabbed the sweat off of him.

"Dude wouldn't it be sweet if we both got in? We'd be going to the same college!" Chad exclaimed.

"Yeah." Troy smiled at Chad's choice of words. Chad never faild to amuse Troy.

Troy picked up his cell phone "I wonder how the girls-" Troy stopped mid-sentence.

"What?" Chad walked up to Troy.

"They called five times in a row."

Chad's heart dropped. Much like Troy's had done seconds before.

(A/N tell me what you think I need your thoughts to keep it going. Don't worry Gabriella isn't going to die. Some of you had worried about this happening. Calm down. )
