Gabriella stopped swinging. "I guess it is later."
"So?"
"Promise if I tell you, you won't over react?"
"Why would I over react?"
"Just promise."
"Okay, I guess."
"Okay. At lunch me and Taylor were late because we kind of had to take care of something."
"What do you mean by something?"
"Okay now promise again you won't over react."
"What something?" Gabriella rolled up her left sleeve, revealing the bruise. " What happened!"
"It was an accient."
"What kind of accident?"
"See now that's kind of over reacting."
"How did that happen? Who did that?" Okay Gabriella think of something really fast! I can't tell him about Ryan, I won't! "I kind of got pushed."
"By who?"
"It was a total accident! It wasn't ment to happen. He apologized." She covered up. Ryan was her best friend, and she wasn't about to get him in trouble with Troy. After all, so far everything was fine and Gabriella wanted her bestfriend and her boyfriend to get along.(Girls, you know how boys get when there's some other boy that hangs out with their girlfriends almost as much as they do.)
"Who was he?"
"It really isn't a big deal, Troy. He already apologized like alot so let's leave it at that." Okay maybe not alot but it was sincere!
"Pretty Please!"
"Okay."Troy said giving in to her pout.
"Thanks. Now push me!" Troy rolled his eyes and began to push her.
"Higher!"
"Okay!" he continued to push her."Hey Gabby!"
"Yeah?"
"Guess what?"
"What?"
"Chad and me were playing basketall today and he got kinda sad that he caused Taylor's dad to catch her. I didn't know why he took it that badly, but then he said that he was gonna tell Taylor"
"He loved her."
"Yeah, how'd you know?"
"He told me when he came downstairs from the break. He said that he was kind of nervous that she might not feel the same way."
"That's what he told me."
"Yeah, isn't that so cute!"
"Um, sure."
"What do you mean? Why not cute?"
"Because guys don't say cute. Like that."
"Oh I see. And did he tell you that he never had this conversation because guys don't express their feelings like girls?"
"Well we don't. Girls just squeal when something good happens. Cry for some of the dummest things and watch dumb chick flicks."
"Hey!"
"No offense though."
"Well at least we are mature and care about our looks."
"And I suppose spending 20 minutes in the mirror explains that."
"Troy."
"Yes."
"Shutup."
"Okay but i'm just saying you couldn't pay me a million dollars to be one."
"Because you couldn't last a week as one."
"That I will agree on Ms. Montez."

9:00pm.
Ryan decided to take a bubble bath.(Do guys even take bubble baths? Oh well) He turned on extra warm water and got in. "I can't believe I did that. Ryan what the hell is wrong with you! All she wanted to know is why you weren't talking to her! And you had to"
"Ryan sweety? Who are you talking to?"
"No one mom!"Ryan made sure the door was locked."Just talking to myself!"
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Okay honey." After 7 minutes Ryan got out and got dressed. His cell rang. He answered."Hey Shar."
"Hi! How's everything going?"
"Um fine. How about you?"
"I got new choreography!"
"Oh great."
"So when I come back, we'll get right in that. Okay."
"Yeah sure."
"Oh Gabriella IM'd be today.About you. "
"She did?"
"Yeah."
"What did she say?"
"She wanted to know if you had any problems last weekend, if you were effected by something. everything okay?"
"Yeah. Everything's fine."He lied."Are you sure.Gabby seemed kind of eager"
"I'm fine Sharpay. Nothings wrong okay!"
"What's your problem?"
"Nothing. Look i gotta go okay?"
"Fine, but"He hung up on her before she got to finish her sentence."Dam it!" he yelled to no one. Maybe I should just talk to Troy!Find out what the hell his problem is!Ryan lay on his bed completly forgetting about the other hour of homework he had to do.It didn't matter now.His cell rang again."What!"
"Look. I just want to know if everythin is ok"
"Everything's fine! I just told you that!It's just dandy!Now leave me the hell alone!" He turned the phone off then slammed it shut. Something about the convo set him off. "I didn't mean to do that to Gabriella!Stop killing me over it!"
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
"You're gonna hurt your self."
"No i'm not."
"Fine, but when you're screaming and crying like any other girl, don't be mad if I say I told you so."
Gabriella was on the swing ready to prove Troy wrong and jump, then land on her two feet. Troy just sat on the bench waiting to see the result.
"Okay Ready.Set.Go!"Gabriella jumped off the swing. Just like she said, she landed on her two feet."Ha! where's my 20 dollars?"
"Can't we bet on something else?"
"No. You said 20 dollars now pay up."
Troy reached into his pocket and pulled out a 20 dollar bill."Can't we just talk about this?"
"No."She reached for it, but he moved away. "Give me it!" He moved near the bench."Can't it be 10?"
"Troy!" She toppled him over and grabbed the 20. "Thankyou."
"There goes my allowance."
"Then you shouldn't have bet it."
"Yeah, like I knew you'd prove me wrong."
"Well I did.One point for girls.So,walk me home" He stood up."Well my house is on the same path so I mind us well."
"Hey!" He laughed and put his arm around her."Just kidding! You get so serious sometimes!"Funny of you to say that."Come on."Troy said. They began the short walk to Gabriella's home."Oh. I talked to my mom. We don't have plans so you guys can come over tomorrow."
"I wish we never even had to do that stupid essay in the first place."
"Maybe you shouldn't talk. Or at least whisper lighter."
"Hey how old is Mrs.Darbus?" Troy asked remembering what he said.
"I don't know, why?"
"No reason." They came up to her front porch. "Well I see you tomorrow okay?"
"Yeah." He pulled her in for a kiss. After a few seconds they pulled away."Bye." Gabriella walked into he house. Wait I forgot!She opened the door and ran to him."Wait Troy!"
"Yeah?"Come on Gabbs, it's now or never."Troy.Is there something going on between you and Ryan?"
"Why would you say that?"
"I don't know. It's just Saturday as soon as you said something he left real quick and"
"Gabby."
"Yeah?"
"If there's something going on i'll tell you about it."
"Okay.Thanks."She hugged him."Bye."
"Bye." Gabriella returned back to her house. She went upstairs, took a bath and lied in bed.Well at least I feel better now.30 minutes later, Gabriella drifted to sleep.
