OMG guys! 133 reviews for 8 chapters! Wayyyyyyyy more than I expected! That's like 16 per chapter. I expected like maybe 5-10 tops for each chapter. I couldn't stop grinning when my inbox was filled with emails saying people had reviewed, or added my story to their favourites or on their story alert, or even added me onto their favourite authors list! I really want to thank you guys! And yes, to those who reviewed, I know that Troy has mental problems.
The story is ending soon. Because after I'm done with the next couple of chapter there's not much else for me to write about without being boring. I'll be starting another story, and I'll be updating more because school finishes at the end of next week for 2 weeks. I'm so relieved because I'm so tired! So I'll be writing more until my mum kicks me off the computer LOL. Well here's chapter 9!
Disclaimer: After I bought HSM I danced around in a tutu, singing at the top of my voice in the middle of the street. Then I got ran over and went into a coma for 100 years until someone was smart enough to realize all they had to do was kiss me to get me to wake up. So I'm not 13. I'm actually 113.
Gabby walked through the hallways of East High. The students were buzzing around gossiping. They sounded like bees! But Gabriella ignored them. She found Taylor, Sharpay and Kelsi waiting for her like eager children waiting for Christmas. They saw her slim figure and ran up to her.
"Did you hear?" Sharpay asked Gabriella.
"Hear what exactly?" Gabriella was quite curious.
"About Jonathan Deppett! He walked into school covered in bruises and cuts. He said he saved a girl scout from a gang member who was stealing her money. Jonathan rescued the little girl and sent the gang member to prison. He's my hero." Kelsi sighed dreamily. Gabriella giggled. From his performance yesterday she doubted he could take on a gang member.
"I thought you loved Jason Kels." Taylor queried.
Kelsi burned blood red. "I DO NOT LOVE HIM!!" she snapped, a little louder than necessary.
"Kelsi," Sharpay put her hand on Kelsi's shoulder "You're in love with Jason Cross." Sharpay told Kelsi slowly.
"Well this isn't about me or Jason. It's about Jonathan." Kelsi pointed to Jonathan who was down the hallway surrounded by a big group of girls, including Angela. The 3 girls followed Kelsi down to Jonathan's fan club. Jonathan didn't see Gabriella.
"So after I single-handedly dragged the big man, he weighed about 200 pounds, to prison a bunch of his gangster buddies ambushed me. There were 5, no 10 of them. All bigger than the first one. They were also like really tall! And…and had knives and guns! Yeah they had knives and guns! They tried to beat me up but I totally wasted them all. I gave most of them broken bones. They hit me around a little but they all ran away like screaming sissies after I got through with them. Later the Girl Scout's hometown, she wasn't from Albuquerque, threw me a parade. It was for saving the little girl. Turned out she was the Mayor's, no the President's daughter!" Jonathan boasted.
All the teenagers around him sighed dreamily or giggled. Only Gabriella saw through his phoniness. She was laughing on the inside. How could anyone believe that BS?
Gabriella saw Troy walk past. She shyly smiled at him. He returned the smile. Gabriella quickly averted her eyes downwards before they would get into another staring game. Gabriella saw Troy's fist, in all its bloody glory. He had some cuts on his knuckles, like he had been punching a brick wall too many times. His fist kinda matched Jonathans face. Click. Gabriella realized how Troy got his cut up fist and the real story behind Jonathan's big saviour story.
"Hey Kelsi! Taylor, Sharpay! Come here!" Gabriella called to her friend who was in the big mob of girls surrounding the 'Hero.' The crowd, including Jonathan, turned to look at who made the big noise. Jonathan gulped, remembering Troy's intense blue eyes and his warning.
"Um later girls. I'll see you all at lunch!" and with that he ran off like the 'sissy gangsters.'
"Gabriella what are YOU doing here? Jonathan was telling us his story then you turned up!" Angela accused. After Troy had started ignoring her she turned onto other guys.
"I didn't do anything. I was just talking to my friends." Gabriella protested.
"Well we don't want you here! Just because Troy rejected you after the party doesn't mean that you can go around scaring other hot guys!" Angela screamed.
