Chapter 10 'He Always Had To Ruin The Fun'

By Thetruemeaningoflove

As the game started the two teams were introduced except for the captains who came on separately, Chad was running pass me and I was glad that he gave me a hug because usually I don't even get a hi from Seth as he walks passed me.

When it was time for the West High Captain to come on the court half of the crowd went wild while the other half were booing it made me laugh because East high hated Matt but West high actually liked Troy even if they didn't admit it but you could tell.

Matt walked over to me and tried to pull me in for a kiss but I pushed him back, I was always like this when ever I found out that Matt had been seeing some-one else, I wouldn't let him touch me, not until he apologized and promised that he wouldn't do it again. But there was one thing that he always made sure was that I never caught him in the act I always found out by some-one letting it slip.

Finally Troy's name was called out and he ran into the court this time you could only here people cheering there was no booing or slagging him off because whether people liked it or not Troy was the King of wherever he was and not even Matt could change that.

Troy walked over to me and pulled me into a hug my mood instantly changed from annoyed and pissed off to happy and excited, I could see that the girls on the squad were happy that Troy had come over as now they weren't as likely to get shouted at if they did something wrong.

I kissed Troy on the cheek and he spun me around, whenever Troy was about to play a game he wouldn't warm up and practice, like most people, he would just play around with me, much to his dads dismay but by now he just let him do it.

Troy was running around the court with me on his back and Sharpay running behind him I could see that there were people in the crowd wish that they were me or Sharpay, Troy suddenly stopped and put me now then slung both me and Sharpay over his shoulders me and her began giggling hysterically and there were a few laughs heard from the other students and the teachers from both schools.

After our mucking around me and my other best friend wished Troy good luck and kissed him on the cheek. I reminded him that he had to score the winning basket if he wanted to know the good news or I wouldn't tell anyone and make him wait till happened.

It was half time and it was 49:35 to East High, I was a little shocked that Troy had given his team a little talk saying that they had to win because he wanted to know something from Gabriella and instead of shouting Wildcats they shouted For Gabriella, once this had happened Sharpay gave me a questioning look and as Troy walked passed me I gave him a whack around the head.

'What the hell did you do that for?' Troy questioned me and I hissed 'Well why did they Chant Gabriella instead of Wildcats?' Troy started to chuckle and I just hit him again, 'Well I want to make sure I know what the good news is!' I shot him evils and then walked off to do our routine. (Video in profile)

The Wildcat Cheerleaders had already done their cheer and even they were amazed by the cheer that I had created before an almost break down.

As the game went on Troy would wink at me every time he made a basket and I just cheered more.

There was 5 seconds to go and the two schools were drawing, West High had the ball until Jason took the ball of Matt and passed it to Troy, who then shot the ball from the 3 point line (?) as he shot it in the basket it spun around the rim then with 1 second to go in dove into the net making the Wildcats win by 3 points.

Every-one cheered and I ran over to Troy making sure I was the first person there, he picked me up and span me around, after he placed me down I ran over to Seth, Chad and Stephen who had big smiles while the rest of the team bombarded Troy congratulating him.

I stayed where I though I would be most safe until Troy came over and found me. Chad started asking me why Troy was so desperate to shoot the winning basket and I told him that I said if Troy did it then I would tell him some good news, in a result of that Chad began asking me what it was I didn't tell him but I found myself running around the court so that Chad wouldn't catch me.

I soon ran into Troy which I was thankful for and he said 'Well I shot the winning basket tell me what you good news is!' Troy looked really excited, I couldn't not tell anyone my secret anymore.

I let over and whispered something in Troy's ears as soon as I had told him his face lit up, I lifted he up into a hug in response I wrapped my legs around his waist.

What shocked me the most was that while we where hugging the Wildcats team had lifted us into the air. I gripped onto Troy more and turned that I was sitting on his lap. (If that is possible)

I looked over at the Black Nights they were upset but had smiles on their faces, they were probably happy because I was happy, I was like every-ones little sister, most people on the basket ball team and cheerleading squad was in there final year while I would be next year.

But the only person who looked annoyed and mad the most was Matt, it annoyed me why couldn't he let me have some fun and enjoy myself he always had to ruin my fun. Once Matt had stormed out of the gym, I decided that I wasn't gonna let him ruin it, I would find him in 10 minutes.

When I was placed back on the ground I looked around, Stephen and Alex were making out again, Chad, Taylor and Seth were over in a corner talking next to me Troy and Sharpay had just pulled out of a hug.

