Chapter 9

"Shut up!" Sharpay squealed as soon as she saw Gabriella's engagement ring. "Are you lying?"

Kelsi asked surprisingly as Gabriella shook her head, smiling. "I'm so happy for you!" Taylor hugged Gabriella.

Immediately Taylor pulled back, "Is Troy going to hurt you again?" "No, he put away his past; so did I."

Gabriella stated and the girls started talking about wedding stuff.

Meanwhile with the guys; "Are you sure Troy?" Chad asked. "Yea, I'm sure." Troy told his friends confidently.

"Do you think Shar will try and..." Ryan trailed off, while looking towards Zeke. "I don't think so Ry.

Shar has changed since then. I think that she understands that Gabby and Troy are meant for each other.

What she did 5 years ago was wrong." Zeke explained. Jason agreed, "Yeah; I mean Sharpay should be happy with her life.

Especially now that she has us, and especially Zeke." For once, Jason did make sense and everyone agreed.

With the girls; "Gabby, I think you should wear this." Kelsi pulled out Gabriella's "old" wedding dress.

"C'mon, really?" Gabriella took the wedding dress from Kelsi. "Yeah; you looked really pretty 5 years ago."

Sharpay agreed, smiling. For once, Sharpay had actually became nicer and everyone respected her nicely.

"Hmm...maybe I can still fit into this." Gabriella smiled as she headed into the bathroom.

20 minutes later; the doorbell suddenly rings and Gabriella is still in her wedding dress.

"I'll go answer it." she told her friends to stay in her room as she headed downstairs.

Finally she reached the door and opened it, "Chad?" she asked. Chad was tired coz he was running.

"What are you doing here?" she finally asked him as she let him enter the house. "It's about...Zeke and Jason.

They're in trouble. I couldn't find Troy anywhere." Chad explained as Gabriella gave him a glass of water.

Kelsi, Sharpay, and Taylor headed downstairs to listen in on the conversation between Gabby and Chad.

"What's wrong with Zeke and Jason?" Sharpay soon asked, entering the living room followed by Taylor and Kelsi.

"They're in trouble and I can't find Troy." Chad explained again.

Meanwhile with Troy; "Kayla, seriously stop." Troy backed away from Kayla (Gabriella's cousin).

"Why Troy?" Kayla asked seductively walking up to him. "I'm getting married."

His back was against the front door and he unlocked it. "C'mon, my cousin's not any good to you."

Kayla walked up to him and kissed his neck. It was the most sensitive spot throughout his whole body.

"Y-yes s-she is." He stuttered and opened the door. He turned around and took of running. "WAIT!!"

Kayla called, but Troy was too far away for her voice to be heard.

Troy finally arrived at Gabriella's house, breathing heavily as he knocked on the door.

"Troy!!" Gabriella wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately.

He was glad that Gabriella was the only person that he would love for the rest of his life.

"Where's Zeke and Jason?" she whispered quietly in his ear. "Kayla's house." he whispered back.

Gabriella pulled back away. "Oh no." she turned to Chad as he nodded. "Is that where you ran from baby?"

Taylor asked Chad. He nodded again. "I have to settle this. Troy, please stay here and watch Ali."

Gabriella kissed Troy's cheek and walked to her car. "Mommy, where are you going?" Ali asked.

"Your mom's going to a friend's house and needs you to stay here." Troy explained.

Ali watched as her mother drove away to Kayla's house.

Finally, Gabriella arrived at Kayla's house and knocked on the door briskly. "KAYLA LET ME IN!!!"

Gabriella screamed. Kayla opened the door quickly to see that her cousin what furious.

"What do you want Gabby?" she asked politely. "Give me my friends back and stay away from Troy."

Kayla found where Zeke and Jason were hiding, promised Gabriella to stay away from Troy, and asked for forgiveness.

"Please forgive me Gabs. I didn't know that Jason, Zeke, Chad, and Troy were your friends/boyfriend.

I'm really sorry and I hope that you'd forgive me." Gabriella had to think about it.

"Okay, but I'm giving you one more chance and you're invited to my wedding. No matter if Troy doesn't want you there.

You're still family. Wanna--" "NO!" Zeke and Jason interrupted Gabriella before she could say a word.

"Sure. I'd like to meet them." Kayla smiled and Gabriella smiled back. The boys followed the girls to Gabriella's car.

At last they arrived at Gabriella's house, "Nice house Gabby." Kayla complimented as they entered the house.

Once they were in the living room, everyone backed away from Kayla and Gabby.

Ali walked up to Kayla. "I'm Ali." she held out her hand, Kayla smiled. "Nice to meet you. I'm Kayla."

Kelsi, followed by Jason, Zeke, Sharpay, Taylor, Chad, and Troy walked up to Kayla to introduce themselves.

That night, "Babe, are you sure that you want to invite Kayla to our wedding?" Troy asked.

"I'm positive. She hated me when we were younger, but I guess it's time to forgive her."

Gabriella answered before turning of the lights. "G'night Troy." "Night." Troy sat there in bed, thinking.

2 weeks later...

"You may now kiss the bride." the priest finally said the last words; Troy and Gabriella finally kissed.

Later on, Kayla found her true love and became great friends with everyone.

Sharpay never interrupted Troy and Gabriella's relationship, Taylor was glad Gabriella and Troy were back together, Zeke made sure that Sharpay wasn't going into anymore trouble, Chad was happy for Troy to marry Gabriella...again, Ryan had just arrived a few minutes before the ceremony had ended, Kelsi and Jason were proud of their friends, and lastly, Ali was excited to finally have a dad who loves her.