"Yeah about Troy, how are things working out between you guys?" Gabriella said sweetly, knowing that Angela would be furious. Angela always got what she wanted, except for Troy and it angered her.
"Um I got bored of him. He…He didn't like…my shoes. And he didn't do doggy styles. Said it wasn't his thing. I always do doggy styles. I couldn't be with him if he didn't!" Angela said as if she couldn't live without doggy styles. Gabriella was doing her best not to burst into laughter. That was the lamest excuse she had ever heard. (I'm pretty sure doggy styles is a sex position)
"Oh really? I heard that he just plain out didn't like you." Gabriella said. Troy had in fact mentioned that to her. You know about hating her guts and that she was soooo annoying and pushy and plastic…oh you get my drift.
"Let's go girls." Angela stomped her foot, turned around and started swaying her anorexic hips as she walked away. Her Angelettes quickly followed her, shooting Gabriella dirty glares.
Gabriella remembered what got her into that fight and turned to face her 3 friends. They congratulated her for putting Angela into her place but Gabriella quickly shook it off.
"Does Troy Bolton have anything against Jonathan?" Gabriella asked her best friends.
"Well have you slept with Jonathan?" Taylor asked.
"Yeah. Uh…yesterday." Gabriella replied, confused.
"Well there you go. There's Troy's problem with Jonathan." Sharpay stated matter-of-a-factly.
"What does Troy have against Jonathan and me having sex?"
The 3 girls sniggered. What did he NOT have against Jonathan and Gabriella sleeping together?
"Um maybe it's cause he's in love with you? I dunno that could be it. Maybe, but I don't think Troy, the school's bully and the guy with big anger problems, would beat up a guy who just banged his one true love." Taylor said, her words dipped in sarcasm.
"Troy Bolton is not in love with me." Gabriella said.
"Yeah and Taylor isn't in love with Chad! And Kelsi doesn't have the hots for Jason!" Sharpay said. Kelsi cheeks burned like crazy.
"And Sharpay doesn't think that maybe Zeke isn't all that bad!" Taylor replied furiously. Sharpay gaped. Well, well, well she had a reply to that.
"I so do totally not! I mean its Zeke. The tall person. I do NOT like him! How could I like him? He plays basketball…and he's Zeke. " Well she didn't have a GOOD reply for that.
"Sure. Whatever you say sweetheart." Kelsi said. Sharpay scowled. I still don't believe that Troy loves me back. I mean, that Troy loves me full stop, Gabriella thought.
"I still don't believe that Troy loves me. What happened to 'Troy doesn't do relationships? The day troy gets a girlfriend is the day I will eat my mom's cooking?' Huh?" Gabriella reminded the others the original purpose of the conversation.
"Well it's time that I braved the grey mac and cheese! Troy Bolton is head over heels in love with you. And you love him back." Sharpay said. Before Gabriella could protest and deny it the bell rang. Taylor dragged Gabriella off to Miss Darbus' room while Sharpay and Kelsi headed over to their own homeroom.
It was Troy's free period. He was in the gym, of course. He was alone and shooting hoops. He was thinking about Gabriella, and what he did yesterday. He got whacked with the realization stick a couple of times before knowing that he loved Gabriella. He loved everything about her. Except for her addiction.
Gosh, he loved her. Whenever he saw her he felt thing great urge to go up to her and hold her in his arms and never let go. His heart beat faster every second with her. And her laugh was like music to his ears. Symphonies that he never wanted to end.
He heard footsteps tapping on the hard floor behind him. Walking towards him. And they were angry footsteps.
Soooo…who do you think it is? Jonathan on his revenge? One of the sissy gangsters possibly? Angela maybe? Or is it his grandma coming to hit him over the head for beating up Jonathan? LOL
Does anyone have any suggestions for songs for the next chapter? I'm looking for a song that is about like love and forgiveness and 'I can't live without you!' Something mushy. Hehe mush, mush, mush. Or maybe you know a song that isn't like that but it's still good and might fit in anyway. So please send the suggestions in!
You probably know what I'm going to say next!
Please Review!
TTYL!