Some music started playing and Troy asked both me and Pay to dance of which we both accepted.

We where dancing so that all of us were holding hand and every now and again Troy would lift both of his arms up so that me and my blond haired friend could go under them.

Once the music had finished I looked at Troy then to Sharpay 'I'm gonna go find Seth so I will see you two later!' she giggled then ran off.

'I need to go shower then get changed, so why don't you go find your boyfriend so I can meet him already!' Troy exclaimed before heading to the changing rooms.

I sighed and went on a search to find Matt who I knew hadn't left because his bag was still in the gym.

I made my way out of the gym and into the hall's, there were still loads of people walking around. I spotted some of the girls I had just danced with and they all looked hyper and happy it made me giggle a little and I walked over to them.

'Hello ladies!' I giggled, they all started squealing and pulled me into a hug. 'Woah what is so good?' everyone started jumping around, nobody answered me so I just put it down to the fact that we had just done an awesome dance.

It was then that I just noticed that Amanda (from chapter 7) wasn't there I looked around and couldn't see her.

'Girls do any of you know where Amanda is?' With the question I asked everyone stopped jumping and looked around they all shrugged and then Megan spoke up 'Gabriella can I talk to you for a second?' I nodded and walked to the toilets with her.

'I am really sorry for what I did, the only reason that I did it was because Matt told me the reason Michael left me was because you and him were sleeping with each other!' I looked at Megan in the eyes and I could see that she was telling the truth and was really sorry. There were tears in her eyes. I couldn't be mad at her anymore, if someone told me that I would probably do the same, but I knew that Matt slept with people but never broke it off with me.

'Ohhh honey I didn't know that my boyfriend was being a jerk again!' I made the hug tighter and so did Megan.

Once we pulled away Megan wiped away her tears and then gave me a hug which I returned. 'I think Amanda when to the changing rooms in the dance studio!' I gave her a questioning look and she just shrugged he shoulders.

'Okay thanks I'm gonna go find her!' I giggled and ran out of the toilets and to the dance studio.

I walked into the room and there was a light coming from the girls changing rooms. I looked around and I made the choice that I would wait for Amanda to finish changing and then we could both go find Matt together.

After waiting for 10 minutes I thought that she would at least be decent by now so I made my way though the doors that lead to the changing rooms.

I walked over to the shower section where I could hear voices, once I got there I stood shocked, I froze on the spot.

Matt and Amanda hadn't even noticed me. There they were standing there Matt had his jersey off while Amanda's skirt had been thrown on the floor some were.

Matt began to take Amanda's shirt and once he did he threw it behind him. It was only when he didn't hear it touch the floor that he turned around to see me holding it.

Troy's POV

I was waiting at the bleachers for Gabi and her boyfriend to come, I told her to bring him as I haven't been properly introduced to him yet. I knew he didn't like me but I like to know what my Brie is up to.

Suddenly the gym doors opened and I stood expecting Matt and Gabi walk in hand in hand, but Gabriella walked in with tears in her eyes Matt ran in behind her and was trying to get his basket ball jersey over his head.

Matt ran up to Ella and stopped her by pulling on her wrist. She stopped suddenly but didn't turn around to look t him. They were talking but I couldn't hear what they were saying. Just then I heard Matt shout 'BECAUSE YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH HIM!' I knew that he was talking about me, Gabriella began to laugh a little then looked him dead in the eye.

'What do you think I am a female version of you?' When Gabi said you she pushed Matt a little on the shoulder, not hard but just for emphasis.

But Matt must have taken it the wrong way because as soon as Brie had stopped talking he pushed her back quite hard. She went flying back and hit her head on a bench, she let out a little scream then her eyes closed and didn't make a sound or move.

I slowly stood up expecting Matt to help his girlfriend up, but he didn't he just looked down at her body in shock.

I ran over to where the unconscious body was laying and left for her pulse, I wanted to scream at Matt for not doing anything but I was too scared that Gabi was dead.

There was the sound of laughter then Sharpay and Seth walked in, I looked over my shoulder to see the two stop dead in there tracks.

'Sharpay call 911!' I yelled which she did instantly; Seth ran over to where we were standing and held Gabriella's head while I tried to wake her up.

Soon Sharpay ran over to us after telling us that they would be here in 5 minutes, once she saw Gabriella on the floor she started silently crying, she wanted to be strong for 'Giggles' but after she saw he laying on the ground helpless she couldn't hold it in.
